And of course you are an authority? You work for TB? So we should all just fall at your feet and agree with whatever you say?

Not likely!!!

IG,

Thank you! From reading some of the comments here, one would think that there was actual inside info or access. No one here knows what Arie wanted or didn't want. To even pretend to speak for him is a kind of hubris that is quite unfortunate.

I don't know why it's necessary for anyone to try to put Arie down or invent scenarios or theories. There was an article posted that stated what happened.

It is true that Arie is still under contract and has an obligation. So the idea that he is jumping up and down to film a segment for Sean's season, doesn't make much sense to me.

Regarding the bolded, I can say the exact same thing about all the people who THINK that Arie was offered the role and that he turned them down, no one knows that, so to state that as a fact is quite unfortunate too!!

Nowhere in those articles is written that they offered him the role, only that he took himself out of the running, that's it!
So until someone says specifically that they offered Arie the role first, we will never know what happened!!

Unless some of his fans do actually know. There is always this possibility. Just because someone or someones does/do not come out to say a source yada yada does not mean otherwise. It is very possible that posters do know this and are not coming out and offering more info. This is always a possibility, but seriously the speculation is over. D U N.
Sean will be the one on the screen January 2013. So not much more to discuss. It's mute, and unconsciously subconscious. No fowl no harm.

Arie Luyendyk Jr.: "I Passed on" Being the Next Bachelor

Entertainment September 21, 2012 AT 6:00PM By Allison Corneau

Arie Luyendyk, Jr. was dumped by Bachelorette Emily Maynard this spring on ABC, but the 30-year-old race car driver wasn't interested in getting a second shot at love as the network's next Bachelor.

"I passed on Bachelor this season, just to concentrate on racing," Luyendyk told Us Weekly at Thursday's Los Angeles Confidential Magazine Pre-Emmy party in West Hollywood. Intending to resume his career as a professional driver, the former reality TV contestant -- whose rejection of the spinoff gave way for Roberto Martinez and Sean Lowe to be considered -- credits his time on The Bachelorette with helping him refocus his priorities.

"I've moved on from the Bachelor franchise and I'm doing well. When I was in that environment, I gained a lot of clarity on what I wanted to do in life and for me it really made me just focus on my career when I got out," says Luyendyk. "That's my first love and I'm pursuing that right now."

That said, Maynard's ex -- who placed second on the May finale to Maynard's new fiance Jef Holm -- isn't shutting the door entirely on a future in television.

"I'll never say never. You just never know what the future can hold," he told Us. "I'm open to everything as long as it doesn't conflict with racing. Hopefully I won't be off the TV set for too long."

Tell Us: Would Arie have made a good Bachelor?

JMO but RE is a good bachelor already. I mean who needs the machine?

I agree. People use this show for many reasons and I'm just glad that Arie chose to quite while he's ahead, so to speak. He's going out on a high, reputation intact AND he was the one to turn them down... just like Chris L did. This article also puts to bed all of RS's BS about Arie and whether or not tptb wanted him as first choice to be the lead. It was his to turn down, just as many of us suspected.

And I'm with all who think that Arie's chest is just fine Abs do not make the man, just the opposite in fact, as sometimes (I said sometimes, not always) it's an indication that the guy is a little to into himself.

Haven't decided if I'll waste my time with Sean. After Jake and Ben fiasco's, this show is becoming less and less attractive to me. I'm sick of vanilla!

Well yeah saying that some fans MAY know is the same as saying that RS and Us Weekly are reliable and credible sources!

I repeat "Nowhere in those articles is written that they offered him the role, only that he took himself out of the running, that's it! So until someone says specifically that they offered Arie the role first, we will never know what happened!!"

And with "someone" I meant to say someone credible and not just some Arie fan!
