I know nothing was shown of him this season and don't know if his tv persona will be close to the real Ben or simply what TPTB want Ben to be.
What I do know is this lady(me) is ready for something, anything 180 degrees from this season.

Got ya! We've been patient enough, and we are overdue for a season with a lead who is there for the "right reasons," dang it!!!!!!!

I found him to be very quick witted and loved his sarcastic sense of humor with K...I just don't think we got to see too much of it. I think he will be great! I think in his interview with E (link above), that he seemed very cautious/controlled with what he was saying...and did anyone else want to grab his shoulders so that he would stand still? He looked like me after I had my babies...always SWAYING..I think he was nervous. Such a beautiful guy!

Ohhhh, he's going to be so good at saying all the right things when he's the lead.    But in all seriousness, he doesn't seem like a huge SM user (doesn't post on twitter too often, didn't have an IG until the show started airing), so I'm not sure if that's the greatest gauge of his personality. All the guys from the show seem to really like him and have said what a great, classy guy he is, and Kaitlyn has mentioned quite a few times that he's funny and has a great sense of humour, so IMO he's got a bigger personality than what we've seen so far.

I agree. He does seem to be quite the mouthpiece for TPTB. But at least he'll be fun to look at!

Honestly, after the **** show that has been this season, I'd much rather a lead where the biggest knock on them is that they're "too nice" or "not dramatic enough" than someone who thrives on drama to give them an ego boost, like Kaitlyn, or who is just generally a bit of a douche (Chris, JPG, ect)

I agree. It'll be a nice change of pace from this season - one could even say it would be REFRESHING
