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

Yeah, the fact that she's so relaxed, realistic and able to stay out of the bubble from what we've seen in the first 2 episodes and the hot tub sneak peek makes the fact that they're engaged more real to me. Like, Lauren does come across as someone who would've only said I love you and accepted an engagement if she truly meant it, not because she got swept up in the romantic idealism the show creates.

I just think she's the type of person who would've eliminated herself around F4/F3 if she wasn't genuinely falling in love, so IMO any "does Lauren love Ben back" storyline the editors conjure up is probably going to be a result of them needing an obstacle/conflict for the final couple rather than any legitimate hesitation on Lauren's part. Then again, for all we know they might actually live up to the "most romantic season ever" they promised and just give us the love story, but that's probably too much to ask for

Welcome limoncello  and thanks for sharing the video clips!

Ben doesn't have a good poker face especially when Jimmy Kimmel mentions Lauren B.  He made an extra effort not so smile which Jimmy noticed.  

Lauren B is a lucky gal as I think she may have snagged the best bachelor this show has ever had, IMO.

heyyy, thank you

and I completely agree with everything you said

Holy moly I just watched the extended preview of their date and I had a smile on my face the whole time. I don't know what it is about them that i love but I just do. He is totally cute with her

I agree that Ben seems pretty happy post-show about how things ended, so that's reassuring for me at least

Their moments are just absolutely adorable! I can't wait to see them from when he picks her up and what leads up to those cute little looks at each other and kisses in the plane. And the conversation they're going to have in the hottub. Oh yes, cannot forget about their slow dance later that night!!
   

limoncello, enjoy your stay.

These 2 are super cute. I hope her "journey" is relatively (for this show) easy. I still wonder about the reported crying incident in warsaw and wonder what could have upset her.

After watching that sneak peek, I can see why Lauren's acting the way she is towards Ben. She's scared of getting hurt, so she puts up a wall to shield her. I hope later in the season she opens up to him once she sees how much he's fallen for her. I think that'll be what will make her go "all in". With Ben's insecurity that he's unlovable and Lauren's fear of getting hurt it's going to be even more beautiful to see when they both realize they fell in love and that it's mutual.

That preview just makes me want to wish away the weekend!

Well she needed a "hurdle" to overcome...

Your icon is the cutest! I love them so much

Monday needs to come faster!

I watched the preview and don't see that Lauren's holding back. I think it's just not her personality to be gushy. They're very cute together, aren't they?
