Hong Kong Phooey: Bachelorette Season 7 Episode 6
This week on The Bachelorette, Ashley travels to Hong Kong to finally get closure with Bentley. Unsurprisingly, Bentley has not changed since he left the show. Thankfully, we are spared any new Bentley diary interviews. Ashley goes on another one-on-one date that involves walking as well her first, second one-on-one date. The group date involves a pointless boat race. The cocktail party takes an ugly turn when Ashley attempts something close to honesty. One contestant who realizes the best he can hope for is fourth place takes this opportunity to walk. Read my full recap here.

Everybody Chiang Mai Tonight: Bachelorette Season 7 Episode 5
This week the show heads to Chiang Mai, Thailand which we are repeatedly told is very romantic.
The first one-on-one date is with Ben the winemaker and involves walking around a market, painting umbrellas, and sitting near the sacred ruins of a temple.
Next is the group date which involves the guys boxing each other after a few short hours of training in the national sport of Muay Thai fighting. Ashley is the only one surprised at how violent boxing can be. One of the contestants is driven off in an ambulance after taking three heavily gloved punches to a heavily padded head. The story is that he had a mild concussion.
The final date is a two-on-one date with William, Ben the lawyer, and elephants. William attempts to save himself by throwing Ben under the bus and he is partially successful.

Thai Me Down: Bachelorette Season 7 Episode 4
This week, Ashley attempts to pick up the pieces of her love life by fleeing the country and heading to Thailand.
The first one-on-one date was with Constantine who was incredibly boring. To make matters worse, their date was rained out and Plan B was to walk around and find someone old to talk to. Ashley was still bummed about Bastard Bentley.
The group date involved bringing gifts and performing maintenance for a local orphanage. It was nice to see such a terrible show do something positive.
The second one-on-one date was with Ames. They went kayaking through beautiful caves. He was eloquent and worldly and must be hiding a terrible secret to go on this show. They had a good date but he didn't kiss her.

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.
