The Bachelor 20 - Ben Higgins - General Discussion - *Sleuthing - Spoilers* #3

Yes, he said it was Lauren.

In looking at RS's posts for this season, it seems that around episode 6 (maybe sooner?) he leaked that Ben was all about one woman. Did he name Lauren then? That's important.

Secondly, how far out from the actual filming of the FRC did he name Lo as the F1?

RS posted on Oct 28th that Ben knew about halfway through filming he was going to pick Lauren. About a week after filming ended on November 24th he posted Lauren was F1

I haven't followed the filming schedule so would that have been the time of the Warsaw date?

If Ben knew about half way through filming he was going to pick Lauren I was wondering why he said I Love You to JoJo. During the FS dates they must have coached Ben to say I Love You to JoJo so they would have a storyline that didn't make Lauren look like the obvious F1. RS thinks they got the idea from Chris H book where a woman loves two men. They decided to do a role reversal and have a man (Ben) fall in love with two women

During the Bahama's group date with the pigs is when the women could tell Lauren was Ben's favorite. He said in the last episode that Lauren is the closest he's come to love at first sight so she was probably a front runner from the beginning. Everytime they were together his fondness/love for Lauren grew stronger.

Can you explain your thoughts about the WE part?

A bit of a slip...but, rather odd. We = producers, show...had to continue on with the drama for the sake of the production and being able to have workable material to edit.

and the following week when we got the pics of him and Lauren on their 1:1 (in Warsaw), it just further confirmed how into her he was.  Because even before we sleuthed it out/knew it was Lauren for sure, many here (not all ) believed that was indeed who would be his F1.  The body language was that much different with the blonde in the red truck!   '

JMO.

To echo Lauren, "Ben..." (How you just gave yourself away) No wonder he's been itching to shout it from the rooftops that he loves this one woman...he knew from a LONG time ago.
