I don't know if what was portrayed was really how they felt.
JMOAA

Then more of what goes around comes around when their sis now becomes the willing puppet once more . Should be fun when snarking season starts . imo

Why be so grandiose in behavior when the ultimate goal was to get JoJo the same role that was being harshly questioned

Totally agree....Like I said, they're going to be hypocrites now that their sis is the Bette. Like her intentions are or will be pure ! By BP's condescending glares and looks, he was totally throwing shade at Ben Imo. classless is my opinion regarding Matt and BenP.

I watched Ready for Love. Ben Patton was the biggest phony on the show and came across very fake & self-centered, the complete opposite of Tim Lopez, IMO. Ben Patton led that girl on, got engaged and broke it off asap. Perhaps Ben Patton thought Ben Higgins was like him on the show. On the other hand, Tim Lopez (loved him) didn't get engaged at the end and just took it to real life with Jenna and they dated, got engaged and are now happily married.

They didn't break up right away. The finale was filmed in the beginning of August and they broke it off in May/June of the following year. That is straight from Angela's mouth in an interview. They were in hiding for a year, so to make it that long without being able to see each other in public is pretty impressive. It seems like they had safe house visits similar to this show, but not as frequent. Tim and Jenna both lived in the same city and were able to see each other more frequently. Ben and Angela did not. From the interview I read, Angela said she had nothing but great things to say about Ben and that he always respected her and her choice to save herself for marriage due to religious reasons. She also said she got engaged to him because that's how strong their connection was.

Thanks for clearing this up, Ash! I was wondering.

Ernesto was the questionable one, sleeping with Eva Longoria while pretending to be into his F1. Talk about not classy.

Absolutely, he was such a Dbag player, that was so very obvious. JMO, Tim was the only one who seemed sincere and there to find love, if possible, and he did. Again, JMO Ben Patton came across to ME as phony and self-centered watching the show, to each their own.

Dayuuuum I thought for a second Ben Patton was the new Bette....

Well, what is she going to say? She knows that she will be spouting the same drivel during her season.

Is this your opinion? Or a fact? Show your source. Please

I haven't paid much attention to Jo's pre-season sleuthing (I rarely do), but today I went to RS for the first time since Ben's season ended, and read his "insider tips" that so far it's been the JoJo and Jordan show. Shocked, SHOCKED, I say. I mean, who couldn't see that one coming a mile away? And I agree with Steve-O, should he be F1, I don't see this ending well for Jo, JMO. I hope I'm wrong. Whatever happens, this Bachelorette distraction better not affect Aaron's game next fall, that's all I gotta say about that one. (Huge Packer fan here!  )

How many guys are left, anyway? Sorry... So many threads. We must be very close to hometowns, right?

It may be an opinion, but after 20 Bachelor Seasons and 11 Bachelorette seasons, which I've watched them all, they all say the same scripted lines, especially at HTD's.

Her brothers are going to question if the guys are there for the right reasons, every family does. She'll be torn between them all. All leads are. MF already tweeted, JoJo is questioning if the guys are there for the right reason. I expect that to be a storyline, as usual.

Not sure all the guys are here for the right reason. JoJo is very smart. She'll make good decisions... #TheBachelorette

I still think Jojo's family was auditioning for a reality show for the family and not just for Jojo's Bachelorette. I have no desire to see them in her season other than maybe her mom & sister who we barely saw.
