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.

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.

True. But the same could be said about watching reality Tv in he first place and thus joining in on the discussion IMO.

If they plan to stay in Colorado they better get used to the $$$$ it takes for a decent house in a good neighborhood. Renting here even sucks. I've already resigned myself to the fact that if I ever want to own a house here I better win the lottery. Lol

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

They are the best Tells me all I need to know.

@Lennoxcolinrolland Why did they need a almost 900k house for? For flipping or home remodels?

To live in! Lauren wants a new house because the one they're currently in is too small, and she wants more room space (don't blame her there!), so Lace took them to see houses ( ). Ben wants a fixer upper and Lauren wants a ready-to-move in. Ben told Lauren at least 8 times that they couldn't afford the ready-to-move in house and she was essentially pouting about it.

I guess it depends on how much reality tv one watches. Or how involved one is with all this.
Everything in moderation works for me personally.

Ah ok thanks. Well they are going to have to compromise if that's the case. Seems Lauren wants everything to go her way.

You're welcome. I'd say, moreso than not, the edit points to Lauren wanting her way IMO.

This is because that's what she is imo.

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.

The house hunting segment was so completely staged and scripted I'm not even counting it. Like please. Ben was really interested in that $hithole and they were really gonna buy property from Lace? Lauren was not ACTUALLY wanting to buy that property. Show set up.

Maybe. But the show can't edit facial expressions

I agree @sosleepy. Lace shows them two houses at opposite extremes. The house wasn't a "fixer upper" - it was disgusting and should be condemned. Then the opposite end of the extreme with the expensive dream home. In real life, a realtor asks questions about type of house desired, budget etc. No realtor in real life imo would have shown those two houses to the couple. All manufactured drama imo.

The show is mostly scripted, no doubt IMO. But where does one draw the line between what's real and what's fake (that's the problem with reality tv IMO)? In any case, the essential point I'm trying to make here: Lauren's edit is chit. IMO.

And I'm not the only one that thinks this. Seems to be common thought *IMO from some comments*:
