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

Haha Happily Ever Awkward.

That actually is a better name.

I like both Ben and Lauren. I appreciate their charity work, find both of them very articulate, kind, relatable, easy going and would probably get along great with them in real life. I'm sure in person, they are fun and people would be drawn to them or find them charismatic if you will. However, when they are on tv, to me at least, they come across as very...very...mellow. Maybe they want to project a good image, but I simply think that they were raised to be polite, thoughtful and kind. While those traits are wonderful and I wish more people had them, they don't translate so well on reality tv. The emotional drama that I think most people have come to associate with reality tv is kind of missing with these two and I think that is why some find them boring to watch.

Personally, I hate much of reality tv. All the housewives shows, the Kardashians, etc. appall me and when I see people aspiring to that, it makes me sad and a little bit fearful for the future. I will check out Ben and Laurens show just to see what is going on. I'm not sure how it will play out with all the former alums making their "guest" appearances. Will it be a tongue in cheek parody kind of like BIP? Will it really focus on BenLo and the lead up to the wedding? I guess I will have to watch a little bit and then decide. Either way, good for them for taking advantage of the opportunities presented to get themselves set up for the rest of their lives. Boring it may or may not be, but it is definitely smart financial planning.

IMO it's smart even if just for the all expenses paid wedding. Getting your dress, and the whole wedding already planned sounds like a huge win, IMO. The Janner wedding was very tastefully and beautifully done, so if BenLo get a wedding like that, it's great. IMO

I'm just excited we get both worlds all in one reality show. Ben & Lauren plus the rest of the crazies from this franchise stopping by. It's obviously Ben and Lauren's show but they made sure to include some of the most recent popular Bachelor family folks which is totally fine with me.

Woo hoo go BenLo. Why can't they ever get Ben's age right though?

They really are the new golden couple it seems

I love them obviously but I hope at some point it dies down a bit and they focus on real life more.

Good thing they get to play themselves because actors they ain't. Lol

What.

Take those opportunities BenLo!! That's just amazing!

Get it BenLo! They have to be the most sophisticated famewhores of the franchise. I don't know anything negative or snarkworthy about them and they seem to avoid putting their foot in their mouth. That's how you do it .
