I agree about him not being attractive. There were maybe one or two times during his season with Ashley that he certainly looked better during certain times, but I'm so not into all that hair. Bleh.During his proposal, I thought he looked probably his worst. There wsa something really bad about the hair. Really bad. I also thought he looked pretty bad on the BP finale, but somewhat okay during the promo for it. And I absolutely love that David Gray song they played.
If I recall, his sister is the one who signed him up for Ashley's season. I think part of them asking him to come back was because of how absolutely horribly he was treated there at the end. Television or no, that was downright cruel to let him get down on one knee and propose to that girl if, all along, she had really already chosen JP.

He does need a complete make over. Well, they did that Ashley. She got fake eyelashes and a whole make over. They'll do the same for Ben.I felt bad for him about the proposal thing, but I don't really blame Ashley. She had a very sad look on her face when he approached her. She said, "Ben . . ." - she was about to tell him that he wasn't he one. He cut her off and said, "Before you say anything . . . " and he gave his speech and proposed.
I'm gonna watch the first episode of Ben's season and see how interesting it is. I could be wrong - it might be fun to watch. I'll have to wait see.
