Ben Higgins - Lauren Bushnell - Bachelor 20 - Discussion - #4

@Ladybug82 Damn...now you got me curious about the comments.

@Kashathediva I haven't kept up with them in a while.  Was going off what @Lennoxcolinrolland  was mentioning in her post above mine.  She could probably give you better Intel.    I do vaguely remember reading some of those and thinking WTH?  Why would it matter to some rando on SM.  People can be so weird.  

I very rarely read comments, unless I'm looking for something, and those are the reasons why. It's pretty sad that technology has made some SM users use it to mouth off the nastiest comments and those that care what they think IMHO.

Unless I know you and care about you, I could give two figs what you think about me....and even then, I still might not care. This drives my mother crazy since she thinks I should care and I don't. Then again, I'm rarely on SM so I still have my sanity...unless it has to do with this show where I may be a little obsessive.

^ The comments were nasty, I don't even think I'm allowed to post them Just know they were inappropriate and rude.

These Bach nation alum cannot make easy money if they turn their SM accounts off/private, so I think what they need is to have thicker skin.

I actually don't understand them, they went on a national tv to gain popularity, then shill and make easy money. They clearly love the money and opportunities that come by, but most of them can't handle the negativities that, IMO, is a must by-product of the popularity.

I think they definitely underestimate the impact post show. Most are just so excited to get on. I get that they put themselves out there and yada yada, but how do you prepare for hundreds/thousands of people sounding off on your every move? Picking apart your legs, your face, etc. Very weird. I think that almost all past contestants struggled with it in varying degrees and they usually come out on the other side. JMO.

Honestly I get both sides but I can't reduce it to block the all or make your SM private.

IMO it's a bit unfair to just say to turn off your comments or make your account private. For some people, their job requires active social media. Lauren's insecurity is clearly being called too skinny, anorexic etc. I get it. I like how she responds, she doesn't attack back.

I really am bummed about how these two have been acting lately. They went from being my favorite couple to just annoying the hell out of me.

I think people had such high hopes of them disappearing into oblivion and living their lives privately and then bam .

Agreed. They started out so promising with all that family time, retreating Denver, Ben even went back full time to his old job for a bit. Then HEA... and down hill from there.

I'm an optimist though and I'm still hopeful they turn it around. The couple and the people I really liked are still in there. They just got... incredibly distracted or something.

IMO I don't see them much different than many of the other couples that I won't name as it's not about them. The only following I do for this couple, is the same I do for the others when I bounce in and out of threads. It all seems about relative to me.
