Lucas, I hope this doesn't to against board rules, but I'm loving your posts! I think you are spot on in your read of this situation! Thanks!!

I think that by virtue of this upcoming episode and what Ben does .. And then kicks himself in the butt over .. The blindsiding piece is initiated .. Towards the finale .. The buildup starts .. JoJo will hear 3 words .. Her confidence level will rise .. As Laurens decreases .. At the finale JoJo is going to get wacked off the side of the head .. To the chagrin of Ben .. And the finale is going to come down to the wire .. And it all starts Monday night

I dont think they are a closer match than the lamps at Lauren's

Ben picked Lauren, and he picked well. I'm guessing they are fine.
IRL, I don't think JoJo is over her ex, and I don't think she's compatible with Ben, nor would he fit with her family. I don't think it would have taken long for either JoJo or Ben to figure that out. I think he and Lauren have moved on from this long ago, and are just bracing themselves dor the fall out on television. And if I'm wrong, oh well. I liked their love story while it lasted!

Agreed!  Jojo is my favorite character this season but I agree with all of this and don't doubt Ben chose Lauren and that was the right choice for everyone.  But I'm still going to enjoy the rest of Ben and Jojo too because I heart them together on the show, feel more invested in her than Lauren at this point, which usually happens to me with F2s so I guess TPTB's editing totally works on me.   I think/hope Ben and Lauren will be great together in real life.

I haven't mastered the liking of F2  over the F1. Even if I was wrong, I can't reverse my thinking . I find it refreshing that it's possible as per your comments, Relaxing. There's hope for me yet!

I think they're a perfect match. Like exact. Only difference is that in JoJo's FS, the desk lamp is next to lantern, so it's lit from the outside as well as the inside, whereas there's no lamp near it in the ILY clip, so only the inside is lit by the candle. They're not a permanent feature of the rooms though, just usual Bachelor props, because they can't have a night scene without a dozen candles around. I saw some tea light holders with a similar design in this pic from Sandals Ochi, so those lanterns are probably the resort's as well.

Has this been confirmed? If so provide confirmation, otherwise the post gets deleted.

I got rid of it. Sorry about that. I can get really intense and apologize for that.
