this girl seems young/cute! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDNIHbzQJ8s

She is cute but VERY young 21!!! And she says she hasn't had much dating experience. My vote is no for Ben.

We only know they spent time together in Denver. If RS is to believed, I think he said they hooked up but the only people who really know what happened (or didn't) are Ben and Tenley.

Also, I hope he goes for someone completely different than the ex. She showed her true colors going to the tabloids.

I hope he goes for someone completely diff than his ex too but just playing devils advocate to the trend that Ben seems to like older women

Ben strikes me as someone who will choose his gal based on attraction, personality, looks and compatible lifestyles. I doubt age will be a factor. JMO

 I just hope he goes for someone mature and who knows herself. Even Becca who is Ben's age is too young for him IMO. It's not about age, it's maturity.

It really annoys me when RS states someone hooked up as it he was in the room with them and knows exactly what happened.

Tenley was in Denver, spent time with JJ and Ben as per IG's that we saw as would any contestant that just came off a season. It was obvious Tenley was crushing on Ben and it was all one sided. That's my opinion.

I can't see Ben with someone like Tenley at all. I like her, but not what I picture Ben with. She would never move, she isn't laid back, I can't see her living a country life IMHO

I agree about the maturity and just as some girls may be too immature for Ben others may be TOO mature. Case in point Tenley - to me she seems ready to get married like yesterday and pop out some kids tomorrow.

He never specified sex, so I think it was just a make out. IIRC, he used the word "hook up" for Jenna/Sean and Reid/Sarah, so for RS, hook up = make outs, I think. I can totally believe that. If Tenley is sharing her feelings for Ben with thousands of strangers on periscope, I can believe that she shared her make out/daily talks with many friends, who told other people, one of which eventually told RS. I just don't think Tenley would be this giddy if nothing physical had happened. JMO.

I hope he goes for somebody different too! I always think it's a much more interesting ending when the lead falls for someone they probably wouldn't have taken the opportunity to know IRL.

How do we know that Tenley isn't just putting things out there that she wished had happened? Knowing Ben I really don't see him "hooking up or making out" with Tenley. He's not the kind to do something like that when he had the possibility of The Bachelor on the table.

And I wonder what everyone will think if Ben comes away from this without a girlfriend? Or if he does propose then drops her?

Just curious since everyone thinks they know who or what type of girl would be best for him.

I don't know that Tenley would embellish but it really matter since he chose to be The Bachelor instead of pursuing her.

As far and Ben and Tenley's relationship, if there ever was one, it's none of my business what went on with them. If he hooked up with her, he wouldn't be the first or last lead to do so. It wouldn't make him a bad person if he did.

If Ben came out of this without a girlfriend, he'd be my favorite Bachelor ever. I respect a guy who doesn't do what people want him to do and isn't easily manipulated. Ben should do what's best for Ben. I don't need to see a proposal or have a "happy couple" at the end to enjoy a season.

If he proposes and then drops his F1, I won't hold it against him. These people say and do stupid things when they're in the bubble and although they may have thought they meant it at the time, it's different when you get out into the real world and actually get to know the person. Most of the time these "engagements" just don't work out and that's okay.

I just hope everyone has realistic expectations of Ben. When you put these leads on a pedestal or hope they don't let you down, you're bound to be disappointed. He's going to disappoint someone. The only expectation I have of him is for him to entertain me.
