The Bachelor 17 - Speculation/Spoilers - Discussion

Well if it isn't Arie who most likely will it be? Neither Sean or Roberto have been that much on the front burner

I resemble that remark. Well except for the "bored" part. The voices in my head are actually quite amusing (ht your sig line).

All I remember that by the time the announcement came, we had a good number of tweets/sightings of Ben's introduction pacakge being shot. I wonder if MF will come out soon and announce or let it be leaked via social media?

I really hope we get confirmation soon!! I can't stand not knowing for sure, though I really can't imagine who else it would be at this point. None of the other guys seem to be doing anything that would indicate they are TB.

I have a question... I know that there were sightings of a film crew with Arie at a restaurant for an hour... correct? I can't for the life of me think of any other intros that included a restaurant. Haven't most of them been thoughtful gazes looking out over the city, jogging/playing on the beach, a shot or two of the home? Has there been an intro that had a scene in a restaurant? If they were there for an hour, it seems like thats enough time for a whole meal!

Show of hands please. How many of you want Arie to be Bachelor if only to make RS go crazy and to enjoy the Kaboom?
It's reasons number 2 and 3 on my list.

@RealitySteve Rumor has it Arie is filming The Bachelor intros in AZ...how did you miss the scoop so badly?

RealitySteve ‏@RealitySteve
@Lilly_Laughter Arie is not going to be the Bachelor. That's why they're called rumors.

Gosh, he has really gone all in on this one, hasn't he. What does he think he knows?

Well, that settles it. Wasn't sure whether I wanted Arie involved in The Bachelor or not but now, without a doubt, I hope it's him!!!

Has anyone tweeted MF to let him know that RS says there is absolutely no way that Arie will be the bachelor? Seems like knowing that would make Arie MF's #1 choice. Anything to have another reason to KABOOM!

LOL I don't have it out for RS like the rest of you - I've been reading his site for years and will continue to - but yes, it would be tremendously entertaining to watch how RS handles that news!

RS is just a gnat for MF to swat away. MF has all the money and industry power he needs to make his shows any way he sees fit. We can all despise him, but we all watch. Frankly, I think it's MF's best bet to freshen the whole franchise by going with someone totally new and intriguing....maybe he is recruiting a person of color or someone with a fascinating profile that no one has seen before. Who of us would not tune in to see what he had up his sleeve? I think many watchers are getting sick of the same old, fan favorites notwithstanding.

I agree. Mixed feelings about Arie, or anyone I really like being TB. And even more than that, would love to see new blood and a different story line...
