Ashley Hebert, 'The Bachelorette,' Chooses JP Rosenbaum As Winner, Gets Engaged

NEW YORK — "Bachelorette" Ashley Hebert (AY'-behr) has picked her match made in network TV heaven.

The last man standing on the ABC dating reality show "The Bachelorette" is J.P. Rosenbaum from New York's Long Island. Hebert chose the 34-year-old construction manager over winemaker Ben Flajnik from California in Monday's two-hour finale.

Hebert accepted Rosenbaum's marriage proposal on the show as well.

Tabloids and blogs have speculated for weeks that Rosenbaum was the season's winner.

Hebert is a 26-year-old Madawaska, Maine, native. She now lives in Philadelphia and attends dental school.

She's the seventh "Bachelorette" in the show's history. She competed on "The Bachelor" for Brad Womack's affections in season 15.

So far, only two couples from "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette" franchise have made it down the aisle.

Counting down to the breakup. I don't watch these as they don't allow my kind. But I love the breakup updates from these fake, manufactured relationships.

Funny this article doesn't mention her show was the lowest-rated Bachelorette of all time. She's about as exciting as watching paint dry - so no wonder!

This show is competing with "The Swan" for the tile of Most Utterly StupidReality Show in history.

And this halfWit Ashley takes the cake for most self-indulgentTwit in the show's asinineLegacy.

Did anyone else think that Ryan (the guy she castoff earlier)
is just posing way too hard to be the next bachelor?

I mean, when a guy cries and says, " I just want to love someone. I deserve true love."...
I dont know...but that was my reaction to seeing him in the after-shows.

Ashley's sister needs to be the next Bachelorette! I would love to see a no-nonsense gal who rips on the suitors who are tools and holds their feet to the fire. We need a cranky bachelorette, who does not spout rainbows and unicorns!

So her journey towards complete unlikeability is complete?

I only seriously watched last nite, i hadn't seen the whole thing and there was nothing on last nite and i happened upon it, i could tell from one episode that she is a total phony and that Ben guy was really sweet and he was a cutie pie and believe me he is better off without her. She didn't impress me at all!

I think maybe Ben is better off WITHOUT her. You had a fresh view seeing only the last show, so you may have seen something others did'nt. You are right Ben was very sweet and very hurt. I don't think JP would have been as hurt, but it's her choice, just to add, I too belive she is a little phony. Don't think it will last.

I see a Jake Vienna scenario all over again. She should have listened to her sister...infatuation with JP overshadowed the true love I seen with her and Ben. I would take Ben any day over all those guys there.

I knew she would pick JP, but I was hoping against hope that she'd pick Ben. My heart just broke for him when she rejected his proposal. She's mistaking JP's jealousy for love, and that's what will kill the relationship. I love Ben, and I think he has way too much class to do another show.

I liked JP and Ben; they both seemed equally nice, and I know that Ben will find love and romance elsewhere. There cannot be any fun being rejected in front of the entire TV viewing audience, but Ben put his heart and emotions out there and, sadly, rejection is part of the show. In fact, I liked Ben and JP bettter than Ashley; I found her annoying and one of the weakest "Bachlorette" that has ever appeared on the show. I also hope that I do not have to see that cad Bentley again as he craves more "air time." Show him the door, please.

Didn't know Ashley's sister was Kat Von D!

Glad this season is over. The orchestrated Bentley factor was so obvious. Hope the producers can pick a really good bachelor to make up for the worst Bachelorette show yet.

Ashley's sister is mentally disturbed. She's also very jealous to her little sister who has avoided cluttering her body with graffiti. The sister needs therapy.

Could not believe she was questioning Ashley's choice, when she is so covered with cartoon tattoos that you would have to wonder about her sanity. Can't believe she thinks that was cool. She said she was divorced and I can imagine her ex saying "not another tattoo, I am out of here".

Her sister must be sad from her recent breakup with Jesse James.
