Here are a couple more screencaps and what Brad says to Ashley on their FD:
"I don't want to scare you, but I am trying to plan a future"
![]()
"Treat others the way you want to be treated."
and she would answer that she is not ready yet to settle down and have kids
he is 38... so he wants that in the next 2-3 years max
how long would brad have to wait ... too long in his book
and that sealed his decision (if of course his mind was not made already with chantal)
Another thing Brad says to Ashley on their FD during dinner:
"Why are we spending so much time trying to reassure ourselves instead of just going with it"
![]()
"Treat others the way you want to be treated."
because both of them are not in love and it was not the right time for both of them to meet and make up
The thing I keep in mind that ashley did not have much intimate moments with him.. her 1:1 is week 2!!! the 2:1 was with her best friend in the house so it was bittersweet
since then it was only group dates
so how can any woman feel secure in a relationship? I do not blame her to be hesitant and try to reinsure the connection no????
on top of that she perfectly know that chantal is madly in love with brad and she must compare her own feelings and think that she did not reach this level yet...

Couldn't these SCs be of Brad talking to Ashley AFTER he had let her go? Just like how he sat down with Shawntel to explain why he did not give her a rose, I can see Brad doing the same with Ashley. Has anyone figured out the background of these SCs?
And maybe instead of having a talk with Ashley, the jaw-dropping choice might have been Brad's decision to talk with Chantal - ala Jillian and Ed before F3 RC. The outcome of that talk allowed Chantal to stay on and Ashley was let go - otherwise, Ashley might have been F2.
sorry. too late to delete the above post and transfer it to the edit thread
