The Bachelorette aside for two a week. I hope that, somehow, your were able to continue on in my absence. Let's analyze how this season went: Ben I feel like this season would have gone a lot better for Ben if he could actually speak like a normal human. Seriously, this boy could not express his feelings if his life depended on it. ICYMI, here's how his hometown date with Tayshia went: Ben *to camera*: I love Tayshia. Tayshia: Do you love me? Ben: wut. She sends him home and it does not occur to him until about five minutes into his car ride that he probably should have told Tayshia how he felt. Ohhhhh.
