'The Bachelorette' Finale Recap: 'It's Love Or Nothing'

Momentous occasion, she's practically bursting with information. She tells Mama Laurie, Stepdad Mike, Brother Elliot and Mean Girl Chrystie that she's met a bunch of great guys and she has a "passion" for JP, but she has more in common with Ben. When her sister asks her point-blank if she's in love, Ashley replies that she is, though she still hasn't made up her mind. But she really values her family's opinion (especially her sister's) so she can't wait to introduce them all.

First up is JP, who shows up nervous with a bottle of wine. Almost immediately, Ashley's mom welcomes JP to the family (that was fast!) but Mean Girl Chrystie isn't ready to open her heart so quickly. It's time for Tough Questions, the first one being, "Does JP make you laugh?" Which, to be honest, wouldn't have been a tough question at all, if Ashley hadn't have taken a colossal pause before looking at JP and saying, "I think I'm funnier than you." Eek! As warning bells start flashing in everyone's head, Ashley cuddles up to JP again and blissfully sips her wine. Clearly, someone needs to clue her in, and Chrystie is just the woman for the job.

She takes Ashley into the house and tells her that she "just doesn't see it" and that Ashley isn't acting like herself around JP. "I just don't think he's the one," she tells our stunned Bachelorette. "I think you're too much for him." Apparently, Ashley really does value her sister's opinion, because she promptly dissolves into tears and starts hiccup-crying. "My heart's a little broken, that's all," she says pitifully, as her sister sits across from her stone-faced. (Oh, geez. It's getting to the point where a stiff breeze would make Ashley cry.)

( LIST: 32 Epic Reality TV Moments )

Mean Girl Chrystie has already made one person cry (and we're only 20 minutes into the show), so let's see if she can make someone else break down. She takes JP outside to sit him down for some real talk. After about half a second of pleasantries she drops some sisterly knowledge on him: "Usually I trust Ashley's opinion, but I just don't see it."

As JP sputters in disbelief, Chrystie goes on to list the reasons why she just doesn't see the lovebirds lasting: he's "much older" than Ashley, she's suspicious that he's still single even though he's so old, she doesn't think he can handle how fun her sister is, and she thinks Ashley seemed happier around Bachelor Brad from last season. Um, ouch!

Do Your Prospects Have a “Crush” on You? | Day Economic 8

Article by Kim Duke

My cutie-pie (and very funny) 10 year old niece told me something yesterday. With a big smile on her face she announced:”Auntie, 2 boys in my class have a crush on me. Billy and Jessie. They are both very nice (get ready for this part)…but I have to be SURE that I like them too.”You probably would have laughed at the look on my face at that moment!I was thinking…”A 10-year old girl has the confidence to NOT have a crush BACK -just because someone likes her.”I love it!Which of course reminded me of YOU.Do Your Prospects Have A “Crush” On You?Here’s the deal lady.When sales are sluggish it can be very easy to drop your “customer filter” and start taking any old business that knocks on the door. Sometimes those prospects want to pay you far less than you’re worth – and sometimes those prospects are just not the right fit (but you’re tempted to take the biz anyway).Because this can very dangerous to your profit margins, time, energy and possible frustration levels – let me give you a Sales Diva warning.You Have The Right To Turn Down A CrushYep.Don’t start chewing your lip from anxiety and then turn into a lazy salesperson.

Just because someone likes you doesn’t mean you have to like them automatically. Did you make a decision?”She said:”Yeah – Billy offered to buy me a milk.But Jessie makes me laugh really hard- so I think I like him better.”If a 10 year old can be discerning with her “crushes” I think you can too – don’t you??So there.Love From Your Bossy Sales Diva,Kim
