On bachelor you REALLY can't find out if you are really good for each other. They aren't allowed to discuss religion, politics, social issues etc, right? How can you completely open up to someone when you can't talk about life outside the bach bubble? So I praise the contestants who can somewhat keep it realistic and their heads out if the bubble.

Of course they are! I believe JP and Ash had long convo on the fact that he is Jewish for example. 
But ABC will never show these, or very rarely when goes with the story (ie. Becca and Ben talking about faith because it links to her virginity)

Well I learn something new every day! Thanks! I don't know where I got the idea they aren't allowed to, but I've thought that for years. It's a pity they don't show any of these conversations, because that's where you can see if you you're any kind of match.

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.

I've been watching her closely throughout the season and have always thought she was playing Ben. I was trying to like her because during filming I saw the chemistry between her and Ben on SM of their spoiled Warsaw date. Initially I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt thinking she was just being smart by getting her hooks into him early with her flirting but I've had a bad feeling about her already when she was giving Ben the wing pin and then completely since her "bs speech" in episode 2 and even more so on their 1 on 1 in Ep 3. I did see a photo of them dancing and it was her looking into Ben's eyes that wasn't aired that I think Elan took and I thought, maybe she really does fall for him too. But yeah no, I don't like her and haven't since the beginning and my unspoiled daughter gets the same vibe from her.
