Host Chris Harrison on Bachelor Ben Higgins Telling 2 Women He Loves Them: That's ‘Not Something You Can Script'

It was definitely a caught-on-camera, impromptu feeling and emotion," Harrison said. "I mean, honestly if he had come to me and asked my opinion I probably would have said: 'Don't do that!' But he just left himself go, in that moment, which is a special, wonderful thing."

As for the finale, which will air March 14, Harrison said "what's going to happen now is so deep and so emotional that I think it's just incredible to watch."

"You've seen how emotional Ben gets – he does pull at least a ¾ Mesnick," Harrison said. "He really narrowed it down to two women that he loves and he knows that he's going to hurt somebody and he knows that he's going to lose somebody he loves."

What qualifies as 3/4 of a Mesnick?

I believe he is referring to the emotional throwing oneself over the balcony, but no switcheroo.  Jmo.

I love this, Lucas...but, wouldn't Ben have already heard from Lauren before his FD with Jojo (she supposedly was last).

It is possible he did love both women, but loved Lauren more and couldn't let her go...like we've heard from vo's and previews. It may be just that clear cut.

We will see JoJo's FD aired last but IMO it was not filmed last - IMO filming order was Caila (11/7) JoJo (11/9) and Lauren (11/11). There just wasn't enough time for a FD and day off before 11/7, so Ben could not have heard anything Lauren says until after he had already had two other FD. And IMO it was the producers (not Lauren's Dad's concerns) that kept Lauren from telling Ben she's in love with him on the HTD as she had planned.

One other thing to consider as we watch the FD next Monday. Many previous leads have described how stressful this part of filming is. Weight loss, skin breakouts, hair loss and physical and emotional exhaustion are just a few of the things I've heard them mention. The show could make this easier on the lead but they don't want to - they want the lead stressed out and vulnerable to their manipulations. IMO we should expect to see some changes - and weirdness - in Ben's body language from now on because of the state he's in now and those changes started with the first FD on 11/7.
