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

Good thoughts, AC! I have to check my F4 based on Sprite's play-by-plays. I think that I said the Beccas, too.

I would love to put half of Tia's make-up (girl, why so much?) on Ashley (who is actually a natural beauty!) !

I had to look up who Ashley was, @agentcurls.

I’m so over Krystal. I'm hoping Arie sees through her sooner than later although I doubt he's going to listen if the others complain. We haven’t had a villain as f1 since Courtney and look how well that went.

Thanks for those previews, bug.

14-year age difference between Arie and little Beks Honestly, I don't think chronological age matters--many a 21-year-old woman has had the maturity of a 40 year old. It's all life circumstances, etc. I see a natural chemistry between them: some men like a woman who calls them out and challenges them. It could be a deal breaker since I'm not sure that little B wants to settle down right now.

Krystal kills me! She's a hoot.

I'll have to watch the other videos on the ABCmedianet website since they're not playing for me.

I love the dynamic between Arie & Beks...they really are so easy with each other. I have trouble getting past what life would be like for this pairing out of the bubble. If Arie chose her, I would have to second guess Arie's readiness for marriage, etc. Although I adore them together and would be pleasantly surprised if they made a go of it long-term.

I see he has a real soft spot for Krystal, but she is a bit of a mess. If she is F1, I hope her edit gets better and she redeems herself with the other ladies. She seems to think she has it in the bag...may not be a good sign. But I don't see Arie connecting with anyone but Krystal emotionally just yet.

Thank you for those clips @Ladybug82!

I had trouble viewing on Google Chrome, but then was able to watch them on Internet Explorer.

I think Arie will have no problem with Bekah's age. She carries herself with a lot of grace and maturity from what I've seen and she seems wise beyond her years. She seems more mature than some of the older girls who are there. If someone is to tame wild Arie, it's this girl! She can hold her own outdoors, too, and Arie said that was important to him. It's like I'm watching a somewhat weathered but debonair movie star and his ingénue. Will she get the wall-kiss?

Don't tease me like this, AC! If that's what she wants, then I hope Bekah gets the first wall kiss.

If you can't tell, I really like Bekah. Actually, I like both Beccas at this point. The bits I've seen of Krystal slay me: in it to win it! She's got the right attitude for the show . I don't know the other girls well enough at this point.

I accidentally got spoiled so I'm out. Have fun!

We'll miss you, bean. Have fun

watched ep 1 M&G again-

I think Jaqueline could go pretty far based on their first interaction (comfortable) & previews.

Chelsea's reactions were shown a lot. It was kind of the Chelsea-Show. It reminded me of other F2s or on the flip side, Kaitlyn's Shawn B.

When Arie was talking to Krystal he was very hand-sy. I think he has it pretty bad for her, at least physically. When Chelsea interrupted and was whisking him away, Arie looked back at Krystal to check-in.

After speaking with Bekah, he said in PI it made him feel confident about the process and in finding what he was looking for. Bekah was also a little gossipy throughout (showing her age/maturity, but also keenly observant about the energy & dynamic in the room-is she Arie's rock?)

Nice conversation with Becca, but I didn't see many initial sparks. She was kind of hidden this first ep. She has had a stellar edit ep 1-3 so far (F3?)

AC - If the FI and F2 are Chelsea/Krystal... uggh ... someone just send me a PM so I can stop watching. I am just not "into" either and would not want to watch the season that ends up with those two at the finish line.

I sure hope some of the gals who have been more in the background ... Jacqueline, Sienne, Kendall, Lauren and to some degree Becca get more screen time so we can get to know them and see their relationships with Arie. I also don't mind Tia.

And, what's with Caroline being first out of the limo? Are TPTB just messing with our heads? Is this no longer a power position? Or, is Caroline a very hidden F1-2-3??

I like Beks but I just can't get onboard with an Arie/Beks ending. I have a very very hard time believing that she is looking to get married ... gain more IG followers, sure. But married? No! Save baby Beks for BIP or another off-shoot. She is so adorable and makes great TV. Actually, match Beks up with Dean (Linday's F4 guy who had the daddy issues.) She'll whip him into shape!
