He bared his soul on The Bachelorette. Now Ben Flajnik is baring even more.
We’re talking about bare buns, people.
“It’s a very nude season,” host-pimp Chris Harrison says of Flajnik’s turn as The Bachelor, which kicked off with another mesmerizing season premiere Monday.
“Ben is comfortable in his own skin. He doesn’t have modesty issues.”
But it wasn’t all easy for the 29-year-old, San Francisco-based winemaker, who admits he was caught off guard by the fierce level of competition among the 25 women.
He’s a go-with-the-flow kind of guy when it comes to disrobing on camera, but the emotional nakedness of the reality show left him seeking cover. So to speak.
This winter will feature a mystery woman from Ben’s past (our Bachelor spoilers page has the details), a hyped-up skinny-dipping session and MAJOR cat fighting.
“Obviously with a situation like this, the claws are going to come out,” Flajnik tells People Magazine. “And they came out a lot earlier than I would’ve expected.”
We’ve come to expect such things, but never quite like this. If you missed the (sexy, dramatic, suspense-filled!) trailer for the new season, watch it after the jump:
