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

^^^ I think so, too. It seems that we are being shown in the preview that friends will support Lauren while many were all to happy to agree that Olivia has issues (lack of self-awareness being the biggest IMO). And Lauren appears to be "blindsided" (one of the words of the season, it seems) by the accusation- causing the emotion IMO. Good for Ben to discern (at least I think he's going to) between the two.... I think it has been said upstream (and by him) that he had no use for drama- so if the girls who brought it or were part of it seem to have been shown the door pretty quickly.

Aw love lauren with the pigs, wouldn't be surprised if she is vegetarian or vegan.

Based on her Instagram and Twitter, she's not. She also said she wasn't vegan on Twitter a few days ago.

Obviously one of the girls bringing Lauren up to Ben doesn't alter the relationship very much or cause him to turn away from Lauren and start to grow closer to other girls... She gets the very next one on one after all this goes down at the group date. I think it has been very clear that she isn't different in the house. The girls all get along with her. I just can't imagine who would say that (possibly leah) and what example they would give... Obviously it's due to jealousy and trying to stir the pot.

In the conversation between JoJo and Leah at the evening portion of the group date last week, when they discussed that they feel like he is singling someone else out, do you think they were speaking in general, or were they talking in reference to Lauren B? I know Reality Steve said it became obvious to the girls his feelings for Lauren B and was wondering if you all think it occurred this soon or if that was just a general conversation not specifically aimed at anyone.

It's hard to be sure if they were speaking of Lauren or just having a conversation about any given girl that we would spend time with on a date. I would assume they could feel the connection or see the connection between Lauren and Ben. I'm sure they were the topic of discussion a lot or at least a constant worry in their minds!

I'm just really interested in seeing how all this plays out! Obviously he gets over it but it'll still be interesting to see what is going on and who said something to Ben. I hope he shuts it down real fast!

I suppose it's possible that he was singling her out... and tptb made it appear that it was Olivia he was singling out... which by the end of that group date, I think he was starting to believe she was not the one- and she was on borrowed time. The drama just sped that up a little. So tptb could take things said about anyone and make it appear that anyone fit the description, in this case, Lauren.... and then they found someone who would do their dirty work (who knows what they promised).

I never understand why they just don't do so. Follow them all and like stuff from all. The only reason not to might be that the poor lead is overwhelmed by all the SM stuff from these contestants who seem to live their life on SM. I only have FB and about 40 friends and I seriously wish some of them would just stop posting. Where do they find the time?

But in the other hand, all these women, obviously to different degrees, are Ben's (or any leads) exes. Especially with the top 2/3, it's probably in his/their best interest not to follow on social media. For lots of reasons, but especially to help foster relationship with F1, and to make it harder to think about what ifs, or contacting others. Just not a good idea to follow exes on social media.... Just not.

Only for the duration of the show...not for all eternity!

As the mother of a high school SENIOR girl, let me assure you that those are not high school girls.

Seriously you'd think they're making them swim with sharks the way some of them are carrying on...including Ben!

I think some of the big ones were pretty aggressive. I'd be freaking out too!

I know, right! Jojo was running like they were gonna eat her and all they wanted was the wieners. Becca and Ben looked petrify and Lauren/Lo is all about cuddling the little ones.

I did notice Lauren cracking up as she was coming out from the sea. Probably watching the shenanigans
