I like Ben, but I don't want to see him as The Bachelor again.

NO, NO, & NO. Ben is corny! TPTB need to stop trying to make Ben happen.

Also he's dumb when it comes to knowing what's going on imo. He shouldn't do it again when he makes decisions like so (imo):

Contestant: I only asked my papa for a rose from his garden to feed my gentle, grateful soul
Benji-O: Sounds legit, marry me??!

Yeah, let's not do it again, please.

I've always thought Ben was overly image conscious... but now I think he's totally fake.

I don't think he is fake. He's not perfect though. He has his faults like the rest of us. I hope he doesn't do the bachelor again either. i don't think it is going to lead to love for him.

I respectfully disagree. I don't get that impression. People who actually know him or have even met him one time have said how sweet and how much of a good person he is. IMO, his niceness doesn't come across as fakeness to me.
I really, really like Ben. It would sting a bit to see him go through it twice. It was special and real the first time for him. I don't think he'd be interested in going through that experience again. Looking forward to the podcast and his insight.

I don't look forward to the podcast at all. He's just gonna BS and throw inspirational one liners. " It was and will always be a great experience that led me to Lauren." I'm sure he's a nice person, I don't question that. I just think he's full of sh*t at times and doesn't own up to his mistakes. It's always been about what Ben wants and his needs. jmo

If offered, I don't think he would accept. And I really like him too...IMO, he has been the most genuine bachelor...the girl he ends up with will be incredibly lucky.

I emailed Ben an encouraging email the other day. Today he responded back saying he appreciated my positive email on a hard day. My email also included nice things about Lauren. You know what he said? He said he has nothing but love and respect for Lauren and sadly the rumors were true. He didn't need to read my email. He didn't need to respond back. He didn't need to include the part about Lauren when I'm the only one he's writing to. But he did. Genuine guy.

Aw that's sweet.

What rumors are true?

^ I'd said I hoped the rumors about them breaking up weren't true.

^^ Gotcha thanks! That was nice of him to respond to you. I do feel for him. None of this can be fun.
