Kaitlyn’s Bachelorette Reunion | Ben Zorn: The Dog Guy, the Black Eye & a Tear-Free Decade!
About this episode
#853. Ben Zorn is back as Kaitlyn continues her 10-year Bachelorette reunion series—yes, the guy from the escape room one-on-one! He shares what it was really like getting cast at the last minute, the story behind giving Jared a black eye, and how he ended up with the “dog guy” edit on Paradise.
Ben reflects on what he wishes viewers saw, whether he’s finally cried since his tear-free confession, and how life has changed since reality TV—complete with a wife, two kids, and way less Bachelor buzz these days. Tune in NOW!
