Maybe he thought she was going to say ily then? Or maybe he's just really listening to her, or maybe that's not his reaction to her and that's his reaction to something someone else said. Ugh. I don't know. I don't like this new ily. He sounds really sincere.

Oh Ben.....  That was my first thought!  He looks a little sloppy to me!  And, that would totally explain CH's little quip about not him even realizing he had said it until they told him!

Honestly, I think this is exactly what happened. We know that the "I've known that I'm in love with you for a while, as well" is to Lauren, yes? Is that the one with the blonde hair in the corner? I'm getting all confused. Anyways, that looks like the grey collared shirt he's wearing at their FD dinner. And then the "I do love you" is definitely to her also -- navy blue v-neck t-shirt that he's wearing the morning after the FD. Both of those ILYs were completely intentional. So if CH said one of the ILYs just slipped out without Ben even realizing it, then by the process of elimination it has to have been the new, possibly drunken "I love you" which is presumably to JoJo. Ack. As a Ben/Lauren fangirl I think I'm going to be cringing through this episode.

Me too! We'll need drama-mine for sure. I can see why FRC would be so crazy for him. Guess it's his journey to unravel but I don't feel like I'm on a train anymore if Jojo gets 2nd girl ily, I'll feel like I'm on a roller coaster called Punch Drunk Love.

Maybe after his goof up with saying ILY to 2nd woman (who I think is JoJo), he tells Lauren what he did, and emphasizes to Lauren "I love you
.???
