Yes, but is that different from what Ben said? I have to admit that I cringed when he told Lindsay that- because it was heartfelt, even if he didn't want to spend his life with her. Reading his book made me realized that so much of we who analyze every scene might have surmised- that his head just wouldn't assent to what was pretty obvious to all who watched- how by the end he was so into Catherine and not into Lindsay- until the very end. So I think tptb kept Ben off-balance all the time too, constantly questioning whether there was just one or just maybe that he loved more than one. With all the back to back romantic dates, I can see how that would happen.

I have no idea what we'll see at the end, but I do know it will be what tptb want us to see.

I have a question..at the end, when he says I don't want to let her go,that is how much I love her.Could he have been talking about Lauren? He did get upset about Jo-Jo,but in the end, he knew he could not let Lauren go, because that is how much he loves her.I bet Ben is really upset about this video.

it's all sliced and diced, it's prob nothing crazy

That's what I think also. He's talking about Lauren but he was still upset he had to hurt JoJo by letting her go.

I agree. I think he was upset about letting jojo go. Who wouldn't be? He's a decent guy and that's just normal to be upset about letting someone you've created a connection with go. I think the whole line of him saying "I can't let her go that's how much I love her" or whatever he said was about realizing it shouldn't have been such an internal struggle all along, that he knew he was in love with Lauren and needed to make a hard choice to ensure a future with her.

And yeah, I'm sure he's pissed about the edit of that video and probably upset about a lot of the editing thus far but what can he do? He's kinda stuck! Lol

I dislike Lauren B more and more, the way she talks with other girls scream arrogant and hate that she talks differently in front of Ben. When she is with the girls, it screams "I'm above you all and I know Ben so well", but when she is with Ben, she is all "I'm just a sweet innocent girl worries to get hurt". And I still don't see any depth about this girl, which really is the biggest no no for me.

Don't ask me exactly what Lauren did that made me feel that way, this is what my eyes and my guts see. I know this is a very unpopular opinion, but I'm believe what my guts tell me.

Peggy I agree with everything you said ^ here. It seems she feels so above the others that she is often shown sitting on them!! *smh* and some are even way smaller then her! And then there's the photo where she is leaning on and kind of in front of Emily as if she's the more important of the two. She mostly has resting b!tch face or a sour face until Ben or CH is around. I also often catch her looking directly into the camera.

I simply don't care for her and am suspicious of her. As to why I picked up on this vibe from her when so many don't see what I do.... Maybe it's as simple as she reminds me of someone I knew who acted identical to Lauren and she was anything but real and jerked guys around whenever she could.

Am very indifferent about Lauren B, sure Ben seems to gravitate towards her and his connections with her seem the strongest but I haven't quite figured her out yet.

i also the vibe she sensoring herself and that i haven't gotten to know the real Lauren B.

Haven't watched yet, and reading here makes me wanna skip the episode. Was it that bad?!

Honestly, I don't remember much from this epi - I kept grabbing more wine every time Amanda said "like." I may have also suffered a concussion from facepalming so much during her entire dinner date.

It was a snoozefest of manufactured drama and not much else.
I can't wait for F6 to come... it's really not worth watching until then, imo.
