The Bachelor 20 - Ben Higgins - Episode 7 - Discussion - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

Ben's childhood home on the lake would make me want to marry him!

I love that his mom was so overcome with this amazing young lady that her son chose to bring home she started to cry. She probably thinks this is the embodiment of her failures as a parent and he's an only kid so it was her one chance to get it right.

You can just see how horrified his mother is listening to Emily prattling on about her dreams of being a young mom and an NFL cheerleader. I don't think those goals go well together.

I somehow think it was tptb idea that Emily meet the parents so it will come as a shock when he sends her home

Ben's mom

If Ben thinks he has a future with Emily at this point, then I can see why he was so confused in the end!

Right?! His home is amazing!!

Aww, I have a soft spot for Emily. She reminds me of my ex-flatmate who was 7 years younger than me. Just so young. At least she likes ducks!

Ben's mom was panicking.

I know what I don't want = you Emily.

Jade got to meet Chris's parents last year too on her 1-on-1.

This was strange to me, though, as it seems obvious he was always planning on dumping Emily.

I know that's what I meant, it started with CS season, weird.
