She is a 26 year old, fourth year dental student at the University of Pennsylvania, but put off her studies to try to win the heart of Austin Bachelor Brad Womack, this past season. As the third place runner up, and a part of one of the most heartbreaking break-ups the Bachelor has seen so far, Ashley has confirmed she is ready to get back out there and find true love.

"I feel like this season taught me so much about myself," she told PEOPLE after the announcement. "It primed me for a new relationship. I'm ready to meet 25 new guys. Bring 'em on!"

Hopefully this time around she will learn from the mistakes that brought down her epic relationship with Brad.

"I never thought I'd fall in love so quickly for somebody. This is all new to me. I can see myself with him." Ashley told ABC.

Maybe she will learn from the instant sparks she had with Brad and realize that questioning them only leads to more doubt from both sides. Hopefully in her season she will put forth an effort to let the magic of love just happen rather than always question it.

As the most levelheaded contestant on her season, despite some minor insecure moments, Ashley appears to be a prime candidate for the coveted role as the Bachelorette.

According to The Hollywood Reporter her season is already in production and will air May 23^rd on ABC at its usual time on Mondays. Im already counting down the days!

Moving to Austin

It seems that Emily has finally come around and made giant leap forward in her and Brad’s relationship.  Announced March 30^th, Emily will be moving to the vibrant city of Austin, Texas!

Despite her previous reservations about moving her 5-year-old daughter Ricki from their hometown in North Carolina, Emily has made the decision to really commit herself to Brad. Which is definitely good news for our beloved Austin Bachelor!

I think this decision had a lot to do with the fact that Brad had really laid his foot down about not moving to North Carolina, "I know love is a compromise, but that's the only thing that I was very adamant about," he tells Life & Style. "I have some very strong roots there. I don't want to relocate. I have a career in Austin."

An article in the Huffington Post Entertainment an insider says, "She feels like the best thing to do is to give this a real shot and put her heart into it by moving to Austin. . .”

Emily will be moving to Austin this summer and to explore her relationship with Brad, however she intends to purchase a condo and not move in with him just yet.

I think Emily has finally chosen the right path, especially by leaving all of her ex’s and drama behind in North Carolina, to get a fresh start in Austin.

Yesterday she tweeted,  "Had the best weekend with my two favorite people. Sad but counting down the days until I get to see him again.” Could this mean that there really will be the wedding we have hoped for all season?

But there still remains an issue with the latest rumor about the pair.  Emily is now expecting?  Is this why she dediced to take the plunge and move all the way to Austin?  Only time will tell if this is fact or fiction.
