Agree.

I have no issues with these folks going on multiple reality shows etc. But if we paint one set of contestants as "there for the fame" or "fame whores" then these two need to be included seeing that this is Ben's third and Laurens second go around.

I can picture it now ... announcer's voice: "in the next episode of 'Ben and Lauren: Denver Suburbanites On the Loose,' Ben says 'I love you' to the pizza delivery girl before Lauren can slam the door in her face ... see it all happen next week on Freeform TV (formerly the ABC Family channel in those households who happen to get the channel)!" giggling

j/k ... hope they have a very enjoyable, rewarding, and lucrative time on the show

Producers say BenLo are the biggest couple in the last 10 years. Ben's venture into politics will be shown and there appears to be guest appearances probably by Des and Trisha.(since Lauren has already met up with them) .. Maybe some other guys.

Ben and Lauren are the biggest ‘Bachelor’ couple of the last 10 years,” said Karey Burke, executive vice president, Programming and Development, Freeform.

I'm like one of the biggest Benlo's fans you will ever meet and even I find this laughable. laugh out loud

I don't think Ben and Lauren have any issue with it. They seem to be the biggest fans of the show, all the spin offs etc. and they've openly said that they're open to any opportunities, reality shows etc that they get offered.

So mike fleiss is one of the producers and his fellow producers . It does make sense. Well if abc is the one to do this . Showing their post bachelor life in Denver . Following them all around leading to their wedding . For sure this will be going to make them more famous. It is still a reality show . Yeah it is a different one . I get that . But I would say there will be not much privacy for them after this show will wrap up. Jmo .

This just seems real dumb. A TV show, meh. Lauren just seems to hate the criticism so much, and Ben doesn't even like being on snapchat, he's always rolling his eyes and stuff. They seemed like they wanted to be private and have a "normal" couple life. So I'm rolling my eyes.

And I can guarantee there will be drama, whether real or manufactured. They don't make these shows to delicate a happy couple 24/7.

I'm just gonna enjoy them being knocked off this "perfect" pedestal some have of them.

I'm sure I'm guilty too... But the fan wars are kinda silly. We all like different couples for one reason or another. It shouldn't be some stupid competition, or waiting to see someone knocked off some make believe pedestal.

I definitely don't think they are perfect. I think this is a gamble, and for sure it opens them up for criticism. But I also think it will be relatively controlled. Of course there will be manufactured drama- probably circling around home renovations, wedding planning, maybe Lauren adjusting to new life. But it's not MBC, which is SPECIFICALLY about dealing with marital issues. There is a difference. None of these couples are immune to more reality tv. They've all done something or another. I'm guessing Ben/Lauren want to do this to make some $$, promote charities, keep his name out there for politics, and catapult them into their own televised wedding.

I was talking generally about people saying they are "perfect". Sure all fan groups are guilty of it but I enjoy when these fans realize they are people too and take them off the pedestal.

And now they are like all the others. I had read many say they were above more reality tv so this just proves they aren't.

JMOAA

Ben and Lauren have many times said tgeyre open to more reality tv, any opportunities and adventures offered to them, and I think all their fans know this too. Jmo.
