Ben really out here answering every question
Lol I know, I wasnât expecting it
Is it true that production stopped a threesome between you, ashley, and deac?
Yeah, I answered that at length in another post.
This has been sparking some serious debate in my house. When Ashley G. first cheated on Rick, she said that KB was âbiggerâ and better. But when they had their blowout fight, she specifically says that Rick had a bigger dick. So, whatâs the inside scoop from the house? Whoâs packinâ heat, and whoâs shit is weak?
I mean look at KB. Just based on his size alone im sure he's packing a f*ckin hammer. Ashley G was clearly upset when KB called her out that night. I know it was the emotions talking and not her rational self.
Way to not shy away from the hard hitting questions. Debate settled. Youâre the man!
How do you feel about Ashley selling those shirts? And posting videos dancing in a bikini in her livingroom?
I'm not gonna lie, the second we got off the island and I saw Ashley's Instagram account my heart sank. I would have been embarrassed to bring her around my family. Don't get me wrong, I support her in whatever she's doing business wise. I even made the logo and branded her swimsuit line for her when she asked for help. But personally I don't want my future grandkids to see their grandmas ass on a t-shirt.
But it would be ok if your future grandkids found out you passed grandma around the hot tub with your buddy?
Good point, but they don't know what I don't tell them. Whatever ends up online is the FOREVER. Kinda crazy when you really think about it.
Psst. You passing around Grandma is information that's on the internet now buddy.
Right? Guess what else is online? Every single stupid word youâve said and all of the dumb shit you did on that show. You think your future kids wonât see this crap? All of your twitter responses and your Reddit AMA is also FOREVER pal. Iâm not a fan of what Ashley and Casey are doing at the moment right now either, but please stop using this double standard bullshit to excuse your shit behavior

YEP. This is why I never bought into the depiction of Ashley that the show was trying to sell us. Her IG is straight from the source, and shows what a cringey weirdo she is.
Snap.
Lololol
Please answer this.
Can you link me to these T-shirts? I have not seen them.
Has Payton ever been on Jerry Springer y/n
No clue
Preeeetty sure she has
Holy shit I gotta see that
Do you think it's legitimate that Casey is saying he got a bad edit? Without knowing him, you've seen what we've seen so you must have an opinion.. ?
We all signed the same contract that states the TV show company can portray you however they want and you can't complain. I don't think he's a bad guy deep down, but he definitely has some emotional maturing to do. Everything he said on the show I believe it to be real. He used the "false editing" cry to cover his ass but I think he was digging himself a deeper hole.
It's really looking forward to meeting him during the reunion so I would have both sides of the story but unfortunately that never happened. I wish him the best from this whole experience.
How do you feel about this photo? https://www.instagram.com/p/BplCh2sF9zm/?igshid=15ak6ht57gw87
Casey is jacked (no homo). But his pictures resemble soft-core porn IMO.
You don't have to say no homo, no one thinks you're attracted to dudes because you admit someone has muscles and no one would care if you were. Let's leave that in 2005 where it belongs.
He might look good on the outside but he's not a good person inside. Looks only go so far.
He's one glass of oat milk away from being a VSCO girl...
Now *that* is a read!
Thanks I hate it
Lmao, I hate this phrase but he is such a butterface!
Would you ever take your significant other on a show like this? Why or why not?
If I found myself in a relationship where I questioned the loyalty and love of my partner I would communicate with them like rational adults until we figured it out or moved on. I would not want my heart broken on national television
Was there a girl (from the single girls) that the single guys liked or talked about? I always wonder of what the single guys and single girls think of each other after the introductions and everything
You have no idea. Production separated the single guys and single girls from the get-go before we even started filming. When we were walking up the stairs to the stage where we did our intros they wouldn't even let us look at each other haha. After the show, whoever was interested in each other met up. This is still going on.
Thanks for the info! I know that every reality show has their procedures to keep filming smooth. That makes sense!
For example, who are still meeting each other up? I wondered about the singles too
NAMES BRO
Thanks for the AMA! Loved watching you! What are your thoughts on David?
Be honest I don't know David that well. Just based on the TV show I'm probably thinking the same thing that all of you guys are.
I love the honesty!
Why Rachel? Was it to get revenge on Casey?
She is one of the singles from the show. It was mediocre drunk sex at BEST. Ashley and I were separated for months before I slept with Rachel. No revenge there.
Yikes... you didnât have to go so lowđđâmediocre at bestâ
Oh shit that does sound bad. *Shouts loudly* "I didn't mean that Rachel!"
