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

There's some heavy stuff floating around here and Twitter too about Jojo's rep at Baylor. Not flattering . But it's bypassed here so......

Well, I guess the F2 both have skeletons in their closet.

I think this is true to an extent. IMO it would have been pretty hard to hide what was going on between Ben and Lauren especially since the other girls were seeing it and commenting on it. But I think we need to remember some things about TPTB. If they don't want us to see something, they edit it out (as they could have edited out the girls' comments - but they chose to show them). What they give us is what they want us to see, and if they want something that doesn't happen naturally, they will manufacture it so they can show it. They gave us Lauren on a silver platter, IMO, to make the ILY to JoJo all the more shocking and by the number of posts in this thread on the issue, they did a really good job of it.

After the horrible FD with Caila and a great FD with JoJo, there was no stopping him from sending Caila home.  Unfortunately for JoJo, I am thinking that his FD with Lauren and her finally telling him that she loved him, sealed the deal for him.  In his ITM the next morning he said, "that he was able to really get confidence in her feelings" and then in their conversation by the pool, he said, " I do love you. And last night really did help me know that more."  IMO, that time with Lauren made him realize the difference between love and lust.

I think this is a great way of explaining why Lauren's FD was filmed last and aired before JoJo's. I do agree that what happened on Lauren's FD put the show ending in the Gucci bag for Lauren but they want viewers to believe that he told JoJo he loved her after he told Lauren - thus appearing to trump what he said to Lauren; in fact the opposite was true.
JMHO

Are we sure this is her dog? Judging by the comments, and other pics in Chad's IG it's his dog. Why would she be posting a pic 2 hours ago of her ex's dog?

I wonder if JoJo reads this forum!!!  Sure is odd timing.

True , but I was intrigued that it was from a long time poster here . Someone that you may have posted with before . It just caught my eyes.
