My observation of the Preview of the FRC.  When Ben was coming taking about the woman he wanted to marry, he mentioned that he didn't want to lose her and then pulled out his cellphone.  My question was, why did he think that he may lose Lauren?  But, it made sense to me if he was referring to Jojo and she had just left.  That's just one way of looking at it, imo.

Ben already happily said, no switch. He was confident of his final choice . If he called Jo back, how is that confident ? Imo, it doesn't, and it didn't happen with a change of heart in any way.

Company line.  Remember that Ben said that he chose the woman that he knew he could not live without.  So, imo Ben realized that he couldn't live without Jojo once he let her go.

No, I see him letting Jojo go and then starts really thinking about things before Lauren arrives and he begins to realize that he can't let Jojo go, so he calls his/her handler (maybe??) to stop Jojo before she gets to far.  In the meantime, Lauren shows up and Chris H. makes a point of asking Lauren if she is ready to be Ben's wife, which would make her believe that she is F1.  To me, this is where the "blindsided" comes into play.  As always, it's just my opinion.

Does CH actually say that? I don't recall him ever saying that. Interesting speculation.

Yes, CH did ask Lauren that before he walked her to the RC.

It was before the FD RC.

I know it appears he has had his heart set on Lauren all season. And perhaps he really CAN'T live without her.
But it does seems like he has had a very hard time letting JoJo go, too...especially after that HTD.
