Out of all the girls, I want to know more about this one. She looks very pretty and seemed close with Ben when she ran up to him/next to him on stage, etc. I want more!!

Me too! Everyone is sleeping on the girl. I think she has a connection with him. She held on to him the longest when they hugged.

Good luck.

Olivia is the 'sass', but I don't buy that faith is a big thing to her. Those vids of her parents were right...you need similar interests.

Yeah, looks are VERY subjective. I personally think that Andi was gorgeous (even though I can't stand her personality, haha). I've heard people say that Jen and Trista were very good looking, even though I personally don't see it. So, I do think it's very possible that Lauren could get it, especially if she's a fan favorite and gets a good makeover. She does kind of give me a Jen Schefft vibe (looks only). I just personally don't see her getting it, but she's definitely not plain enough to be completely out of consideration. I heard that 90% of applicants on the show are denied strictly because of looks, so no one who goes on this show is ever really unattractive.

(jmo)

Totally agree on Jen and Trista. They were always meh to me. Andi is down there with them for me as well. Too harsh and a bit mannish looking.

If 90% really are denied based on looks, then I wonder how in the hell Jaclyn made it through?

I think Lauren is just cute. Not gorgeous or beautiful but attractive enough where I could see her still being picked. She's Jillian or Ashley level attractiveness to me.

Awww...poor Jacklyn. She's definitely become the go-to person for "ugly" here. I think it might just be that they are trying to fill certain slots for looks; obviously if they wanted 25 Britts, they could have them, but I'm guessing they try to get a variety of looks and so maybe they are trying to fill out quotas for brunettes, cute girl next-door, super-model gorgeous, WOC, etc. . I forget where I heard that fact, maybe Sharleen?

And, yeah, I'm starting to change my mind on Lauren. She definitely has the potential to be a fan-favorite, considering she's a teacher and seems very family-oriented.

What episode are those usually?

Yes!! I'm most excited/curious about her at this point. She kind of looks like Holly, at least from a far in these grainy screen shots. But yeah, she hauled a** to Ben and their hug seemed like one of the more genuine ones. Plus, she had the flower on stage along with Ben, which may or may not be a significant thing.

I was thinking the same thing. I hope we find out soon. They look so cute.
