Does she respond to the negative or positive comments?  TBH, I don't follow them.

Both. I was only talking about the negative comments though.

Is she snarky like Becca?

Yeah, she definitely gets pretty snarky to the negative comments.

JJ was on RS podcast, and spoke about Ben & Lauren's relationship and other things.

What did he say?

He said from spending time with them in places where there aren't cameras around or anything, they seem like a normal, happy couple that is dating. He said Ben is back working at his job, and that limits how much he is able to travel- something Lauren loves to and is able to do. So she takes advantage of it, and that seems to be something that works for them.

He said he understands why people think there's issues but from what he's seen, they aren't breaking up.

Interesting. JJ doesn't seem like the type to cover for people, but I'm not sure I 100% buy it.

He did say that he had a talk with Ben (didn't say when it was I believe) and told him essentially that the world won't end if he does break up with Lauren. It was pretty standard, but he's well spoken.

Regardless of what he said, he's not going to admit to Reality Steve of all people that his good buddy and former bachelor Ben is having trouble with his chosen girl. JMO.

Thanks.

^ He also said of course he doesn't know what goes on behind the scenes. I think JJ gave very interesting insight on Ben and Lauren's relationship. However, it wasn't anything we already didn't know/realize based on common sense IMO. I buy what he's selling (In public they're a normal dating couple. Cause like I said, I think they'd be respectful to one another no matter what.) But, like he said, no one knows what goes on BTS. I like the advice he gave Ben though, if the relationship ever ends, they're not failures.

IMO.

JJ was quick to always judge Shawn and Kait's relationship and they seem better off to me than BenLo. JJ is friends with Ben so of course he would say those things, IMO.

I'm back to thinking that a break up isn't looming . Maybe they aren't ready to throw in the towel.

Ultimately, I think JJ was quite careful about the perspective he was giving. He said from what HE'S seen and been told, Ben and Lauren are a regular dating couple. But he said he understands where ppl's opinions of a breakup are coming from, when Lauren is traveling & Ben's not with her, etc. which of course leads to the idea "where there's smoke there's fire." I understood where he was coming from. He was giving his opinion, but was realistic about the possibilities of negativity/breakup. IMO.
