Does Ben Propose To JoJo On 'The Bachelor'? Fans Could Be In For A Shock

All season long it's felt like one thing is certain: Ben Higgins will propose to Lauren B. on The Bachelor. I mean, he's been obsessed with her since she stepped out of that limo and handed Ben his own pair of flight wings. But, as much as it's seemed like the show's narrative is moving towards a predictable ending, I don't believe we're in for the proposal we think we are. The Bachelor is never one to play its hand straight. (Remember when they aired Desiree saying she loved Brooks only to show us the next week that Brooks dumped her?) If it seems obvious that one thing will happen, it probably won't. And, the show's been leaning so heavily on the Ben/Lauren B. story all season that I think we're actually in for an ending featuring Ben and JoJo getting engaged. That's right, I think he's gonna pull a switcheroo, and so do the other ladies of Bustle's Bachelor podcast.

On this week's episode of Will You Accept This Podcast?, Romper TV Editor Allison Piwowarski and Bustle Entertainment Editor Kelsea Stahler attempted to explain Ben's thought-process in telling two women he loved them. Although Ben's been into JoJo almost as much as Lauren this whole time, he's had more doubts about her between her not "opening up" enough (ugh), her ex-boyfriend troubles (double ugh), and her family's intent on keeping Ben from breaking JoJo's heart. It would make sense if they didn't end up together. It would also make sense if he and Lauren end up together. But, The Bachelor doesn't always "make sense," which is why Allison and Kelsea believe, despite the season-long Lauren setup, Ben and JoJo are the ones that will leave the show happily ever after.

I'm not the only clueless one . I truly believe they end up together. So be it if I feel like a fool at the end. I enjoyed every bit of this season, the doubts, the anguish and the love they brought to my Monday nights.

This would explain why tptb cut so much from their Vegas date including much of the conversation on the sofa before the fireworks. And why we didn't see much of their conversation on the sofa of her condo and did they do anything after that, before dinner at her parents'? And I forget, what order did he tell his parents about the girls when he first met them at the café in Warsaw? If JoJo was first, that says something to me.

[Mommyof2]

^^ Becca was first. Then JoJo. And Lauren was somewhere in the middle. When Ben was talking about JoJo, his Dad smiled.

[Rolly]

SC's of Ben and Jojo's date are up: SC No Discussion Thread

As always, feel free to use them for avies, siggies or spreading some love here in the fan forum.

Love these screen caps of JoJo and Ben. They are the best match IMO. They just seem the most genuine with each other.

You are so funny! It's not the first time I've chosen the wrong F1. Whatever happens, happens, but I believe he really did fall in love with JoJo.

[aviej]

Glad, even though we are in the minority that we can share our thoughts, which seem so obvious to us. I hope she's the F1 despite all of the "spoilers" out there. To me, Ben just has more fun with JoJo. He seems more uptight and always struggling to win Lauren B. over all the time. But with JoJo, the chemistry is effortless, nothing contrived. I mean Lauren B. and Ben are very similar. They are both pretty dull personalities. But opposites attract. There is this undeniable effect that JoJo has on Ben where he just lets loose and he feels comfortable doing silliness around her. Around Lauren B. he always has to be this "perfect prince". To me, when choosing a partner, you want someone who you can easily let yourself go with. Plus, I'm sorry but did anybody else see that Ben was looking at Lauren's B's hair to se if she had extensions? I swear he saw her extensions. Anyways, on the other hand, he always seemed to be grabbing at JoJo's hair which seems more real to me. I know the topic of hair extensions is not really relevant and a bit silly, but JoJo is just the better bet all round.

[rhondam]

Being around JoJo makes Ben a better person imo. He seems happier, lighter, and at ease and secure in knowing that her feelings for him are genuine; he wouldn't be able to not feel loved by her. I think he sees how caring she is to others too and no doubt this would be important to him.

[Mommyof2]

I found it interesting how he sought her out in the Bahamas while they were swimming with the pigs. He wanted to know if she was okay. That conversation between them was real. They were discussing their feelings. Lauren B. sought him out, but he sought JoJo out. Just found that interesting.

[Jeepers]

But weren't JoJo and Becca a bit upset that he was paying too much attentions to Lauren??

[Guest]

I love everyone's thoughts and Agentcurls that pic is a beauty.  Ben has said several times he's most himself with Jojo and the Ben with her is the one I like most too.  I think it can't be underestimated how important it is to fee truly yourself with someone else when you're in love.  That doesn't happen easily or often.

I thought it was kind of endearing that Ben was checking in with JoJo that day in the water.
He seemed concerned that JoJo was pulling back a little. JoJo was honest with him and threw some empathy and support Ben's way, too. What a girl!
