Tenley Molzahn Leopold & Taylor Leopold - Bachelor 13 - Discussion

Oh, trust me, I'm definitely not disagreeing that she's acting like a crazy, delusional stalker. I just didn't know that Ben even entertained the possibility of a relationship at some point.

IDK--I certainly don't categorize her as a crazy, delusional stalker either. JMOAA She simply needs to move on from the show.

Ben always knew he might be the bachelor, so IMO there was no maybe with Tenley but then he got offered the bachelor.

We saw the flirtatious remarks by Tenley, where is the proof of Ben flirting back?

I think she really tries to move on and put on a good show that she's not hurting, but IMO sometimes it's hard for her to follow her own advice.

I think Tenley would be better served to stop looking for dreams far beyond her reach and open her eyes to the real possibilities that exist right in front of her.  Maybe she could find a strong singles group at her church or at some other churches in the SD area.  The Bachelor franchise and another reality TV run are not the answer.  Nor is pining after a guy who is engaged to another woman.

^ She needs to expand the parameters of "her perfect guy list".

GA, from what I remember, there were rumors that they spent some time together in Denver. So I definitely don't think it was one-sided. I was actually pretty surprised when the rumors started that she decided NOT to go on the show again, and I'm guessing she somewhat regrets it now due to Becca/Amber. Not to mention she's pretty much his "type" if you look at the girls he did end up bringing to the F4.

That said, I was (temporarily) a Benley fan when the rumors started, so I would've like to see if it went anywhere between them. But ultimately I think she was smart not to go. She'll find someone -- but she should probably focus more on church and e-harmony and less on the franchise. She said she wouldn't date JJ or Josh because their values were too "different" -- but Ben aside how many upstanding Christian guys really sign up for reality TV?

I agree. Ben just isn't the type to periscope or blog a not-so-subtle announcement that he's crushing on Tenley, like she did, but that doesn't mean he didn't feel that way at some point. I do agree that Tenley seems exactly his type when you look at Olivia and Lauren and even Amanda. .

CMIIW but it was only a weekend she "hung out" with Ben and it wasn't just her and Ben, there was JJ and Ben Zorn there too. I never thought that Ben was interested in her as more than a friend at all. She just puts out the wrong type of vibe than I think he is looking for in a woman he would be romantically interested in imo. It's Ben, so I'm sure he was polite and if she mistook his politeness for interest that is a shame.

I think she should go on Christian Mingle or similar and lower her sights a bit to find a guy who adores her, not one that she has to chase in order to get.

ETA - I wonder if there will come a time when Ben will have to have a talk with Tenley to get her into reality and onto the same page.

You're exactly correct rhonda. It's in JJ's IG, if you can get through all the Tenley pics, there is one at a bar with Ben JJ BenZorn. I remember there was an outdoor charity event, during the day. Not sure if it was the same day as that pic.

She has gone to visit him more times than I thought.

Ben was with Tenley at some neighborhood party and I don't believe JJ was there. There was a pic of Tenley there and Ben also posted a pic that looked like the same location and someone commented on hers that it was fun hanging out with her & Ben (I looked it up to make sure I was remembering right). I do think there was a bit of a summer romance but ultimately it doesn't matter since he made his choice to do the Bachelor. Hopefully Tenley will see how happy he is and really move on.
