haven't allowed myself to be open to love again. It would have been impossible for me to explain why I haven't been able to open up emotionally, and why dating feels so awkward to me, without talking about my relationship with Ben. Second, and this was my tipping point, I thought about how alone Ben must have felt that day. I'll probably always ask myself if there was something else I could have done, but what eats me up is that he wasn't able to reach out for help. The show has provided me with an incredible opportunity, this exposure, to offer resources, to make depression and that sense of feeling alone in the world something that was okay to talk about, and hopefully prevent someone else from making that same decision.
Tell us some things about you that we didn't see on the show? I'm involved with a few causes that do outstanding work , specifically HRC, DIFFA/Dallas, Dallas Red Foundation, and The Trevor Project. The Trevor Project is the only national resource for LGBTQ youth in crisis, and they provide life-saving resources for our community and staff a 24 hour suicide prevention hotline.
Now that you are eliminated who do you want Robert to end up with and why? You know, I never saw this as a competition. Perhaps that was naiveté on my part. I genuinely hope Robert is intuitive enough to select the guy that is the best match for him—not just the guy who is best at playing the game.
