Amanda Stanton has revealed why she believes Lauren Bushnell probably won The Bachelor star Ben Higgins' heart in the season's finale.

"I'm biased because I'm best friends with Lauren B., so I kind of always had this weird feeling it was going to be Lauren. I could just tell that when Ben came into a room, they just had something really special. So I think that being so close with her and seeing what I saw in the house, I would have to go with Lauren," Stanton said of the sweet flight attendant.
But that's not to knock Fletcher, a down-to-earth real estate developer.
"They are both amazing girls," Stanton continued. "I love JoJo. She's so much fun. They're both so great."
On Monday night, ABC will air The Women Tell All special during which Higgins will be confronted by all of his ex-girlfriends from the show prior to next week's broadcast of The Bachelor's season finale.
"I didn't know what to expect, and I was so nervous going into it. It's weird. You have to go back and comment about everything on the show, and you don't know how everyone is feeling," Stanton admitted.
"Some girls are angry, some girls are over it. And then seeing Ben after watching myself get eliminated, I didn't know if it was going to be awkward or if it was going to be fine. Honestly, I think it was really good. I was happy with everything."
Stanton said all the women on Season 20 were "portrayed pretty accurately" and America got "the gist." However, the single mom of two wishes she came across a little more exciting.
"Of course, there are things that are left out... I may have come off a little boring, but I think everybody comes off a little bit to the extreme of what they are. So it's like if somebody is a little crazy, they're going to come off like a complete psychopath. And if somebody is a little bit boring, they're going to come off as a complete snooze-fest, which I think was me... You're only seeing a portion," Stanton told Glamour.
Stanton additionally revealed her mother sent in an application for her to appear on The Bachelor and it was simply an opportunity she "couldn't pass up." And even though Higgins met Stanton's two daughters before dumping her at a Rose Ceremony, it doesn't seem like she has regrets.
"[Ben] was so good to [my girls], but they did ask about Ben [after the fact]. When I was on my hometown date, they were around Ben, but they were also around a ton of camera guys, production people, etc. that they met a ton of people that day," Stanton explained.
"Ben and I were never affectionate in front of them, kissing or hugging, so as far as they know, this was just my friend. They had an amazing time with him, and they have asked about him since. They love Ben and think he's great. They've also seen clips of The Bachelor and will say, 'There's our friend Ben! He chased us on the beach!' And it's so cute."
