Nick? Too soon?

Honestly though, the returnees being "boring" are what Ben was typecast and criticized by viewers for being boring.
After K's season, I will take boring.
Which is why I am not keen on Becca proving she isn't or anyone else being too "interesting".
I say yes to "boring".
Go on the show for love.
That would be refreshing to me!

Hahaha, watch as he picks a girl who will be the total opposite of ALL these things that you have listed. One who has never done these activities, and may not even really like them, but she'll tell him that she is "excited, and can't wait to do it for the first time with him!"

Does anyone remember her date with Chris where she went horseback riding and bottle shooting and how she aced it. She can rough it, no problem. Jmo

Who the hell f'ed up Ben's birthday on the internet? Literally every site is saying he's 27, so all these people truly believe he is 27. And I have to keep correcting them and give them proof that he's 26... Good gosh.

Which is why they NEED to have dates where they do this type of stuff. Jana Kramer said they should and Ben said he was down. So let's see...

OT - So that's how those Hollywood actresses get away with portraying their age as younger than they really are!!

Just like Sean picked the vegan and the only girl in his F4 without a strong religious past... Love changes people and it makes people see beyond type!

Yup, she's pretty athletic and outdoorsy. Exactly why I think she and Ben make a lot of sense on paper. Of course, paper and real life are two very different things but there's nothing that stands out to me as an insurmountable obstacle between the two.

If the two returnees come on tonight, do you think Becca will stay and make it fairly far and Amber will be sent home on the first night? Kind of to prove a point. That one made it and the other did not..?

I don't think Amber will necessarily be sent home first night unless he gets a long enough conversation with her to see her poor attitude. I'm surprised it isn't brought up more—it screamed through my tv at me on BiP!!

I'm pretty sure Ben watched BIP and he probably saw exactly how attractive Amber is..

Someone like Britt probably wouldn't be too much fun to hang with IRL, but she would make for GREAT tv. All the girls would be jealous and terrified of her, she would start calling Ben her "boyfriend" on the first night, etc.

Amber is definitely NOT normal to me. She's the ultimate combination of boring and annoying. And this will be 3 for 3 in terms of Bachelor shows she will have been on in just the past year - wouldn't call that normal in the least.

I just don't see Ben keeping both returnees the first night. Or all three, if there's another one. They want a dramatic effect. One stays, so the shot was worth it. The other goes, the shot wasn't worth it. It's all part of their scripted storyline.
