I loved this article. Interesting facts
- Lauren says she gained 12 lbs on The Bachelor.
-Ben said he got to give input on what he was looking for in a girl
-They talked about their faith before they got engaged it just wasn't shown. He said he would not have chosen her if they didn't match up in their faith.
-Ben said what he got paid for The Bachelor was comparable to what he would have made during that time at his regular job? NOt sure if I believe that.

Afterbuzz is recapping the show. A very fair and reasonable recap IMO:

He's either the best paid software salesman, or the worst paid bachelor!

I heard he was lowballed for his stint as TB. Who knows?

Even if he was the worst payed Bachelor, I bet he still made 5 figures. I doubt he is telling the truth that he would have made at least 100K at his job.

IDK, wasn't it kind of rumored that they only gave Ashley H. and Kaitlyn like 50K? Ben probably makes somewhere between 60-80K/year for his job. So if they lowballed him, maybe he is right and he basically got 1 years salary.

He was only filming the Bachelor for what, 3 months tops? If he makes 50k in 3 months then he's one hell of a salesman.

66 yea exactly , IDK why Ben said that doesn't make sense . Maybe he meant the whole year?

He is probably counting all the time he had off work including time to promote show, interviews, etc. It was probably way more time off than we think. He doesn't strike me as a liar.

I think he meant from Kailtyn's season - end of his season airing.
