BACHELOR 22 - Arie Luyendyk Jr General Discussion - **NO SPOILERS** - *SLEUTHING* DISCUSSION

And back at the mansion under a full/crazy moon Bibiana continues her crazy talk.

Another amazing week. He comes to check on Brittany to see how she is feeling....fake concern...and gives her the most hardcore award for her efforts and beans himself on the chandelier.

Becca in her fur is playing up the chemistry and they go to the front of the mansion.She is flirting so hard and more make outs. Apparently they have a lot of chemistry...and do a semi up against the wall make out.

Bibiana shut up. Stop talking about it and go talk to the man.

Krystal wants to talk to Arie even though she has a rose and goes and interrupts one of the many Lauren's even though she never had a date this week. Shockingly, she is p*ssed as are the others and it sets off Bibiana once again.

Back on the driveway, Krystal in that annoying, baby, seductive, fake voice is flirting. Is she chewing gum as she is yapping? Again she wants to keep it between her and Arie. She is so fake and annoying. I think the girls hate her as much...if not more...than Chelsea.

Meanwhile Kim K is trying to flirt by asking him the colour of his underwear. Black if anyone is interested.

Some chick brings him a stuffed dead animal and another is talking about Raisin Bran. :shootme: :shootme: :shootme:

Finally Bibiana has her time and they talk about him bringing his dog who he rescued...and naturally, Krystal comes to interrupt again. Not producer driven at all. More fakeness from Krystal. She so wants BIP and the shilling dollars. Bibiana confronts her when she comes back. So stupid. So stupid.

RC. Naturally Arie looks to CH for some words of wisdom. He has some clarity....some have exceeded expectations and others have slipped.

Lots of great and beautiful women. He has formed some quick connections, but hasn't spent much time with some. Blah, blah, blah.

Miquele...Lauren B look alike, annoying with her attempts at girlish flirting by doing the cute fake head tilt.

Jacqueline. She is beautiful.

The other Becca.

Jenna

Chelsea

Lauren S ????

Tia ... who apparently is soooooo invested already. Please.

Annalise

Lauren B

Kendall....the taxidermy queen.

Brittany

Ashley...who should perhaps put on some make up.

Marique? Kim K look alike

Caroline

And the last pity rose goes to...Bibiana...so she can stick around and fight with Krystal for at least another week.

In comes CH with a heartfelt sigh...if you have not received a rose....

Some go out gracefully, with their head held high, while one just ignores Arie in a river of tears. Please. You barely talked to the guy. Get over yourself. Naturally his little feelings are hurt so he fakes concern and tries to talk to her. Jenny is just staring him down with hands on hips even as he hugs her. She is sad she has to leave her new friends behind....Jeeze...but, in all seriousness he tells her it is about more than that. She finally relents to the the hug and in a VO tells us that she has been broken up with for the first time and she is in shock. Such self awareness and grace under fire. I'm shocked she is still single. He picked the taxidermist over her. She feels she embarrassed herself. Oh woe is me.

Arie had an amazing week with some amazing women. He sees a lot of love in this room and he is excited. Cheers to what is coming up....lots more making out, lots more tears, sexy not wrestling, more jet planes...they must have gotten a deal...falling in love with multiple people, jealousy because he is kissing multiple people and Bibiana is broken.

Meanwhile, we get Kendall bringing Arie dead animals out on the front porch...a bat and a seal. He is so not picking her, but he gives her hope by telling her everyone has their thing and he has a creepy friend who collects doll parts. Hmmm...

Is it just me or is this stupider than usual? So boring.

Just popping in to say hi

Watched both episodes and still no clue who he even likes to even hazard a guess at F3. Only opinions I’ve formed so far is that Chelsea is biotch and Bibiana is craycray. It Bach US stays to form ... next week will focus a little more on romance and a little less on drama. Liked his first 1/1 ... don’t remember her name but she seemed nice but didn’t see any spark. Cant remember second girl either but she’s a wench, she only got the Scottsdale date so he could pick up his dog it sounds like

Still haven't watched an episode. Still unspoiled. i love reading your observations, Sprite. Northy, so happy to see you here.

Maybe at some point, I'll turn on the episodes if someone lets me know that there's a wall kiss.

Hey veg please start watching and posting ... it’s lonely here! I just realized your avi guy and Arie were on the same season ..... hard to believe that was 5 yrs ago, eh? Good times

Veg and NV are in the house, yay!

I'm really enjoying Arie!

I'm only partway through this epi but I like Arie as lead. I don't know that he had chemistry with either of the 1 on dates. I liked Becca and wasn't that the most generous date in Bachelor history? Wowza - who needs to win the man?

I didn't particularly like Kelsey even with her sad story. I know it's superficial on my side but she comes across as a bit too Barbie-like for me.

Glad to see so many names and avies popping up in here!   Veggie and NV.  

Happy sleuthing y'all!  And let us know if y'all need anything!

Can’t wait to go over to the dark side and hang out with all the old gang.

I’ll watch the next episode unspoiled and then I’ll decide. I’m loving Arie as the lead so far. He’s my all time fave contestant and he just might replace my favourite Bach Brad 1 & 2 .. loving the salt and pepper look too!

@northwenviewer Hello!  I am unspoiled also.  I am not sure when I will go to the other side.  I am sad to say that you and I aren't on the same side with pertaining to the lead.  :iamsorry:   I wasn't a fan during Emily's season.  So far he hasn't changed my opinion.  I find him more acting then genuine / natural.  I know he is the kissing bandit but man I just can't watch the unnatural hand to face / flipping / pulling back the hair of the girls.  It seems forced to me. I just don't know what it is.  I am sad I really wanted to root for him. I still do because of all of you that love him.  I like the salt and pepper hair.   The one main thought I had during Krystal's 1:1 and even from the start, she reminds me of Emily M.  She was so sweet and a baby like voice that so many people were hard on her during Brad's season.  When she became bachelorette there were some that didn't think she would be good because of it.     IMO they were two peas in a pod.  Syrupy and as some say fake.  But, I am here ready to have my mind changed LOL  As of right now I think Krystal is one of the Top 4.  as for the others the first impression rose gal just might be Top 4,  then Becca because first date usually is at least top 6.  That is all I have so far.

@4health: That's an interesting observation about Krystal's similarity to Emily. Feel free to dismiss this comment since it results from reading comments and not viewing the episode: It makes sense if Krystal goes far considering that she resembles Emily--Arie emphasizes that he fell in love with Emily. Most people, it seems, end up dating people who look similar to or act the same as past flames (a type) as long as those traits/qualities, etc., left a positive impression on us.
