The Bachelorette - Season 12 - JoJo Fletcher - General Discussion - *Sleuthing - Spoilers* - #2

From every single interview I watched and I watched a lot of them Ben knows he made the right choice in choosing Lauren and has no regrets.

I think both Ben and Lauren are happy for JoJo to have her chance to find love on the Bachelorette.  They said they will enjoy watching from their TV and are glad to be able to just be viewers.

Is it possible that Ben didn't know JoJo was the next lead? The rumors were out there and he's close to the decision makers on the show. He made his choice with Lauren but having feelings for JoJo wouldn't surprise me. JoJo said she would always have a place in her heart for Ben. I would imagine he feels the same way. It wouldn't diminish his love for Lauren IMO. Old loves are bittersweet.

Rolly, he said in a recent interview , he didn't know because he's not involved in those decisions . I think aol interview . I forget. Ita that he might have respect and good memories for Jojo. But, he's certainly not hung up on her anymore as some might imagine or suggest . Imo

Being involved in making the decision is different than knowing about the decision. I think Ben's saying he wasn't involved in the lead decision is because he has gotten so many questions about not going with Caila or anyone else seen as a more culturally diverse choice. He seems to be tired of being asked.

The only one that knows how Ben felt when JoJo was announced is Ben.

JoJo IMO is a great pick for the next lead. I think she will draw a lot of viewers to the show.

Exactly.

Everyone loves JoJo...well, not everyone!

Lol so if only Ben knows then it's even more interesting the suggestions that he still laments Jojo, showing vids and everything . What Ben knows is what some like me are taking away from his recent interviews . He has moved on from Jojo, and Jojo will move on from Ben.

Personally, I still love most of my exes, just in a non-romantic way. It is okay to have a tiny moment of shock at hearing that they are moving on only four months after the break up, doesn't mean you want them back, just that you are human.

Ben is happy, Lauren is happy and JoJo is thrilled to be the 'ette all is good.

We saw Chris disrespect Whitney by hanging on to Jade at WTA and Becca at AFTR. This was not that IMO.

ETA, JoJo has moved on from Ben. She is moving forward and happy. She has wished them the best and even acknowledged that Ben and Lauren had an immediate connection they did not. JoJo is in no way trying to win Ben back. We have seen that in the past and it is not happening here. JMO.

Honestly, Ben's F3 seem to like and respect each other. It is nice.

I find it very interesting in this article http://variety.com/2016/tv/news/the-bachelor-ben-higgins-lauren-bushnell-television-wedding-dancing-with-the-stars-1201730029/

When Ben was asked

Will they be live-tweeting JoJo’s season of “The Bachelorette,” like other alums of the franchise have done?

“I’ll be a fan of the show,” Higgins said. “Let’s talk about that in May and see how we’re doing with that because it does take an emotional toll,” he said, explaining that watching Fletcher’s journey will be difficult to watch, but also exciting. “I think we’ll see.”

If everyone has moved on why would one respond this way?

omg guys jojo has her show now and ben has lauren. lets talk about how jojo is going to kill it this season!

I love that Lauren said she and JoJo had a phone conversation about everything and then would check in with each other here there and that they were supportive of each other. For two young women in their mid twenties, they are definitely mature and classy.

This is great to hear. I'm sure it helped to talk everything through. It sounded like they were friends during the show. Mature and classy I agree!

Good to hear. Just like Whitney and Becca. I like it better when the F2 like each other.
