Um, O-kaaaay.. . ! May be his type though, who the hell knows what his "type" is... . . I think for some of the girls, he may not actually be their type.. Some of my faves, like Jojo, I don't think Ben is quite "manly" enough for her, or Jubilee either. Ben's still pretty young & inexperienced.. Sure, that's cute n all on the surface, but... sometimes you just need a man with some real deal life experience.

I don't know, just because he's polite and respectful doesn't mean he's not manly enough or have enough real life experience. I've noticed whenever one of the girls has an issue and is upset he addresses it when he finds out about it, like when Jubilee was upset. Ben can take care of himself in a mature way. He reminds me of myself at that age, and it bugged me when people thought someone acting in a humble, mature, polite, and respectful way was a sign of weakness. Couldn't be further from the truth. He was just raised to have good values by his parents.

As for Caila, I agree she is sweet and I found it funny and even odd when she said she left her boyfriend after seeing Ben on the Bachelor. She reminds me of a high school or college cheerleader. She'll be around for awhile, and I'm sure be a favorite for the Bachelorette if Ben selects someone else.

Still waiting for someone to get a black eye, as we saw in the preview for the season. Hope they don't pull the same thing they did a couple years ago on the Bachelorette when they showed a preview for the following week supposedly of two guys getting into a fistfight, and the next week never showing the fight.

I totally get what you're saying. "Manly" was probably not the right word exactly for what I was trying to express.. More so having a balance between masculine/feminine energy within oneself as well as a partner who is complimentary... Ben is the nice guy, and what he is doing for these women ~ the way he handles them ~ is pretty outstanding, I must say. He sets a great example. (for as real or fake as tv can be) . . . . . And yes, I'm waiting on that black eye too!! Lol

I think it was in the previews for last week's episode, so it doesn't look like we're going to see what happens. Not surprising though, they do that a few times each season.

They don't seem too interested in showing injuries this season. One of the twins broke her thumb during the soccer date, but that was never shown. However, they did talk about it a few times during the after show.

So long Jubilee!

She could have handled her issues better but I understood exactly what she was going through.

She shouldn't have gone on the show. You have to be extremely secure to go through this. I felt horrible for her when she said she was the most unlovable person.

Ben is great with words and really making women feel comfortable! Very impressed the way he handled the mother of two.

Yes, I agree on both comments.

Aw, wasn't expecting Jubilee to leave quite that suddenly.. Glad the girls finally address the Olivia nonsense, but I hate these cliff-hangers! From the previews, I'm guessing she'll be around for a while.. I think maybe Leah & Jennifer (? Is that her name?! ) will be the next to go... Or maybe even the twin. Those 3 seem to be straggling.. ~ Kinda bummed the Live after-show won't be on anymore. All the smack talking was the best part of the night, hahah

I didn't, she's said that before. And I think someone else did. It's totally insincere, like they're just copying the words that Ben said about himself on the last Bachelorette.

I almost turned it off again last night. It's gotten to the point that my eyes roll almost 24/7 the whole time I'm watching.

Another thing they always say: "You make me feel so comfortable.", "He puts me at east right away". Oh shut up. And ever notice either on their one on ones, group dates or the small moments of "conversation" during cocktail hour, there is NEVER anything substantial or even interesting things about themselves that they talk about? He's not getting to know them at all & vice versa because every. single. conversation is about A. how nervous they are B. I want you to know how committed I am C. My bad last relationship D. My past relationship E. I'm falling for you. That's it. You could tape record those words & play them during each of those scenarios & those are basically the only words that come out of both of their mouths. Nothing about themselves. Nothing about their views or morals. Nothing about what they like to do in their spare time, their hobbies, movies, music. NOTHING. What a bunch of baloney. How can you have feelings for someone when you know literally nothing about them? Not even their favorite band, because you never ever ever talk about anything like that? Give me a break.

What "Olivia nonsense?" Olivia is not there to be BFF with the other girls- she is there to get Ben. Instead of worrying about Olivia (and it's clearly just jealousy), they need to be focused on strengthening their own connections with Ben.
