And the mantra goes on...ohhhhhhmmm Sorry Miki, but no excuses. He should've known it wasn't her no matter how excited he was to see her. Regan can fake Jo's apperance as much as she wants but she can't fake the rest. Ben should've been able to realize her touch, her kiss, or whatever was different. Besides, they didn't exactly leave each other on the best of terms. When Jo showed Ben she was still alive through Jasmine's aura, they met at the hotel, had sex and then Jo left him (again) when he told her not too. Then Ben leaves her a note in her mailbox telling her: Fuck You. So after that kinda brush off, the first thing Ben does is jump "Jo's" bones instead of asking her why she "faked" her death and why she left him? I don't think so. I'm pretty sure Ben has a lot of pent up rage where Jo's concerned that's why I was surprised when he and regan were having sex even if he did think it was Jo. Do you guys maybe think he knew it was Rose he was screwing and he just wanted to spite Jo? Maybe he wanted her to hurt as much as he did when he though she was dead?

That, of course, assumes that he wants to get rid of Regan...then again if he's Regan's partner he wouldn't let jo kill her... *whistles innocently* spoiler] Nothing innocent about that statement deathlynx lol...u gonna get in trouble with the girls again...

I gotta agree with Deadkitty. If someone looks exactly like someone else and pretends to be them, in the real world it would never occur to most people to think they are not who they say they are. Even in bed. They might notice something off but I don't think most people would even think that the person they are with could be an imposter. However, and more importantly....Ohmmmmmm.......

That's interesting nathalie about Ben maybe knowing it was Rose...never thought about that; I was just so pissed that he was screwing Regan I didn't think about it. I was just giving some examples. I'm still of a mind that even if someone had plastic surgery and looked my hubby I would like to think I would see 'something' that was off...scent, taste, touch...something. I'm happy to say that I've not had to worry about that and hope I never do.
But as far as Ben and Jo; they hadn't had sex for years and then just got together again for that one time years later...I think he was desperate enough to want to believe it was her. My heart says, yes, he should've known it wasn't her and part of my head says no way he could've; he's a man after all (haha) There was no reason why Ben would've thought it wasn't Jo; Jo fucked up by mentioning anything to Regan. DL~you're just itchin' to cause trouble, mister man!

In the heat of the moment, i guess different rules apply...And of course slayercat, so true that you'd have no reason to think that someone's impersonating your lover.
But, then again, Ben was dating a Jo look a like...He'd have to be blind not to realize that Rose's apperance was similar to Jo's...And he's dated both and been intimate with both on some level. Couldn't he tell them apart?
Truthfully though, I'm guess I might just be biased because I hate Regan and I was really pissed that Ben didn't know the diff between the love of his life and the bitch, ;D

Hm... Maybe some "Team Traina" and "Team Hunter" tees...
I have to say, I love this convo. Good on DeadKitty for being the sole opposing voice here, too. Not easy to stand up against Jo and Co. {g}

Yes yes. Very good points. What if Ben did know? 'Cuz how could you NOT wanna talk it out? "I know you faked your death and we shagged and you disappeared even though I begged you not to, that I couldn't take losing you again. But I ran into your sister, so 'sall good, let's just fuck." No. He'd have to be mighty intoxicated for Regan to just waltz in and screw him, letting him think she's Jo. I'd like to see how she pulled that one off.

For sure it wasn't that simple. I seriously do not think they just jumped into bed together...No way.I'm betting he was either intoxicated like Raven said, drugged by the stupid bitch or he wanted to spite Jo with Rose. Either way, Traina fucked up big time.

I dunno...Regan's pretty good at mind fucking people. Ben knew he was supposed to be meeting Jo...Regan gets there first, tells him that Jo ain't coming again...he says fuck it I'm tired of chasing Jo around like an idiot and waiting for a woman who is never gonna come. Rose is here, we like each other, let's take it to the next level...but that doesn't explain later when Jolivia is with him showing him their daughter right before they take him to have his mind altered. He would've asked her about Jo, I think. Hmm...something is just not clicking for me with the whole fucked up scene in the book. You guys are probably right, the bitch probably got him so drunk that he didn't know or care who he was screwing. Will we ever find out about that? Only the evil author knows... Yes, I'd like to put in my order for a tee with Team Hunter on the front, and Team Traina on the back in a big red circle with the slash across the middle like the no smoking sign.

omg...to many possibilities... The end of Touch was just one big cliff hanger. . Too many damn possibilities. You're right Miki, we have no clue why Jolivia took Ben to see their kid and he might have asked about Jo or he might've decided to not involve "Olivia" in their problems.

But didn't Ben and Regan screw all over the city? Jo didn't witness it, but the "scent" was there. Very interesting scenarios, guys. OMG, Vicki! You're killing us all over again!
