The Bachelor 20 - Ben Higgins - F1 to F4 - *Sleuthing - Spoilers* - #2

I'm really confused and Mike Fleiss, the engineer of confusion, is at his best this season because I've never been this in doubt about my chosen F1 before.  I do hope it is Lauren but the things that fester doubt in my mind are:

- Lauren has been traveling to far away places with her family. She seems to be drawing support from her fam. This is he biggest red flag for me because I find it strange that if you're the F1 coming off from the TV show and trying to make it in the real world with the guy who put you through hell and back, I would think you won't go to such places that are so far away for long periods of time without your guy.  There's a very somber feel to her IG while very upbeat in Jojo's.

- I can't fit the phrase "saying goodbye to her doesn't feel right and it's the biggest mistake I have made" except if a switch indeed happens

- The reference to Mesnick is so palpable that makes it hard to ignore and believe it's only about the emotional meltdown. Maybe not to the extent of waiting for the AFTR for the switch but it happens during that FRC. They even seated Ben next to Jason at Jade and Tanner's wedding!

- The very emotional and heartfelt ILY to Jojo that we haven't seen yet. If that was said during the LCD, I can't see him proposing to Lauren in a few days.

- In the goodbye preview, I would have expected Ben's head bent lower if he's saying goodbye to Jojo because she's way shorter than him even with heels on.

Sorry to encourage doubt in those that are confident in Lauren being F1. I really hope I am wrong. I am an eternal pessimist so I don't end up being disappointed when something goes wrong but pleasantly surprised if things go my way!

I have another question - has it been sleuthed that the woman he called is Lauren becauseit sounds like her. I just don't know for what reason would he call her.

IMO (and I have no proof) her family travels quite a bit- together.  With Lauren and her sister both working for the airline, travel isn't too costly.... but considering their pictures were at the Halekulani on Oahu, which is one of the most exclusive hotels on the island, I think her family can afford the travel they do.  They are just a close family IMO.
