I could careless if they go out with friends separately to bars. I think when it's with a group of Bach nation alums then it all just looks disingenuous to me. I just roll my eyes to be quite honest. I like when Lauren hangs out with Ben's friends a lot more or with her friends from Cali. I actually think Lauren's choices in friends from this franchise are weird. Amanda + Lace+ the twins= major overkill. JMO

I agree with you at times but if Lauren is taking advantage of the fleeting opportunities provided to her aka free vacations to promote stuff she's gonna be with the Bach alum. It's the same reasons why we never really got to see Ben and Lauren's real friends on HEA. They were in the last episode but fans wanna see The Bach alum squad instead of Bach alum + hometown friends.

IMO, Lauren is often much quieter on SM when she's hanging with Denver friends or her old friends. Sometimes we don't even know they hung out till Bradee will post a picture to her IG.

I mean she went out this past Saturday drinking with girls, now she goes to Nashville and gets buzzed again with girls all this after she suggested Ben go back to work. Maybe she wishes subconsciously she was a single lady. She only has 2 married friends the majority are single. Ats for her being the one beside Luke in the car for appearance sake I feel she shouldn't have been the one sitting beside Luke, one of the other girls should have or Lauren in the front. I don't think we've ever seen Ben out with other woman around him at a bar. Theirs got to be more than going to bars all the time just to have fun. My opinion of Lauren is decreasing all the time. This is just my opinion.

I respectfully completely disagree. IMO this attitude is really unhealthy, that now Lauren can't even sit next to another man, but Ben. Ben has been going out for drinks with guys as well, it's perfectly normal. IMO there's huge double standard going on here, one rule for Ben, one for Lauren.

@cocoasneeze. After having read youre comment I believe I take back my opinion and agree with you. Its a new generation more open it seems better for a healthy relationship. Thumbs up for bringing that up. ☺☺

@mamahamme I hope I didn't come across harsh or argumentative, or trying to say that you don't have a right to have a different opinion, that wasn't my goal at all. Smiley

@cocoasneeze. No no after reading what you said I took a step back ( laugh out loud

) and thought yes he has hung out with his friends also at bars. And yes their was a time he went with his friend Matthias and their were 2 ladies and Ben was sitting beside them. I just calmed myself down and realize they seem to have a good relationship. I think someone else mentioned they wish she would have connected with other bachelor girls instead of Amanda/Lace and on that I agree. I just hope Amanda and lace don't keep trying to pull her out more since they don't have any relationships going on. But no I don't think you were harsh at all.

@mamahamme From her season she connected and is still really good friends with majority of the girls... (even Leah is always commenting on her pics and tweeting her). She's also in Nashville with Jen Saviano, I believe Jubilee was also meant to be on this trip but has military duties this weekend (twitter). During her season she was really close to Amanda so I don't expect her to cut her off post show.. if anything Amanda has said several times that Lauren has been a good friend and support to her and her girls. IMO I don't think she connected with Lace until HEA.

According to an article the bachelors/bachelorette lead generally gets paid a 6 figure sum
http://www.thisisinsider.com/how-much-does-the-bachelor-get-paid-2017-1

The mansion which they stay at is actually someone's home which is rented out to the network for about 1 and 1/2 month

and the contestants that stay there generally have to cook for themselves but the fridge is usually stocked with a lot of food.

So thankful for the bachelor hashtag. Ladies, if you want to get that perfect "model shot" that Lauren does all the time, the secret is to get a phone case that has lights all around it so you can get that "good lighting" as evidenced by this snap:

These girls and their insistent posing. Just SMH.

I wonder how much time during the day they spend prepping for their snapchat sessions and then the amount of time they spend trying to get the perfect shot. Heaven forbid they wouldn't wear makeup and take only one shot.

It's like their audience is those under 21. Maybe that is their target population--single women under 21?
