If he is the "hide and seek" guy (I believe he is) in the season preview then he gets 2 before his overnight date.

What's the "hide and seek" date? And does everyone agree that it's him on the date? He would at least have a second date before over nights...right? Doesnt that always happen?

Well I guess this season is different since there are no hometown dates but it makes since he would've had more than one to get to F3. And it's the "ready or not, here I come" part in the preview. I think the voice sounds like him but others have said they think it's Chris.

They're in Ireland weeks 6 and 7 right? And 8..??? Or just 6 and 7? The dates after week 6 arent known, so he could of possibly gotten a date then? Most likely week 7?

I'm liking Ben H. more and more each week. Just a really good dude with an excellent head on his shoulders, very mature, and well-spoken. Really really quality guy.

People from other sites say he looks like Peter Brady.  I googled him and yay!

Ben just posted a picture on IG from St. Petersburg, FL so for those who wondered the other day where he was flying to, that's the answer.

I love it when I really like a cast before we "meet" them, and the person turns out to be who I thought they were. That is Ben for me, this season. Love who he is.

I am interested to see how Ben responds to his dates with Kaitlyn on SM. Whether he posts photos from the show or not. He did retweet support for Kaitlyn but has not posted any kissing shots like Dr C and Shawn have.

I almost think that Ben is not in discussion to be the next lead because he doesn't want to be, not because TPTB don't want him. It would not surprise me if Ben realized how unreal reality tv is and how it is not the way to find real, authentic love. My esteem for him will increase if this is the case and he turns anything bachelor-related down and just lives his life. He's too good for this nonsense, imo.

Why is it that we never want the good guys to be TB? We know what this franchise can do to people, but if that's the case, does that mean we want a bad guy as a lead?

He's a sweet smart funny guy. Perfect bachelor lead material. I'm looking forward to seeing more of him on his date.



ETA: Maybe not so much when he talks about the ex. I wish they wouldn't do that!!

I really want a good guy to be lead - that's what makes a great Bachelor season for me - and would love a lead like Art from the NZ Bach.  :Nod: Just a nice gentleman who knows what he wants. Keeping my fingers crossed that TPTB will make that happen.

As of now, there are quite a few good guys on K's season and my top choice for lead is Ben H because he seems like the most mature and balanced candidate, imo, and wouldn't be fazed as much by TPTB. He seems so comfortable with who he is. Very refreshing.  

ETA: since I am wishing Ben to be lead, I guess I will also wish that TPTB get rid of the proposal ending and overnight/sex dates. Just a "let's date" FRC rather than a proposal disguised as "let's date". *one can dream*

I never want my good guy favorite as the lead. I am one of the biggest Sean Lowe fans around these parts and I was very against him being the lead because I was afraid TPTB would somehow turn him into a joke. Luckily, he wouldn't let that happen and remained true to himself not to mention got an awesome wife out of the deal. I'd have the same hope if Ben ended up as the Bachelor but I sincerely hope he doesn't. And that's not just because I would like to date him.

He talks about the ex on his date? What about? And why?

GIIIRL HURRY UP!! If you don't snatch him up, I will!! LOL.

Ben could be a great lead, but the casting will have to be stellar. I dont trust TPTB to find him the right one!

Ben H is a stand up guy so mature especially for his age.
