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

I think this sort of goes along with my upthread post where I theorized that we haven't really seen (yet) what's going to happen when Lauren's guard crumbles. Therefore something CH said in this interview when he talked about the group of girls going into this episode was very interesting to me:

Becca was my wild card, Caila was my dark horse 'cause I just see this interesting connection between them, JoJo makes his life easy, and there's a lot to be said at the end of the day for the girl that makes your life easy - in life and on the show.Just throwing it out there. You noticed this last week; she always diffuses everything and just stops and lets him breathe, makes everything OK and there's a lot to be said for a woman who makes you fetl like that. And then Lauren; there's this undeniable chemistry between him and Lauren and I don't think we've seen that really explode yet. In my mind that's where I have these girls.

Where CH has the girls is Lauren with the physical edit, traditionally the F2 girl, and Jojo as the girl who makes his life a good one, the F1.
My guess is that he knows that we know this and that's why he is throwing that type of language out there. They are always trying to fool us. This is one of their ways to confuse and "amaze" us.
I keep going back to the comment that Ben allegedly made to his friends when they were at the bar in Warsaw: he told his friend that he was surprised that he "really liked this girl."

I wonder whose date will be shown first Lauren or Jojo

There is a new preview shows tonight and tomorrow

I say Lauren's. In the preview below, it already shows Emily missing from the RC lineup. No secret there.

From the episode description (page 1 of this thread and likely the way they will show it) it will be:

Lauren B
JoJo
GD (Amanda, Becca and Caila)
Emily

When he said there's a lot to be said at the end of the day for the girl that makes your life easy, in life and on the show, under his breath he said, just throwing that out there, blushing a bit, as if he realized he was giving something away. The first thought that crossed my mind was, he was talking about his own personal feelings, and maybe about Andi? It just didn't sound right.

I didn't see that when I transcribed it - only that he did seem to go on and on - and on and on and on - about JoJo. Trying to make a good case for her was my initial reaction but you have a point - he could have been personalizing that thought.

Imo, a lot of men might think that and could explain why they take mistresses.

SCs from latest preview

TO me it looks like Caila thinks she's going home in those caps.

In that vein....I was wishing that in the Q and A someone would have asked him about the Andi rumors and his current relationship status.    
I like to give CH a hard time but I did appreciate his gratefulness for what the Franchise and life in general had blessed him with.  His comments in this area seemed entirely sincere.
