He had I'm pretty sure knee surgery, hence the weight gain.

He was also going through a divorce. Tough times in his life.
I LOVED Bob. I TOTALLY would apply, but I think I'm like six months younger than the cutoff (is it 21?). Bob's the oldest too, I think he's like 35? But, man, he's precious.
I wanted Trista to narrow it down to Ryan and Bob. Charlie seemed kinda greasy to me (maybe it was the gross hair?) and Russ seemed like a TOTAL slimeball. Ryan and Bob were both my favorites on the show from Day One, but I do think she made the right choice with hottie fireman Ryan.
Hopefully, Bob finds himself a great girl. He definitely deserves one!
