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

As far as Ben - Tarynn - Beth ... maybe, Ben knew that Beth was into him and such a sweet person AND a professional who needed to get back to work. Better to let her go sooner than later if he just wasn't feeling it.

He could very well be more into Angela than Tarynn or other girls (and Angela is reciprocating) but we just didn't see it last week. We know that Angela did SOMETHING right because the MM essentially told one of the gals (was it Tarynn?) to be more like Angela on the date.

As far as Tarynn goes, he maybe keeping her knowing that he could send her away later. Or, maybe his competitive juices are flowing and he's wanting to try to win her over. He is a smart guy but pretty obvious she was keeping him at arm's length (and then some!)

I really think that Ben is going to be the shocker ending from tweets I have ready from his girls and him. Either someone comes back (Not Kari for sure and she was the one who said it was going to be a shocker) but maybe someone from reality land...Courtney Kerr, or some other girl. I don't know it just seems that Ben wouldn't pop the question after only dating a few months and his interviews he basically says that his girl and him wont stay together for the show but they should just see where the relationship is going. Maybe he doesn't get engaged at all and thats the shocker. Or maybe he proposes and is shot down. Now that would be awesome. ha ha ha Maybe he asks Angela and she say not right now or something. giggling

@KariKrak ...just tell me you swoop in on the finale and its you we see in the previews lol I seriously am too obsessed with this show lol

Kari Krakowski ‏@KariKrak 14 May
it's better than that!!! :))))))))

@KariKrak Ok great now I HAVE to keep watching lol

Guys here is the conversation Kari, I and another girl were having. This is where we got that something big was going to happen.[/quote]

I can see Ben getting rejected, or at least put on hold, after a proposal to make Kari think this. That's about the only way i can make these tweets make sense. She's pretty over the whole thing and is hurt by him so for him to be taken down a peg, so to say, she would find that amusing. Otherwise, if he's with someone from the show, why would she think it's so great?

Also, this ties up what's in the back of everyone's mind that it was too soon to get engaged. If it is Angela, I don't see her letting that moment go for someone she barely knows. Especially if she's been careful not to give it all away up until now.

Thats exactly the way I took it. I think he gets shot down. And in his interview he said the relationship with his chosen is more stressful than fun. Maybe this is why.

Angela has a blog on a website that she does weekly. In Hawaii she was Ben's last date. They sat in a hot tub and they discussed how both of their parents were divorced at around the same age and she also discussed with Ben what qualities she wanted in a husband. There date ended in a champagne toast. Sounds to me like Ben saved the best date for last.

Thanks for the welcome. It is cupidspulse.com. I'm not good at cutting and pasting things unfortunately. I will see if I can do it.

My computer is not letting me go to cupidspulse.com. If you go to the website click on reality tv then ready for love. Ben even has his blog on there as well. Good information.

Here is Angela's blog:

You only saw three dates that took place with Ben: Beth, Renae and Tarryn. Ben and I had a really great date too! I was his last date, and we spent the evening soaking in a hot tub with a waterfall surrounding it. It was gorgeous, and we got to sit and talk more in depth. I really started to connect with him when we discussed our families and our similar upbringings. Our parents both divorced when we were the same age, and we’re both very close to our moms, who came from big families.

I also talked to him about what I was looking for in a potential husband. This process can be especially difficult since the girl is pursuing the guy in an unconventional manner, so it was important to me that Ben knew that I had qualities that I wanted in a man. A big must-have is that my guy not only has knowledge but also wisdom and discernment when making choices. Trust, honesty and integrity are key for a solid foundation with anyone, whether it be a romantic partner or a friend.

We ended the night with a champagne toast, and I slipped Ben a little note that I wrote on the plane telling him my thoughts about the experience so far.

Our house wasn’t so “kumbaya” after we got back to Los Angeles. There were only a few of us left, and we were all becoming more private about our dates.

it's kind of interesting that angela is being featured on that blog more than anyone else. is that because she signed on to do it for that site? or do they just like her comments the most?

Very interesting ... and kinda strange! We usually don't see a contestant blog while the show is airing. I read all of Angela's blogs to date and she discloses that she and Ben even have some mutual friends in common (and that she/Kari were in same sorority (but different colleges). She lives in Houston. Since Ben lives in Dallas, I am starting to think that Angela is NOT his F1. That's only 3 1/2 hours drive time away. According to Ben's interviews, he and his F1 have gone as much as a month without seeing each other.

So if Angela is his F1, they certainly didn't make much of an effort to get together.

Based on how unimpressed he seemed to be with Allie during his time on AfterBuzz, I just can't imagine that she is his F1.

I guess that leaves us with Tarryn and Renae.

Will be interesting to see how this all unfolds ...
