@tgikoli Are you not a fan of Ben, or did his Mom and sister scare you off a little? A large body of opinion thinks Mom and sister played a key factor in Ashley's decision (perhaps, she was into JP all along, and this just sealed it for good).
I read recently that Ben Flajnik will be the next Bachelor. I couldn't watch Ben every week - yawn, yawn. Of course, this was the first season I have ever watched and missed a lot of the episodes at the beginning. It wasn't until my Mom told me how much she loved JP that I started watching.
@luvnghagain100 Better get Ben a cast of women who are mostly like Shawntel N, Britt, and Lisa M, because those are the only types of women who'll pass Ben's Mom and sister's bar!
Ben's mom and sister are ice princesses and weren't sincere in their welcome to Ashley. Of course, she chose JP after the wonderful reception she received from his family.
@ALRS1993 Ben said one too many times that if his mom and sister didn't like Ashley, or any girl, it was over. Yeah it was nice that they liked her but his comments about it being effortless just said it all. No relationship is always going to be effortless. He never had to make any effort and didn't seem prepared to. I do think Ashley made the right choice. She may have been good for Ben but I think Ashley and JP are good for each other.
@stevefrancis@octobersstm Which sounds nicer: A Slovenian-American Bachelor in 2012, or a handsome Slovenian-American with a pretty Irish-American girl from Chico?
I lost my Dad in 2003, and can relate with how much that can take out of you. Like Ben, I was very close to my Dad and had a great relationship. He and my Mom also had a great marriage, and I'm also closer than ever to my Mom too.
I think Ben definitely came out the best from his father's passing. His mom and sister seemed to have shut down their ability to be open and willing to care about anyone else. Whereas Ben is a very loving man who wants his relationship to model his parents'. I suppose he is the only man left and they don't want to lose him as well if he moves away and such, but still, what makes Ben happy should make them happy too.
@AnnAnn240 I'm just guessing, but all of these Dislikes on Ashley Bachette videos, I think relfects viewers' dislike for ASHLEY, than the videos themselves.
@M377777 what is wrong with that. His dad dyed and he fills that he is man in the house now and he runs the family business. as he said is not much left of the family. No women or men is worth it to give up your family for. u can always find another person but not another family.
Oh geez, how old is he still stuck up with his mom and sister? The man needs to move on and man up little bit. His sister too controlling on him. Bet shes never married.
Ben is a peach, and who wouldn't love the lifestyle of the vine? But his mom and sister seem very cold, (and a bit snobbish) it would be difficult to fit in with them I think.
I feel Ben has really become a more mature, honest, sexy man. He has really opened up and with that mixed feelings between his dad&ashley, he's like a really real, honest man. That always mean a lot when a person treats family as a priority and at the same time be that real, caring guy. But with this new emotional Ben, I hope he will be okay at the end(telling himself that he's already given himself out there) kinda like JP's approach if he's not the one for Ashley. I wish him all the best.
What's with the dislikes?

Ben is so different here, rather than when he's the bachelor. He seems so nice here, but on the bachelor he's pretty mean and dumb!

tho she's not feeling for him as much as for JP, she seems to behave most around him
it's the kind of show, someone speaks their train of thought and makes it easier for others to do it, infectuous. perhaps too much = ) (it's me)
i love the healing part of this sharing_stuff-show
nice & tough.
closer to himself - i blieve. best wishes, ben
