Serendipity11, awesome you got to be there! Was the scene really too crazy for them to spend any quality time together?

It was far too frenetic for any real 1:1 time. It shows tptb really do do some type of planning of who goes on what date.
So perhaps this was a 1:1 date and they had 3 1:1's this episode and a group date for 3 women? (Becca, Emily and Caila)

Hey everyone.  I was there last night and can tell you that it was a group date that turned into a 1 on 1.  Hope that helps

t4p.

Do you know where the GD portion was and what they did ?

It was insane. There were a ton of people there, line to get in several blocks long. Phones/cameras out like crazy. It's exactly like the videos/photos show.

I heard a few people say that it was in Fort Wayne, a city about an hour away. Not sure what they did there though.

Nice. Thanks for sharing.

I love Ben, but did he make a crude gesture with his tongue about 2 seconds into this video. The girl it went towards reacted, so she saw it too. What exactly does that gesture mean?

Does anyone remember what, if anything Ben had to say about Joe when he was getting blasted over Juelia? They were on After BIP the same night. After he saw what happened to Joe, I would think he would steer way clear of putting himself in the same situation. I also don't see ABC picking a single mom with 2 kids for the next 'ette, which leads me to wonder if she could be his F1.

I feel for both Ben and Amanda. I hope they did get some more private time.

I agree. It's hard to read with everything that was going on. I wonder if she met his parents since they were there. If so, that ups the importance of her getting that particular date imo. It's like the date Jade got to the football game. I'm not sure she wasn't higher up on Chris' list before she showed him the pictures on the internet. Lauren's date has been compared to Whitney's mural date, but I still think Whitney was a default pick as his other options fell by the wayside, so did TPTB expect Whitney to be F1 while they were filming the mural date or did they think they were hiding the real F1?

Wow! So much fun for you, Serendipity! Yay!! :dancing peg:

Crude gesture? Ben always has his tongue out like that. I noticed it a lot during Kaitlyn's season. It's nothing.

I think the girl was just reacting to seeing Ben up close. There are crude gestures that people do with their tongue, but Ben just does it a lot when smiling or when he's nervous.

Ok, that's good. I never noticed him doing it before.

Good luck casting that season!

^^That's why I don't think we should discount Amanda as F1. If she's not F1 and imo she won't be the next 'ette because ^^casting, it seems like Ben would send her home to her kids.

But they did it for Emily, so it could happen. Dating I'm sure is really rough for her. At least maybe they could get some older guys if she ends up the lead. I think her friends are rooting for that.
