‘The Bachelor’ spoilers: Where Lauren Bushnell, JoJo Fletcher, Caila Quinn stand with Ben Higgins

Tonight marks the final episode of “The Bachelor” before the “Women Tell All,” and for the first time all season, we’re actually feeling fairly confident about where all of Ben Higgins’ contenders stand. There are, granted, only three people left, but the delineation is so much clearer between the ladies than it has been to date.

There are no spoilers ahead; everything that we are writing from here on out is just mere speculation based on the edit on the show so far.

3. Caila Quinn – There are previews showing Caila continuing to doubt things with Ben, and that’s been a recurring theme all season long. Caila is your token third-place finisher if there ever was one. Her edit is reasonably similar to Kaitlyn’s from last season, even to the point where the two got the same sort of cheesy one-on-one date with the help of a celebrity. This in turn probably makes her the top “Bachelorette” contender.

2. JoJo Fletcher – Before the hometown dates, we would have put her almost in a tie for first place. The problem here is that we feel like Ben will gravitate towards the relationship that presents the fewest possible problems, and there is a glaring one now courtesy of JoJo’s brothers, who have made their feelings towards him rather clear.

1. Lauren Bushnell – At this point, there is almost zero reason for Ben to go in any other direction, unless of course he is starting to worry himself over what Leah Block said a little while ago. He has the best physical relationship with her, they have a good rapport, and it seems as though their lives fit together easily.
