The Bachelor 20 - Ben Higgins - Episode 9 - Discussion - #2 *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

What a great episode last night

I can't really say that he's an idiot for saying what he did to both girls last night, but I think he's an idiot for saying what he did in the preview for the finale. It's definitely JoJo he says that "I love you" to that looks super emotional and genuine. Bro, shut up.

She has been caring and always checking in with him while I get the impression Lauren just wants to win. She knows Ben has been chasing her all season and is happy to revel in his adoration. Ben will keep chasing her in their relationship going forward and it will be him working to make sure she stays with him.
but with JOjo he will have an equal who is as invested in making the relationship work and last.

THIS!

FYI working on SCs of the preview right now

Loving them both  and just being overall confused I can live with. But expressing it to both so freely, 4-5 times, knowing full well that you're about to send one packing in a few days, well that's just crappy. If JoJo tells him off at her rejection, he'll deserve every bit of it IMO.

In the grand scheme, I don't think it's one of those things that'll break Lauren and him, it can be overcome easily I think depending on what they've built since then and will continue to build. But yeah, it still sucks for her to watch.

Hope Lauren is channelling Emily today. Ben better be sending flowers and chocolate stat.

A cute comment like 'I fell a little bit for JoJo too, she's so amazing' from Lauren would cover for Ben a lot. And 'we all saw how head over heels for Lauren Ben was/is' from JoJo will do the same.

True that...I think much of this distress and oh no, how could he ? can be diffused by Lauren and Jojo. Gosh, that boy sure is lucky, and I think he knows it- he's said it. He's grateful. If I see Ben and Lo cutesie and in love after this, then kudos to them!! Being in a committed relationship is hard work.

Having rewatched and slept on it .. Some interesting observations .. Just a few .. Not all
- all the ?ILYs .. Huge difference in the emotion behind them .. Lauren's more gente and sweeter and emotional .. JoJo more direct with less emotion .. And word dubbing on a couple of those for sure
- Lauren showing more doubt in upcoming previews .. She has a thumb .. So to speak .. On the possibility that Ben can love 2 .. JoJo more confident .. And a bit snide .. as noted by her facial expressions at the RC
- Ben appears to come a bit clean with Lauren in the previews .. Sitting on the beach .. Will also creat more doubt for Lauren .. As we see with the tears and her comments in the preview
- Bens comment to Lauren about what he has done wrong is very telling
- Lauren .. Ben has the strongest emotional attachment .. JoJo .. Ben has a huge physical attachment

Just some thoughts

Well he's admitting he's engaged at the end of it all..