[removed]
At least he didnât say âbasic Caucasian sexâ like Beth on MAFS lololol
Maybe because she slept with deac too!
I think he ment on his end that he was drunk and put no effort because he was so drunk.
Ben, man. Charm the ladies? Ouch. Rachel has value as a person â can we respect that?
Yikes, you clearly got the nice guy edit on the show
yikes bro

Sup Ben! I'm gonna ask a million questions, but here's a serious one.
Who "cheated" first? You or Assley? Rumor has it that she had some sort of hook-up with Jose, one of the guys Ashley G. went on a date with. Someone posted a video of her talking on YouTube today, but she failed to mention any sort of cheating on her end. What's the tea?
Immediately following the island, Ashley and I spent a day or so in Arizona. I was showing her the sights and whatnot. She flew back to FL later that day and spent the next month or two hanging with friends and getting back to reality. It was one of the weekends she was in FL (probably 2-3 weeks after the show) when she text me and let me know that she was going to go out and hang out with Casey and his friends. She said she didn't really have her own friends in Florida and that since her and Casey were dating all of their friends were mutual. I said that I trusted her to make the right decisions and she should go have fun with the old crew but deep down I knew something was going to happen. Don't just walk away from a two year relationship and magically not have feelings for someone. Well, the next day at about mid afternoon she faced times me and is crying. She let me know that her and Casey ended up making out at one of the clubs. I told her that I forgave her on the terms that she promised she didn't have sex with him. A few weeks layer she flys out to Arizona to see me. We spend a long weekend together shooting guns and off-roading and everything Is great. She flies back to Florida and starts to decide that she wants to move to LA. This is when I start to notice red flags between Ashley and I. She began getting upset with me because she thought I wasn't giving her enough attention (understandable because we go from 24/7 contact to FaceTime at night and texting through the day). We FaceTimed every night and txt sporadically throughout the day but it still wasn't enough. I blame my busy work/school schedule. It was on her moving road trip to LA that I believe she stop by for another long weekend to hang out with me.
It was on this second weekend she came out to see me in which she asked me to be her boyfriend. Maybe it was my reluctancy to hurt her feelings or my willingness to avoid conflict, but I said YES instead if bringing up how I truly felt. It was two days later (this is where the "dated for only 2 days comes from") I text her in the morning letting her know that today would be a very busy day for me. I had work from 6 AM to 2 PM, class from 3 PM to 7:30 PM, and I was selling my buddies boat until 9 PM or 10 PM. I was on the way to the lake to sell the boat that I updated her and let her know that I would FaceTime her as soon as I was done. I got the "K goodnight" in response. I immediately FaceTimed her and she hung up on me. After another FaceTime 30 seconds later she finally answered. I'll told her "I don't know who she dated in the past, but I don't play games like that. If you have an issue tell me." She goes on to tell me what she's told me multiple times in the last couple weeks which is that I don't give her enough attention. I tell her that maybe we should separate and be friends until she settles in LA and I can come visit her. She's shocked that I would suggest this but I felt it was the best thing to do. At this point it was 6-8 weeks after the show ended.
One red flag that Ashley told me on the show is that she's never gone more than three or four months in her entire life without a boyfriend. I felt the best thing for her to do was be single until she can be happy alone. You shouldn't rely on somebody else to provide your happiness. Two people's happiness should complement each other.
Didn't speak for about a week but we slowly started reaching out to each other again. We were texting back-and-forth maintaining contact. It was during this period that there was a viewing party for episode two or three. Ashley G informed me that Ashley H was grinding on dudes and making out Jose in the club. It was when Deac got home from that party, he left me know that on the way from the club to the after party, Ashley was sucking on his neck and nibbling on his ear asking him to f*ck. He denied all of her sexual advancements because he thought it was too weird. (I confirmed this with 2 other people in the car). It was at this moment that I knew we were done and we were able to see whoever we wanted.
I was hurt but I let it go because I was the one that broke up with her, and I had no right to be upset with who she hangs out with. A few weeks later I flew to New York City for a PR event and a bunch of the singles from the show ended up hanging out. This was when I slept with Rachel.
