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

Does Ben get to plan the dates from here on out? Does he have control over who goes on which date?

When I looked at the disney pics, there weren't any kissing ones. Could you reply back with the link and how to find the kissing pics?

Added the link. Make sure to click on "Load More" in the EPISODIC section.

I agree! Lauren B seems very genuine and authentic to me and on the same wavelength as Ben. They even both talked about how crazy it is to fall in love on a first date and have consistently just been able to be themselves with each other. It seems like they will be building on their relationship even more on their next date which I am looking forward to see!

Btw: I love your avi!

woah that kissing pic with the kids...aren't these the kids that he mentors? very interesting. he must be proud to be seen with her for him to be so affectionate in his hometown standing amongst kids he mentors... as someone who has a "mentoring/advisor" relationship with younger people I find that to be a telling move -- i.e. taking a girl/guy you're dating and being infront of your mentees and being so affentionate.
in the pic of him walking in with her to a place he's spent so much time volunteering he has a beaming smile.

The kids faces in this pic are priceless!!

You need to click on "load more" at the bottom of the set of pictures.

Not all the pics appear straight away. Go to http://www.disneyabcpress.com/abc/shows/the-bachelor/episodes/2007-2/photos/ , scroll down and under the last row (just above BTS), click on "Load more " and keep doing that until Load more stops appearing. last pic available (before the BTS) should be "PAUL GEORGE (INDIANA PACERS), GEORGE HILL (INDIANA PACERS), FRAN"

How do you guys get them to copy to bring over here? I cannot figure it out! They are adorable pictures!

That seems like such a cool date and event. Can't wait to see it on screen.

Ben and Lauren remind me of Tim and April, except Whitney is April! I think Lauren was all in like Whitney, but smarter --- She made Ben "work" too, by chasing her and vice versa. It's so obvious that Ben was into her very early on, he still had a " job" to do which was dating 25 women at the same time. Not an easy task!

I think this couple will last because Ben is a genuine guy so I don't think he'd propose to Lauren if he wasn't in love with her. I think there will be another TV wedding in the near future for these two.

Nothing would make me happier!!

So… do we think Ben and Lauren (if the spoiler is true) will spend Valentines day together? If so he should be on the move soon, or maybe she should "work" to be less obvious :cutesmile!:

If they end up together, his volunteerism will continue no doubt. It also allows Ben to see Lauren in action with children. He'll witness her maternal instinct; as a bonus, kids, as opposed to peers, are the greatest sleuths of all when it comes to a person's character. They just know when they experience real. Lauren also loves basketball. Lastly, she meets his friends!

I see Ben chasing Lauren hard and doing whatever he can to affirm her. After seeing her cry last week, he gives her one of the best dates he possibly could. Ben said on their first date, "I want this girl to really know me" (paraphrase). He's no doubt doing just that, IMO.

And this is why I believe she HAD TO KNOW that she wasn't going home at this RC. It was supposedly completely obvious to all the girls right? We've heard that over and over from this episode, from RS during filming and the vids and photos of their date in Warsaw. She also just spent the day with most of these women and Ben on an island where no one could go off and be alone, so she is able to see all of his interactions and compare it to her own as well as just a week(ish) before, the special quality time in Mexico City. 

I don't believe Lauren is dumb, she's not deep from what I've seen, but she's definitely not dumb and Ben is positively having trouble hiding his feelings in front of her and the other girls. So I have no doubt that she is aware that Ben likes her a LOT, that is why her words, I'm going home you guys, are not considered genuine to me.
