It was from the weekend he visited Graham in June. When J.P., Tyler, Graham, and Roberto hung out. graham just retweeted the pic. Here's the original tweet from Roberto's thread from that weekend.

I just skimmed and see Arie's old tweets have been brought up.

Bottom line, Arie was trying to reach 2k followers and was hardly in the public eye when he tweeted. Sean has over 100k followers and was in the public eye when he tweeted.

I'm not a fan of Sean's sexist attitude so pretty much anything he says will rub me the wrong way. Each to their own.

Jesse Palmer is Canadian, Matt is British and Lorenzo has Italian ancestry that was played up during his season. So it's a non-issue that Arie was born in the Netherlands and grew up in America.

Just an honest question; Would you consider Arie to be 'a pig about women' (and making sexist comments) when he tweets about Ashley Hebert having thin lips and being bow legged (and that being the final nail in the coffin for her) and also tweeting he wishes some girl he sees buying condoms to be hotter (''if only she was hotter..'') ?

(For the record, I do not think he is. I might not particularly care for those few comments/tweets he made, but just like Sean said and from what I've seen of Arie as a whole, I think he is a sweetheart and I really like him :Smiley: )

Even as a die hard team Arie fan I have to agree with you. Love, love, love Arie but know he is not perfect and has and probably will say things that not everyone will agree with. Those two comments he made last year are not my favorites but they don't make me think any less of him or make me not think he's a great person. I don't think Sean meant any harm in those comments and he said and has only said great things about Arie. I think, as others have posted, he was describing how different the shows would be and what kind of audiences it would bring.

Thanks for your answer :Smiley: And I agree with everything you wrote.
I also know Sean is not perfect and I'm fully prepared for there to be some things he says or does that I'm not going to like. But very seldom do I think that 'one comment/tweet/whatever makes a person' (hope that made sense). Both Sean and Arie are going to say or do things that some people don't like and make mistakes like everyone else, that's just the way it is and everyone is entitled to their opinions, but IMO both of these men are good people at heart and neither being out to hurt others.

P.S. - Totally didn't mean to put my 2 cents in when you weren't asking me. Just realized you were directing that question to someone else, not generally. Sorry.

No problem at all!!

I don't know that Sean was trying to push his all American blonde self by highlighting that Arie's different but it's hard not to be sensitive in light of the political stuff out there. Hopefully Sean didn't mean to put his foot in his mouth at least. I liked him on the show but there have been a couple of question marks since.

I think Emily O was being a good sport but she made a comment later that made me wonder. Maybe just joking or maybe Sean annoyed her. :greenman:

Already in withdrawal from @kacielynnb @TheOverAnalyst @JackieGordon @GrahamBunn @DaveLGood ... But glad to finally be away from @SeanLowe09

Wow, she continues to be her frank self, doesn't she? And to put David Good, the ever PC msensitive man, ahead of Sean...hmmm.....

I could totally be wrong but I would assume the tweets about/to/from them are totally joking, sarcastic, and just having fun. Again, I could totally be wrong but I have seen some of his more sarcastic side come out on twitter, and SOME of his tweets have been funny so I can actually see them getting along. I don't think there is a reason they wouldn't get along, or at least not enough to be posting on twitter that they basically don't care for one another. I thought I read somewhere around here that she had a boyfriend so the making out w/ homeless person, I took to be an inside joke or something. Again, that's just my take in wanting to give them the benefit of the doubt.

I thought Emily was joking, sort of teasing Sean.

I thought they were both joking. I guess whether or not it was in good taste is a matter of personal preference. I wasn't insulted by the tweet, and I don't know what was behind it. Maybe I should be insulted. I think they probably both have a very sarcastic sense of humor and they probably like each other (as friends). But, what do I know?

I do recall thinking that she fits all the criteria that Sean listed in his last interview. Plus, I think he likes blondes.

I agree, she was joking - that's her being sarcastic.

Some people call that foreplay. Just saying

I agree with y'all! I thought Sean's original tweet about making out was a sarcastic, flirty tweet to her. And hers back read the same to me.

I also didn't think Sean was trying to make a dig at Roberto or Arie. So maybe I'm way off in my judgement of the tweets... Having followed Sean's tweets post show he has a more sarcastic sense of humor so that is how I took the tweet exchange. As for the interview, my thoughts are somewhere up thread. I don't think he every thought the answer would be read the way it has or he may have answered differently. But again, JMO!

Sean is often bombarded with matchmaking hints or wishes for romances with Emily, Kacie B or Courtney Kerr. Honestly, I think that he and all of them have turned into bit of a running joke about fans. They're friendly and sarcastic to each other but I don't see any romances developing with any of them. JMO, but I think it's their response to dealing with fandom.
