Ben Higgins - Lauren Bushnell - Bachelor 20 - Discussion - #3

And things they actually DONT do/WOULDNT do in everyday life. And certainly not before they filmed the show nor after they film the show. This is all just Fleiss' circus, and Lauren and Ben are the main monkeys IMO.

And yes, I know this is Fleiss' doing and not Benlo's, BUT they agreed to this at the end of the day.

Because they want the cash and they want to be on tv. Just like everyone else.

I'll skipping any segments that feature people from bach nation I just don't care to see ever again. I'm am so tired of those godawful twins and Ashley I. Things like going to the Renaissance Fair and Ben getting his chest waxed don't bother me at all. Of course they were going to embellish their normal way. Otherwise there'd be no show.

Sure the settings and activities may be contrived, with bachelor alum thrown in, but I fully believe the genuine Ben and Lauren will shine through. Ben will look at Lauren the way every girl dreams. They'll have real relationship conversations. Just because it's being filmed doesn't detract away from the interaction and it's potential. For me it's refreshing to know a very positive loving relationship will be the focus of a reality show. This isn't going to draw in the viewer who strictly watches for the drama, and if they tune in I'm sure they will quickly tune out. It's going to draw in the ones who like it for the love story and light hearted fun.

Everything I've seen post filming shows these two are grounded and have built a very strong foundation. They've started a modest home together, traveled the country, intertwined families, had an engagement party with no cameras, started separate and combined projects and interests, most of which was all done prior to the show starting.

I continue to be of the mindset these two are doing it right and have been from the very beginning. Other couples have chosen different paths, I say chose what works for you and this is what clearly works for them. Neither is right or wrong. Even Ben tweeted recently to a fan who accused them of selling out, if we make you smile or laugh is that selling out. It's a show for entertainment purposes, I think they realized that from the very beginning and I expect from them a very positive message, whatever part of that message is in their control. And they sure seem to be having one heck of a time in the process!
