And I needed some! Not doubt per se, but a reason to stay interested until the end. The part that got me was him saying basically " I still want her in my life, that's how much I love her" through his tears. Yikes. If that's after letting JoJo go as it looked, t sure sets up a great finale and ATFR. Poor Ben looked nauseous after they showed that clip .

Personally I see what a goner he is for Lauren, but for some reason I get more feels from he and JoJo so looking forward to seeing it all play out. I don't doubt Lauren as F1, but the journey to the end just hot a lot more interesting to me.

Maybe he was explaining how he made his decision?  Like he may have fallen in love with them both, but he stll loves one so much that he can't let her out of his life?  Or... maybe he  was just sad letting someone go.  Remember they are experts at editing things to create anticipation and drama.  Particularly in an already spoiled season, with a lead who is so nice there was been very little drama.  Who knows what he was talking about when he said he made a big mistake.  I, personally, am taking it with a big ol' grain of salt.

Oh, I agree. Probably just things he said in the heat of the emotion of letting the f2 go, I just think it will make for good tv that he will be so emotional about it.

I didn't like that either. One of the few times I respected Chris was when he defended Britt and said she smelled good and didn't seem like she had a showering problem.

IA.. he had an opportunity to spare Olivia some of this and passed. I hated that and have been so impressed with him otherwise. I also thought Emily looked bad. There are some things you just don't say. Stick to what you are upset about and don't take ugly jabs at people.

Seabear wrote:I haven't watched the episode yet But I detest it when any parent on this show throws their EX under the bus.  Particularly when the other parent is still in the childs/childrens life/lives.  Rude, classless and just plain wrong.  Please keep your dirty laundry off my TV. No excuses.  Adults choose who they have children with.  

JMO

I know! Those kids are going to see that one day. Horrible. No matter how bad he is, they share half his DNA. You just don't do that to kids.

But that's not a first Sean and Jason did as well if that's what happened.

Sean told Lindsey he loved her, but wasn't in love with her. I've always thought his honestly in that was admirable and wish it wasn't turned into something more. jmo.

It seemed like he was genuinely happy for some reason/didn't seem like just an act. I can't help but notice that Ben looks more happy when asked about Jojo in interviews than when asked about Lauren. It makes me wonder if he still has feelings for her.

Well.. that would make more sense to me. I'll have to go back and watch that. I've never seen such an obvious edit if Lauren B is really F1. It would also explain Ben's sort of down attitude on the Live show and in some other interviews. I was surprised that Ben told JoJo she would not be blindsided in tonight's episode.

I feel so much better seeing it. It is so sliced and diced!!

Until I see the whole conversation of Ben's I'm going to reserve committing on that preview based entirely on other previews that never were seen on the final edit

Ben might look or feel bad during the live show cuz he has some es'plaining to do
