I disagree that she's gorgeous or sweet, but I don't think Becca was any prize either. IMO, he's too good for both of them. He dodged a bullet with Becca and IMO he will have a dodged a bullet with Kristina when he comes to his senses and breaks off whatever is going on between them.

If Kristina and Blake are daying (please no ), I honestly dont think it will last long unless Blake decides to move to LA, which I dont think he will since he just started working back at his job.

Well it's not surprising now that Blake starting to extend his 15 mins. of fame doing some BN related things and joining others.

A short interview w/ Blake where he talks about BIP & what he likes in a woman:

Denver Post did article on his joining Bumble:

Some great videos of him dancing Fri at Cube:

That account posted some others....

This tweet cracked me up about the J and B pic in Toronto:

That pic of them both is just precious!!! One person on IG commented: “Congrats to both your dentists!” LOL. They really do both have amazing smiles.

He seemed to have a great time, and all the fans seemed to feel like Blake and the others at event were really friendly and enjoying interacting w/ fans.

I don’t think it’s a bad thing to do some ads that fit the person. I don’t see Blake quitting his job, moving to LA, and shilling products as a new career. However, I am sure he will do some ads. He has done mostly charity events so far, and so love that. I definitely think he and Kristina are at least casualty dating, but I don’t think it will go long-term. Looking forward to iHeart too! Those are always fun!

I guess I don't see Blake as any better or worse than any other bn contestant immediately following their season. I feel we don't have enough time lapse yet to see if he is going to become a shillmeister / wannabe fameho / bachnation hanger-on OR if he's going to be a regular guy who will live his own life just enjoying some of the benefits of his 15 minutes. Time will tell. As with all of these people. imo

@petesiepoo That's basically how I feel - which is why I rarely understand the "he's too good for her" mentality. Unless there's actual abuse or cheating happening, they're all the same. After all, if Blake is choosing to date Kristina (when there are many, many non-Bach girls he can date) and going to events and admitting to wanting to be the Bachelor, is he really much different from her? 

IMO.

@Aria Good points. I just can't put any of them on a pedestal and feel they are "too good for --fill in the blank--." Fandom is all well and good until it makes me hate on someone else to build up the beloved. jmho

I love so much about this paragraph. I don't particularly love either Blake or Kristina or Becca but no one has to be better then the lead who chose someone else.

Blake was on Almost Famous podcast. A little insight on the “Bachelor Announcement wait” and how close he and Jason (and Colton) have gotten:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-ben-and-ashley-i-almost-famous-podcast/id1238355247?mt=2#episodeGuid=gid%3A%2F%2Fart19-episode-locator%2FV0%2F5n55ImlLws6LD5rq0bSnyETvcD6nGCjnMQejPRYnCqA

You can tell Ben and Ashley, Nick, Jared, Dean, Wells and Company think very highly of Blake (as well as Jason). He just seems to be such a great guy! He and Ben talk about how weird it is transitioning back to “ normal life”. Sounds like he and Jason are going to enjoy some of these fun events right after like iHeart but wants to keep his job at Coor’s etc. He talks about what he wants in a woman, if he’s date a “fan” and says he’s currently single. The crew seems to be having a good time in Vegas! I really like Blake and Jason’s bromance. I call them “Blakeson” LOL

@Frymama Thanks for sharing!

No sign of Kristina? and Nick's comment "Eligible"?

Nope! I really don’t think there is much there w/ Kristina. I think Shabby thought they were a good match, he’s probably definitely attracted to her, and interested in getting to know her, but bc of long distance alone...I just don’t see it progressing IMO. Time will tell...