I don't consider Ashley making out with Jose or Deac as cheating because her and I weren't together. The next week Ashley and I decided for her to come out and see me. Deac, Ashley, and I were hanging out in my living room when she asked about Rachel. I denied it. Knowing about her sucking on Jose's face and trying to sleep with Deac, I figured it was none of her business who I was seeing. She messaged Rachael directly and brought it up again so I told her the truth. Spent the next two days out camping with my friends in the woods. All of my friends are married or engaged and Ashley thought it was funny to joke about having a foursome or threesome with them in the tent. She gets drunk and has NO FILTER. That is super super unattractive to me.
After that weekend her and I decided to not see each other anymore because it obviously wasn't working. It wasn't until I watched the reunion episode in which Casey's friends whispered on stage that Casey said Ashley and he slept together.
â
IN CONCLUSION:
I didn't consider Ashley a cheater until I heard about Casey and her sleeping together when she told me they merely kissed. Whether this is true or not remains irrelevant because her and I are clearly not meant to be together. I never meant to hurt Ashley but clearly I did when I broke things off with her.
WOW. I believe this. 100%.
This sounds more believable, he takes responsibility for the shit he did wrong, he doesn't portray himsself as a victim less angel, far more likely.
Exactly.
Me too. This is consistent with my read on Ashley as a person, mostly from her IG. She's super emotionally immature, craves attention, tries to be manipulative but isn't intelligent enough to make it work and will fuck dudes and then deny it or make excuses when it comes to light.
Damn Ben telling the truth on everything, leaving NO details out! I respect this. Because Ashley has only talked about whatever everyone else has done wrong but not taking responsibility for her own actions.
Like I said earlier, the person with the facts, is the one that tells the truth. When you don't have the facts and throw mud, you attack their reputation. Ben is a stand up guy who fell in love with what he thought was a great young woman when he was on the island. That all changed when they came back from the island and she wasn't interested in becoming a couple. At the time, he didn't realize how lucky he was that she did this.
Completely agree , when you donât have the facts and your backed into a corner then reputation is attacked.
He highlighted his wrong doings And took responsibility Everything from her is , that sheâs innocent
Poor Ben
That's just it. Even on her rebuttal today on her IG pic, she insists that they both know the truth, implying that she is right and he is lying. But, she never provides one bit of where she disagrees with Ben's timeline and what he says. When you are in the wrong, throw mud and hope something sticks.
Damn!!!!!!!!!!
I 100% believe this also. You seem like a great dude Ben. I truly respect you as a man and thank you for giving us all this information
I believe this more than what she has stated. This is clear, not confusing and you bring both of your views in the picture where she only brings up others faults. Funny how what you said about her is what Casey has said about her and yet to her everyone else is the problem...she needs to grow up some more and stop dancing ass out on social media it's getting old! Let's be classy!
I like Ashley a lot...donât get me wrong, But I saw when she was on IG Live - a few weeks back for A viewing party with some others(Deac and Jose were there, The girl from TI1)Just How Immature she Was acting like aTeenAger..
I've watched Ashley's YouTube video and read through all your comments - it's not even close. She is playing the victim, seeking attention, deflecting and minimizing her bad behavior (cheating w/Casey, which she buried at the very end of her long, long video). You are very forthright and transparent, answering all questions. She even looks like she's lying.
Her entire video vilifies you and your actions AFTER you broke up w/her. It's mind boggling. God forbid you go on with your life, go camping, date, and don't respond to her interrogations. She's not entitled to any explanations or answers to personal and invasive questions about what you are doing; you are an adult. I'm shocked that people watch her video and react to it any differently.
I think you've come across extremely mature, emotionally stable (high EQ), and mentally sharp in a venue when 99% do not.
When you look at Ashley and Casey they are both borderline personality disorder. Period.
Respect
This makes so much more sense than her YouTube video. Her story was so all over the map and left me with so many questions. I felt that she was leaving things out and timelines werenât matching up. I got the feeling she was so all over the place because she was intentionally trying to leave things out. Itâs too bad things didnât work out between you two, because it did seem special from a viewer standpoint but itâs TV, so who knows what the whole story is.
Sorry but both Ben & Ashley seem like very shallow immature people. Grow up
Lies, Lies, Lies! Your military training may have taught you to fool the masses but military ppl can see right through your lies in this bullshit statement! Youâre a disgrace! I donât care if I ever see you on my TV again!
I was truly hoping that you and Ashley would have worked out. You seemed like a true gentlemen and Casey seems like the biggest tool ever. However, after reading this long and painful rant, I now believe you are also a tool. I canât wait to meet a man that will tell the world all my personal quirks I tell him in private.. in a thread. To the world. In conclusion: Best of luck. (In bold lettering to get my point across)
You go on reality shows, nothing is private
Stfu, you sound like an Instagram slut lmao
You sound like a real tool. Boy. Bye.
