@bleuberry IA and something else that just annoyed me while checking his last post. He posted his novel with a pic of him on his new podcast with the most annoying IMO person in the history of this franchise.

Maybe a biblical quote would have been more appropriate considering the message and not an ad for his new podcast JMO's.

What has it been now, 3 weeks since they announced the break up? And how many quotes do they have from different interviews and social media posts? Blabber mouth has been all over the place talking about it. I'm thinking this promo isn't just for the podcast, there's something else they're promoting Ben for. Jmo.

Oh, what do you know. Anti snap/SM Ben has started using IG stories now to promote his dumb podcast. He's more chatty than ever before.

Did Lauren even speak about their break up ? Looks like perfect Ben just being the one talking about it publicly laugh out loud

Unbelievable! I'm lmao at his total 180. And it's happened so fast too.

The only thing that could make Ben worse would be Ben in a podcast with BOR and MM, IMO.

As is him giving advice and talking about representing Christ and and I just can't even with his whole "the last few months have not gone the way I preferred" statement. Seriously dude. Take some responsibility and ownership for your OWN actions instead of looking at things not going your way. So selfish and self-absorbed IMO and totally lacking accountability or any real self-reflection or growth other than Ben still thinking his stuff don't stink, again IMO. It's like he just took some inspirational quotes and threw them together in his little statement. And again, if there is only a "small" minority criticizing then no need to worry about making statements. The fact that this guy who literally had the media talking about him being the Bachelor AGAIN right after his breakup is all bent out of shape because some people don't care for him that he posts about it? Talk about totally losing grip with reality and having too high of an opinion of himself IMO. This dude has had it the easiest of any recent contestant IMO and yet he still whines

I completely agree. I HATE when these contestants bring out the religion card in the Instagram. What on earth does him being a Christian have to with anything? It comes across as self righteous, 'better than', humble brag.

All Ben said was, "Personally, my basis for judging myself is simple, if I do something that doesn’t represent Christ then I will listen to the opinions and words from family and friends who know me best and love me. I do desire (by the direction of family and peers) to become a better person daily. I know some will not agree with my intentions but in all things my pursuit is to represent Christ better."

IMO, this isn't bragging at all. He's just saying that he lives for Christ and he wants to do his best to represent him. IMO, Ben being Christian has everything to do with who he is. IMO, that's how it is for most people who believe and practice their faith. There's nothing wrong with him talking about it. If it makes him who he is, why should he have to hide it?

JMO but I highly doubt Christ would go on TV to make out with multiple women at the same time and tell two women he is in love with them and then do a bit with his bros on HEA regarding their penises while also breaking off a wedding and then talking about how "great" his relationship is when he hardly spent any time with his then fiance.

Sorry but to me Ben is totally sanctimonious and full of it talking about his "pursuit to represent Christ better" when Ben's ACTIONS are anything but IMHO.

Well his ex ex Shaelin commented on his last IG post "So proud of you Ben Higgins - Bachelor 20 - Discussion - Page 42 1f4ab

". The fact that she's now brave enough to even post on his IG is really something. Something stinks and Ben is no saint. I bet Ben was talking about his relationship with Lauren for a while with her. hmm..

IMO, I highly doubt this. We can bring up whatever past interviews this girl has done, but I don't think there's any bad blood between Shaelin and Ben. I think Lauren's been the one super chatty with friends, not Ben. That article from US Weekly or something that came out in February talking about Ben and Lauren having issues -IMO definitely came from someone close to Lauren. Actually, didn't it say Lauren's friends in the article? And if I was Ben, I'd be so annoyed with that. Riley and Naz, who run Humanity & Hope live in Austin where Shaelin lives, and is close friends with both her and Ben.

I bet they're going to end up together imo.
