Jojo's dress looks like a bad pagent dress. Ugh

Yeah, I'm not a fan of either of those dresses. Lauren's dress reminds me of Nikki's a bit. Just boring and looks like every other dress she's worn on the show. JoJo's is pagenty.

JoJo's dress looks like a corset that Las Vegas show girls would wear. Lauren's dress is something I'd wear on a hot summer day with flat sandles, to the grocery store.

There are so many gorgeous outfits, and time and time again, we have to be looking at the worst IMO.

Dresses are blah. And F2 usually\frequently have their hair "done." Did they cut a hairstylist from the FRC budget? Both have their hair in the same everyday style we've seen all season.

Not really - what you have to look for is not the carmera but the light source (which when outside is the sun) and the shadows cast by the light source. In the shot of JoJo while her face is in shade, the foliage behind her is in pretty bright sun so the leaves are well illuminated. If you look at the limo you can see it casts a shadow on the pavement but the shadow is pretty much directly below the limo which means the sun is rather directly overhead - so JoJo and the limo are seen, IMO, around the middle of the day when the sun is mostly overhead.

The image of Lauren shows bright light almost the full length of the left side of her head and the right side of her face is quite dark. The sun has to be near the horizon to see this kind of lighting; this is consistent with either very early in the morning (shortly after sunrise) or late in the day (shortly before sunset).

Thanks Lucas. Do TPTB have an influence on FRC dress selections?

^^^Yes, Cary Fetman, the bach "stylist" brings a selection of dresses from which f1 and f2 can choose. He also "styles" the bachelor (or bachelorette) and brings suits/tuxes for f1/f2 guys. The choices IMO are usually pretty awful, fit the men particularly badly (he can figure out muscular guys- was probably kind of happy with Ben who doesn't seem to spend a huge amount of time in the gym). I wish they would get a new stylist, but CF seems very intrenched.

I loved JoJo's dress in motion in the previews, but I'm not a fan of it in that SC. With that being said, Lauren's looks like a maxi dress that I bought from Target that I wear on Saturday mornings to the mall, so since JoJo's is fancier and the color is super pretty, I'd pick hers.

^^^ But considering what we've seen Lauren wear all season, I think she's being true to herself. She would never choose a dress like the one JoJo chose.

IMO both blah.

Maybe, if they axed the hair stylist for the FRC, maybe they nixed providing dresses for the girls, too. It would account for the very different dresses they are wearing. In the past haven't the FRC dresses been from the same designer? Can someone sleuth who designed/brand of Jojo's and Lauren's dresses?

I'd pick Lauren's dress but neither look like a FRC dress and their hair ugh.
I'd choose a gorgeous dress and nice shoes.
