2-step and tailgating on a vintage red pickup truck have a really nice wholesome down home vibe.

re: his edit. I think so too

Probably MF and Co are testing the Bachelor water with him... I am on board with the idea of him being on my screen for the full 3 months.. (unless he turns out to be disappointing once he is in motion ). However, some folks said he is too young to be the lead...then again, Art Green, NZ Bachelor is also 26...yet IMO so far he seems mature for his age

Although 25 seems young right now, if he just turned 26, he would be 27 by the time TB airs ATFR. He could be engaged for 1-2 yrs and be married by 30.

When you know you know. I see no problem with this age.

I do think he's too young to be the lead and maybe even the f1. I'd much prefer a guy in very late 20's or early 30's otherwise they'll end up filling the season with too many of the young perky ones. JMO

We don't actually know what this guy is like on tv at this point so guess we'll see in May.

^ Agree. 
I am not very interested in seeing a young flock of 20's vie for a 26 y.o.
 Someone could end up throwing someone else off the romantic rooftop locale for the adrenaline date.

Per RS today about Ben and Kaitlyn's date last night:

A pretty simple date, but here are the basics from it:

-There were roughly 25-30 couples in the dance competition. Kaitlyn and Ben were couple #18
-Apparently he was very touch feely with her, and Kaitlyn seemed to be putting on a show for the cameras
-There were 3 judges: a woman from a country western dance organization, the co-owner of Gruene Hall, and a local dancing celebrity Betty Jo
-There was a woman who had to teach Kaitlyn and Ben to two-step in 45 minutes before the competition. It didn’t help apparently because Kaitlyn and Ben were terrible. Ben had to keep starting and stopping so Kaitlyn ended up leading them the whole time
-Kaitlyn and Ben were eliminated in Round 2. They went outside and filmed together after they were eliminated
-Winners were announced and Kaitlyn and Ben came back on out for an encore dancing with everyone and congratulating the winners
-They went outside and filmed for a while on the staged pick up truck (as you can see by the tweet) talking and kissing

Q for those in the know...

is Ben already home yet?....... In Advance

Not that we know of. We hope to hear from his friend if he does get eliminated. The one on one was the dance competition on Tuesday.There was a RC last night or there will be one tonight? I'm not sure if it's been confirmed either way when the RC will be. Hopefully he gets to stay.

^ RC was last night. Lots of pics in Kaitlyn Twitter sleuthing thread

speculation that he's left cos of in this pic

the two guys on the right would be the ones who've received roses -- the guy second from the right however, looks like nick rather than ben cos of his stance and his hairline
the speculation is that ben might have left or not been given the 1-1 rose but it's purely based on that image so far...so not substantial given the blurriness of the photo

Is there a photo of Ben and Shawn together where we can compare height?
