5 Reasons Ashley Hebert Should Pick JP Rosenbaum

It’s never too late to give a person you’ve never met advice on a decision they already made two months ago. So here are five reasons why Ashley Hebert should pick JP Rosenbaum on The Bachelorette Season 7 finale:

1. They have the best chemistry.
Chrystie is chrazy. When JP and Ashley kiss, they have the kind of fireworks Michelle Money talked about on The Bachelor Season 15. Ashley calls JP’s smile the cutest thing she’s ever seen and says looking at him makes her want to smile forever. He says he wants to be the last man standing, not to “win” but because he wants to marry her. When he says sweet stuff, it sounds completely and utterly sincere. She’s so into him. He’s so into her. We’re so into them.

2. She needs a supportive, sensitive guy.
Ashley called JP her “rock” through this “journey.” He was the guy who picked up the Bentley pieces — twice — and even wasted his breath trying to convince the other guys to give Ashley a break after she told them about Bentley’s comeback. JP did an adorable video for the official Bachelor site after Episode 6, where he asked the audience to give Ashley a break, too. So all those people who think JP is too jealous and controlling for Ashley must’ve missed the part where he was the first to get over her obsession with Bentley. On that note...

3. A little jealousy is a good thing.
JP’s “Jealous Person” briefly reared his head in Taiwan — and some viewers freaked about the idea that he objected to her kissing other guys. Imagine! You’d almost hope your future fiance would care about you enough to want you to himself. We’d be more worried about the bachelors who don’t care who she’s smooching by Episode 7, ‘cause those guys are probably just along for the ride.

4. He’s ready to settle down.
JP is 34, which is not ancient, despite the idea that a single guy in his mid-30s is a Hugh Hefner waiting to happen. JP spent his 20s as the kind of serial dating emotional zombie Ben Flajnik seemed to be until recently, then got his heart broken by a girl he dated for about two and a half years. JP’s ex found someone new and it hurt him. He’s ready to find someone who wants him exclusively and that’s what Ashley wants for herself, so it’s nice to think that “the process” actually worked in bringing them together. He lives in New York, which is close to where Ashley is finishing dental school in Philly. We can see her enjoying city life with JP, strolling through farmers markets, and hanging out with her Bachelor BFF Ashley Spivey, who also lives in the Big Apple.

5. They already have a cute nickname.
This is more for us than them, but we’re really taken with the whole Team Cupcake thing. It just sounds too cute to not be true. Right from the premiere, when JP talked about how his boss nicknamed him Cupcake — and Ashley said she wants her husband to call her Cupcake — the stage was set for a super-sweet finale. If she doesn’t pick him, we’ll be heartbroken.
