Padma July 15, 2015 Share July 15, 2015 So, does this make any sense at all? JJ and the crew member left the after-party in a club and were getting the worst of it until ... "...someone ran into the club to grab fellow contestant Ben Zorn. The hardbodied, badass jumped in and broke up the fight. JJ suffered 2 black eyes, and his suit got shredded, but witnesses tell us he fought the good fight, considering the numbers. JJ believes the attackers were a gang, according to our sources. . ...For some reason, neither JJ nor anyone on the production chose to call cops about the brawl. You know clubs have security, esp. TB would have their own security. But what did they do? Call Ben Z? And instead of calling the police himself, he flew outside (like Superman) and took on the 5 gang members (or whatever) himself, saving the day? And Ben Z is a "hardbodied badass"?

They put the couples through exercise designed to exploit their weaknesses and humiliate them on tv. The most recent episode I watched was awful, they gave the couples puppets and had them demonstrate their sexual positions. If Sean and Catherine really wanted HELP, They would go to a therapist , not sensationalize their problems for fame and glory and public humiliation.

Looks like your typical season and I was a little surprised by how much they showed. I figured it would just be mostly stuff from the first night but I saw stuff that definitely looked like group dates and one-on-one dates. I'm not sure about that sort of crew cut they gave Ben and yes, he still looks very young and a little boyish, especially when he smiles. However, as a person who has never really found any of the Bachelor leads attractive, while I'm not swooning for him or anything, I did think he looked really adorable. I'm sure someone somewhere has a You Tube video of the promo.
