So 30-year-old contestant Ben Scott goes on to Bachelor in Paradise to “redeem” himself from his abysmal PR failure on Desiree Hartsock’s season of The Bachelorette, but it doesn’t quite work out so well since Ben had a girlfriend back home!
Marcus Grodd finds a note in Ben Scott’s suitcase from said girlfriend and Ben is sent packing once again.
So who is Ben Scott’s girlfriend?
Her name is Lindsay Higgins and she is a model in Dallas Texas for the Kim Dawson modeling agency. She is 5′-11″ blue eyes and brown hair and drop dead gorgeous. No wonder Ben didn’t make the slightest effort to meet anyone on Bachelor in Paradise. The two were dating when he left for the show and are dating now. And Lindsay blew his cover by posting pics on Instagram about their relationship while the show was running!
She apparently has five brothers and prior to Ben she was madly in love with a fellow male model.
And interestingly she appears to be quite religious.
I guess the problem with this show is what happens if you meet someone AFTER you are cast? It looks like that’s what happened with Ben so I won’t blast him to much, but really I’m not sure this is what he needed to redeem his bad boy reputation!
