You’ve waited two weeks for it, and it’s finally here. Podcast #22 with former top-3 finisher on Sean Lowe’s season and former contestant on the original “Bachelor in Paradise,” AshLee Frazier. The newly married AshLee Frazier I might add, as we recorded this interview on Tuesday, which was one month to the day of her wedding. I think you’ll enjoy AshLee’s interview as she’s the first contestant I’ve interviewed from Sean Lowe’s season, so we take a stroll down memory lane as she recaps her time on that season, including some never before told anecdotes from her time there. Even refreshes my memory on some things I’d forgotten about that season. Of course, I couldn’t have AshLee on without bringing up the rumors I posted here on my site a couple years ago about her once dating Chris Harrison, which she addresses. We also talk about the selfless thing she and her husband did for her wedding, which goes back to her upbringing. Looking forward to all of you hearing from AshLee, and as always, if you want to comment on it via Twitter, be sure to include AshLee’s twitter address (@ashleefrazier) in your responses. Enjoy…
