The Bachelor - Ben??? No spoilers

I just watched the most painfully awkward ATFR ever! Could they have made it anymore awkward for, oh, I don't know...EVERYBODY??i didn't think so. JoJo's dresses and shirts always have the element of "Hi! My name is JoJo and these are my breasts!" (In case any of the more mature posters remember Gilda Radner's skit on SNL, playing Annette Funicello in Beach Blanket Bingo and introducing herself on the beach like that.) As if she was saying on that last day "if you choose me, you get these too!"

Not at all happy she's the next bachelorette. She's got that hint of vocal fry that makes me cringe. I don't know if I can make it through a whole season with her getting that much airtime.
well it was entertaining enough to let me forget about my DDS appointment tomorrow for 2 molar crowns..:scared::scared1::sad2:~but back on my brain now. I am a huge dental phobia type...so won't get much sleep
 

Okay. I think Ben's dad is quite sexy.

Hopefully the man can kiss.

I can't watch his Stepford son kiss for one more second (watching Kimmel right now so the threat is still there). Oh Lauren, I feel like wearing black for you.


so I didn't see JoJo's psycho brother's there....perhaps that is a clue. Wouldn't they be there if their sister was gettin' hitched/ Or maybe they are in another room drafting the prenup

Or maybe they took a last minute trip to Colorado. I am sure Denver is beautiful this time of year.

Best part of the night - Ben's mom comment about her son being in love with two women and having no clue who he loved more.

Mom - straight to the camera:

I find that disturbing

. :rotfl2:So do we Mrs. Higgins, so do we!

Was that Ricky Schroeder in the audience of ATFR?????

Couldn't tell. By then my brain was so numb I couldn't even tie my shoes.

Took me two hours to remember that I was wearing slippers.
 
DH walked through the room during the AfterParty, saw (H/J)oJo and asked, "Is that a Kardashian who's going to be the next Bachelorette?"

Definitely one of the Most.Boring.Seasons. EVER......

I think The Bachelor should get an Emmy for editing :rolleyes2. I was so convinced that it was Lauren all season until last night and then it seemed like he had a more passionate connection with JoHo. He seemed so stiff and reserved with Lauren and just plain relaxed and *happy* with HoJo. I also liked how she talked about herself and how she saw her life with Ben together. Lauren just talked about Ben, Ben, Ben like a good little Stepford Wife-to-be.

As for the final rose ceremony, why did he let HoJo ramble on? What a jerk. And why did he only tell HoJo that he was in love with Lauren in advance and not visa versa? I liked Ben for the most part but he really sucks at breaking up with women.
 
Did anyone see the happy couple on Good Morning America? When they were getting out of the car, Ben gets out first and reaches back like he's going to close the door and suddenly realizes...oh yeah, Lauren is there too. :laughing:

The new season starts May 23? That's just over two months away. That must be when they start filming?
 
Bang on Robin. They definitely are skilled at editing or Ben doesn't really want what he professes he does.

I hate to bring her name up here, sigh, but I felt the same with Chris and Kaitlyn's relationship. He seemed so incredibly relaxed and full of life around her. And uptight wirh others. Same with Ben last night. Full on laughs and smiles with JoJo. Guarded with Lauren.

As for not telling Lauren , she didn't ask - didn't want to know (who would want to know that! But you don't want to be blindsided either). JoJo did. And she asked outright.

Ben was cruel in my opinion on how he let JoJo be so incrediby vulnerable at the ceremony. And I think it was extra hard on JoJo because of the reasons she said herself - she felt she couldn't get angry wirh him as he is a "good guy".

Oh I forgot the second funny of the night, which came at a horrid moment for JoJo.

When she realized Ben loved Lauren , she said to the camera - "I am so tired of competing for someone's love (in life - her complete love life)".

I almost died. :rotfl2:

Honey, you applied for a show competing for one man's love. It just can't be the best place for you JoJo.
 
I also think he sees JoJo as his equal, a good thing. And puts Lauren on a pedestal. Which leads to me to believe Mr. I am not good enough is going to live on.

YES! That's why I was suddenly feeling like JoJo was such a good fit, especially with all the talk about being "best friends" on the show. I think that he thinks that Lauren is out of his league and is wow'd that she says that she loved him. Like he has to pinch himself that such a beautiful creature should even deign to even look at him.

Missed recording GMA, so I'm watching it now. Lauren says that she's not watching JoJo's section of the last few episodes. I think that's probably wise.

Totally agree. He seemed way more comfortable with JoJo on the last couple of dates. His mother also made a comment after meeting JoJo that she just saw something different between them than she did with Lauren. I think he & JoJo had way more chemistry. I honestly think if he had a couple more dates it would have been JoJo. I think he picked Lauren because they had feelings for each other from the beginning and his feelings for JoJo came a little later. But they were strong, very strong. I also think if it was a "tie", Lauren was a safer bet because her family was much more into him & the process. Jojo's family came across as a little crazy & he may not have wanted to deal with that.

I felt like they said all the "right" things last night & today on GMA, but didn't really say anything at all. She did mention though that she hadn't watched the final episode. Once she starts getting feedback on that, or watches it, she may have a change of heart.
 
Wow, wow, WOW.
You guys have nailed it!!!!

The comments that Ben's mom made were SO telling.
Ben is a lost little boy.
Seriously LOST.
No wonder he doesn't know who he loves when he doesn't begin to know what love is.
I liked the comment about the limo door!!!
Ben has said absolutely nothing about how committed he is and what he can offer Lauren.
It is all a 'Lost boy', commenting on how SHE has, and can, 'support' HIM.

Last night, all the footage that we never got to see, which meant that nobody really got to know Ben, really came to light.
He is a typical screwed up Lost Boy, who feels insecure and unloveable, (his words) so he is looking for a replacement 'mommie'.

Did any of you see the wife swap with Sean Lowe, and how Catherine kind of was roped in to moving in with him, and supporting his life. Down to every bite of food food that had to be prepared for him to meet his strict diet... and how she washed and ironed and folded his socks. He actually left her with his to-do list while he took off everyday to live his life.

Poor Lauren... Methinks that she is in for a similar command performance.
His issues will always, ALWAYS, have to come first.
