Yeah, I didn't see any annoyance about the podcast either. I thought she was pretty not-commital about all the questions -- Ben, The Bachelorette, the Ring, her blog, etc... except for the apartment in LA, she is definitely getting an apartment in LA.

I agree about her being non commital about all the questions. She basically answered everything as an "I don't know", "maybe", "not right now", "I don't know what the future holds." Very open for any possibilities. Probably for 3 reasons: 1) She truly doesn't know what's going to happen 2) She was trying to be nice 3) She doesn't want anything to come back and bite her in the azz if she does something that she originally said she wasn't going to do.

IMO.

Agree. So basically imo she handled that well.

The only thing that TMZ video made me think about is botox. IMO, she's definitely get it. Also, she chose to stand there and answer lame TMZ dudes questions. IMO, she could have easily said no comment. And IMO, she should have because she sounds like a dumb 17 year old, not a 27 year old woman.

I agree with you guys that she's handled the last few weeks really well. I hope she continues with that and leaves the past behind her.

That's interesting that you see it that way, because I see the exact opposite She didn't sound dumb to me, but rather gave reasonable answers and looked as positive as it was possible in that moment. I'm happy to see this side of her.

imo.

I tried to watch her interview with an open heaet, I really did try.
But yea, she is acting like those imo stupid twins, "... yea... I mean .. like..." , " I mean like..."

To me it's not about the content, it's the way she talks and blinks with those very very empty eyes. Imo, it's nothing about going through the breakup, it's more about she is really that empty inside.

Can't stand her still, 1.5mins of her is my limit.

IMO one of them definitely needs to be saying 'no comment' more often and I'm not sure it's Lauren. JMO.

I did finally watch the TMZ video. It's painful watching. She is all kinds of awkward. It's like she was looking at someone off to the side the whole time. And she left the whole question about getting back together again kind of up in the air. WTH??? If the split has been in the works for months, you would think she would have thought about how to answer some of these questions because she will be asked the same stuff repeatedly. I have a blog...fashion...I'll be working on that. Really? Kind of like you've been working on it up till now? It is sad watching some of these people get caught up in the idiocy of this show. I liked it much better when they went for the fun of it and then pretty much went back to their regular lives.

I think she's just stupid, it's no wonder the twins and Duh are her best friends.

I thought it was awkward too but who enjoys talking to TMZ? She seemed flustered.

Yeah, but this isn't her first rodeo. She has done a ton of interview since Ben picked her as his F1. I remember right after their final and she was doing interviews with Ben, I thought she did very well. She seemed more articulate and camera ready than he was. She knows the drill now. I would have thought she would have been prepared for these questions no matter what.

IMO, the interview might've been set up. Reality TV stars sometimes do this to kind of control the narrative. She put up two pictures on her IG story that said she was at the Portland airport flying Alaska Air heading back to "Lala Land." Convenient timing or maybe not IMO.
