Lauren Bushnell - Bachelor 20 - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

I think so too. It's better this way and they won't be blindsided now. I never expected Ben to be able to fake it for multiple women so I'm not surprised it turned out this way.

Caila, Jojo, and Amanda might as well be BFF's although I think they might all be separated by now? I'd say if they weren't, I'd almost make it a vacation with your friends and fake it for the cameras.

Well, right now they will all be separated on HTDs. Then there are only 3 left and they can enjoy the travel hopefully. It may be going through the motions, but that's what they signed up for and at least JoJo is not naive with reality tv.

That was speculated from the first pic that surfaced that the chemistry was undeniable! Body language and sleuthing are most often times right!

I also think it's a good thing. No one's gonna get blindsided hopefully unless they're really good at fooling themselves. Still wondering how he's gonna handle the FD's. Surely he will make it clear there's no hanky panky in the schedule, but I doubt TPTB will let him skip alone time with any of them.

Scrabble.

All but Lauren can be Fun Slumber Parties and Scavenger Hunts just like last season with Kaitlyn.  Which I believe was just that.   JMO

No surprise here. It was always the case that Ben would be someone who would likely make it super obvious who he was into as speculated long ago.

It will also give Lauren lots of confidence about what she has with Ben so that bodes well too especially if no sex on HTDs with any of the girls.

And none of the girls will be blindsided so they can instead focus on their social media campaigns to try to get to be the next Bette. Oh joy

From everything I’ve heard, this season has essentially been over since about halfway through. By all accounts, Ben has been pretty clear about wanting Lauren in the end, so much so that it’s apparently become obvious to the rest of the group, which in turn hasn’t made some real happy. They’ve all kinda seen the writing on the wall from what I hear.

Well I sure hope that if it is really true that he is CERTAIN about Lauren and has been for a while....that he does not sleep with the others. I don't understand how he could do that if he is sure about her. Hopefully he can hold out and only sleep with her.

I don't see how he'd be able to sleep with them when he was doing his best to keep Amanda at arm's length even in public. Ben's clearly not a player. During Kaitlyn's season I got the feeling he was still pining after his ex a bit. He just strikes me as a very monogamous guy, unlike most leads in this franchise.

I do get the vibe that Ben is a monogamous guy too, but, to be completely honest, I never have any expectations for who the lead will sleep with or not. I've heard so many stories that I don't make predictions about that anymore. People like Jason, Trista, and Ashley weren't really players and they (allegedly) slept with multiple people. Ben did have a pre-filming flirtation going on with two women, so it's possible that he could be enjoying the attention. I don't really care and don't feel like it's my business, as long as his F1 is okay with it. JMO.

It's one thing flirting with several people when you don't have strong feelings for any of them and another completely to sleep with other people while totally smitten with someone.
