Lauren Bushnell - Bachelor 20 - *Sleuthing - Spoilers* - #2

This is one of the few times I actually like the spoiled F1. I love Lauren's approach to all this. She's not desperate and the world won't end if she's not the F1 and Ben is all for her. The rest of the women who go on this show could learn a thing or two from her.  

She's watching the full episodes, not just her parts, according to her Twitter last night. Is that a good thing?

I think it'll be fine. She seems pretty confident to me. I don't see a Bremily 2.0 here.

I have to watch Lauren and Ben's time together again to really grasp what happened She's normal compared to these other chicks it's great.

Yeah she's not acting like he's the last man on earth and her chances for love are over if he doesn't give her a rose. Come on ladies, you're 1 of 28 women this season and you're all gushing over how perfect Ben is and crying over not getting time with him. Make him work for it. Of course he's going to be into the woman whose life won't end if she doesn't get a rose. She stands out among you loons.

Haven't watched this episode yet, just read the comments about Lauren & Ben, call me skeptic, I just hope she is not playing game with Ben. I still don't feel very good about her.

It's so refreshing how normal she is! I'm so excited to see an actual love story progress, instead of an F1 that comes in half in love already right out of the limo. I didn't really get the hype around her on night one, but she really impressed me here.

^ Yes, well said! Stand out from the crowd ladies, don't be invisible or make it hard for him to remember you!

I agree that it's nice to see someone who's letting the relationship grow naturally. I think that's why she was less than impressed by the photo, it seemed more like a producer gimmick than a real gift. I would understand giving it to her late in the game, but the second time they speak? Kind of weird. I find it refreshing that she wasn't acting like she just won the lottery over a photo of the other night.

Best way to impress a man in this situation is to act like you know your own worth. We saw it work for Becca last season. I like Whitney, but I think she pretty much killed any romantic interest Chris had in her with her desperation. When has "trying harder" ever worked for a woman? And Ben saying he feels unlovable is practically code for "I always pursue the women who don't want me". Take a hint ladies! Hopefully Lauren will fall for him just as hard as he falls for her.

IA that Ben likes to be the pursuer so whether or not it's strategy or she's just that cool of a confident and collected customer, it's obviously going to work in her favor.

Emily Maynard's rules for how to win the bachelor.

I like that a woman is okay if she leaves in week two, especially since she didn't have a date or spend time with him. I find the women leaving in the first three weeks sobbing hysterically annoying.

Now if she is still okay leaving in week five or six, then we might have a problem.

So next week Judging from the previews we see them driving to the airplane, on the airplane, walking to the hot tub, in the hot tub and then there was a quick shot of him dancing w a blonde in a white dress. Could anyone tell if that was Lauren?

Loved her demeanor last night, she's doing it right. Can't wait for next week.
