Ben and Lauren Happily Ever After - Discussion - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

That recap had me

Way more entertaining than the show could ever attempt to be.

Hahahaha....You know I love Lauren and have been rooting for her ever since The Bachelor but her voice really is annoying on this show. I don't think it was this annoying before or am I wrong? It's just weird how it feels like she's talking in slow motion everytime she opens her mouth. It's driving me nuts. Especially the way she opens it, her mouth does an "O" when pronouncing every word.

Again, the thing I hate about this show is that it keeps on making the woman look bad. Ben complaining about Lauren wanting a wedding, babies, new house, puppies etc and the constant nagging about slowing things down. Can we pick on Ben & his obstacles next episode? Or is he still the perfect Ben???

Lauren has always talked like that IMO. It just wasn't as "in your face" before because The Bachelor wasn't dedicated solely to her. I mean, c'mon, she barely was shown speaking on The Bach, unless she was with Ben.

Honestly, this show is making both Ben and Lauren look quite bad. But Lauren is definitely getting the brunt of it IMO.

It's ok. She is looking bad all the way to the bank.
I'm not watching, so I don't know how anyone is looking, but that's part of the game and out of their control.

Exactly. Jokes on all of us. The same is said for all the Bach folks who went on Marriage Bootcamp IMO. They ruin their public reputation, but gain bank!

I think they could definitely be having worse edits. Lauren comes off ditzy and bland, Ben a little less so. Not the greatest edit but not damaging you know? JMO

The way I have come to look at these reality tv people (for the most part--TAR and Survivor seem a bit more real to me) is when they are on my tv they are following a storyline and are playing the part of a character. That character maybe "them", but it is still not "them". If that makes sense. Almost like they are playing the part of them.

I agree. But look at the Facebook comments. The Internet isn't a total indication of what viewers think...But from what I've noticed on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, forums, and blogs ppl think Lauren is coming off like a biotch.

Agreed. Reality tv is essentially at least 70% character. But a lot of ppl are not so bright and think it's all real. Though with this show, the majority can tell it's fake.

This is because that's what she is imo.

This is solely my opinion: Anyone that spends that much time following people they don't know needs to get a new hobby. I don't know if she is or is not a biotch and I don't care. I am simply amazed at the amount of time invested in something so---superficial. This again is my opinion and goes for any type of fanism or reverse fanism.

This show has put me off of her a little, not gonna lie. Her edit is just making her look bad. Her complaining about Ben not being able to afford a $895k house was... And then a couple of other situations and looks she's given have made me question some things.. I don't think she's a biotch though, just comes off snooty at times.. IMO.
