I'm almost tempted to watch while Chad's on, but then I'd have to watch Soules. And while he might be an ok guy, good tv he is not, IMO.

I haven't watched any of the show yet. I like Ben and Lauren well enough, but not enough to give up my regularly scheduled programs and see the endless parade of bach people, many who are far from my favs. Hugesmile

Will have to kept reading here to see if it's worth binge watching some time when the weather keeps me in and there's nothing else on. laugh out loud

JMOAA

Jmo, I don't think it's worth it. I watch it as a fan. But if Ben and Lauren are just "meh" to you (universally speaking), then it's not worth it. Maybe as background noise while doing something else though..? laugh out loud

IMO.

I watched it although wasn't paying close attention due to it not being that compelling. Everything seems like an agenda on the producers part. The brunch had to have been uncomfortable for everyone. I did laugh at Jojo's question. I doubt that Ben was really unsure about the televised wedding or least to that extent.

ITA that this is probably better for true fans. I like them well enough but not sure I'll rush to watch the next epi. The camping could be amusing at least.

I watch it cause I love Ben and Lauren. But if I weren't a fan I'd probably pass. I wouldn't call it high quality television. laugh out loud

Though overall I thought the second epi was sooooo much better than the first.

I'm curious to see if this sets a precedent for future spin offs. JoJo is already quoted somewhere as saying she'd consider something like this. And I def think Boothstowe would JUMP on this kind of opportunity.

^ JMO, I don't think there will be more spinoff's. Nor do I think there should be more. Honestly, I don't think any of these couples are/would produce quality entertainment or genuine interest. IMO.

^^ Well, agreed there, Len. I tune in cause I really like BenLo. I don't think there is a single other couple I would have bothered for. Maybe Des/Chris, but they'd never do something like this. I guess I like the boring couples. laugh out loud

I know social media is all about Kaitlyn and Shawn doing something like this, but to me I already watch their reality show on snap, and their kind of TV wouldn't appeal to me. To each their own! I'm probably the oddball with my couples of choice!

But have you seen Nick's commercial for Ben and Lauren? He asks if he is getting a happily ever after too... Too bad our little vanilla beans ruined his chances. He probably would have had more viewers too. Oh well.

What commercial?

by casjacknick Fri Oct 21, 2016 9:03 pm

It comes up when I watch freeform. It is just nick he tells everyone to watch B&L HEA then says wait I'm getting a HEA too right? And then it says the bachelor returns Mondays in January.

Ruined his chances of what? Own spin off show? Was it even in talks? Any hint about it? He hasn't even finished his bach season and Lauren/Ben get blamed for Nick not getting a spin off show.

I haven't seen the commercial but couldn't it just mean that Nick is asking if he is going to find happily ever after in life... stay tuned in January to see!

Monday, no Freeform shows made the top 150. Wednesday, their 13 nights of Halloween started and the Movie Monsterville got 427k and land at 61 on the list. Also, last week, no other Freeform show, besides B&L landed in the top 150.

Also, just for a little comparison, Kellie Picklers reality show which airs on CMT and is in its second season, got 227k viewers last Thursday. different networks but similar shows and I would think their viewership is probably close.

Thanks. Sounds like it's doing pretty well for them then?
