The reality show broke up their marriage.

If you're talking about Nick Lackey, well, he did another show with his current wife Vanessa. It was about the events leading up to their wedding day and they're still married. I was skeptical about Nick Carter's show too. Now they celebrate their new child. Like everything, there's good examples and bad. I personally think BenLo will be a good example in this and come out of it just fine .

You'll never know depends on the ratings and they will have a following seasons down the road featuring their life after marriage . Of course jmo.

So... I think the difference between Newlyweds, The Osbournes, KUWTK, etc, etc...  Is that they were full blown series. They were meant to last season, after season, after season. This is (as far as we know), an isolated mini series, likely leading up to their wedding. One and done. Not too much different than Triata and Ryan's mini series leading up to their wedding.

And in the Osbourne case, they filmed their show nearly 16 years ago and are JUST NOW separated. I don't think the show had anything to do with Sharon and Ozzy's separation.

Just so everyone knows, FreeForm was once called ABC Family.

Depends on public pick up . It doesn't matter if this is going to start as mini series leading to their wedding preparation . Anything can happen. Many of their public supporters in sm are very very excited about this . And if they get the crowd to watch their new show then that is a hit and for sure many of them will ask for more and you will never know what mike fleiss in mind down the road if this is the case .

Yes, and IMO all these couples had issues unrelated to the reality show, that would've caused a split regardless IMO. Addictions and cheating, fake relationships etc.

It is what it is.  Nick and Jessica did make statements saying, it was the biggest mistake they ever

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

Lol. It's such a joke. If the only measure is IG followers than I guess they are the biggest. By several other measures they are not.

Oh yeah, I agree that statement is silly. But what measurements are you referring to? It all seems arbitrary and pointless. Who has the better relationship? The only people that could really compare that are the actual individuals in the relationships, not the fans... and that's going to vary big time by personal preference for what each is looking for in a relationship. Who is the most entertaining? Again, totally subjective. Who's been together the longest? That's just a matter of circumstance.

I don't know. Some people like SeanCat, cool. Some love Kaitlyn/Shawn, awesome. Some are old school and it's Trista/Ryan, Jash or nothing. Others like the normalcy of Chres. And probably most don't care at all and the whole shebang is just for snark. My point- it's ridiculous to say any of these couples are better than any other, by any make believe measurement.

I wouldn't mind seeing a Shawn/Kait or Joelle/future F1 doing the same type of show. If they reject it good for them, if they accept then thats fine too. As a fan of the Bachelor/ette, I'd much rather these couples have their own show then have it with other celebs who I can't stand. JMO It makes stanning them little more intriguing. I'm happy! Bring on Lauren being a bridezilla!!

I watched last season without fanning any particular person including Ben as the Lead.....but from watching Ben and Lauren post season....I have developed mad respect for them both.  I abhor phoniness and I see 0% in either of them.  They have shown themselves to be very authentic genuinely nice people...with good hearts....and a committed love for each other, their families, friends and charitable causes.  I am looking forward to their show.  I don't find them boring...I find them refreshing, positive and kind...in a world filled with negativity and self involvement. I also think they lead fun but normal lives and both have really embraced uniting their families together.  I think TPTB/ABC consider them the best couple in the last 10 years because they see them like Trista and Ryan in terms of popularity, substance, marketability, appreciation and positivity.

One thing that I think rings very true in the Franchise....If you remain grateful for the opportunties afforded to you via MF etal....opportunities will come your way.  If you bash the hand that fed you....not so much.

I know what FreeForm is cause I watch Pretty Little Liars

As for this...Like I said weeks ago she just moved to Denver barely just settled in and now they are bringing cameras into their home. Also just because it's unscripted and MF is producing there's sure to be some kinds of "fake drama." Hopefully their daily life is better then what they show on SnapChat

Lol that is exactly in my mind . Just because it is abc affiliate you can guarantee this is going your own way when it comes to editing . Considering one of the producers of this show is this guy who loves drama and produce the long run dating crappy show . Yeah MF is the producer and this is his people and became friends too but what makes reality show exciting without some produce drama to spice that and then throw the good stuff . For sure this is not like other reality show but still a reality show and they are making a reality show about their post bachelor life in Denver. Jmo
