There's a lot of support, a lot of mixed, and some 'I wish it was ---' instead. It really depends where you look.

Honestly i love ben and lauren but i dont think the show will be a huge hit.....sorry.....and honestly i think they know they arnt the most entertaining people they have said it a million times....i think their publicity will still be the same because the same fans will be watching...I doubt they will be able to pick up a large audience other than the bachelor fans (doubt every single bachelor fan will be watching).....so technically i dont think they are gonna come out of it as very famous

Now back to Ben and Lauren, good luck to them!

They turned it down to do Marriage Boot Camp (and DWTS, CWS, etc, etc) instead?

Yes. They were offered the summer after DWTS ended and again around when their wedding was announced. They turned it down.

Yes. They were offered the summer after DWTS ended and again around when their wedding was announced. They turned it down.

But the point is, they will do shows like Marriage Boot Camp. They are no better than Ben and Lauren. Rolling Eyes

IMO

I wasn't saying they were better. I was simply pointing out that they turned down basically the same show Ben and Lauren are doing.

Again, wasn't comparing. Just answering the original question

FTR, I have my doubts that Ben was offered it.

If Sean turned down a paying show, there must have been an issue in the negotiating process laugh out loud

I think the reason they have been offered this now, and not just the wedding special, mostly has to do with ABC Family's switch to Freeform. It was renamed because they wanted to attract a more mature audience. Reality television is the current 18- 24 gold mine. This is them taking those steps to offer a different variety.
