Bachelor 22 - Arie Luyendyk Jr - Potential Contestants - *Sleuthing Spoilers* - Discussion

I'd imagine we'll see less of a diverse pool of contestants in an Arie season, as opposed to a season of Petey. JMO.

Depends what he asks for, IMO. He fell in love with Emily. Not people who look like Emily. JMO

I'm not so sure. Why would the diversity change between Peter and Arie being the bachelor? I really don't get this.  TPTB will select who they want.

Also, I think Aris much more used to  diversity  then Peter. Arie races all around the world with people from every part of the world. Peter lives in Wisconsin and me being from Iowa I can tell you it's not very diverse.  Yes,  College towns such as Madison are a bit more diverse. But still not much.

Thanks everyone for looking for smilies. There is a smilie thread. If you find anything post them there. I will also look when I set time aside to do admin work.

Smilie thread

We have this in the emoji tab but I find that too confusing at times.

Predictions that this season's gonna be another Ben.H 2.0 where it was basically blonde clones everywhere & at the finale? Pls let that not be the case, and that its more like nick's season (in terms of diversity)

I actually think Arie's taste in women is more similar to Nick than Ben. He hooked up with Courtney and Selma who are both feisty brunettes. JMO.

I think baddies do best with women who may seem tough or whatever but are actually huge sweethearts and softies that look up to them and make them want to be better men than the player ways. So that's what I'm hoping for Arie. It'll be a tough road because he'll probably go for "feisty" versus the sweetie, but we'll see.

Yet those connections were fleeting. I will take his word of wanting independent, strong and gentle.

Courtney wrote in her book that Arie had told her that she was his 'dreambabe'. Whatever that means

Just popping in here to say I am super excited !!!

I personally have been waiting for this for years and now its finally come to pass.

Congrats Arie and good luck.

Sounds like typical playa playa lingo mumbo jumbo to me he quickly moved on from dreambabe and didnt treat her accordingly to that status imo.

Let's hope his next dreambabe will get a better treatment
