Episode 8 #4: Ben from Perfect Sonoma

Ah, finally! The hometown date Ashley has been picturing since he stepped out of the limo with that bottle and set of glasses. So maybe the weather is a smidge cool for walking barefoot between the vines, but that picture is getting clearer ALL the time.

AND his family is from the Italian/Slovenian border?!? Bonus points from me.

But something's wrong with this picture: Ben's "very protective" sister is the one who signed him up for an inevitable romantic disaster? Love the darling cozy-chic house, but something must be very wrong inside. And things seem kinda stiff, but could that possibly be a family feeling awkward with a camera crew invading their home and leering over everything they say? Nah!

  1. I think all of Ben's feelings come from Ashley being the first relationship since his dad died. Most of his visit was about his dad and Ben's ability to have a relationship-not a relationship WITH Ashley-just a relationship in general. Not good.

  2. What's with ALL the dead daddy issues? Makes me nervous to see how easily some of these guys dads (and stepdads) seem to die off.

  3. My money is on Ben. There is nothing like an emotionally distance man to make a woman swoon.

  4. And of course Ashley wants the most inaccessible candidate offered (see Bentley) to validate her intense insecurity. "See? Nobody wants me! I was RIGHT!"

  5. BORING! Again!

    But I really loved Ben's parents. So cute. She would be a cute grandma.

    Ben's sister for next Bachlorette!
