Ben Higgins - Lauren Bushnell - Bachelor 20 - Discussion

... And based on the shows low verage of couples staying together it's not a stretched of the imagination by the rags to insinuate trouble in paradise.

They are a few exceptions and I'm hopeful for Benlo.

Soooooo in love, but kaput now.
And still, fans were in denial when mags announced trouble in paradise....

Doesn't mean Benlo won't make it, just that mags are not always wrong...

Absolutely. What I'm saying is the "trouble in paradise" rumors come out shortly after the finale every single time whether they're true or not so going on that alone doesn't tell us whether BenLo are in trouble or not. All those unsuccessful couples had signs of trouble even ignoring the tabloids. Yes the fans of those couples didn't want to believe it but the signs were there. I also think there are non-fans who jump on every rumor just because they don't like a couple.

All JMO.

The latest sc dialogue is interesting...Lauren says "What about it?" as she makes faces using the sc filter. Then a female voice (her mother?) responds "it's--so you have to be careful what you say." Then Ben turns and responds "Yeah, it is though..." and Lauren says "Snapchats..." And the video stops. I wonder if they're talking about the rumors today and how images and words can be twisted. I haven't watched ET in a long time, but I hadn't realized they'd turned into TMZ. It's sad.

Wow Thanks! I could only understand Lauren and wondered what was being said. It is so sad that this has to happen. I feel bad because whatever caused her to be upset she now has to justify. I know they asked for it by being on the show; I just wondered if they could have predicted HOW much it would actually happen.

What amaze me is when legitimate media outlets pick to something off and get sucked in by these hoaxes. Maybe ET or other media try so hard to be the first media outlet to get the news/rumor published.  Wouldn't believe anything anymore, I assume everything is fallacious unless I have proof....

I don't think anyone signs up or should expect their every private moment after the show to be recorded and sold to rag mags or tabloids. BenLo are very generous taking pictures with every fan they meet, support charities and post pictures and snap chats. I'm sorry but IMO it goes to stalking territory videotaping them them through car windows having a cry. (I consider paparazzi stalkers too). I bet the said video might've been taken by an actual paoarazzi who first said something terrible to them and then video taped the end results.

Geez, kinda like producers then. Trying to induce an emotion where there was none. Would be funny if it's the stuck in an elevator where Ben was distressed and Lauren was worried

I am very much concern and curious about the truth they videotaping Lauren's crying. I wish we could get explanation from it or maybe ET can help us through instead spread the misinformation. I care for rumors not 

I think having a cry would be very normal in their current situation.  Every time they post some fun positive photo....they have to be subjected to loads of mean nasty comments on their SM.  Particularly Lauren.  If I were either one of them I might be seen crying or looking upset.  They seem to be handling the circus quite masterfully.  Hopefully their time in Oregon can be a fun and supportive reprieve with the Bushnells and exploring Portland without cameras in tow.  Maybe they can even take a drive to the coast.

The tabloids and "entertainment" shows do this every season to every couple.  Unfortunately it is par for the course.  Rudeness sells.  

JMO

I feel bad that anyone has to go through such scrutiny.  I would not like it to happen to me.   I guess the TV shows, tabloids, etc. must feel that the end (higher TV ratings, magazines sold, number of times internet articles are clicked on) justifies the means.  I am glad they have family support and honestly, I think it is good that Lauren's mom said something about it.  She most likely has some guidance and words of wisdom that both Ben and Lauren could listen to giving them a different perspective on the situation as well.  JMO

Of course, everyone who do not like this couple would jump with joy and say "seeee, told yah!"

There's a bunch of sad people like that who will be happy if a couple they don't like breaks up. Anyway, what else is new. Every season we get things like this.

Until they get married and have children, there'll be people waiting for them to just break up. Heck, even if they get married and have kids, there will still be people like that wishing they break up.

If she cried a week or two ago, I'm glad they are normal and I'm glad they're together in Portland. It's hard to be Ben and Lauren. Their lives, even though they want to keep it private, there will always be people watching their every move. Whereas if they met outside of TV and have a fight within 6 months of the relationship (which every normal relationship goes through), no one would care. Very hard to be on the spotlight.

It was a few tears after three incredibly busy weeks. Ben has been over the publicity since the show started airing in January. Some noted how he didn't look thrilled. It was just tired. I got the impression these very public trips were so public to allow Lauren to enjoy the spotlight, maybe it is wearing a little on her to now. Doesn't mean break up, maybe just a sign to back off being so open with their moves and actions. It is great for the fans, but the more you give, the more people take. I think even that SC sounds like mom and Ben letting her know, maybe time to back off.

The tears can actually be healthy, Ben supporting her through it and loving her can actually help them grow as a couple.

I am waiting for them to stop the travel and move to Denver and settle into everyday life. JMO, get started on just them, not giving everyone else what they want.

I would not worry about them. They have two amazing families to help love them through it. All JMO
