Ashley Admits She Did Love Brad After All

Can I be your dentist?

I got to ask Ashley Hebert a couple of questions during a press conference call today.  I will have a more detailed post up tomorrow, but here are some highlights:

(1) She is a 4th year dental student and will be graduating this spring.  She was able to do The Bachelor because she worked out a special arrangement with her school to take the time off and she put in extra work when she got back to catch up.

(2) She blames the falling out with Brad during South Africa on miscommunication and the fact that her date came after Emily's date, whom she believes Brad is really in love with.

(3) She sounded very interested in being the next Bachelorette than go on Bachelor Pad 2. 

(4) She was perfectly willing to move to Austin, Texas and felt like her and Brad WERE at very similar points in their life, despite what others may have thought.

(5) She realized after she went home that she really did love Brad.

I asked her whether, if things ended up not working out between Brad and whomever he chooses, would she consider striking things up again with him.  This actually got a laugh out of her (she actually seemed quite bubbly and outgoing on the phone - as opposed to how we left her in South Africa - defeated and frustrated).  She responded that she'd have to think about it, but would definitely consider it (sounds like a yes to me).  More tomorrow...
