Oh, god. Hopefully he wasn't that big of an idiot to believe that. I mean, I literally can't imagine anyone with their head on straight thinking that the show would give Lauren the lead. IMO.

Maybe not the lead but possibly BIP? Probably not. She is too quiet and reserved for good TV. JMO

I do find it interesting although I don’t know quite how to interpret that she’s always trailed in IG followers to Becca. Even with new spoilers out, she hasn’t gained ground . She’s about 50k less than Becca and throughout has maintained that spread . Does that mean that even as new spoiled F1 people don’t care for her ? I thought F1 garnered a lot of support .

I think she has been edited to come across as cool and standoffish. People don't exactly gravitate to that, however, I will be interested if things change once the show is over. If Becca is indeed the Bette, I doubt Lauren will catch up. Of course, if she is the reason for Becca's heartache, I still don't think she will catch up. I have feeling it will be a mess.

Have we kept track of Arie's SM numbers? Have they gone up since the start of the show? Where there changes when the switcheroo spoilers started coming out?

A. yes, Arie is an idiot. Def not the sharpest tool in the shed

B. I never thought the show would seriously consider Molly either, but Jason fell for that one. Molly was every bit as awkward and reserved on camera as Lauren was.

He’s currently at 356k and not sure the exact numbers but it’s rising . Which makes it interesting that Lauren hasn’t jumped up the way he did. Plus she’ seems to be trying hard to draw attention to her IG and thusfar 53k aren’t biting . I think you’re right why. Jmo

Lauren is a pretty girl with an amazing body, but the bottom of that dress is not flattering IMO. A little fring is cute, that makes her look wide to me. JMO.

A bit OT, is it just me or does it look like a tornado blew through the FRC site just before Lauren and Becca showed up. These venues have been sketchy for a few seasons now, but this one especially. Meanwhile, the natural beauty of Peru is striking. Why are the interns throwing all this "stuff" around the area?

@pavalygurl Maybe Arie threw a temper tantrum when they “forced him” to pick Becca for the greatest bachelor conspiracy ever? 
JMO.

 I actually likened those lumps of erratic colored cloth as scattered dead bodies earlier, a ceremonial burial ground circa TB 2018.

Yup - tacky! I need to go back and check out Rachel's proposal scene...all I remember is that crazy wind storm. But hey -- maybe that storm blew all the random props away!
