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

I actually hope he finds his dreambabe. Maybe with Bachelor expectations and scrutiny, he can find love. No more casual sex or indiscretions going unnoticed. The world is watching. (Enter song by Sting.) I truly believe he is a player, but also think he can be reformed. He DID fall for Emily IMO. Though I admit, seeing stories about his ways 5 years AFTER the bach is disheartening. I was repelled by Luke, couldn't handle another boring Ben H and got entralled with Peter. Now I've ended up in the middle. So Arie, YOU BETTER BRING IT. And by bring it, I mean marry your F1. No pressure

This is actually a pretty interesting story for adults, only - IMO.

If it is inappropriate for me to share this here, please let me know. I'm pretty intrigued by Arie...here's his 26 yr old ex. with the kind of story I expect when a guy is 35 and single;

@Chgohighlife The most recent photo they posted in that article was from June 1. Yep, I agree, what one would expect from a single man.

He didn't get that good by reading books.

As for the SM pics, he's TB, obviously she wasn't a serious relationship.

The difference between Arie IMO and a player is that he doesn't have dirt. There is no stories of mistreatment of women. It's all positive as far as relationships go. This is the type of guy IMO that probably is ready to settle down. He's dated hooked up whatever, and none of them were truly marriage material.

I'd rather have a guy that can't just pick one then none at all. The success rate for TB is low. It doesn't bother me that they don't last although it would be nice if they did. It's sleuthing the F1 then seeing them together post show for whatever time they have together that's enjoyable for me. I'm looking forward to sleuthing some potential contestants and picking out my preliminary options for the F1.

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.  

Just my experience with racers. I hope I'm proved wrong though.

The cast will be made up of whoever TPTB wants it to be.  It's not like Arie has any control over that.  Even if he negotiated that into his contract, it wouldn't be many he'd be allowed to see and pick before hand, IMO.

ETA: Like any other lead, he may have some say over who stays and goes each week, but that will have also have to do with storyboards, drama, etc. and who he's actually interested in. So even that's limited if TPTb want someone to stay. It's a pick your battles thing and normally you reserve the standing your ground fights until the end when it matters most for your F1, IMO and from things past leads have said.

JMO

As usual the cast will be made up of maybe 5 "normal" whatever that word means to MF women. Hopefully of those someone will meet Arie's specifications and liking.
The others will be a bag of mixed nuts ala Planters.
I would actually love it if Courtney made a surprise comeback. That would be fun.

Courtney says she won't be on the show, but, yes, it would be fun. "Winning..."

They make a beautiful couple and would have beautiful babies.

I believe there is a price for everyone. Or almost everyone. Money, Fleiss and Arie might be hard for her to turn down.

True, @Kashathediva, true! Maybe she'll decide the time is right for her (and the money, Fleiss, and Arie) and show up.

Going kinda off subject - every time I read the line where Courtney says Arie was her best sex ever, I cringe for poor BenF. Doesn't matter how much he detests her, it still has to sting a little.
