Американский Холостяк #20 Ben Higgins

barish

My frontrunners this week are…

1. Lauren B., 25: These two! They can’t get enough of each other. On the cooking group date, Ben took her outside the designated “cocktail party” zone for a stroll because he remembered she’d said she wanted to see the city. He told her he hadn’t wanted his date with her to ever end, “a very uncommon feeling” for him. Their chemistry is through the roof and they made out all over Mexico City. Lauren B. is the steady frontrunner.

2. JoJo, 24: Jojo is an old soul and I think she and Ben share the ability to just “be” with each other. While it was an aggressive move for Jojo to steal him away right after he’d sent Jubilee packing, you know she did it because she cared about his well-being, not because she was looking for brownie points or extra time. She sees him for who he is as a person—his demeanour, his moods—and I think Ben recognizes that and is thus very relaxed with her. Jojo isn’t going anywhere.

3. Amanda, 25: There really isn’t anything to not like about Amanda. She’s gorgeous, mature, and gracious. The fact that she’s clearly close with girls in the house doesn’t go unnoticed, either. (Notice how her one-on-one dress was the one Leah wore to last week’s Rose Ceremony? Or how she and Lauren B. have worn each other’s dresses a few times now? You don’t lend or borrow dresses from girls you don’t get along with.) My favourite thing about Amanda is how non-dramatic she is. The way she divulged the story of her ex-husband was so honest yet matter-of-fact. She didn’t get caught up in her own sob story, but didn’t belittle her hardships either. My only concern is I don’t see a ton of chemistry between her and Ben. I feel like they get along well because they’re both super nice, super good-looking people who happen to be in the same place at the same time. Their rapport beyond that doesn’t strike me as unique. Nonetheless, I’m such a fan of this girl and expect her to stay for awhile.

4. Becca, 26: Becca received almost no airtime this week but I’m keeping her in my Top 4 based on her one-on-one last week. She and Ben connected in a way we haven’t seen between him and any other lady here and I can’t picture him eliminating her anytime soon, nor can I picture her leaving on her own accord. (She is much more invested than we’ve ever seen her.) Besides, flying under the radar is Dark Horse 101.

“Episode 2006”
THE BAHAMAS SERVE AS THE NEXT ROMANTIC BACKDROP FOR BEN’S PURSUIT OF HIS SOULMATE, ON ABC’S “THE BACHELOR

Two Totally Different Bachelorettes Face Off in the Much Anticipated Two-on-One Date
– The tension is palpable as Ben faces off with Olivia about her bad behavior. The other women are relieved, but will Ben give her a rose or send her home? After the rose ceremony, the remaining women are off to the tropical, romantic Bahamas.
The remaining women pack their swimsuits and head to the Bahamas. One lucky lady, who receives a one-on-one date to go deep sea fishing, may be smiling on the outside, but she is fearful of sharing her real feelings with Ben. Will her hesitation cost her a rose?

Six excited bachelorettes travel to a deserted island to spend the day with Ben.

If only the island’s swimming pigs didn’t suddenly show up to join in the fun.
As Ben’s connection with some women becomes stronger, one bachelorette becomes very jealous and starts to question whether her relationship with the handsome Bachelor is for real.

At that night’s after party one nervous lady attempts to get Ben’s attention at the expense of one of the frontrunner’s reputation. How will Ben receive that surprising news?

After the group date, one woman decides to sneak over to Ben’s bachelor pad for some secret one-on-one time. But Ben has a surprise of his own that will leave this lady and everyone else totally stunned.

Finally, the dreaded two-on-one date card arrives and one overly confident woman is pitted against a sweet, naïve bachelorette. The two head off with Ben to a rain-swept tropical island. Who will stay and who will leave the island with the Bachelor?


Even though Ben faces some difficult decisions, he cancels the cocktail party, leaving the women anxious and unsure of their connections with him.
In the end, six women remain, who will accompany Ben to his hometown of Warsaw, IN.

Шарлин понравилась Оливия в 1 выпуске, ей очень нравится ее внешность, она бы с ней ей махнулась, чего бы я делать не стала. Шарлин очаровательна и мила, Оливия меня впечатлила умением держаться сначала, но потом все это в ней совершенно пропало. Я вижу неумную 23-х летную девицу, задаваку, позершу. Мне она совершенно не нравится, а Шарлин продолжает ее защищать, ссылаясь на то, что на Оливию влияют. Ну все равно это показывает ее как незрелую, молодую и зеленую. Бена привлекало то, что их отношения для нее были приоритетом, теперь он увидел, что Оливия слишком агрессивна с девушками. Монтаж не может показать того, чего нет в человеке, а тут просто слишком много Оливии в шоу, все вокруг нее и мне это уже надоело, не дождусь когда ее уже отправят домой!
Шарлин так же в свое время защищала Бритт. Я поговорила с Бритт, да, она слишком мягкий человек и возможно на нее влияли. Но, Бритт никогда не делала того, что делает Оливия! Карли на нее наезжала, но в ВIP я увидела, что Карли может быть агрессивна.
Оливия мне все равно не нравится, как бы она нe нравилась Шарлин и как бы та ее не защищала! :meeting:

Cheerio

мне кажется не было там ничего особенного между ними, и она наоборот задержалась. Индивидуальное свидание было откровенно слабеньким, симпатия Бена мне кажется больше основывалась на жалости, она не его типаж. Его типаж, по её же словам, это принцессы (в хорошем смысле). И чрезмерное расстройство Бена от ухода Джубили мне показалось плохой игрой. Потому он кстати и не дал ДжоДжо розу на том свидании за её утешительную роль, потому как не было что утешать.
