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

@SydneeRae4: @LaurenBushnell3 @benhiggi love u 2 but it seems like you have major communication issues. Lauren stand up for urself if u don't like it

Ohh ohh pick me, pick me, I know, the answer! This is all EDIT.

Meanwhile, this meme just basically describes the entire situation from Jo's perspective:

I can't believe she would favorite something on Twitter that said her and Ben have major communication issues

I don't think it's a bad tweet to fave. Not that we needed her to confirm that they have normal people issues.

I don't know. It seems odd to me that someone engaged would want to openly admit that on their Twitter. Most people on social media are going crazy about how scripted the show was, but Lauren's favorite lends some truth to what we saw, so I find that silly.

I think what's going on is she's continuing to show us all her class and grace and whatnot by giving kind advice to us fellow ladies about how to live life and "calling that man out." In reality, I think she's best to silently disappear into the background, silently collect her paycheck, and go practice the ubiquitous ducky face in the mirror, obviously, also silently.

That MO will stymie the backlash and improve the selfies. All will win.

I'm not sure why I'm not harder on Benny. Maybe because I feel this great politico will be leading the country one day (in between needing to be dragged off the ledge by his mom) and I respect (future) authority? Not sure.

All imo.

And if she only posts and faves happy things on social media and blocks the h@ters and doesn't acknowledge any of her short comings she's "fake" and putting on a show because "social media doesn't tell the whole story." Sometimes you can't win.

Nope. That's not how I would feel.

Ding Ding Ding! First she is too "perfect' now she's criticized for being candid.

Alright. Cool... Not saying you in particular, but I can certainly imagine a scenario with Lauren ignoring all the negative critics, turning a blind eye, blaming editing and only posting loving bull$hit about Ben, and being called out for being fake and putting on a show. We've seen that kind of "critical analysis" time and time again with people from this franchise. It's happening right now with the MBC couple. At least Lauren is being kind of real. But of course, some peeps will take issues with that too. So yeah, sometimes you literally can't win.

I didn't watch the show but Lauren could've just not favorited anything. I don't think anyone would think that's weird. That's what I would have done at least.

Apparently she still is perfect

She favorited many tweets, some good, some offering constructive criticism. I didn't get any red flags from any of them
