As the Bachelor, Ben had a lot of interaction with producers and shared, “I was never forced into anything. I was talked through as a friend in situations. If I was confused, they would sit with me and allow me to speak my mind and help me process. Yes, there is producing that is done. It’s a show! There are situations that happen that they need to get something out of, but it’s never a forced situation.”
He added, “The Bachelor and Bachelorette has been around for 15 years. It is a well-oiled machine. The format of the show really hasn’t changed.”
