Lauren Bushnell - Bachelor 20 - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

Eh. I have heard she was a sweet girl. It could come down to the fact she was focused on Ben and the other girls were upset because he was so into her from very early on. IDK, I don't see her as a mean girl.

I don't wanna jump the gun of this one but IF the other girls were upset that Ben was favoring her, that's Ben fault really.

The contestants always blame the other girls/guys instead of the lead though... Not right but it's what happens.

That's very true. Which is why I don't feel bad for any of them when they get a bad "edit" (even my favorites). RS did say only 2 people got 1 question right, so I'm assuming that most of the common initial judgements people had were off. No one probably guessed Lauren B as the "villain", so definitely a possibility. We'll know soon enough!

Seriously, not trying to be sarcastic, but it doesn't. Perhaps if you are a personal family member or friend it would, but I think it shouldn't make a life altering difference to 99.9% of us here.

?? I didn't say it would though nor did I imply that it would..

True but they aren't going to take it out on the object of their affection when they should. Or maybe they don't like Ben. I don't know, I'd feel bad for Lauren but also the other girls there hoping to find a genuine connection with a lead that already had his mind set halfway through the whole thing. Like I said, Ben's fault.

I thought you only heard she was a sweet girl by a random person that met her..? That doesn't mean much IMO.

I think it depends. Emily Maynard, Shawn, and Nikki were all pretty well liked with the contestants even though there was definitely favoritism from day one for all three. Whereas, with someone like Britt, who rubbed it in everyone's faces got some criticism. If you're disliked by the majority, my feeling is that you usually deserve it. JMO.

I still think it's too early to determine Lauren was even disliked. She might just have been quieter/introverted, maybe the girls just haven't found her profile yet, etc.

I thought he said only two questions were right, not that only two people got one question right..? And was he refering to his email and Twitter? Or just one of those?

Based on Lauren's SM it is obvious that she has no problem having close girlfriends.  Amanda is a Mom so she already realizes that everything is not just about her and therefore would have no problem being friends with Lauren if she was the early and clear favorite of Ben.  In my experience from watching umpteen other Seasons, I'll take a wild guess that IF the other girls don't like Lauren it will be based on their pettiness, immaturity and jealousy that they were not going to "win" the prize of Ben-10.  Every single season the girls are cliquish and there are always petty mean girls who don't like the "popular" girl.  Lauren works with the public as a flight attendant...I am willing to bet she knows how to get along with a variety of personality types....since her job depends on it.    JMO

I don't think that means anything. We've had b*tchy nurses, teachers, parents, non profit workers, etc. JMO.

And neither did I say you did. In fact, I didn't quote you in any way, shape or form.
I'm saying it shouldn't matter to anyone outside of family/friends and that only to a limited degree. It's their life(Ben and final woman)
When it's posted that people are worried over someone's edit(and we had a page of it) it's a normal question and concern. We have had members that have been very concerned over cast in the past where it is concerning to see how tied into the show they are. This may seem ridiculous, but believe me, it's true and frequent.
Just trying to add a dose of reality. Real reality.
