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

I thought it was weird that they never talked about an actual date or a time frame, except when Ben was talking to his friends or someone and said it would be in a few weeks (?). I guess they're trying to pretend that the wedding was supposed to be at the end of the show and Ben changed his mind about that, so now it's February, even though in reality it was always supposed to be February. Would be so typical. I hope they really are taking a breather and just focusing on their relationship.

Wait. So Ben and Lauren faked that whole therapy session and all that in order to fleiss their audience?  I love it. And I thought Janner's ho'ing was bad. B+L are on another level. IMO.

700 people??? Like they know that many people unless they consider all of Bach Nation sure it's just a joke but whatever.

So wedding in Feb. airing in the middle of Nick's season I would guess idk. Wonder which gets more viewers

I didn't watch any of the episode but their fan accounts have bombarded certain IG hashtags with endless Secret deodorant posts. Please tell me they had to try to make that product placement on the show. Because .

Ehhh, I wouldn't be surprised if there was some legitimate hesitation with getting married so soon at least on Ben's part, especially with what their life has been like in the year they have been together and I can't blame him. There's been little to no reality.

Being offered a free wedding that will air on ABC and give you more exposure? Given how Ben has acted this past year, I could see him being willing to do this so it doesn't pass him by even if he's not 100% ready for the wedding to be two months from now. JMO

This episode was nice.

Anyway, I knew the "calling off the wedding" was fake as hell! In the previews for the next episode, the storyline centers around Emily and Haley are the only ones that know about the wedding being called off, and Ben and Lauren are trying to decide if they should tell everyone else or not, but the bachelor/ETTE parties were already planned before they "called off the wedding." Give me a freaking break. But Ben was seriously crying in that therapy session, so he IS scared of something IMO.

Ditto. And I am not being convinced otherwise Oh well, at least they got a hefty pay check and free stuff.

Oh brother. Yes Secret deodorant is definitely the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about home renovations. This is just silly.

Recapped for tonight's episode . Oh yeah "wow one word : fleiss you are stupid of throwing this fake wedding call off drama " welcome to fleiss show that rating is all important ....

Ps: I wish they did much better of showing their post bachelor life in order for everyone to see how they are outside the show , considering the title of their show. I mean scripted is part of it, but atleast they show more of that post bachelor life they are saying while promoting their show. Jmo.

As a fan, I'm happy if they get married, but they do deserve the IG speculation for the timeline.

So I must be bipolar or something because I loved the episode and I love them again but I have to get two things off my chest regarding the secret deodorant thing.
First the idea was that they needed a sponsor for the project and okay so MF and Benlo I guess don't want to pony up and secret decides to because (and this was stretching it paper thin if you ask me) it helps women (Lauren) in stressful situations (the home reno). The nice bit was secret donated a year supply of deodorant to the charity the lady runs for it seemed veterans and military people who need food and basic supplies. The lady was super grateful as that is not something often donated. Okay, that's nice.
Thing two, Benlo can now take home most awkward shilling of all time, ever no contest. Lauren had a moment where she actually put on the deodorant. I kid you not lifted her shirt and everything. Ben, who was too good for teeth whitening, let his fiance put on deodorant for shilling/ sponsorship purposes. I laughed so hard.
