UPDATED 2:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Ashley Palenkas of Macomb Township did not make the cut on the first episode of the new season of "The Bachelor" on Monday night.
Her provocative dancing and obsession with "Fifty Shades of Grey" didn't seem to impress Sean Lowe during the first cocktail party and rose ceremony. Palenkas was also seen in the final clip of the show, waving around a tie, showing off a blurred tattoo and, finally, asking her mom not to be upset with her wild behavior.
