Oregon's Lauren Bushnell Is Happily Ever After on Freeform

Lauren Bushnell - who gained the nation's interest as one of the stars as The Bachelor - returned to to the reality stage on Tuesday when her new show debuted on Freeform.

Ben and Lauren: Happily Ever After? picks up where The Bachelor left off. Ben had been the bachelor and he gave his final rose to Lauren. Now they live at his place in Colorado.

Much of the drama of the first hour focused on whether or not they should appear on a special with JoJo Fletcher who lost out to Lauren on The Bachelor.

Other drama involved Lauren playing an Oreo-related trick on Ben, her shopping for a new toilet - which she does with the help of a pair of twins who had been on The Bachelor with them, and the fact Ben is afraid of clowns, which seems oddly well-timed.

Also, about 30 minutes in a street sweeper drives past them and Lauren professes surprise that such a thing exists. Is that really possible?

And why is there a question mark in the show's title? Might have to do with the fact the producers seem to be setting up JoJo as a "villain."

"Perhaps Ben could still have feelings for JoJo," Lauren muses at one point.

Lauren's parents are from Lake Oswego but moved to West Linn where she grew up.
