Poor Ben... it definitely seems he doesn't want to advertise the last 2 episodes, but it's inevitable. I still remember the look he gave when CH first aired the clip about loving 2 women in bachelor after live. ..so sheepish like oh oh

I wouldn't want to be in his place right now, it's not his fun for sure.

He's busy in safe house with Lauren at the moment. He'll promote the show on Twitter at some point, cause he has to. But he's with his woman right now; give him time.

Ben favorited this tweet

Ben, saying I love you is powerful. Can't wait to see how it turns out. I sure hope you find someone who makes you happy!!

Not on camera though and then when JP told her he was madly in love with her on their LCD, it was obvious she felt he same, but nothing about loving him was said back.  They normally have to wait until the FRC or if something gets said it's not aired.  I remember being pretty shocked that they showed Brad reply to Emily that he wasn't going to not say something back because he was falling in love with her too. It's one of my fav Bachelor moments, even though I wasn't a fan.  I just loved that Brad did it, despite knowing he shouldn't.

It's pretty rare to show a lead saying I love you or even I'm falling for you early from my recollection. I realize there are a couple of examples, but it is not the norm and is a valid thing to base their promotion on as something we don't usually see, if you're the producers, IMO.

I recall CH saying during a press interview( sorry, going by memory and have no link to provide), after Des was shown saying she was falling in love with Brooks, that it wasn't an unusual occurrence. He said some of the leads had said ILU before the FRC but they choose not to air it.

I suppose they decide to air this one because Ben said it to both F2 ladies and they knew they had hit a ratings, storyline jackpot.

I could have sworn I read an interview, possibly with CH, mentioning that there were many ILY's dropped this season by multiple women because Ben is such a catch.

Is this your opinion, wishful thinking, or do you have confirmation this is true?

^^^I believe lauren was seen working today?? Maybe they spent one night together and she had work today.

Maybe Ben is still in LA waiting for her to done her shift.
