Me too.  I find that SO annoying and I don't get it.  I never heard anyone talk like that before until just recently.  What I don't understand is that it's not a pleasant way to speak and certainly not cute or sexy.  It makes me wonder how Ben can tolerate her speaking that way.   I hope when Nick starts up on The Bachelor, he won't have women talking like that.  

A lot of girls have it, surprisingly..or not . I think maybe with the way Lauren and her sister grew up, they just got accustomed to talking like that... With the LA lifestyle or something.. Idk. I certainly don't like it, and I've mentioned Lauren having it since the Bachelor days. It's like nails on a chalkboard. But she has other lovely qualities, so something as "shallow" as her vocal tone, shouldn't be that much of a deal breaker. Though, in all honesty, if I were a guy, I would NEVER date/marry a woman with vocal fry. I just couldn't listen to that naggy scratchy voice every day for the rest of my life, and actually enjoy the person that I was with. So I don't blame people who don't like that style of talking either, but I give props to people who deal with it. All IMO.

It's amazing, but if you Google Vocal Fry on the internet, it'll come up that this way of talking actually started by Kim Kardashian.  So now this is a trend by young girls/women.  They  have to make their voice sound that way when they're talking since it's not natural.  Once you notice someone talking liked that, it's hard to listen to her speak without thinking how forced that voice actually is.

I did at Lauren's gratuitous bikini pic for her Thanksgiving post.

I know what you mean.  She makes it very difficult to get through watching an episode because she's so annoying. I wonder if she'll talk like that when she says her vows.

I wonder if it will be the same as her little speech right before she went into the fantasy suite with Ben:

"Bennnn, you are like the man of like my dreamsssss."

at least she seems to be a sweet girl.
