Me too! I'm not going to let RS or other F1 spoilers sway me the way I did this past season. Though I have to admit Chantal was easy to fall in love with! 8)

Famous last words!

Tweet about Ben C:

"kimmer116: nola is abuzz about the bachelorette contestant being local. from what i hear he is no prince charming."

Maybe he'll be the tabloid guy this season? Have we heard anything good about him yet?

Here's Ben's Martindale .com listing. Seems like a lot of people are searching for him. He's the #3 clicked on lawyer in New Orleans and 400 out of 1.5 million lawyers in the U.S.

Ben's firm has already removed him from their website. Here's the cached version (which Richlp posted the text from above)

Above the Law said Ben took a 6 week leave of absence from his firm. But since his firm has scrubbed him from their website, could it mean he already knows he'll be gone longer (as in he's one of Ashley's early faves) and will have to be in hiding until the finale, which is more like 12 weeks (March to the end of July) and so he quit?

Maybe that's why Above the Law said he has to stay in the safe house until the end. ("Castoriano has already left and has to stay in the house until the final rose, even if he’s eliminated.") It probably just assumed staying out of sight meant staying in the Bach House. I doubt they follow the show that closely.

Aren't we often told that the Bach/ette knows who the final four will be almost immediately?

Ben Flajnik looks like Kyle from Colorado who was on Ali's season.

It made me sad to see Bentley's ex wife's blog and the baby pictures and how happy they looked. Why didn't it work out? They looked so happy and like he had it all.

Ben speaks French. Does Ashley speak French, being so close to the Canadian border?

by anders Thu Mar 24, 2011 3:24 pm

Did she speak it on her HTD - I dont' recall. I believe the pronunciation of her last name is French, although that doesn't necessarily mean she can speak it, of course.
