The longer he leaves Courtney on the show, the less respect I have for his character. Any idiot with half a brain can see she's just in it to get him laid and then walk away laughing.

I seriously DID NOT find him that unattractive before Lana! But man, the more and more he turns out to be a total dud, the more I can't stand his stupid face!

Haha you're so funny! I dont think he's unattractive but he definitely can play up some of his features a tad better! (like maybe a comb for his damn hair!)

By the way, this confrontation with Casey is the weirdest thing ever!

Her "I think I might need therapy" line totally made me laugh out loud!

No amount of makeup & hairstyling can hide that hideous sneer.

Rachel- she pisses me off so much! And I don't think shes pretty...at all!!

Dude, if it weren't for Reality Steve, I wouldn't even be watching this season anymore! I swear, he is the only one capable of making this interesting to me now!

And for the record, I think the majority of those girls are WAY out of his league! In real life, he wouldn't have a chance with most of them! Lindzi? That chick is gorgeous, smart, funny, and chill. Emily? Brilliant, beautiful, funny, and a rapper! ;) Seriously - those girls wouldn't date Ben in real life in a million years.

I can barely even watch anymore. Reality Steve doesn't help ha! i've been ready for this chick to go for weeks

Though honestly, he is starting to annoy me so much I almost think he should pick her because the other girls don't deserve a total loser. They're cute and fun and I think he's gonna generic them the rest of their lives

or until they break up before the finale. you know how it goes ;-)

What the hell was creepy kiss training chick though? That was one of the most awkward interactions I've seen in a while... for real. "First we're going to kiss with our mouths closed. Then we're going to explore."

When he said "Yeah... that's kind of how kissing usually goes." I just about died.

Then when he said "I can't fucking handle this right now", it was pretty much the first time I've actually liked him in weeks.

 Agreed. First season the lead has ever annoyed me so much. Ever. And I really didn't like Jake at all... I still found him WAY more interesting than Ben!

Can't stand Ben! This is the first season in years that the lead person annoyed me into not watching. He's so awkward. And lame. And sorry ladies, I never thought he was cute.

”

 Oh yeah! It was full on sarcasm and personality! I was like "Where is THIS guy every week?!?" It was all he could do to not full on make fun of her, and I seriously just kept wishing he would!

I think that's part of the problem. My guess is that Ben is a pretty goofy/sarcastic guy in real life, but that for the purpose of this show - he's trying to play off this serious and introspective personality. It's just not working, and it's coming off as really really fake. And boring. I just don't think he's being himself at all.

Or at least, I hope that's the case. Because if he is really that emotionless most of the time - holy crap, I feel sorry for anyone who actually ends up with him!

Rhi said ...
LOL i totally missed him saying that, I couldn't pay attention because the awkward was TOO MUCH!!!

”

 Oh dude, I read all the spoilers before the season even begins. I'm telling you - RS is the only reason I even still watch that show at all anymore! Seeing his spoilers come true pretty much makes the whole thing that much more enjoyable for me!

Rhi said ...
haha did you see who he picks? or do you not read that far ahead?

I hate not knowing the ending. suspense makes me squirm.
