I hate to say it but maybe RS is right. Although I can not see Sean or Lochte being the bachelor right now and Roberto is seeing someone or does RS know that.

eta: so confused. Can not wait until some announcement is made.

“@carebear_cp: “@RealitySteve: Arie is not going to be the Bachelor. That's why they're called rumors.” i can't wait til he is proven wrong yet again”

@RealitySteve: @carebear_cp Keep waiting then. Ain't wrong about this one.

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...

I keep thinking that I'd like new blood and then I remember Lorenzo/Matt/Jesse - maybe when they take a person they have experience with it works out better (although there was Jake).

As for a different story line I suggested somewhere a couple of months ago that during the Fantasy dates the couples should have to arrange (with tptb money - set amount) their own dates and get themselves to the airport and hotel. They'd quickly find out if they travel well together and agree on doing the same sort of activities.

It's interesting. I'd love to know if he actually knows anything. Someone here captured a shot of his blog where he wrote something along the lines of, "I can tell you I am 1000% sure it's Roberto. End of story." This was about two weeks before he actually said, again on the blog, "I never said it was definitely Roberto." no idea

If I were in their age group and choosing between Arie and Sean for a date. It would be Arie -- no contest, but.....

When it comes to this show, I think Sean's sincerity would go far to making it romantic.

I vote for Sean.

You have a point there, JL. I do remember the days of a new person each time and thinking "I'd love to see some familiar faces" and now that I got what I asked for, I'm ready for something new. Grass is always greener syndrome I guess. :Smiley:

I edited my response to include an idea about a new storyline - you're too fast for me.

I guess he figures there's a difference between 1000% and definitely. I hate when people say over 100% - totally incorrect.

I think MF was interviewed as saying that they wont go with an unknown again.

but now I realize that it is better to feature a bachelor or bachelorette that the audience is already invested in.

I remember hearing him say that, but it all comes down to ratings and ultimately money. If he needs to change his mind some day, he will, I think.

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?

So tell me, pavalygurl (doing my best Katie Couric interview voice) just what do you think the chances are we'll see Arie's package? Hmmmm?
