He doesn't sound like someone who should consider being lead again.

The business analyst explained that he’s avoided openly discussing his relationship status as a means to not “hurt” fans who had been emotionally invested in his relationship with Bushnell, 25, who he proposed to on the final episode of The Bachelor's season 20 in March 2016.

How has he avoided openly discussing when that's all it seems he's been doing. The statement about hurting the fans is just too much for me to even think about putting together an opinion on what I think about that. That's therapy worthy IMHO.

It's all probably a segue to his next gig, Bachelor 22.

Please TPTB do not let this happen. There are so many other contestants who are available and would love to be the next lead. Ask one of them JMO

Really nagging feeling that won't go away that he is #22.

Also, Ben, I was a big fan. Spare me. You aren't hurting my feelings when you talk about anything. How silly.

^ IMO, nothing he has said indicates that he wants The Bachelor gig again anyways..**edited**

I don't know why those articles are quoting him saying he doesn't want to hurt fans by talking about it, because he never said that in the podcast. As part of the podcast, him and Ashley respond to fan questions sent via email (their producers probably chose the questions). The question was basically when will he start dating again and that was his answer. The "people" in question..is Lauren IMO. Not fans. Articles misquote things and if you actually listen to the podcast then you'd have a better understanding of where he's coming from.

From the guy who was literally telling us two weeks before the breakup that he and Lauren were "better than ever" and "really getting to a place where they could really start wedding planning," just BS, BS, BS. I don't take anything he says seriously. He says he's not interested in being the Bachelor again? Lmao. Yeah, ok Ben. Whatever you say.

The article quotes him. If he didn't say Lauren was the people in question why is it ok to speculate that, but not take the quotes into consideration?

When I read an article, and it's quoted, then they are quoting what the person said. I don't see anywhere where he said the people in question is Lauren.

There has been a lot to speculate that he in fact is being considered, several formers have already mentioned he would be the next bachelor, Ali is just one of them. We have seen many times in the past when formers, especially Ali mention a potential lead, it's said for a reason.

The good thing about Ben becoming Bach 22 IF he should is this place could really focus on sleuthing 100% and forget fanning completely next season. Yeah. right.

I do not want Ben to be the next lead. He has had his chance and someone else should be given the opportunity. Why in the world would they even be considering him?

@Kashathediva He'd need a snark thread for sure.

I'd prefer pretty much anyone else, with the exception of a couple of Rachel's guys.  Given a choice between those few, I'm all in for Benji.
