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

Eviebloom wrote:Lauren B. is coming across so delightful this season.  She understands that this is the bachelor and  is making good friends in the house and even said something like that if it was Amanda that she would be happy for her, even though sad for herself.  Also I think Ben and Lauren just have it.  Sometimes people have to really try to have "it" with someone, but those two just spark together in a good way.  I like Lauren B.'s patience.  However, as feelings grow so does emotion.  Her crying is real in many ways and understandable, including:  stress, her feelings of love for Ben are stronger and she is more invested.  She also may cry easily, so do I. I think she is a really lovely person on this season.  I hope that this does end in a really great love story for Ben and Lauren B.

IMO, this was all producer drive because it's so obvious it's going to be Lauren. I am going to guess Lolo and Ben spent more time alone on that beach then we were shown to shake up the girls like that. It's a huge clue JoJo isn't F1. If she was, he wouldn't be acting like that with her on that date. It's pretty clear the spoilers about the girls seeing the writing on the wall and being upset about it.

No way he hadn't spoken to her before then! Even the slimiest of bachelors would have! No man can handle a girl crying. I'm just guessing they chose not to show it.

Exactly what I thought too!
What I saw this episode - I'm the oh so sweet innocent Lauren B, how could people throw me under the bus? So It's a necessary move to cry because a sweet girl like me is hurt. And even though I know it's my game to lose, I have to act all innocent and ask my "besties" why Leah targeted me.

Phony, yes, very much. I really cannot stand a girl like this.
