Why..?

I think that is referring to the make outs with Olivia and JoJo. Both of those look much steamier that with the other women he kissed...even in the s/c.

I'm hoping that based on the views she has expressed thus far, she is realistic about what Ben has to do to get to the end...and that he wasn't too naughty along the way.

That tent in his pants on JoJo's FD shows me it will only get worse. Especially if he slept with JoJo days before proposing to Lauren. and if he really did have Lauren as his F1 halfway through filming then he was still being his horny self for one last hoorah and perhaps JoJo may then have thought she legitimately could be F1 (always sucks to be led on as F2).

I will say, as much as I like Ben, I don't care for the overtly physically stuff. With any lead. One can still be a lead and be a gentleman in the physical department as well - Art Green was this way 100%! While Ben is no Blob or even CS or JPG, I still don't compare him to the worst to make him look better. He's doing a pretty good job but based on the twitter feedback by those watching in Australia even (yes the culture is different) they are calling Ben the kissing monster already.

Sorry for the late response...Yep he sure is passionate with JoJo even up to F3, and maybe F2. As much as you are schooled, you still hurt when watching the one you "love" in a make out session. If F1 is watching she should stop soon. The most successful endings are the ones where the F1 only watch their part of the show.

I always give the lead some slack when it come to this issue because I always think back to Des. There were numerous times she sat down with CH during her season where she would say that she was in love with Brooks, but Chris was very close behind, which ended up being a good thing because we know the happy ending they got together.

Sometimes the lead's mind can be clouded for various reasons, so it's a good thing to keep their options open. Personally, it seems like he spends most of his season all about Lauren and Jo Jo (I think the Olivia thing fades sooner rather than later) so I like that there was mostly just two girls he seemed the most into throughout the whole season.

Gosh I hope they're all adults about the fantasy suite and keep that to themselves, we don't need to know who he had sex with. 

Of course he's going to be be turned on and attracted to the f2 (or more), IMO there isn't any explanation that needs to be done - he was dating all of them! I dont mind the chemistry between him and JoJo even if she's f2 - and if Lauren's as confident as she appears, I think she will handle it well too. This is The Bachelor!  

I expect them to really ramp up the chemistry angle between these two towards the end to throw off the viewers.

I do think it would be much more hurtful to watch towards the end when things get serious vs the first few episodes, especially when your 'story' hasn't yet started.

That was a pretty steamy kiss on the helipad. Maybe Lauren B. better take notes from Whitney and just not watch the show.

I thought Catherine watched the show though..?

Didn't end up mattering though. And it's not like Chris and Becca were having steamy makeout sessions anyway.

If you are F1 you have to understand that the premise of the show is for the lead to date multiple women.  The lead can't put all of the contestants in the friend zone.  They are coached to have an open mind and to develop real relationships. Ben said in the preview that he fell in love with two women and I'm sure he had strong feelings for several others. It may be a challenge to watch but it seems like Ben would be in constant contact with his F1 reassuring her that the other relationships are part of his past.  They're probably engaged, confident in their current relationship and planning their future  JMO

Exactly this. Like Catherine has said, the lead isn't yours until he puts that ring on your finger.

There haven't been many successful endings to begin with though. Who only watched their parts?

Lauren just doesn't strike me as the jealous or insecure type. I actually feel like it's always going to be Ben who's more into her in the relationship. I also think that, even if the lead wanted to, they can't just kiss 3-5 girls because then everyone would know on week two who the final girls are going to be. It's a tough balance. I also think that LB was probably always ahead, but I also think he did really like Jojo and Olivia at the time. I would rather him explore those relationships fully than have regrets later or pull a Jason Mesnick.

Let me rephrase. Those that last longer than the end of the season said they only watch their parts or not at all: JP, Chris, Cat(?) etc..
