    LOL 

    What a hottie – very clear why he was the first male model on the Price is Right :)  He is WAYYY more engaging than the other Ben – so it’s pretty clear why they changed him.  And I immediately think he has the soap charm.

    Chemistry with Abby is to be determined… the funny part is I did think the other Ben was cute too – and he was more believable as Jordan’s brother.  But that’s because they are both bland and boring LOL

     I think that one day is too soon to judge. I kind of like old Ben, he was kind of shy and unsure of himself that was believable since he is suppose to be laying low. I felt that he really improved sindce his SL heated up, and I feel that TPTB should have given him a longer chance!

    As for Nu-Ben, I guess he is not my type. I didn’t see him standing out so I will reseve my judgement for late.

     ;) jk 

    but really, he was very nice to look at. Also, I totally agree about the other Ben & Jordan seeming more like each other due to their toned down personalities. But I’m happy to see this nuBen bring life into the character.

    but will honestly hate to see him wasted on whiney, juvenile Abigail. The girl needs a complete make-over, including breathing lessons, as far as I’m concerned. Ugh!

    So far, I like the old Ben better. He was better looking and I liked his portrayal more. This one seems a little more smart-alecky.

    I agree with you. The old Ben seemed a little more vulnerable and sweet.

    with you, Goodolddays and Bluebonnet.  The old Ben was sweet, and his portrayal fit the scene he and his sister had to play.  He was growing on me.  I wish we had a chance to see him progress.  I miss him already.

    but I think NuBen is better looking. I really didn’t care much at all for the first one. He just didn’t seem to have any personality at all. Oh, well, DSFDF (Try and figure that one out.)

    how opinions would change if the replacement actors had actually been the originals. In this discussion, say NU-Ben had been the first Ben and the original actor the one replacing him. Would fans be saying the new guy is dull and we like the first one so much better?
    And say Robert K Kelly the original Bo with Peter replacing him? Would fans say they couldn’t imagine anyone but RKK in the role?
    What I’ve found is you need to give an actor some time to ease into the part. So I’m neutral on this guy for awhile yet.

    different strokes for different folks!!

    I stated before that I liked original Ben. I liked his low keyed personality and he seemed vunerable.wise. I think it is hard to judge because he had no story line for the first month he was on!! 

    Time will tell if I warm up to NuBen.
