Re: Ben Patton - Ready For Love - Spoilers - Thread #1

Tigertiz, kudos for sleuthing the Kari/Tanner Instagram pics and comments. It's so weird how intertwined these shows are. I'm just happy Ben sees through Kari's games because he still seems to care for her at this point in the show.

Love, I can't decide how I feel about Angela yet. I need more time. Lol.

That's for sure the truth, Beeleever.. It's amazing ( I can't believe I used that word ) when you sit and think about it. I truly hope Ben doesn't chose Kari, as I think she has her own agenda for being on there and finding love isn't it, at least not with Ben. I feel like she'll only break his heart..

I actually had a source for that information. I just brought it out to share.

Love Me - I think that Angela seems a bit closed off and tough, and that is similar to Kari. So in that sense - they could well be a couple. I guess Ben has a type.

Depends on how you look at that. Something derailed his relationship with Kari the first go-around.

What did you think of the selection of women there were to choose from?

I really thought the selection was great. The one curve ball that I was not too happy about was when they brought Kari, a girl who I had dated in the past, onto the show. I thought going into it that this would be a fresh start — all new people, all new experiences. I was supposed to be paying attention to the 11 other women, but when she was thrown into the mix, all of a sudden, 90 percent of my mind was being occupied by the fact that Kari was there. Why is she there? What did she tell them? Do they really know the truth? Things just kept overflowing into my mind. That was the biggest surprise.

What was the hardest elimination?

Sometimes they chose girls because they felt a connection wasn’t being made, but sometimes the matchmakers chose two girls for elimination because they could tell I was falling for both. They said, “You are going to have to choose one, because if you don’t, you’re going to prevent yourself from falling for either one. You will always have both of them in front of you and you will be guarded, which will prevent you from falling for either one.” Essentially, they needed me to send one girl home so I could fall in love with the other. They felt that I never would have gotten 100 percent with one of the girls if the other was there.

Wow this is a tough one. In one of Ben's tweets he said He wasn't going to say his choice was Kari or not and not to believe in what you see from the spoilers. They are masters at editing. I mean does he definitely propose? Wasn't he the one who said he liked this show over the bachelor because he wasn't pressured to propose? He just seems too smart to propose after knowing someone for a few months. I don't know though.

To me, IMO, this doesn't sound very good for Kari. Kinda like he resented her being there. I hope he doesn't choose her. She had him once. Why did she let him go? Was it her fault or his? Could she have made it work or did she not want to? Those kind of questions comes to mind when I think about her. Also troubling is her relationship with Tanner Pope and it being as long s it was and how long has it been over with? Just things that come to mind.

I am starting to really agree with this. Especially since she is still chatting it up with Tanner on Twitter and Facebook. If Ben chose her I would bet he wouldn't want any communication with Tanner. She did tweet that she is really really happy so maybe she is back with Tanner.

tpopealope @natalie_proctor Natalie! She is the LoML...you know this! 2d
Wow, I'm guessing LOML means "love of my life". I too don't think Ben is with Kari.

happy, thanks for posting the link to the Ben interview. A couple of things caught my eye. And, I wonder what y'all think about this.

What surprised you most about the experience?

What surprised me most was that throughout it, I realized I was more often getting in my own way than not. I think it is very unusual for anyone to realize that they are sabotaging themselves because they never thought like that. For me, I was so specific about the type of girl I wanted that ultimately that was making it very difficult for me to find a person I would fall in love with. What they showed me is when you are thinking of your type, you are thinking of people you have been in love with, but when you fall in love with someone new, your type will also change.

They had to get me to open up, and when I opened up, I realized they were absolutely right. When I fell for someone new, even though they weren’t my “type,” all of a sudden, my type changed, too. Because now what was my type was different. It is a product of all the people we have been in love with in the past.

Am I reading too much into this? The blue sounds like he's talking about Kari. The red sounds like he's talking about his F1. It doesn't sound to be one and the same. Also notice he says, "making it very difficult for me to find a person that I would fall in love with," not who I could fall in love with. So it sounds to me like he falls in love with someone who is not his ex, Kari. Make sense?

Also I noticed at the end of the interview it said:

“Ready for Love” episodes are now available online, with a new episode posted every Tuesday. The finale will be available on June 9.

What the heck?! I thought there were only eight episodes with the last being shown on May 28. Are they giving a new episode now, or are they just going to drag it out and release one hour during one of the weeks? What I would absolutely love if they gave us a "Where Are They Now?" episode. It would be a lovely reward for all those who stayed loyal to a cancelled show. Eva, are you hearing this?

It definitely sounds like the blue is talking about Kari and he has found someone new. The question is who. Lets do a vote and see what most of us come up with...

[klisack]

Yeah I have given up on the whole Kari thing. She is happy now so at least thats good. The girls went and visited her in Dallas. Maybe they didn't dislike her as much as it came across. OK so who is Ben's F1? Tall blond? Angela???

[Guest]

June 9, why! If they do that, they are dragging it out almost 2 weeks! Are they showing something on the 4th, and then the finale on the 9th? I would love a follow up though! Looks like a few hour shows coming up.
