Question - who's getting married on Sunday's show?

That was Peyton who was left on the air chart carrier by Dr Andy...

Haha of course not. Sorry I was just joking - I didn't really make that clear.

I'm late to the game here but is anyone else besides me starting to get a weird feeling about Lauren B.? I felt something seemed off even before Leah's comments tonight.  I love her chemistry with Ben, but I watch her closely in the group settings and I'm noticing little things that are starting to make me wonder about her. Some of it might be editing, but I'm getting a negative vibe from her lately.  I'm starting to wonder now if her and Ben will actually last or if Lauren might be in it more for the fame and recognition.

I have been talking about that since the premier, and only Rhonda joined me the last few weeks.
I know Ben really likes her, I too want to see a true love story unfolding, but what I always question is her authenticity.

-It appeared that the only 3 genuine girls are Caila, Becca and JoJo. They seem to tell Ben how they feel without pretending that ALL is well.

-I dunno. I'm not on Lauren B train. I see that she is very strategic in trying "to win". She gives a little and then pulls back, so Ben is interested. It's like "Oh, I really like you Ben and can see our future....oh, BUT I'm so picky....so chase me" (). She's definitely cool,collected, and somewhat a mystery, which is very attractive to most men.
IF he chooses her, they will last a few months....I don't doubt that she wants Ben, but once the chase wears off, I don't see it lasting. I can't put my finger on it. It's just too nicey, nicey, like warm pee; Not realistic, I think.
-The best choice (so far)is JoJo for Ben. They have chemistry and friendship. They both seem to be on the same page. As for JoJo's wild days.....almost everybody has them in college. It's called learning and GROWING up.

Emily needs to go. Too immature and needy. I'm glad Olivia is gone....It seems that the girls are very catty this season. I'm tired of Emily whining.

I absolutely agree with everything you said.  These 3 are smart enough to call him out just as Jubilee did.
It all well and good he likes Lauren B but dont expect the others to be okay with it without shutting down.
This is the same reason Jubilee shut down and went home. Ben isnt at this point open to giving another woman a chance which may or may not be a mistake on the long run. After all Sean only noticed Cathering in week 5 or 6 and I remember all the other bachelors telling him to be open.
I dnt imagine he would have a very easy WTA with the ladies watching it all back. He knda is doing what Tm in Bach AU did to Rochelle.

Ben can like and decide its Lauren without making the extra push to make the other women invest their emotions and fall for him when he knows he will dump them. Some will say its the premise but he could have remaned open and make a decision based on the most progressed relationship.

Lauren I really cant get a feel on, she is clearly putting on an act. Did anyone notice her smug lok when Ben was talking to Olivia at the RC?

Cant wait for the season to be gone.

Yay, I thought I'm one of two who is watching a different show, now I'm happy to see there are a few of you who also thought Lauren is playing games.
