The Bachelor 20 - Ben Higgins - ATFR - *Sleuthing - Spoilers* #3

Business Management

I thought both women look beautiful at AFTR and dressed to match their styles. Lauren has that long lean body I would love to have ever had. She wears tight clothes that emphasize how gorgeous her body is. JoJo has bombshell curves (whether God given or man made) and likes to show them off. Her choices don't bother me, I guess I wish I had had the confidence to flaunt mine when I was younger and had a hot body.

Personally, Lauren and JoJo seem okay with each other. Given Ben's constant verbal ILY diarrhea the final week, I find that a testament to both of them. Personally, I don't need to put down one to make the other better. Most important to me is that Lauren is happy, so honestly I feel okay watching them both and admiring them wearing clothes that are pretty spectacular.

I could totally see Lauren rocking the hot, cute vibe of Joanna from Fixer Upper and could see her and Ben doing something cute like that one day.

I am also looking forward to watching at least half of JoJo's guys act like horn dogs drooling over her body.

I expected to see Kaitlyn in a sheer dress over pasties and a g string last season, so maybe I just got numb to wardrobe choices.

Maybe I was harsh in regards to JoJo's dress on the AFTR.  I am not a fashion expert by any means.  I think that Ben and Lauren are a really good match, and I also want good things for JoJo.  I certainly want JoJo to have a great season.  But I was just put off with her dress, I want her season to be fun like her personality, but not too Hollywood or sleazy.   I want better for her than that.  But I am so far from Hollywood that I am sure I do not understand that style. Stuckinsc you have a way better sense of humor than I do.

I don't think JoJo's dress was tacky. It had long sleeves, so she was pretty covered up aside from the narrow slit across her cleavage. Lauren's no stranger to plunging necklines either, like the Jimmy Kimmel dress and the F3 RC dress. Also episode 5 RC dress, which had a punging neckline, long slit up her tigh and see through lacy bits.

I think they are very similar to these couples, they all seem very normal, down to earth kind of people (maybe not the most funny to watch because of that but in my opinion that better their odds). I also really like the fact that they will get away from the fame and LA, that also better their odds of making it.

Which interview was this in? I probably missed it as I've only watched the Aol one and the People one? TIA

Gosh. I forget cause they are all jumblng together, but Lauren mentioned Catherine has reached out to her a couple times to give her advice. Trista and Ryan also reached out to them multiple times. I also strongly suspect Des/Chris and Kaitlyn/Shawn were also giving them moral support. They both mentioned in that interview (I'll try to find it), that at times it felt like they were on an island, like no one could understand what they were dealing with. But these couples/people reaching out behind the scenes really made them feel not alone and really hopeful this works. I love that there are slowly more success stories now! It's like an exclusive little club. I think The Bach should capitalize and do a spin off with the success stories! Throw them in a house. I think it would be fun to watch. Haha. Too many have kids now, so prob not realistic.

I recently read two things: Ali said TPTB want the bachelorette to look somewhat toned down and innocent to appeal to the women of the viewing audience upon introduction AND Cary Fetman said JoJo feels prettier when she's dressed sexy.  I think JoJo's peek a boob dress was a hopeless attempt at achieving both.

I hope on JoJo's season she comes to the realization that she has much more to offer than being sexy.  I actually liked her the best when she allows her less rehearsed side to shine through.  That is the JoJo I hope to see as the Bachelorette.  Otherwise it is going to be a long contrived overly scripted journey.

I personally have no problem with a beautiful girl owning and showing off her sexy. Too many young women are made to feel physically inferior. Look at Olivia, the girl is gorgeous, but she feels too big and hates her legs. I thought she had strong sexy legs I would take over the toothpicks some of these girls have.

I have heard make all the money you can while you can. Well why not enjoy your hot body while you have it. Listening to Cat, who is stunning, cry to Sean that she feels less attractive and insecure to Sean on Marriage Bootcamp ticked me off. Cat is stunning and Sean is cute but not the handsomest guy. So why does Cat feel insecure about herself? I have come to appreciate letting younger woman own their sexy and feel good about it. They aren't stripping or doing nude pictorials (sorry Jade). So why not be proud of and enjoy your beauty? As long as it isn't the only thing you have then enjoy it.

As long as the sexy isn't all she has (major side eye at the twins), then show as much sexy as you want. I got the impression that JoJo had some goals and values too. So hey flaunt your sexy while you got it. Plus, I won't mind the shirtless men to match. JMO.

Andi was a little too much about her body and looks for me and I only watched the finale, but there was more to JoJo than the showing off her body right?

I do think other people have their own preferences when it comes to dressing up for women . I think I can understand why some people feel the need to say their opinions on women dressing up . So I respect that various opinions . I think I have no problem the way Lauren dressing up or jojo or other women chose to dressing up showing their skin . Of course they can dress whatever they want and confident to themselves. Also have to think that not everyone likes the idea of showing flesh when it comes to dressing up other women it's okay others not . Jmo.

Her ring is one of the expensive one that atleast I know .

I don't know where I saw this, but I watched a video once of Molly & Catherine on Wife swap with Jason and Sean. It was hilarious!!! Molly was like, "This is all you eat, Sean?" Catherine lived with Jason and Molly lived with Sean for a week! Sean with the baby was hilarious!

True. Sean felt like flavor was unnecessary or something because food was only fuel for the body. Hmm, wonder why we have tastebuds then?
