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

Alanna, BEN is the KING of BSing though IMO. Like so good that it's almost freaky. With so.much.ease JMO to

If you feel your blood boiling when you're reading posts about your favourites, then step away, go to the fan thread, or leave altogether and take a break. It really is not worth getting so upset over contestants and posting shade towards other members.

Everyone has a right to post, whether it's positive or negative. No one has the right to make fun of members posts, period.

IMO, it has nothing to do with if Ben trust Lauren or vice versa.  It is the image they continue to put out.  You'd think they'd either minimize their SM presence as a whole or at least present a pretty united front.  

Instead we have them together for 10 days or whatever, filming for a couple of that.  Then as soon as they go their separate ways and we have Lauren out drinking and partying it up again.  Regardless of what Ben was doing, this look on Lauren every time they aren't together is growing old, IMO.  But when you add her living it up with Bach nation and driving a a jag (be it comped or paid for by her) while Ben is in Honduras, be it to do a lot of mission work or just some general business work to set up for more mission work in the future, its not a good look at all, IMO.  IMO, it makes me further question their status and if these two are actually compatible.  

I'm not saying that Ben doesn't do the same or that Lauren isn't allowed to do what she's doing.  But since that's the continues behavior we get from her or friends on SM, I'm going to give her some , because I can.

I'm sure many won't agree and that's ok.  JMOAA

Probably why this has "lasted" a whopping 13 months, with about 4 of them without a tv camera involved (gasps all around, but who's counting?). Holla at those shining Bach records IMO.

The problem isn't that he was on a charity trip and she stayed home....or that she hung out with friends. The problem was her behaviour while hanging out with those friends and the fact that said behaviour seems to becoming a pattern of late. That along with the fact that they haven't been together much lately and when they are together, generally both seem miserable, is a cause for questioning the state of their relationship, which many seem to be doing.

If she wasn't in a relationship, it would be not be an issue.

What is her questionable behaviour? She had a few drinks with friends out in a club or a bar. Giggled and had a silly fun night. That's it. When he hangs out with friends for drinks, no one says hus behaviour is questionable. IMO

Maybe because we haven't seen anything like that from him? Lauren and her Bach BFFS go out and put a full documentary of it on SC, which starts raising questions. Obviously we don't know if everything we see is 100% true but again no one is forcing you to put it out there. They can have a private party or whatever.. but NADA! JMO

I ,who follow them have seen Ben having drinks /dancing/singing while when he is with his friends without Lauren documented by his friends .
I still don't get what has Lauren done to raise questions ?? Except having drinks and being silly with friends?? Has she done anything inappropriate ??
As far as snapchat is concerned , IMO every girl from Ben's season snapchat a LOT when they are together or with their respective Bach bffs . Lauren and her so called bffs documenting their vacation is nothing new or surprising .JMO

@Simon21 what Lauren did was basically show up on snapchat. People can't talk about what they don't see. My issue with my generation is the need to publicize everything. Ben probably does enjoy the odd night out but maybe he isn't doing it with the likes of Luke and Chase. Side note: she couldn't have surrounded herself with a more unlikeable bunch of alums IMO. Side eyeing that just a bit.

I couldn't have said it better.
Another thing to add. I don't mind that Ben and Lauren each hang out and party with other people (every relationship need its freedom and 'me' time) but they never do anything together anymore. When they are together, it's for business/filming (the twins, JJ,...), they seem miserable and as if they can't wait to go their separate ways.
I hope they call it quits soon because this is leading nowhere. All JMO.

You and me both!    Me more than a bit, but...

how can we be sure Ben was not present in that party??just because we didn't see him on Lace's snap ??Ben could have left the next morning as he was MIA the next whole day without any acitivity in his social media?? Flight to Hondorus is not that long . JMO

Me three Isn't there a phrase that state: You're only as good or bad as the people you surround yourself with? For Lauren, that's recently been Lacy, Amanda, the twins, Chase, Luke... Should I go on?

At this point of the show, it seems like if your clique of friends don't get along with your mate, your relationship is doomed.

And who are the likeable ones?? Are there anyone untouched by the fame or who don't take advantage of being in spotlight from this bachelor franchise esp the recent ones??
