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

^ Well, that was my point. She was a part of the major storyline in Ben's season and the latest bachelorette. It makes sense. Plus, out of all of the bachelor/bachelorette related contestants/leads, she does have the most followers on social media. All of that combined will bring in more viewers. The twins, Grant and Lace who are making a few appearances don't hold a candle to her. IMO.

Still, I think the first episode should more so be solely focused on Ben and Lauren and then begin the guests starting with the second episode. We already know we're going to see them binge watching JoJo's season, we'll see them at JoJo's ATFR, and then their double date with JoJo and Jordan all just in the first episode. I won't complain though because that all will make me tune in.

What's funny is I still kinda prefer them. They seem mature, aren't drunks, aren't annoying or trying too hard, aren't preachy or holier than thou. IMO

I still feel like they're guarded and we don't know a lot about them as a couple, I wonder how much more the show will let us in on.

Yup.

I just saw on people that Chris Harrison will be making a couple appearances. Once during the 2nd episode and then further in the season.

Yikes.

For me, the promo wasn't cringe worthy or awkward at all. Different tastes, and all that.

I still can't see any sweetness in Lauren Bushnell, she is still that arrogant cheerleader showing off her quarterback accessory. :shocked!:

I didn't find anything wrong with the promo. Ben's delivery WAS awkward though, he should never go into acting Also, I think the scipt was supposed to be light hearted and silly, not Lauren/Ben themselves, and that was quite obvious. IMO.

I actually loved the promo! It felt tongue in cheek-y and light.

I'm sorry I missed the cringeworthy part?

Cue the tabloids to start writing about how they're on the verge of breaking up. IMO, these two are incredibly mature and 120% committed to making this an everlasting marriage with good communication. An untraditional couple that are very traditional in many ways. I think the Higgins' and Bushnell's parenting and own marriagea has something to do with that. JMO.

I don't know but I am hoping Lauren is really moved on with the I love you stuff . And just put it away already. I don't question their relationship they seem so happy but how do we know how happy they are behind close doors . The thing that I said about the I love you is because I saw a vid of them , gave their advice to nick and Lauren again mentioned the word I love you that nick no matter how he feels he should not mention the word I love you to both women. I don't blame Ben if he did that to his finale . That was he felt that time and measured who he loved most and that was Lauren . Being the current famous couple and upcoming reality show is really a lot of pressure to both of them for sure . They never been living a fully normal life at this point . wish them all the best in the future . Jmo.
