CH said that the group dates played a big role in the how Ben made decisions about the girls, perhaps after hanging out with her on the first GD he realized that she wasn't as interesting as he thought.

When and where did he say this..?

JMOAA: but I wish I could have a dollar every time I hear: "RS said..." Personally, I am so sick of hearing this and wish the guy was censored here. We could replace those initials with lazy, frumpy couch dude. 
There I frigging said it. And yes I do feel better.

There was a thread over at Fort, where his name or any info he posted, could not be mentioned, any one remember that?

I think Olivia is cute. I'm waiting before I form an opinion on her.

The lead doesn't have as much influence over 1:1 date choices. Plus F1 has gotten many late dates, Catherine epi 6, Nikki epi 5, Josh epi 5, I think Becca was actually the one Chris wanted and she was epi 6, Shawn was epi 4 or was it 5?

I think they leave the front runners to later dates to give others a chance and avoid the syndrome of Des and Brooks where she kind of got stuck on Brooks. Perhaps, Ben liked Olivia and Lauren but with extra time Lauren just won him over?

In defense of Olivia, if he questions her sincerity as a reporter, but not the wannabe country singer whose brother already stared on reality tv, I might get annoyed with him too.

UT has an excellent and highly competitive journalism program. The girl worked hard and took time away from that competitive environment to try for Ben. Having her motives and sincerity questioned was probably upsetting. JMO.

Ben is great and I think Lauren is a good match, but Ben not picking Olivia doesn't mean there was anything wrong with her. Unlike the other Texas girl advertising t-shirts that are borderline rude, this one wants to help a little girl who was severely burned and lost her family. I think I will let her show me who she is, not what the jealous turd says about her.

The jealous turd actually seems to really like her - I think he said she was his second favorite from reading the bios. Her bio was my personal favorite, by far, and she would have been my pick to win or become the next lead if I was unspoiled.

Thanks for letting me know. I won't give the jealous turd web hits, no advertising money for him from me. I figured the teen mom was something he came up with along with calling her socially awkward.

By the way, Amanda is 25, how old are her children? Was she perhaps a mom at 18 or 19, therefore a teen mom? Seriously, why is that an insult. She is very young to have two children. JMO.

She wasn't actually a teen mom - her oldest daughter is 3, so she was 22 when she had her. I think it was just a joke that didn't go over well at the time, but they both seem really friendly with each other on SM, so all's good!

I agree, she's very young. I'm 1 year older than her and I can't imagine having that responsibility.

I am chucking in a very kind, benevolent way. Thank you.

Awe Kasha, happy to help. I guess having spent the last five years in grad school, 25 seems young to have two kids.

Do we know if Olivia said teen mom or is this a turd's fact? If she did and Amanda is okay, they must have been joking. Heck 21 seems young now a days to get pregnant to me

Since I don't care what the turd says, it still doesn't change the fact that Olivia never got a SD. It's why I don't see her being a frontrunner no matter FIR. Whatever happened, if she was a true frontrunner, even TPTB would have given her a SD. It will be interesting to see why that is not the case from what Ben does.

Don't remember exactly how he phrased it, but it was posted here, somewhere, earlier this week. Something from an event ABC had for bloggers...
