I could def see Lauren's sister going on the show next season...just a though. She seems pretty confident in front of the camera, and mybe a little more outgoing than Lauren. I'm sure she could easily get cast if she wanted. Kind of like Carly did after her brother was on.

Yeah, I feel really bad for those kids. Their mom's gone for a month and then comes back with all these strange people and cameras. This is why parents shouldn't go on this show. The kids didn't sign up for this crap.

Unfortunately, for better or worse, these two girls aren't the first, and certainly won't be the last young children on this thing. Most notably Ty, Rikki and Camilla, but there have been others. Of all these single parents to go on the show, only Emily ever became F1. She also didn't have the baggage of an ex-partner. This isn't a realistic setting for anyone to fall in love for real, let alone a person with a young child or two. Too much to work out; too many other people intimately involved. Just stay home moms and dads!

Not that it has to be as disastrous as Jojo's has the potential to be from what they're showing, which IMO, more than likely means it won't be near as bad as they want us to think. But I'm wondering if there won't be some little conflict for her to worry about at the RC and them have to resolve next epi...

Something like...
1. Ben ask's Lauren's dad for his approval and doesn't get it at that point in filming.
2. Mollie or the parents give him a hard time about her being 1 of 4 and her having such strong feelings, getting hurt, leading her own, etc. Leaving him to worry that she'll withdraw/walls start coming back up or want out, etc. And her to worry that he'll cut her before she can talk to him or something silly.

Nothing that can't be overcome, just something to cast doubt for him, her and the viewing audience. I don't know, maybe they actually are serving up a love story on a silver platter for us, but for some reason I get the feeling that it's not all smooth sailing. I mean this is TPTB after all... they aren't nice and have hearts and just give us what we want...a real love story out in plain site, not hidden and no drama. JMO.

To add to the possible conflicts, maybe Lauren's mom isn't able to be there at her HTD (I don't think we've seen her in any previews). Not necessarily a big conflict but it could be. Ben wouldn't be able to ask both parents for her hand in marriage. Then, maybe the person Ben is calling at the FRC is her mom, to ask? Just trying to expound upon your possible conflicts Hugesmile

We see Lauren crying so I think her conflict is the wake up call her dad and sister gives her regarding the fact there are at that time, 3 other girls left and that she can't go in this happy go lucky because of that . There could still be heartache in it for her. From this point on, she can't be with the other girls to at least get a feel of what's happening with them.

IA, I feel like she was really able to share her feelings with Amanda and she doesn't have that going forward. JMO

Wait when was she crying

Edit
One of the SC's.

Might have been from when Emily was let go. Same lumberjack shirt. The struggle will still be the fact she's separated from the others . Now her real isolation can play mind games especially when she knows he's on a romantic date with another . That's the mind game all three will face imo. At least every day prior, she had time with Ben, but not so now.

This just looks like a bad vibe. Walking away before your intended gets in the car. Should be interesting .
