'The Bachelor' 2012: Ben Flajnik's friend, former cast member speaks out

Constantine Tzortzis not only went through "The Bachelorette" last season with Ben Flajnik, but the two ended up becoming rather close as a result.

So what does the guy think about how Ben is doing in the lead role this season? Speaking in a new interview with a TV affiliate in Atlanta, Constantine says that he really just loves trying to figure out why certain people say and act like they do -- though he was not too scathing of his buddy in the process.

Constantine also said that despite his experience on the show last year (where he left after realizing that his feelings for Ashley Hebert were not really there), he still thinks it's possible for someone to fall in love on TV:

"I think yeah, I guess I think it's possible — but it's like anything. I just recently found someone that I'm madly in love with and it's kind of ironic that it happens very quickly, when it does. You can't really plan it. I think it could happen on reality TV, it just takes a lot of, like, faith and you just have to really go for it. But, I mean, it's definitely very unlikely."

With this opinion in mind, we wonder if Constantine really feels that Ben managed to make this happen during his time on the show this season?
