This is so true. whoever the lead is chasing always end up as the final one. this has yet to fail.

Eh, Chris definitely didn't chase Whitney at all but did chase Becca. Des chased Brooks. Deanna chased Graham. And, so forth. You can argue that maybe all of these were supposed to be F1s, but they certainly didn't end up as the final one.

I also think that Ben has chased Jojo quite a bit too. From the very first group date, he singled her out and asked to get alone time for her. Also, she never really begged for validation like others did; in fact, she seemed pretty resigned to her non-winner status until Ben started throwing out things like ILY, I'll never blindside you, I always knew we would end up here, etc. IMO.

Jojo just posted a pic of her dog on Instagram

I don't remember exactly what he said but it was something like if she wants to talk about her dog.. it was so random to bring up to me and it was fast and his face seemed like oh crap I shouldn't have said that. What he said too me rang true to Jojo not Lauren.

As with most of the "clues", I think his reference to the dog could go either way-point to JoJo as F1 or Lauren as F1.  If JoJo, the dog she shares custody of with ex., how uncomfortable that is, she loves the dog etc.  If Lauren, talking about the beloved family dog she still misses and grieves over.  JMO but I think it could be interpreted either way.

I got a totally different read on his answer. The guy asked him if they had talked about kids so I took it as they talked about maybe getting a dog first .

I rewatched it just now and had the same read on it as you....he was asked if they'd talked kids yet and he threw in dogs first, not that he sits and talks about her dog with her in the present time. Jmo

Maybe they're planning to move in together after the show and are discussing a puppy. He can't say puppy because that's a dead give away. I'm looking for a Maltese puppy but tell friends if they hear of a Maltese dog, let me know . Just a thought.

I think Jojo is trolling to be honest.

Can you clarify what you mean?

I might have used the wrong word, sorry. I mean that she is trying to make people think he was talking about her dog?
I don't know that's just what I think, I could definitely be wrong.

Ok, besides the dog thing which is ambiguous at best, do we have any other clues post filming to point to JoJo F1? Cause for the ONE dog not-a-real-clue, I can think of lots of solid Lauren F1 clues.

I honestly don't see Ben picking anyone else like I will be legitimately shocked if he does.

I love your word, legitimately . That's a word Lauren uses a lot too.

OK this guy is so friking happy and certain about his relationship its almost scary and beautiful at the same time. I feel like bEN is pretty smart and wouldnt be throwing confident vibes for no reason knowing hes in the public eye and will get backlash for when things go wrong. BUT honestly that is why im confident they will make it. Im so happy like i am 99% sure its Lauren so like YAS. Btw the whole article about Lauren and alcohol that is so sad, it always happens and its sad cause its character assasination which is so wrong. I dont believe it for a second cause if you recall Ben repeat multiple times that he knows after talking to her family that she is level headed and knows what shes doing, doesnt get into relationships unless she sees a potential etc. and her whole family cant be actors just lying for no damn reason. Look at her and Mollies ig, a person that close to her family and with thsoe values cant be sitting by the pool and drinking and working at the same time and fiinish school. NOPE i dont think thats how it works

Lauren is my girl, I've never been this attached to the bachelor before.
