Lauren Bushnell - Bachelor 20 - *Sleuthing - Spoilers* - #3

Is it possible that they strung together these statements said at different times?
"Saying goodbye to her doesn't feel right."
"And, this is the biggest mistake I've made." (Sounds spliced)
"I want to keep her in my life."
"I don't want to say goodbye."
"Cuz that's how much I love her."

All of those things could be said about Lauren: Saying goodbye to her doesn't feel right; he wants her in his life; he doesn't want to say goodbye to her, all of which explains the reason that he doesn't.

Also, the "cuz that's how much I love her" could be that Ben explains, "I had to do x, y, z for Lauren, cuz that's how much I love her."

Watching this season, Ben is chasing Lauren (all those special moments since night 1), and an old sleuther once said, "Watch who the lead is chasing." If he starts to chase JoJo, then maybe the idea that he "switches" holds water, but at this point, JoJo and Ben still feel very "on script" to me. If only we could see Ben and La talk about something otther than the great first date though.

If he continued to date both after filming I think he would choose Lauren over JoJo. They seem like a better long term match JMO