Would you go on ex on the beach with Ashley?
Ashley and I were even friends up until a few weeks ago. Not entirely sure what happened but she seems dead-set on ruining my reputation. I would have gone on any show with her before she decided to drag my name through the mud on a YouTube video. A pretty low-blow if you ask me.
What you did was low too. I just found out way to much at the twitter event.
đđ
Do telllll
More irrelevant things that Ben did AFTER he broke up with you. Yawn. Certainly couldn't have been lower than cheating w/Casey (& lying about the degree of it).
The more we hear from you, the more we realize that Casey's initial assessment (insecure, needy, attention-seeking) was actually right.
Soooo spill boo
đŻ
Would you have really been ok with having a threesome with Ashley & Deac if it hadnât been stopped?
We were all pretty drunk and we were all sexual frustrated due to the lack romantic connections up to that point. But I do know that we would ALL regretted it in the morning. No one wants to look like a POS on national television. Production knew what they were doing. This wasn't their first rodeo.
Well David didnt mind..
He is a POS lol
Have you used Reddit before this AMA? If so, what are your favourite subreddits?
TBH I rarely used reddit before. But seeing all the "inside scoops" you guys find out before even I do!? Absolutely incredible...Ill definitely be frequenting here more often.
This is where I come for my inside scoop too haha. Sort by new all day, every day.
If you end up sticking around you should check out r/nextfuckinglevel and r/natureisfuckinglit too.
Hi Ben! So I read through most of questions to make sure I'm not repeating any. I didn't see this one...after listening to Ashley you tube and then Gavins waffle talk and then reading Ashley's responses to your responses on Twitter...her stories are not consistent. Literally she went live with you and has commented on you IG and twitter accounts and then now she "can't stand" you. Why do you think she flipped a switch and suddenly not speaking with you and not even wanting to be friends?
Great question:
This is something that I've been snooping about to figure out as well. Ashley and I were cool with each other until a few weeks ago. I got a random txt from her calling me a fake and that I played her the whole time. The only thing I can think of is that during one of the big parties with a lot of the cast members from season one and two that the girls (single and couples side) started arguing and calling each other out. Multiple cast members at these parties kept letting me know that Ashley was talking smack about me to everyone who would lend an ear.
I don't think i'll ever know what really set her off but right now im just staying cool and weathering the storm.
Thank you for answering and just sitting back and letting the dust settle. Glad you came on here to answer questions, you didn't have to so I appreciate it!
Where can I find âGavins waffle talkâ?
He does them on Instagram live
Marry, fuck, kill
Deac, KB, or Mark W?
Kill KB (sorry bro your fucking huge and I can't look like the submissive in the relationship)
Fuck Deac (The Bromance is real)
Marry Mark W (he's part love guru, therapist, psychologist, and just a cool guy)
bro đđŞ
Ben, your going to make someone really happy one day!
Thinking back to the first night when everyone introduced themselves, were there any single women in the guys' villa that you would have liked to get to know more or that you think might have been your type?
Theres definitely a single whom I was interested in getting to know because from the short interactions we've had she seemed cool as hell. Level headed, smart, and more than just a pretty face.
Tell us tell us!
Who?
Colleen or Kari SPILL SPILL
Yes who?
Was it Rachel, who Ashley stated she was 100% sure youâd fucked?
Sam?!
SAM
Ben your going to make some girl really happy one day!
Happiness is great, but falling in love... now that's the goal.
i donât know why iâm crying in the club right now
I agree!!!
You are making me happy with this AMA.
These may be inappropriate but I can't help myself so here goes:
Is Toenail aware of her nicknames on reddit
Can you confirm that KB is scary (aka has shades of Denzel Washington in Training Day)
Are Evan's dark circles really the size of ballsacks
How do you feel about snotting on women
Why does Kate end every sentence like it's a question?
Edit/add: Do you think Rick will date me, jw
Toneata blocked every guy from the TV show a few weeks after when she started dating another famous rapper or something. I'm sure she reads what people post about her.
Kareem is one of those guys that hangs out in the corner of the room and listens to everyone talk for at least 30 minutes before he chimes in. He's smart as hell and easily the smoothest guy in the house when it came to talking to the ladies. (Sonic wouldn't give me the time of day the entire time we are in the house haha). If he does have a Darkside, I've never seen it.
Asking the important questions đ
