Lauren Bushnell - Bachelor 20 - *Sleuthing - Spoilers* - #2

I was a little confused that RS described her as "confident" because she came across pretty shy in that first video of her on a date with Ben. After the episode though, I totally see how she is both - I like that she has a quiet sweetness to her without appearing insecure or awkward.

For some reason, Bachelors are never allowed to give F1 the FIR, although of them have admitted later that they knew night one (Ben f, Brad, JP, etc). Yet, three Bachelorettes have given FIR to their f1. I wonder why that is.

During the after show Ben was asked if he could have given a second FIR who it would have gone to and he said it was the lady that said that she had two requirements...same morals and chemistry. I think her name is Jennifer and she is the contestant that I thought was the best looking.

I think it was Jennifer too - long dark hair and I think a long black gown.

I don't know if Ben trusts himself to say Lauren's name out loud to the press I noticed it first on Jimmy Kimmel he was like clinching his lips during Lauren's part

Both of her brothers tweeted during the show

I noticed that. Her friend that she was with at the Grove the other day also tweeted "#LaurenB takes my breath away" and was faving tweets from Catherine (she always favs Cat.) She faved the tweets where Catherine said Ben was a wholesome hottie/it was gonna be a great season and she faved the one that said Ben was her fav bachelor yet. The Twitter account is in Lauren's follows, btw. I think it's kellyunderhill

I know he said Jennifer, but I don't know if she really was his second choice or if he just said that to keep from spoiling the ending. I think Jennifer is the best looking too, but they didn't really have any chemistry and he wasn't leaning in or flirting like he was with Olivia (the dimples thing) or Lauren. I don't think she ever gets  a 1-on-1 or GDR, so I don't think she was a major player. 

Did anyone also notice that Jennifer's two requirements were almost word for word what Ben had said to Kaitlyn when she asked him what he wanted in a wife on their date in Ireland? Don't think that was a coincidence.

Not sure where to put the Lauren/Ben caps...so I'm dropping them here. Feel free to move them to other threads. Not sure how many pics I should put in one post, so I'll stop here for now and add more in a little bit.

This is a series of shots as Lauren tells Ben her reaction to seeing him from the limo.
















(all my scs)

Thanks Litta. I will create a new category for Ben and Lauren and add threads for their s/caps.

It's funny but she looks naked in those pictures. The chemistry seems very strong. I'm reading from his expression that he wants to kiss her in the fourth s/cap from the bottom.

JMO, Ben is not good at pretending. I think he avoided saying Lauren B to not give anything away. On JK he seemed to be "biting his tongue " to not say too much.

Lauren/Ben Round 2.

Btw, I was struck by how Lauren does a really good job of maintaining eye contact with Ben throughout -- a great way to communicate interest.

Also, I have yet to capture Lauren's exit out of the limo. Is there any interest in having caps for this? If so, I'll get to it later.
