Heartache Tonight: Bachelorette Season 7 Episode 3

This week's episode was painful to watch. It starts with a one-on-one date with Super Ben, the purpose of which is to further showcase Ashley's dancing skills under the guise of a flash dance mob a la the now-famous Black Eyed Peas' appearance on Oprah. The show doesn't fully commit to the premise and it looks more like a high school version of the BEP event. Also, for some reason they thought it might be a neat idea for Ben to be totally surprised by the event he was supposed to participate in. I'm sure he never asked himself why he's learning this stupid stupid dance.

Next was the Worst Group Date, EVER! This was a roast where the guys are supposed to make fun of Ashley. Not such a good idea to roast someone who is pretty insecure about not being Emily. The date ends in tears with the low point surprising NOT the guys that made fun of Ashley's small boobs.

After the group date, after repeatedly saying horrible things to the diary interviewer, Bentley decides to leave the show. When he breaks the news to Ashley, she acts like she's known him for more than the three interactions they shared. She cries and cries and cries. She admits that she had already decided that she was the one despite the warnings from his ex-wife via last season's villain, Michelle.

Ashley is forced to go on a low-key one-on-one date with Cupcake who does his best to stay positive. They hang out at the Bachelorette pad and try not to think about Bastard Bentley.
