Ben Higgins - Lauren Bushnell - Bachelor 20 - Discussion - #6

^^ I don't know who the guy is . The girl who doesn't follow Ben is one of the friend of Lizzy who is both Ben and Lauren friend.She is new addition to the group. There is a girl Allystrum whose birthday party Ben attended when Lauren was with Megan and her family .

I think I hear Ben too. Regardless she is hanging with his friends and seems actually *gasp* happy. Not as solemn.

Also I finally got around to listening to Courtney and RS talk about the couples. I agree, kinda interesting and insightful. But regarding RS and his "inside info" regarding Ben and Lauren, it really sounds like most of his sources are social media and what fans are emailing in to him. Doesn't he usually scoff at that kind of sleuthing?  To me, it really doesn't sound like he actually has an inside source here. 
Funny, it seems to me a lot of times if people like the couple RS is mean, vindictive, goes off a lot of conjecture and is utterly ridiculous. If you don't like the couple, blogger boy is clearly in the know and totally correct.

Yeah. RS didn't say he had additional sources, just that fans have been emailing him. He was initially surprised and had no inkling.

No, I think it's a wait and see game. Sometimes he's correct and sometimes he's not. He's an idiot in my opinion that states way too many things as fact and then he has to backtrack. He trashes the heck out of people and tries to ruin their reputation IMO. 

With that being said, I wouldn't be surprised if after he posted his thoughts about their relationship if someone who has some sort of connection to them reached out to him. That doesn't mean it's 100% accurate. He did make it seem like he had a source by saying he initially had fans reaching out to him and then he dug deeper and now says he won't be rushing to a wedding registry for them, but who knows what that means? We'll have to wait and see just like we do with every other couple. JMO

I saw the IG videos and IMO Ben and the guys were in the background at what was clearly a mixed male/female get together IMO. The people there and the house are friends of Ben. The gal Lauren was air kissing is the same gal who's birthday party Ben was at while Lauren was at Megan's. I actually think Lauren showed the whiskey to represent Ben...IMO.

I saw the JJ videos too. JJ joked about what would people think about Lauren being on the ice with her "husband" ooops "fiance" and Lauren laughed in a light hearted way. I did not see any signs of falseness in their interactions. I choose to take Lauren at her word...they are trying. I hope they find the happiness the deserve.

I'm going to hope the best for one of my favorite couples that came out of this show. If they are going through tough times, I hope they weather through it because they will be a stronger couple if they do.
I like them both as individuals and as a couple. I wish Ben could be a little more mature. Lauren deserves better than what she's been put through. I always go back to the conversation they had on their first date that Lauren wants a simple life and a husband like her dad.

Anyway, the people who wish this couple to split up are just sad. It's just a reflection of what they have in their life. Those who hated Lauren during Ben's season will always hate her. Nothing new there.

@Seabear Thanks for clarifying who was there and who wasn't.

Just to note and clarify, in those snaps and IG stories, there was only one guy (not guys) visible and four girls, including Lauren. 

That voice still doesn't sound like Ben to me. I just think it was the guy that was in the kitchen with the girls.

^^ ok. 

Whatever happens happens. Wishing them peace either way.

There was a comment about clarifying who was in the snaps/IG stories and the get together, so I just wanted to make sure it was accurate for those who haven't seen them.

Alrighty. 

Basically I think we are at status: inconclusive.
