Yes, it was. I have been following the show since inception.
I was amazed at how often that username went, IMO ,way overboard and what the motherboard would do to reign the users in line. It was a circus. IMO very little of real sleuthing value came from there. That is how I found FORT.

Now that I think of it, I think it was feces hurling monkey - same difference  Same here, since day 1.

He was banned many times from the ABC Board and always came back with another incarnation of the original name, "Too Funny" is also another one who took things way too far.  BTW if anyone remembers Appa from the ABC Board, he passed away earlier this year.  I was friends with him on Facebook.

Otherwise, except when they kiss multiple people at the same cocktail party or on the same group date, I don't care. That is what they are there to do.

Stuck if I remember correctly Jason also used to kiss 'em when he couldn't find anything to say.

As long as he does not kiss FecesHurlingMonkey, he is good in my book.

Thanks for letting me know. Since I disliked Jason immensely, I skipped his season until FS and finale. So I thankfully missed the majority of his kissing.

Me too.  To be honest I hope the Bachelor has chemistry with a bunch of the women and knows how to put on the moves.  Makes the show more fun and he's not by boyfriend so it doesn't bother me how many he kisses. 

I only get turned off when there are too many make outs with people who are clearly matter of time and have little to no connection with the lead.   Then it gets noticeably gross.  Otherwise, if there's some interest and attraction there, kiss away, IMO.

RS has spoilers up for the first episode.

- Lauren B, Caila, Jubilee, Mandi, The Twins, Amanda, Tiara and Samantha got intro videos
- Lauren B is the first to get out of the limo (or shown getting out first and got the first intro video)
- Based on just the first episode alone, Ben seemed most into Lauren Bushnell, Olivia, Jennifer, and Lace.

Well that sounds promising!

I'm not surprised by that and am glad Ben won't be overdoing the physical/kissing. I think a lot of leads, female included, kiss when they don't know what to say. I don't like when they're kissing someone who is for sure going home soon so hopefully we won't see much of that this season.

I can't wait to see Lace. I am laughing just reading about her in RS' recap.

According to RS, he did say to kiss them all but he was being sarcastic. Although, apparently, Ben did take that advice.

I'm confused though. RS () and apparently Olivia said Ben was kissing too much. But in the E! article he said he didn't kiss much... Or did he just mean he didn't kiss much at first? Or is Olivia's version of "kissing too much" different?

I think they just meant that first episode, b/c of that speech he makes to Lace about not wanting to focus on the physical and just kissing. E! would only have seen the first episode,  so it makes sense they would say that, whereas RS knows more about the whole season.
