Especially if you're in the same State.

HAWAII DATE
AfterBuzz hosts asked Angela the turning point for her relationship with Ben and she said their Hawaii date ... which we did NOT see thanks to Eva's production team. She said that they had the last date of the week and were in a hot tub drinking champagne and that was when she finally felt comfortable and forgot about cameras. She said they talked about a lot/what they wanted in a relationship and it really made her fall for him and that date took their relationship to another level.

HOMETOWN DATE
She said that they really cut out so much great stuff and she was disappointed about that. She also made comment about editing in general for show and AfterBuzz hosts totally picked up on that ... said they heard that a lot of contestants not happy with editing of show. Angela said that she and Ben had so much fun going skeet shooting. I wish they would have shown that because I can see Ben, being the adventure/outdoorsy guy, really digging that about her. Angela said they really played up her virgin angle too much and didn't show that she's a fun person too.

MOM TO HOLD VIEWING PARTY
She said her mom is planning to hold a really big viewing party and keeps inviting more people. I have to assume that her mother knows ending so if her girl is broken hearted at the end, I can't imagine that she'd want to be surrounded by a huge crowd to watch her daughter end up in tears.

ANGELA & KARI ROOMMATES
She said that she and Kari were roommates and that she was initially the most closest to Kari because they had so much in common. Kari is from Austin and Angela went to UT Austin. They were in same sorority (!!) and had lots of things to discuss because of similar shared experiences. She was starting to really like Kari as a friend when she realized, "What am I doing here..." Angela brought up time in the vineyard date when she said if Kari & Ben are going to get back together, then fine but she did not want to be a bystander throughout the process.

MOST INTERESTING COMMENT RE: KARI
AfterBuzz hosts asked if all the women from Ben's house were still friends. She said that since she was in F2 with Allie, she was not able to continue bonding friendships with other girls who had left earlier but that many have reached out to her and she is friendly with them. She said that it has been most awkward with Kari of all girls in Ben's house. She said something about finally reaching out to her because they have a group text thing going (similar I guess to Tim's girls) but they never renewed their friendship like they had started in house. The way that Angela was talking about Kari made me totally think that Ben could be referring to Angela as having issues with Kari going to bday party on the AfterBuzz show. Angela said that she got closest to Shand after they combined finalists into one house.

BEST PART OF EXPERIENCE
She seemed to take her time answering this question but said going on dates with Ben was best part. I honestly could not tell if it was getting to spend time with Ben or just getting out of house though.

OFFERED TO COME BACK NEXT WEEK
Angela offered to go back on AfterBuzz next week to tell more. I'd think if she was trying to put behind her that she'd be "done" ... BUT ... she also talked about jewelry line she is launching so it could be about publicity for that.

The fact that F1 Shandi and Angela both appeared on AfterBuzz could be coincidence or not. After hearing this interview, my impression is that it is more likely that Angela is final 1 than not. One of the hosts kept saying that she thought Angela was F1.

Angela sounds like a great gal with really good head on her shoulders. Ben would be crazy not to give it an honest shot with her.

Actually angela is living in Los angeles now.

stg73 wrote:If Angela is living in LA now, does it seem strange she would have moved further away from him if she is his F1 & they are still together? He has made it clear he can't leave Dallas.

lovinlife wrote:Matchmaker you have obviously not seen the After Buzz with Ben on it have you? I dont know what he was thinking but he pretty much trashes Ali on it. He says when he saw her screaming at Kari he was shocked. He made it very clear that she wasnt the one. Really wierd to me how candid he was and strange since she ended up being in the top 2. Didnt he realize he gave it away? He also says things about Sara that makes you think Tim picks Jenna. He said it is too intimidating to have to live up to someones past love. And the only name he could remember was Jenna.

2observe wrote:I will say that, imo, nothing has been shown between Ben and Angela that would support Ben proposing. At least with Allie, we have seen them discuss things relating to being a couple, so I could see him proposing to Allie before I could him proposing to Angela. [/quote

Did we see Allie and Ben's date in Hawaii! We did not see them together in Vegas, they focus on Allie's melt down and I guess that was significant maybe as to who Ben chooses

Idlemess wrote:I don't remember, I don't think so. I think that Ben knew he was going to take Angela, Tarryn and Allie home to meet his parents, so he focus on Renae and the other girl he let go (can't remember her name).

As per Angela she got a date in Hawaii but it was not shown. I was saying that I did not see for Allie either.

Like everyone, I don't get the editing either for this show.
