Happy Birthday from TPTB here comes the storm clouds.

Oh, that is awful that happened on her birthday!  Well for those viewers who were "bored" with this season, we have been given a lot to talk about!

Yes! He looks so happy at the FRC, and that was after letting the f2 go, so it looks like he composes himself again quite nicely

Not for me.
:Furious:  I realize the #1 job of TPTB is to shovel bullcrap at "the audience" and hope we eat it all up and ask for more. I look at the stuff say it's bull crap and walk away.

I think on the video, when he is saying I love her so much,that is why I don't want to let her go,he is talking about Lauren.Had a hard time letting Jo-Jo go, but did realize he couldn't live without Lauren.I hope Lauren or her friends read this website if they are not aware how TPTB slice and dice this show!

Wait people are thinking Ben switched from Lauren to JoJo? Man that promo sure did it's job.

Vain, much?

I'm trying not to get to wrapped up in all of this, but the thing that has me a little "worried" that Lauren and Ben are not together NOW is what has been happening on their IG SINCE the show finished filming...All of Lauren's family was following Ben, and now her sister is the only one still following him. I think she also "unliked" a picture that she had liked in the past. Also, the fact that HE just tweeted that pic high-fiving and kissing JoJo, which she (JoJo) retweeted. I hope its all just coincidence Someone make me feel better about this!

Wow, good sleuthing! All very interesting. I really don't think he pulled a switch, because I don't think he would be IG-ing pics of Jojo then, but I could see Ben/Lauren having issues post-filming. It seemed like Ben was just infatuated with her and there was no real substance there, IMO. Very Brad/Emily type of dynamic.

I am in wait and see mode. Maybe they were asked by tptb not to follow/ like his posts similar to them reaching out to Sharleen.

I am always surprised when a couple does actually last after the show. But it would be a quick change if they were having trouble already.

Bens actions towards Lauren B does remind me of Brad with Emily.

I was unaware that her whole family followed Ben on insta. I agree with @nothatgirl, it just seems like he is infatuated with her. It's not promising which is probably why I haven't been invested. JMO.

I disagree. I've really liked their conversations and how they make each other laugh. They're always giddy around each other. It reminds me of the way my husband and I were in the beginning of our relationship. He may be feeling love. I agree, they don't really know each other at this point. This must be somewhere around one month since meeting. Tough to establish any real feelings, especially when there are so many other women and distractions.

But Lauren's actions towards Ben are vastly different to Emily's!
