I respect your opinions, however it's as if they are fact. How did Lauren pay more attention to what people said when she hardly responded to the SM trolls? She always did her own thing regardless of all the hate she kept getting. If it bothered her, she'd stay home and knit socks.

Ben didn't need to pay any attention, he always had very positive posts on his SM. How do you know he comforted her privately? He doesn't seem to have a problem defending himself on SM why would he not defend Lauren on SM?

As is him giving advice and talking about representing Christ and and I just can't even with his whole "the last few months have not gone the way I preferred" statement. Seriously dude. Take some responsibility and ownership for your OWN actions instead of looking at things not going your way. So selfish and self-absorbed IMO and totally lacking accountability or any real self-reflection or growth other than Ben still thinking his stuff don't stink, again IMO. It's like he just took some inspirational quotes and threw them together in his little statement. And again, if there is only a "small" minority criticizing then no need to worry about making statements. The fact that this guy who literally had the media talking about him being the Bachelor AGAIN right after his breakup is all bent out of shape because some people don't care for him that he posts about it? Talk about totally losing grip with reality and having too high of an opinion of himself IMO. This dude has had it the easiest of any recent contestant IMO and yet he still whines

I completely agree. I HATE when these contestants bring out the religion card in the Instagram. What on earth does him being a Christian have to with anything? It comes across as self righteous, 'better than', humble brag.

I do not want Ben 2.0. He had his chance as the Bachelor and he found "his person". Will perfect Ben keep getting chances as the Bachelor until he finds the perfect one? I liked Ben, but now just feel kind of neutral about him. I also think that he lacks charisma. jmo

I can't recall Ben ever responding to internet trolls except for his latest post supporting Lauren after her stupid Fitzgerald post. She, on the other hand, responded several times, turned off comments, and has posted passive aggressive snaps/IG stories.

Ben hasn't responded to Internet trolls because IMO by and large they were going after Lauren. It's Ben's turn now and he's self destructing laugh out loud

by **GuardianAngel** Tue May 30, 2017 11:00 pm

For the amount of hate Lauren was getting, daily, IMO she hardly responded to SM trolls.

It's not even been a couple of weeks, and Ben has already posted a couple of times.

@bleuberry
How true. It's so much easier of a fall when you aren't falling.
And now--she literally does not have to respond. And if she can hold out --really can, in a year which in social media life is a life time :rofl she could possibly go back to being a flight attendant if she wanted to and it wouldn't be a hazard to the industry

Yeah, and I for one find having everything about your looks and personality picked apart, being constantly compared to another woman and being pitted against your own fiancé way worse than being called a famewhore, which is more like calling a spade a spade in Ben's case IMHO. If he wants to further his "career" by doing a stupid podcast with the most annoying attention seeker from the show (IMO) then it is what it is. He clearly has other aspirations than his current fulltime job and charity ventures. Might as well own up to it instead of getting butthurt when it's pointed out. JMO.

Ben is a lot like Sean. They both were treated extremely well as TB. They both seemed shocked when they stopped getting that and handled it poorly. Like Sean, Ben will keep getting opportunities and will take them. I find Ben less sanctimonious than Sean, he shares his beliefs but doesn't force them on others, IMO. I think if Ben doesn't get grounded he like Sean will become a caricature of this show. JMO.

by bleuberry Wed May 31, 2017 11:50 am

Now now I don't dislike Ben that much (yet) laugh out loud

. But yes if keeps up with this then I can see him reaching Sean levels. JMO.
