Ben Higgins - Bachelor 20 - Discussion

I still don't think we can rule him out for Bach 22. Seriously.

This is sooooo awful IMO: https://twitter.com/iheartradio/status/867462807171846145

he has his wicker chair, he's a-okay

I don't even want to think about it... let alone talk about it IMO. That would still be considered too soon and too fresh, so he would come off looking like an azz IMO. Maybe a few years down the line if he's still single, a la Brad 2.0 though. However, I think there's bound to be some good candidates from the current lineup of bachelorette men IMO.

That's the part that worries me though. I remain unconvinced there is a stellar candidate. Hopefully someone sticks out.

As for Ben and that furniture thing, I haven't been paying attention, but that's really him and what he said about it? Omg. I can't believe I wasted so much time caring about this doofus. Fanning is dangerous.

If they could cast nim rods like Ben F and Juan Pablo, then surely they can cast someone from Rachel's season IMO.

And yeah, that's what he said. It seems like it was a skit, or at least turned into one, for their iheartradio promo. That cartoon..? Mean spirited and uncalled for IMO.

Hey, I have to defend JPG. He had a lot of integrity. I bet if someone asked Nikki now, she is greatful her only proposal was from the husband she married and is crazy about.

Also it is only night one and I am unspoiled, but I see potential in many of Rachel's men over boring Ben. I won't start panicking about that right now.

As for the furniture discussion, I honestly hear Ben attempting to be funny talking about bonding with his house. Ben is so boring the funny falls flat, but I didn't hear any of that as a dig on Lauren. JMO.

I really don't mind about the whole Ben and Lauren break up since I was neutral on them as a couple so whether they stayed together or not I didn't see it as a positive or negative either way. Because of that my opinion about Ben is based just on him and not about blame for the end of the relationship (it is what it is, is my take on the break up). So when looking just at Ben, for me, steadily over time my opinion of Ben has lowered and lowered. Not to say I think he's some terrible person but I just don't care for him anymore. Imo, I think he's immature and has a lot of growing up to do, is overly image conscious to the point that I think more than not he is not very authentic, and ultimately just not someone I would want anyone I know to be in a relationship with.

Re: JPG - I also defend him in so much as he had a freaking entertaining season. Like I loved it. More of that please. But as for a man with integrity and character? He lost me with the sl*t shaming of Clare and his bigoted comments towards gay people. JMO.

Yes, it's early. Hopefully there is a standout amongst Rachel's men. Hopefully. I def see Ben as backup though. Producers love him. And amongst my real life watching Bachelor fan friends, the second he and Lauren broke up they all said they want him to get another shot. He's still really loved by the masses.

Ben said on Ryan seacrrest that he is not ready to start dating again. I definitely don't think he would be the bachelor again.

Yeah, let's just turn your broken engagement into a joke. No wonder Lauren unfollowed him.

JMO.

Please don't discuss Rachel's season in any threads other than those titled Spoilers for Rachel. TY
