Don't think I will listen to him. I liked him when he was on Ashley's season, but then he seemed like a total jerk. IDK why but he just seems like the type who is afraid of commitment. 3.5 years with a girl, engaged for the 2nd time...35-36, still doesn't get married. Meh.

I did listen to the podcast
Duh Ben, Courtney wasn't working because of her edit IMO and also you were in it for free advertising for your business IMO not for 'love.' One of the worst bachelors, at least the ladies on your season were interesting

Me too. I remember being one of the few Ben fans on here and being so excited for his season. Oh man how wrong I was. Now I regret not being a JP fan during Ashley's season.

I didn't listen but as a former very avid fan, after Courtney and his season, I now think he is kinda douchy and condescending.

You should listen, Pav. I did and he seemed like the way he was before he was lead. He didn't seem to impressed by Courtney but I totally get that. I think he went through a bad spell on his show and after but then completely left it. He was dating someone nice for a few years but they recently broke up according to the podcast. He has a job with Yahoo and also an interest in a Fernet company. He had nice things to say about Nikki who was one of my favorites that season. RS was raving about Emily O'Brien who was another favorite. Ben seems like he doesn't think much about the show other than being friends with Lucas and Constantine and a couple of producers. He also said he and JP talk once in a while. RS told him that he was the last f2 where they didn't stop him from proposing completely. Overall I thought the interview was pretty interesting.

I don't know if I'll listen to Courtney's podcast after seeing one of the excerpts from her book which didn't impress me at all. She turned me off by talking about Ben and Ashley in the FS which I thought was jerky.

It appears like so many of our past male leads have not had luck in the lead very department after their seasons are done. Even the ones who have dated like Ben. It's sad.

blu, I remember there were just a handful of  us who liked him.   I supported him on his season til he said something about Kacie B on Jimmy Kimmel and then I thought this guy really is a jerk.  I like JP as Ashley's husband but he is still not my cup of tea.  I don't know who from Ashley's season I would like in hindsight.  Constantine is on twitter and always seems kind of boorish IMO.

bean, I think I will. I did like his voice LOL.

This was enough of Ben for me. Storm Horse...Cream Dream. Warning...explicit.

Yeah. Ben is an effing idiot. But in fairness that was a long time ago. Just as others did idiot things a long time ago too. But in fairness he might still be an idiot. JMOAA

Ditto! I was right there with you.
I did listen to the interview and I think Ben is a very intelligent guy. But Ben over JP??? What was I thinking??

IDK, this seems "almost" mild in comparison to BIP etc these days.

I read that Dylan Petitt's mom passed away on July 8th.

Poor guy, experienced many tragedies in his young life. Sending him strength through this.
