"Ben And Lauren: Happily Ever After" follows the lives of newly engaged "Bachelor" couple Ben Higgins and Lauren Bushnell. It tackles about the eventual wedding of the couple which met a few hiccups one of which is Ben Higgins canceling the wedding.

In the latest episode of "Ben And Lauren: Happily Ever After", Ben and Lauren got into their charitable selves to help a woman named Ranya get a house makeover. As the "Bachelor" couple worked side by side on the house, Ben realized that working together with Lauren has emphasized his need to have someone who shares the same values as him.

The emotional Ben Higgins profusely thanked Lauren, who he called the brains of the operation of their home makeover, of which Lauren reciprocated by saying that Ben's gratitude is the best anniversary gift she could ask for. Did Lauren somehow forgot that Ben Higgins just recently called off their wedding?

It seems celebrating their one-year anniversary doing charitable works didn't keep Ben from surprising Lauren even more. Over the romantic dinner, Ben prepared for Lauren, the couple shared the highs and lows of their year.

Ben said one of the lows for him was when he fell in love with Lauren and his preconceived notion that life with Lauren would be easy is harder than he thinks. He acknowledges that he has been jerking Lauren around by how confusing he was for the past year.

In the end, Ben takes back his word on canceling their wedding. He says, "I made a big mistake by pushing off the wedding. I don't want to lose this girl". Well, it seems Ben and Lauren indeed will get their happily ever after.

But does this sudden turn of events seem fake to you? Well, a lot of viewers think so too. Rumors are going around that "Ben And Lauren: Happily Ever After" are suffering a decline of viewership and ratings. Ben Higgins and Lauren Bushnell need the cash flow from their reality show to pay for their wedding.

The sudden cancellation of their wedding and now it being back on again has gotten people to think that it was scripted to get the viewers interest back on their reality show. Even if there is a spike in viewership and ratings, most are still finding "Ben And Lauren: Happily Ever After" boring.
