The Bachelor 20 - Ben Higgins - Social Media - Vids - Media - *Sleuthing - Spoilers* - #3

It's definitely for the money. That being said, I don't see Ben being like CS and disrespecting his F1 so that also bodes well. As does Lauren living in that area. I guess there is a long time to go still though before all that and yet to see how Ben is on his season and how his F1 is.

The leads are coached to answer very "mysterious" though, not having a "yes" or "no" answer to any question. The network/show probably wants there to be an offer on the table, for many reasons. That's a strategic move that allows a lot of flexibility and opportunity for everyone involved. So Ben may or may not even want to do the show, or maybe he has no idea at this point, but he still has to answer like he would possibly consider it (any new opportunity.)

Save YOU the embarrassment?!   What about him? Or poor Lauren? Or his family? JK. He's so dang tall that it would probably be really hard for him to do the dances, especially since he (I'm assuming) has no experience with moving his body in that way. Since he is so tall though, he would need a taller pro.. Who's the tallest female pro..? It actually might be Lindsay. Or Sharna.

Save me. Save everybody. I am already cringing just thinking about it. I'm not sure if Sharna is the tallest but she'd be a good partner.

Yeah. Ben strikes me as someone who will say something in a positive ended way about anything and anyone.
He's very politician in that way but I think that is a good thing in his case and doesn't mean he is not genuine - just smart.

The most important thing, is having the discussion with the final 1. And since Ben seems very respectful of people's feelings and opinions, I'm sure if Lauren said no to DWTS or had any concern, he would listen and not do it. IF she is all for it though, and he can sense that, then that's obviously great that they can agree. It just has to be them being on the same page and communicating it all through that's the most important thing.

What did Sean say about DWTS in regards to Catherine?

 Yeah, I can't imagine him being good either. His poor face during the two step was sooo painful (but still cute) as it was, because he was concentrating so hard on the steps. He kept making goofy faces, scrunching up his face, and sticking his tongue out. Imagine a whole routine of that..?   I checked and Witney is 5'3. Emma is 5'5. Sharna and Lindsay are 5'6. I couldn't find a height for Peta. Or Jenna (who I think will be a pro next season.)

IA. It's why I think he should wait to see what his F1 thinks post-show. It's a long way to go still.

Yep. I still thinks it too early for this to even be a topic. The show doesn't even start for another 3 weeks. And the DWTS conract isn't even until the earliest mid way right? There's a lot to be seen before a decision is made.

Anything would be better than watching Chris disrespect Whitney week after week during DWTS... But I'm team whatever is best for Ben and Lauren.

The show is already giving away the winner on the down low. LOL. On the bios, they're all messed up (again), and all the girls are labeled as 'characters'...except Lauren, who's labeled as 'contestant'.

There will be a few good dancers and the rest of them ranging from awkward to terrible. So I don't mind an uncoordinated Ben on DWTS.

Ben is/seems like a respecting man so I don't see him treating Lauren with anything but respect. If she wouldn't mind him doing the show (and why would she—great money, knows that he wouldn't disrespect her, it's right in her own backyard) I think he will do it and I think they will be absolutely fine and survive it well.
