Isn't he 27?

He just turned 26 in March. He told Kaitlyn this on one of their dates

Ben's 26. He was 25 when he started on Kaitlyn's season and had a birthday and turned 26 which he told Kaitlyn in Ep 9, I believe (Source).

Oh wow, thanks. He's a baby.

Perhaps TPTB want to subtly plant the seed he is "older" than he is.

She has seemed mad that she was portrayed as "boring" or "shy" , and like others here have said, like she tries really hard on snapchat to be "outgoing" and obnoxious. Even on here, if that was really her posting, she said "sorry I'm more outgoing and obnoxious in person" I think her edit this time will be completely different, and all about her trying to change everyone's boring opinion. Hopefully she realizes, that might not end well for her.

I definitely see her as one of the contestants that wants a career out of this for sure, doing appearances at iheart radio and photoshoots for different companies. She's also friends with quite a few actors and stuff. That's fine and everything, but don't think anyone wants to see Ben engaged to someone who wants to stay in La and pursue a hollywood career.

Ideally, she would like to live in the south when she gets married and raises a Family. You didn't hear this from me, but there's a decent chance she moves back to Louisiana in the next year or two.

Sorry, but I'm not really buying that. That may be what she tells people, but I don't see her actions corresponding to wanting so much to settle down and raising a family somewhere quiet. Down the line, perhaps, but as of now, she is seeking attention in her own way as much as Andi and Kaitlyn are. The sheer fact that she is doing this show over again after saying how the speed dating required didn't suit her personality, proves her at worst a liar or at best indecisive....and I don't care how much she likes Ben. She had already set up to meet Jared and changed her mind when discovered she is on the show and coming on here, is just the last straw. I am feeling as if she is trying to manipulate me and I never like that...no matter how nice a person she may be.

Becca followed her ex-football player brother-in-law & sister out to San Diego in 2008 when he signed with the Chargers, realizing a college education wasn't for her.  It's interesting that her dad Chris coached both her BIL Jacob and her "boyfriend" Dez Duron at Evangel Christian. Small world, huh? It's good that her former job at the hair salon was flexible enough to allow her to hang out with Dez when he appeared on the Voice for two seasons. :Nod: Just posting the facts here and trying to keep my opinions to myself.

Last fall, her flexible job as a chiropractor's assistant allowed her to appear on the Bach. Evidently Becca found out that modeling, appearing on reality tv and product promotion is more lucrative than either regular job.  :Nod: Just posting the facts here and trying to keep my opinions to myself.

We'll see if she negotiated a deal with TPTB to show her true "obnoxious and outgoing" self. Boy howdy, that will be fun to watch! When she does marry, maybe she will once again follow her BIL and sister and move back to Louisiana. Life will then have come full circle. :Nod:

This ENTIRE post is HILARIOUS. So true. So shady. But again, so true.

I don't see what's shady about it. Just a young woman living her life.

She seems to not have a career focus or ambition... Most of these contestants are in the clouds, living on love and fresh air. It's really pathetic

Not a lot of substance there. My opinion.

I think most Bachelor contestants and alumni don't have much substance. Most of them have never dealt with real issues and live a very privileged life where they can just worry about maintaining their bikini bodies and gaining IG followers. It's a fun guilty pleasure, but I don't think I could actually be friends with 95% of the people that go on.

My opinion is I don't have deep knowledge of 99%, if not more of the past cast, to determine their substance. (which is subjective--because I said above there was lack of substance does not therefore make.)
However, I would venture to say most go back to some type of family life or job or philanthropic purpose and do seek that out or desire that.  
I bet this forum could list hundreds, but that would be off topic in this thread.
