Ben Higgins - Bachelor 20 - Discussion

Can I just say that Ben's looked really good since the announcement of the breakup. His skin is glowing, he doesn't look dead in the eyes anymore, and just all around like a weight's been lifted off his shoulders. JMOAA.

So Ben was at the Dodgers game with Rachel. Why is he suddenly everywhere just because of a podcast? Are we sure TPTB aren't grooming his azz to be the next bachelor as the safer option.....

I suspect he is in contention just in case the season's guys fizzle. The sad thing is IMO he is a huge FIZZLE.

Mario asked him if he'd go back on a Bachelor show and he said "no, that's very unlikely."
I think producers would be interested in Ben 2.0 but it seems Ben's not interested IMO

IMO, it's probably because he's still under contract with ABC and they need him to help promote Rachel's season. He has 1.5 million followers, she only has 507,000 after her premiere. That seems super low compared to previous Bachelorettes.

Totally side eyeing the fact that Lauren basically spent every third day in LA over the last few months with Ben no where in sight. Suddenly they break up, and he's all up in LA's business. Hey, humble/normal/not fame seeking Ben, it's Thursday, go back to work!

He may be more subtle than most, but this man is so entrenched in Bachelorland and the fame. It makes me laugh. If offered, I think he'd have a hard time turning it down.

@sosleepy I did not watch his full season and this time I would not watch it again. IMHO he is just boring to me and does nothing for me.

Unlikely but not impossible? He doesn't want to close the that door, I see. JMO.

^ He also basically gave the same answer when Mario asked if reconciliation with Lauren was possible. Never say never is his thing it seems.

Ben would jump at the chance to be the Bachelor again, IMO. If he's willing to do a podcast with Ashley I to stay in the limelight then the lead gig again I could see him wanting the lead gig again, IMO.

@AllAboutLove  I believe that too but we dont need a Ben 2.0.  I am sorry IMHO Would it not be too soon after his break up to do that again?

Am I the only one who thinks he's way too image conscious to be that guy? I'm not sure his reputation can survive another round and I think (or hope) he knows it.
