From Sharleen's blog:

LAUREN B’S HOMETOWN
In Portland, Lauren B takes Ben to some food trucks, otherwise known as the best date activity known to man. I relate to Lauren B's love of butter—is there anything better, really?—and loved this moment between them...

I was also fascinated by how all the other folks seemed either completely unaware or disinterested in the filming going on. (The Bachelor is such an infamous show that there are usually hoards of people crowded around and taking photos.) It made me think the cameras had to be far away and zooming in...

Lauren B either speaks in hyperbole or is really that comfortable with Ben...

Lauren B has been a frontrunner this entire season but this Hometown I think really cemented her as everyone's prediction for Ben's final pick. I believe in showing—not telling—as talk can be cheap. And while on every other Hometown he told some family member, "I really care about your daughter", he showed how much he values Lauren B in this moment...

There was some commentary from Lauren B about the importance of her family's approval that came from an ITM I'm sure is a Pick-Up...

Generic top, check. Hair and makeup completely different than this date, check.

How can he cry like that with Mollie and then say what he did not long after with someone else AND then to top it all off, he tells Lauren he loves her too?! Ben had something good with Lauren and even his F2, but saying I love you like he did, come on. I really loved these two together, and with SM, and other clues think he picked Lauren, but wow, on having to deal with all this. I'm curious how they'll weather this storm Ben created and hope things worked out for them...I think.

I'm singing , I will survive and think they did too.

I think the fact that both Lauren and JoJo are still friends & JoJo seems to be amicable with Ben with her social media makes me think that all is good with Ben and Lauren

All maybe good to this point..and hopefully beyond if he's been completely honest with her. Going into this show, contestants should know what to expect, and Lauren could see that-we'll see what happens, and how they all handled it.

watching it right now and Ben saying 'seeing Lauren is the closest thing i ever felt to love at first sight' almost killed me 

[jupi]

So guys, do we still like them together or not after that episode? J/K

Even though part of me wants to pelt Ben over the head right now, I still like him and am firmly on this train still

I hope he was honest with Lauren about everything that happened, boy needs to put those communicator skills to use.

I want Ben to redeem himself!!!

I'm on this team till the bitter end. If I can deal with Soules for my dear Whit, I can do it for Lauren

[bellehuntley]

I need Ben to do something to redeem himself! Go back to the old Ben we used to love please

[jcrbil]

IMO the previews led me to believe all will be okay- Lauren's a bit off balance, but dealing with the idea that he may have told JoJo that he loves her, too. But I must say, I didn't think I'd see Ben dive into quite as deep a pile of mud/quick sand.

I'm still firmly on the BenLo train even though last night was a little rough:)
