I really like Ben - he's not conventionally good looking, but he's a normal guy - smart and funny. I'd date him in a flash, he's just my type! Most of the other batchelors have been really smarmy.

From what he's been saying in articles and talk shows, I doubt if he ends up proposing to anyone. I do think he's doing this for fun - and for publicity for his winery.

Do you think that he caught it tonight when the model with weird legs used the term "Whats her butt" to refer to Shawntel, and yelled "See ya!" at her? If he caught on to her childish behavior that would be great - she's irritating to watch, although I'm sure he thinks she's attractive.

I don't understand why the one woman fainted tonight - why is it so stressful not to be picked by a guy you hardly know???

I think you may be right. And while it may be fun right now, to have sexy models attracted to him - I hope he's smart enough to realize it's only because he's currently the star of a TV show. But once the show ends? Will a model still be attracted to him?

Funnily enough, I think Shawntel may have been the right type for him. Definitely a quirky, non-model, non-Hollywood type...

I think Shanntel coming on the show was ridiculous. I don't think she will be the next Bachelorette for sure. What bugged me about her on Brad's season is she doesn't make eye contact. She actually does seem more his type than any of them. I wish he would of kept her so Courtney would of left....she is very annoying and she seems to think she is better than everyone. I still like Kacie and Lindsie is becoming one of my favorites also. I also don't think Ben is that attractive and talking about San Francisco is his city and he knows it in and out and then Sonoma is his city too...come on. I just think I am tireing of him.

Yeah, but Sonoma and San Francisco are less than an hour apart - and while very different places, I can see why he would claim both, as his own. I grew up in Northern San Diego County, about an hour outside of downtown San Diego, but went to college and spent the next ten years downtown - so I do the exact same thing - claim both my places as my hometown.

I think the show has made a LOT over him being from both places - probably too much! But I don't blame him for claiming both places!

I think the model is ugly. I guess she has good bone structure, but, her mouth looks really weird when she talks.

BTW, Reality Steve has already said who Ben picks.................

That was bizarre. I'm sure that woman woke up the next morning after a good nights sleep and realized she was acting like a buffoon.

However the whole situation is manipulated. They keep these women cooped up 24 hours a day, with no phone, internet, tv, radio and then stick a camera in their face all day and mic them all day. Then you factor in that they purposefully pick drama queens and social climbers and it's a pressure cooker that ends up blowing off steam.

They've got the whole formula down and all that has been admitted openly by the producer.

Wasn't that the most infantile thing you've heard in a long time? I don't think I've heard anyone ask 'What's her butt' since some time in middle school.

I sure hope he doesn't pick her.

I couldn't believe she said "what's her butt" how ridiculous, they are supposed to be grown women, they aren't in elementary school.

I have heard that the filming of the rose ceremonies lasts for hours despite only a few minutes making the final airing, anyone could become faint after standing there for a very long time while wearing heels and probably spanx. I'm sure the stress of so many other women being picked didn't help, but it could have been just a physical thing.

Could Courtney the model be smoking some wacky tobaccy off camera? Not only is her behavior odd but her eyes seem to be permanently bloodshot. It's not an attractive look.
