You bet he did! I've always seen a strong connection with Ben and JoJo. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

I haven't watched this episode yet, but I've said it right before it aired tonight, Ben did seem annoyed in the preview when he was talking with Lauren. If I were him, I would be thinking "What more do you want? I have made it so obvious it is you and every girls see it too."

IMO, Lauren doesn't seem to be a sweet girlfriend, she wants to be the Queen, be pleased and validated. I can see how tough it could be for the Bachelor, considering the process is emotionally draining. And she has been playing the hard to get game from the start, been dancing in circle the whole time. One day she could see herself with Ben, another day she is terrified and want more validation. This cycle has been repeating the whole season!!! If I were Ben, I will be annoyed too!!

All my opinions.

He meant everything he was saying, but it just shows how crazy this show is and what it does to people!

The reaction on Twitter is so hilarious. Poor Ben..I hope they've given him a good script for his PR circuit.

JoJo's date and their interactions weren't all that different from what's been going on all season to me except she seemed a bit more relaxed once she received reassurance from him.

Even if he still chooses Lauren at the end (which I expect), the editing of the season has me so intrigued given what they knew was coming at the end.

Not only there's passion, but Ben loves being with Jojo also because he can be himself, laugh, joke etc...
It goes beyond the physical...

Nah I can't feel sorry for Ben. You get what you deserve when you sign up for this poop a second time. He got the woman of his dreams out of it, he got paid and he'll probably get to be on DWTS so he can suck it up. Was it everything you expected it to be, Ben?

All threads are now open.

And that's why I don't like rejects. Sometimes the second look is not as good as the first.

Pretty much all of the time, actually. Maybe the exception being Ashley Hebert for me. I liked her much better on her own season. Everyone else crashes and burns, especially the Bachelors.

Oh geez louise. Well that was something. I have been seeing glimpses of what others were seeing with Ben and Jojo and tonight it was certainly there and in my face. Her face after he said he loved her too was so incredible I think I fell in love with Jojo. It is going to be hard to watch her get dumped in what looks like a wedding dress. After that episode I just.... we are CERTAIN he's engaged? Last thing I'll say is many here say the Final 1 has doubt and Final 2 is confident and man Jojo is confident and they actually gave voice to some Lauren doubt which is, quite frankly, shocking because she got as many I love you's as Jojo. Wow. Also I noticed in the preview when he said propose to one they showed Jojo and let one go they showed Lauren. That to me smells of audience manipulation.
Yeah final thought: that was terrible.

does anyone know a link where i can watch the new episode online?
