The Bachelor 20 - Ben Higgins - Women Tell All -*Sleuthing - Spoilers*

I guess Ben didn't "blindside" JoJo, just hurt her twice. "Oh BTW I love Lauren too, in case you thought you had it in the bag, but I'm in love with you so please stick around". Two days later: "I do really love you, I meant it, but I love Lauren more". Nice one.

Can anyone who recorded the show, post word for word what Amanda said. I know part of it was "Ben is going to be a great daddy and I'm happy for him". This was after Ben said he's happiest he's ever been and would marry that girl (his F1) tomorrow. To me that was the biggest clue it's Lauren, Amanda could not stop smiling, I think if Ben broke Lauren's heart, and/or was with JoJo, Amanda she would not have been so nice to him, JMO Thanks, y'all are the best.

I wonder if he told her because JoJo asked him. Yikes! This will be a hard finale to watch.

They hid on a bathroom floor because in reality tv they are told that the only place they have real privacy is the bathroom. This I know because my daughter dated a reality tv editor for many years.  They were hoping not to be overheard. Both parties(Ben and JOJO are reality tv vets)

Thanks Kasha. Things just got REALLY interesting. We're talking real love now.

I didn't get to see the preview, but it sounds like a doozy!

Ben could be a nice guy & could be the script from the onset that he falls in love with both F1 & F2. But as has been stated, it's completely messed up & unfair to both girls. Regardless of how him & his F1 are doing now, the bubble will burst starting next Monday....good luck to Ben & his F1. The F2 most likely has moved on & she will get a lot of sympathy....all JMO

Someone else posted Amanda looked mad

No, I am relieved also. If he and his F1 talked about everything and were able to get past this, then I am happy for them!

Only when she forced it though. He told her he loved her multiple times and it was only when she was crying hysterically on a bathroom floor and straight up asked her that he admitted the truth. To me, that's not really being honest, just being resigned to the fact that the truth will get out so might as well fess to it. IMO.

As crazy as everything seems to get, BenLo found they way out of this mess. I'm curious to see how.

In Ben's WTA press interviews, he has stated that he told his F1 how conflicted he was right after he proposed and they got some alone time where she could process it all. This tells me that Ben never came out and told Lauren straightforward that he told Jojo he loved her until after they were engaged. I wonder why Ben didn't tell Lauren? Scared she'd leave? not accept his proposal if he chose her? I guess I give him credit for sticking to his word to Jojo and not blindsiding her.

Hmm I did hear something like that. But I also saw her reaction when the preview was aired. She seemed really pissed off. To me, in the WTA, Becca had the more pleasant disposition throughout. As to whether it has anything to do with the F1 we'll see.
