The Bachelor - Ben??? No spoilers

[lisaviolet]

I don't think he's really in love with anyone but Lauren. I would be shocked if he picked anyone else.

I think he will pick Lauren as well.

But question Robin - if you think he doesn't love anyone else do you think his words or promo with his parents about being so torn and loving two women is false? Even telling two women.

No sarcasm, curious.

Do you think that it is not possible? Or do you think he is such a sweet man that he is merely torn to let someone go that he is simply close to? Or misguided about his own feelings?

I think he loves JoJo as well and I think his parents taking to one girl more has a great impact on Ben. And obviously I think that girl is Lauren.

OT, but holy cow are both girls their father's lookalikes! I couldn't figure out the looks in JoJo's family but the half-siblings explained that.

I think that the producers make him say that. He's probably close to the F2 and F3 and likes them a lot, but he's not in love.

I am still shocked by the wine bottle. I really thought I was seeing things.

She must have been drunk very early to do that on camera. It was funny to see in the moment but sad too.

I guess I am gullible Robin. He just seems like the kind of man that would not do that for the camera or the show, no matter how much pressure. Especially since he seems in agony over it. And I am not a huge Ben lover, as in besides being sweet he doesn't do anything for me.

I suppose I am naive.

Her father seemed sweet though.

I thought he came across as cowed by the rest of the family.
Could be just editing though.

Thought so too. Weren't there a few bottles on that table already?

I was amused by the look her husband gave her like "Knock it off!".

?

Well you can be sweet and overtaken. . Insert wink.

Missed that. Must return to the scene of the crime.

...Must return to the scene of the crime.

...the only crime being committed is that we have to SIT through this muck....

The human animal is always attracted to scenes of carnage...

 

[lillygator]

jo jo's family was a nutcase!

 

[kimmar067]

...you ain't kiddin'!

 

[kimmar067]

The human animal is always attracted to scenes of carnage...

....or a jail sentence with no time off for good behavior...

 

[pkondz]

There is very little "good" behavior on the The Bachelor!

 

[lisaviolet]

Every time I hear Ben go on about how he is in love with two women while he brings three to the overnights, I think wow is it ever going to suck to be numero tres. I believe that lucky woman is Caila.

FWIW, Ben has already said publicly that his Fantasy Suite dates are going to be PG. How long ago did filming wrap up? This interview (no spoilers as far as I can see) was from December: http://www.people.com/article/bachelor-ben-higgins-says-fantasy-suites

Thanks Robin. Will check it out.
If he is stating he is in love with two women, unless they have edited out of order, I don't get why he didn't send the third home if he had that clarity. Send her home at the same time as Amanda.

 

[Disneylover99]

I like Caila. I hope she's the next Bachelorette. I just don't really see a connection between her and Ben.
Jojo? Crazy family and she always seems stressed to me.
I think unless something goes seriously wrong in the Fantasy Suite, Lauren's number one.

 

[pkondz]

I like Caila. I hope she's the next Bachelorette.

After the hometown, Caila really grew on me.
And... can you imagine the bombshell if Lauren went home next??

well we would know FOR SURE that she would be asked to be the next Bachelorette, lol...but I'm placing my bet on her for the final rose. I don't know that she will actually accept a proposal though..I keep picturing her saying she wants to continue on in hopes of getting engaged or the like.
