Isadora -- Hi!!  I think I remember you from the motherboard although I have not posted there in ages.  Somewhere I speculated Ashley S. was dehydrated and remarked that when you are in the tropics hydration is critical.  Anytime I've been in the tropics I always have a water bottle in my hand.  As to what she was wearing, good theory!!

OT -- amazed there are so few comments on this episode!!

The late, lamented ABC board sprouted thread after thread on any and everything after every episode. There was no designated thread for any episode and I think with so many  transplants from there they are just carrying on the way they always did.

Personally, I like the concept of an episode specific thread or topic as it is easier to read the various opinions rather than jumping all over and opening a topic titled So and So's outrageous behaviour only to find the conversation has turned to what fertilizer someone's maiden aunt uses to grow her prizewinning petunias.   

Keep on with the episode topics, newto, eventually all of us ABC board refugees will catch on to the concept.

Thank you, Lesalee.  I am just following along with the way we have always done things here, and this is how it is also done on the other bach/ette board.  We seem to have the software and ability here to be a bit more "organized," if you will, than was possible on the motherboard.  The "refugees" will either catch on to the concept,or they won't.  Whatever they do is fine with me, so long as everybody is happy here.         JMHO.

Interesting comments about Nick by Ashley when she said she had never seen the appeal of Nick until she was seated beside him at a function and began conversing (conversating? LOL) with him. Suddenly he became very attractive to her. Does Nick have some higher gear that kicks in when he is around a lovely lady? Seems like he does.
