What do you think they did wrong Alanna? As much as they could be a cautionary tale for future couples, I always think it depends on the couple. Everyone was so negative about Nick doing DWTS because of how hard it was for Sean and Catherine and the Chris/Whitney debacle, but for Nick and V it turned out to be a wonderful experience that they shared. I guess the same could apply to Ben and Lauren....although, no matter who you are, I would never say ILY to two different people.
,

Their show, trying to get into politics, which , also spending so much time apart as in holidays and birthdays aren't important to them, and then deciding to keep filming and doing stuff in the media this year after already having trouble after filming. As for the wonderful N+V experience, the jury is still so, so, SO out on them and their fantastic relationship imo.

Yeah, I never did quite understand the politics thing. It was just such a random thing to do fresh off the Bachelor with a brand new engagement to a woman you barely knew. As for the spending time apart, well I think that was as things were heading down the toilet anyway and they just needed some space. I don't know why they did HEA. After the mess of the 2 ILY's on the Bachelor and how hard that was for Lauren, I don't know why they would expose themselves more. Lauren seemed very insecure about everything while the Bachelor was airing and then have to go through more of the same on HEA, just made it even worse. I don't know WTH Ben was thinking wanting to do that?...$$$$.

As for Nick and V, yes it is early days yet for their relationship, but DWTS didn't seem to put a strain on the relationship like the others.

I just think that every couple has to decide what is best for them since they are all different. Yes, talk to other people who have done stuff, learn from their experience, but ultimately, discuss it between yourselves as a couple, weigh the pros and cons, listen to one another and then decide.

I hope Lauren gets some of the new decor.

Anyone wanna place bets on who will throw the first shade: Ben, Lauren, Lauren's bestie, someone else?

The birthday one was really lame. Like I write more intimate birthday messages to my friends and dude's entire birthday message to his fiance was "Happy Birthday Lauren Bushnell". Like the hell?

Let me put my little bit in.  I am sincerely sorry for Lauren, but the minute he humiliate her about the wedding I would have be gone.  He did not have the balls to say that in private, shows his emotional intelligence is low.  She will find her way again and hopefully she will go back to work and move on from this night mare.

Lauren and the twins did Amanda's dirty work, so I fully expect to see them step in and do the same for her.

I was thinking the same. My money is on bestie Amanda.

Ben will shade with some 'inspirational quotes'. Lauren's sm will be in shambles, her friends will come to her defense there. Jmo

He already did ... yesterday I think.

It's crazy how we kind of all knew since months ago that they were breaking up. I guess speculating and putting things into perspective really works. These couples really make it so obvious.
