@Hawaii Girl thanks for the info, and to the reddit poster. yes

Now that RS tweeted they are bringing family and friends, they will probably bring the HTD's to them. We've seen friends on HTD's in the past so maybe those the the friends he's tweeting about.

snipped

What IG activity? His posts and number of his followers is the same. He lost followers but that's not unusual. IMO

Ben
29
Army Ranger Veteran
Venice, CA
Bachelor Biography

Ben is a sweet Midwestern boy with California dreamboat good looks. After graduating from the United States Military Academy at West Point and becoming an Army Ranger, Ben suffered a life-changing back injury that shifted his priorities in life and ultimately led to his decision not to return to active duty. After returning to civilian life, Ben made the decision to focus on his passion for health and nutrition, which lead him to sunny Venice Beach, where he currently lives. He loves his new job as a personal trainer, but says that the only thing missing from his life is someone to share it with! Ben is so ready to get married and is truly looking for the right woman to settle down with and start a family. Ben wants a wife who can openly communicate and stay emotionally available. She also must be able to keep up with him on the dance floor, or at least be willing to cheer him on when he jumps in the middle of a dance battle to show off some of his winning moves.

- When he's in a relationship, Ben loves to show affection through writing love letters.
- Ben's favorite indulgence is an ice bath.
- Ben once flew across the country to see a girl he had never met in person before.

From the bio to everything Chris Harrison said about him anyone else feeling like they are hyping Ben a lot for a future with the franchise. He even got the gimmick carnival game so he could kiss Clare the first night. I do believe he went far during Tayshia’s part of the season but the thing they are putting out there about him are things I kind of expect them to put up about someone they want as a future lead of the franchise. Jmo but just getting that vibe so far.

@smg2587 I think he possibly made it to hometowns, what ever that is this year. Nothing told me he was eliminated so I never put him on the eliminated list.

As per @Hawaii Girl 's post on the previous page, and an observation by a redit poster for me it's a possibility he is F6 at the very least.

He did post a pic on IG looking like he was on a date? but I suppose it could be anyone.

He’s my personal fave of Tayshia’s F4 (possibly because he’s the one that shows the most personality on SM) but I’m smitten. I’m sure in 6 months he’ll end up being annoying and obnoxious to me like everyone else that comes on this show, but for now, he’s my sweetheart :inlove

. Also this thirst trap is excellent

I know I’m late but I’m only now seeing this post. He posted stories from this night and he was out with a male friend of his.

Hilarious caption on the pizza pic, though.

@ReneeM thanks for the IG story details. He is a cutie and I love his background, 10 years in the military. Thanks Ben for your service.

Who's this I wonder and why is there a lighter on the book/album?

He's cute and seems likeable!

Ben is my favorite!

In the season preview when Tayshia says "I definitely feel like my husband is here" she's kissing Ben. When she says "I have to follow my heart" she's kissing Ben. I think Ben may get Tayshia's final rose. Especially since Jimmy Kimmel predicted Ben as F1

From the last episode ....

Ben says a grown a$$ man is "kind, humble, protects those that can't protect themselves" He doesn't want to get involved in the drama. He wants to focus on getting a rose and developing a relationship with Tayshia

During the rose ceremony when Tayshia says she's trying to identify someone who's "genuinely there for her" the next scene is her conversation with Ben

Tayshia says "I'm smitten with Ben" "He's super sensitive and sweet" "There's definitely chemistry" "It's a good feeling to be around Ben"
