I hope he continues to follow his heart while using his head. This franchise seems to thrive on controversy and high drama. I hope he does not allow that to totally ruin him.
As for the girls, I have not gone looking for info. I don't want to know.
I did notice quite a few posts regarding Lauren being his possible final choice. My question on that is.... Isn't this the girl who loves living at the beach? Would she genuinely be willing to transplant from bikinis to mountain gear and the cold mountainous Colorado? Or is Ben being set up for heart break of being yet another unsuccessful bachelor.
I really liked Jubilee, but that may be because I'm a military Mom of a female soldier. From her mil training I think she can handle the cattiness of the other girls.
Lace is a train-wreck, funny and insecure, used to getting her own way. Pushy in-your-face-accusations is NOT the way to a man's heart.
Mandi is too far out there to fit into Ben's life or family.
Shushanna probably speaks excellent English and will spring it on the girls for dramatic effect.
Joelle was trying too hard, but more down to earth about it.
Caila....Does she know what her name means in Irish???? Her sense of humor is cute though.
Jami rubbed me the wrong way with name dropping Kaitlyn. Who is YIKES!!!!
I felt bad for Laura. Discrimination towards redheads hurts as much as saying someone is dumb because they are blond.
The twins.... well yes they are kind of cute. But going for the same guy is trouble. Sisterhood should come first, oh well.
I was away from the tv when Amanda arrived. For a second I thought Whitney was back. I did not even know Chris and Whit had broken up. That's how much I've not been paying attention.
I think Amber should go to Married at First Sight if she really does want a husband. She was one of my favs before, but I don't think she's right for Ben.
Becca.... Girl the farmer is back on the market, go there. That would stir up the attention factor. She just does not seem real to me.
Olivia....angling for her own show, decent to look at on camera but ambitious for career in the spotlight. IMHO
Jackie seems normal girl next door, pretty easily fitting into mid-west values.
Too many Laurens. Parent's without imaginations?
Rachel seemed pretty down to earth.
Samantha just passed the bar... wander what kind of law?? She came across as a scared little mouse. Hate to say that, so am hoping she finds her voice.
I wish Tiara would have stayed. She could have hen-pecked well.

I totally agree with all of the above! I was glad to see that Ben called little miss "I'm so nervous" out on her bullcrap act. The look on his face was priceless! It's good to know he's not going to take any b/s and that he's adept at spotting a phony.

IMO, I don't think that was fake. She was nervous about the reaction of the other women when she agreed to go back on, and that's only natural, right? She's not the type of person to fake emotions for the heck of it.

Granted, I am biased, but honestly (IMO), if y'all got to spend just 10 minutes with Becca y'all would see that she is a very beautiful (on the inside) and genuine person, and not someone who fakes emotions.
