Mid-Season Bachelor Talk

Shall we talk about The Bachelor? I find it interesting to hear everyone’s “Top Three” girls as the season progresses. I often wonder whether it’s their top three or the top three they think would be the best match for the bachelor.

I think I definitely lean more towards the girls I could see myself being friends with. That’s the first factor. Obviously, the other factor is whether I could see Ben married to the girl or not.

First up, Jennifer.

THE BACHELOR - "Episode 1604" - Jennifer is the next fortunate woman to get her first one-on-one date. The adventurous Bachelor reveals that they will be rappelling down into a mysterious crater, where there is actually warm water below. Lowering themselves into the dark abyss, they drop to the water and reunite for a kiss. Later that night, the couple enjoy a romantic rain-soaked outdoor dinner and a then a real treat: a private concert by country music superstar Clay Walker. Jennifer feels she is a perfect match for Ben, but will he feel the same and extend her a rose? The next episode of "The Bachelor" airs MONDAY, JANUARY 23 (8:00-10:01 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network. (ABC/NATALIE CASS)BEN FLAJNIK, JENNIFER

Not only do I want the outfit she’s wearing above {and her gorgeous hair} but Jennifer really just seems to light up the scenery around her. She glows when she’s with Ben. I’m sure that’s in her nature to just be a happy person but last night, I really saw how she brought out that joy in Ben. Ben brought up a really good point when mentioning his career and his need to be flexible. His days aren’t very structured and he needs a woman who will be okay with that. I think Jennifer would really help balance him out.

Then there is Kacie B.

THE BACHELOR - In "Episode 1601," Ben returns to the mansion for the first big cocktail party. He explains to Chris Harrison that, as painful as his experience was last season, he has no regrets. When Ben began his journey with Ashley, he was emotionally shut down due to his grief over his father's death. Ultimately, he was able to open himself up again to love. Because of that journey, he is a different man and ready to try and find love again, when "The Bachelor" premieres MONDAY, JANUARY 2 (8:00-10:01 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.

She is such a sweet, gentle, and hopeless romantic kind of gal. You can tell she has genuine and strong feelings for Ben and their chemistry is very evident. But, would they complement each other enough in the long run? I can’t see Kacie being as flexible with Ben’s schedule. I’d see her becoming a bit lonely. Although she’s been very patient, I think she needs a guy who’s able to devote a lot of quality time and I’m not sure Ben is going to be that guy… at least for a while.

Then, we have Emily…

Emily poem

I really liked her on their one-on-one date where they climbed the Golden Gate! She seemed pretty genuine and fun. Then, last night happened. Emily and Courtney got into a bit of a tiff, to say the least. I have no idea what it must be like to be in their shoes but I can only imagine that it’s not easy. I can understand that it’s really hard to feel as if someone isn’t being honest with the man you’re truly falling for. But, I question what that situation did for Ben. He still seems pretty into Courtney. I wish I knew why…

Next up, we have Jamie…

THE BACHELOR - In "Episode 1601," Ben returns to the mansion for the first big cocktail party. He explains to Chris Harrison that, as painful as his experience was last season, he has no regrets. When Ben began his journey with Ashley, he was emotionally shut down due to his grief over his father's death. Ultimately, he was able to open himself up again to love. Because of that journey, he is a different man and ready to try and find love again, when "The Bachelor" premieres MONDAY, JANUARY 2 (8:00-10:01 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.

Jamie has certainly kept a low profile on the show. We don’t hear much from her and haven’t seen much of her yet, but, it’s looking like that might change next week! I’m looking forward to seeing if they have any chemistry because she seems super sweet!

And lastly, Rachel

THE BACHELOR - "Episode 1603" - Ben surprises 11 of the women by taking them skiing for the day. They don't realize that he has shut down a San Francisco street in the middle of the city and covered it with snow for their adventure. The ladies strip down to bikinis and hit the slope. The competition for Ben's rose continues to be fierce at the after party, but one emotional bachelorette crashes the festivities to give Ben some very unexpected news. She declines the one-on-one date invitation he extended to her. The moment is a real gut-check for Ben and causes him to question everything, on "The Bachelor," MONDAY, JANUARY 16 (8:00-10:01 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network. (ABC/RON KOEBERER)RACHEL, BEN FLAJNIK

I like Rachel’s mellow attitude, but last night’s date definitely had me feeling a little nervous for where things will go next. Ben sure seems a little concerned about her lack of opening up. While he’s open to being patient, let’s be honest – there’s only so much time for ABC to film this show!

Those are my top contenders as of now, in no particular order {except for Jennifer kind of!} I’m still a little iffy about the rest of the girls. That includes Lindzi. I know a lot of people are pulling for her, but something about her still rubs me the wrong way. We’ll see! It could all change!

P.S. I LOVE that they were in Park City on last night’s episode! As most of my readers know, I adore Park City and miss it terribly. Now, if only I had known about that crater! ;)

So, tell me, friends… who are you pulling for? Who do you think is Ben’s best match thus far?
