There you go. It's all about the angle.

oh that's great!! K has a lot of guys in her corner wonder how that happened in such a short period of time would have thought Britt would be more of a contender than she seems to be...or tptb are messing with the votes which is the most likely scenario

Ben may not have done enough research to know Kaitlyn has a wild side. His friends have posted on this thread Ben is better suited for Britt.

His friend posted today and said that they thought he would've choose Kaitlyn based on what he said pre-show.

ICU wrote:Seeing this and then thinking back to things he said before hand I would say Kaitlyn got the rose.   And Ben does have a strong faith but he is not one who is pushy with it and he still knows how to have fun.  I think he helped as a youth leader one summer if I remember right but he really doesn't have minister training so to say.

I must have missed that I just remember these posts...

ICU wrote:...Ben and Becca would be a better match or even Ben and Britt then Ben and Kaitlyn I think.  His faith is something that is important to him.

ICU wrote:Honestly I think I could see him with Britt over Kaitlyn but hey who knows.  His faith is important to him and I just don't think what Kaitlyn said to Chris when she met him was very conducive to his faith.

Let's be real, he's the only person who knows what would make a good match for him.

Maybe we though because his faith is important he related better to Britt and maybe Ben himself would have voted for Britt but then met Kaitlyn and he changed his mind that night. Kaitlyn is pretty awesome after all..

I'm a fan of Kaitlyn and Ben. I just don't see them together at the end. Ben seems sweet like Marcus. Maybe he'll be on BIP

This whole scenario reminds me of the debate we had here when Catherine was the projected F1 for Sean. Many couldn't see it because we all knew faith was important for Sean and she seemed more of a free spirit. Same difference here with Ben and Kaitlyn. Just because they seem different, doesn't mean they can't be attracted to one another or make it work if they are motivated enough.

 I'm not seeing religion being a factor because it rarely is mentioned most seasons. In Sean's season it was a major theme -  I thought the cross hanging on the wall in Cat's house during her HTD was obviously a sign of faith. Not sure why it was questioned.  I wasn't in the forum that season.

In Kaitlyn's case, there was a Vine vid of her singing grace with her mom at dinner so obvs they practice.  My guess is that many of the guys come from faith-based families regardless of whether they make it known in SM or not so Ben may not be exceptional at all in that way.
It will only be a factor if TPTB make it a storyline.  Not sure why they would as Kaitlyn is the Bette and I don't see that as being one of the chapters in her story. 

How any guy's family may feel about her truth&dare butt, plow my field line, tight seal joke, size matters Jimmy scene, etc IMO is more about their view of sexually charged humor than about Sunday church attendance or worship wherever. 

In Britt's case, I could see religion perhaps playing a part in her story especially since Brady is a Christian music singer.

Great post! I think we can't just put Ben (or anyone) into one box "serious, Christian" and even if he is, Kaitlyn hasn't exhibited anything that concerning IMO.

He is so cute. He seems young to me only because my oldest is that age!!
OMG....I'm old!! :shocked!:

I can see him being a definite Bach contender, if he isn't F1.

Well surprise, surprise ... that he's handsome I could deduct from the pics around, but what strikes me is that he's another dark-tall-cutie (not my kind of type) that I find a true sweetheart (another Ben included). I hope he gets far (by that I mean far in the next season, since my hopes are for my boy), but if he turns out to be F1 I won't mind (stating before seeing).
