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

Women are wishing that if Becca tells him her age, she will be eliminated tonight. 

Arie thinks she has so many things he is looking for. Do their lives match up? Are they in the same place? Yeah, not setting things up at all.

He loves her honesty....particularly here since time is so precious.

He is worried because he always leads with is chemistry. He is worried if she is ready. She says if you are with the right person. Now he is going on about how he is so different from 5 years ago. He is now so super boring. So now we get to the big question and she tells him she is 22. She tells him she has dated guys in their 30's. He thinks 22 is so young. What to do????

Shockingly despite all his fears he gives Becca the rose, but he will guard his heart a little around her because he is so ready for marriage and a wife and he just doubts if she is ready. He wasn't at her age, but she is not him. Yeah. Sure.

RC time. Ladies are primping, shaving, getting made up.

The other Becca is doing the commentary.

This is the first RC that Krystal is feeling insecure and needs to speak to Arie. Shocking. You need to seize the moment. Girls feel she is fake and two faced.

In comes CH to tell them they are going straight to the RC and no CP. Arie knows exactly what he wants to do. The stench of panic is overwhelming.

Arie tells CH he had clarity this week.

Everyone looks beautiful. Tahoe has been AMAZING. Had a feeling of excitement because he knows love is here. LIAR!!!

Naturally, Krystal steps up and has to have a moment of his time. Ladies are not impressed!!!

Girls think it is very disrespectful of Krystal to pull him aside when he was very clear that he knew what he wanted to do.

She is going into her little girl mode. She feels such a connection with him, blah, blah, blah. She is saying she adores and respects the other women, all the while throwing them under the bus. She isn't here to play games....as she is playing as hard as she can. She is here just for him and she respects his decision. 

The others want her gone. Will be p*ssed if someone who is here for him goes over Krystal. Well, I wouldn't go that far. You all just want to travel and get those Instagram #'s up so you can shill and get on BIP, but I get she is just annoying.

Lauren
Kendall
Ashley....has she even talked to him other than to get a rose?
Becca K
Chelsea
Jenna
Jaqualine
Marique...Kim K

Last rose....Krystal...just to p*ss off all the ladies and keep the drama going.

Caroline...heartbroken because Krystal is still there.
Brittany...just wants to find someone...soon.

Krystal...needs to make sure it is just her and Arie at the end.

Nest week looks like Chelsea and Tia get single dates. 
Krystal has been drinking all day and is becoming unhinged. Apparently she called Arie a liar and said some not so nice things about him and the ladies are just dying to share this with him. He goes to her room because she put his character in question. I really don't care.

OMG. Kim K is having a confrontation with Chelsea. Apparently she told Arie that Kim was using her compass to fix her hair and Kim feels bullied. Just like people body shame people she feels that she is being GLAM SHAMED!!!! GLAM SHAMED people!!! She was only fixing her hair because it looked like cr*p and then she seriously shows that she brought the compass with her to show Chelsea that it didn't have a mirror....like she didn't see her own compass. I can't believer the sheer stupidity of these women. I would be embarrassed to even come up with such a stupid thing. She is another dumb a** Kim K. In all seriousness Chelsea does an ITM where she talks about never having heard of such a thing and she would never be anti glam since she used to be a model and it was her job to be glam. She just wants to make sure that everyone knows she is pro glam.     :shootme:

Thank you, @Sprite for the commentary & chuckles I won't be able to tune in until later this week.

I will be looking forward to see what you think.

I still don't see it with anyone. He is hot for baby Becca, but other than that I see zilch. And even with her I think it is just physical. I think he is already over Krystal and knows she is there to stir up drama. Same deal with Chelsea. I really can't see him with anyone so far.

I have a feeling this will be one of those fake ending type seasons where the lead picks the one they can most tolerate and enjoys a bit of fluff and tickle with until they can break up. I am finding him so incredibly dull and dense....and creepy at times.

Just a reminder for those spoiled members reading here:

Sorry for the double post.

Epi 5 SCs are up

whoa....where did you come from Kendall?? Watching ep. 4 now.

So, we have a possible (FD/F3?) SC of Kendall in a dune buggy in Peru...

Also, ep 2. RC departure Jenny said in PI something along the lines of "I can't believe he is sending me home and keeping around the taxidermist (Kendall) "....
Arie wrote in his blog about Jenny (snipped from Arie's ep. 2 blog) "It was shocking when Jenny tried to leave without saying goodbye. I have to be honest, after watching everything and seeing things I hadn’t seen that night, I know I made right choice.

Hmmmm, so maybe Kendall is a slow-burn Arie (or I!) didn't see coming?

She had a little airtime during M&G but not much. TP have shown us some cute, awkward, goofy moments with them....that is, up until now. Maybe other more important moments are on the cutting room floor with these two. I kinda love them quirking out together. I agree Arie-she is a low-key bad a     babe. (his words- also present tense)

Krystal is starting to implode a bit. After witnessing her downfall this ep, I'm not sure she is even in the F4. Time will tell. It doesn't seem like she gets another date anytime soon in previews.

We didn't get to see any forward movement with Chelsea or Becca K during the GD, but Tia is still in there moving right along.

I'm also unspoiled this season, and like others posted before, I don't see it with anyone really. To me, though he has the most chemistry with young Bekah, there is no way in hell he could possibly choose her if he's serious about marriage. I tried to listen for the typical Bach clues that indicate who the F1 is but nada. I will say however, that Kendall shocked me - like she came out of no where. So maybe she's one to watch. I was surprised at his supposed connection with Lauren B as well. I do think as well that he has read Krystal's play and she is perhaps still there because of TPTB. As for Chelsea, I still think he's into her and probably saving a date for her later on. But based on the edit thus far, I don't think she is F1. So young Bekah is miles ahead the rest of the pack, but I really hope he doesn't choose her.

@aviej !
Look forward to hearing more from you on this season!

Wow, he's got it bad for Bekah. It's been a while since I've seen this level of comfortability between lead/contestant. It's really raw & organic with these two. If none of the other women float his boat, why wouldn't he just take a chance on love with baby Beks? So, if it doesn't work out, he can find a wife after this experience like many Bachelors before him, no biggie. As of now, I think he might take this chance with Bekah F1.

I see a closeness and an emotional bond blossoming with Tia as well. I didn't see "it" with him & Seinne. I think I might have seen a twinkle & spark with Kendall, but I admit, I am biased on this one. I'd like to see more of him & Lauren together. Still not entirely sure where he stands with Chelsea & Becca K.

I think the spark is starting to dim for him & Krystal. She seems pretty high-maintenance these last few eps. and I see him shutting down a bit.

Bekah F1
Tia
Lauren
Chelsea
Becca K
Kendall
Jacqueline

MOTs:
Krystal
Seinne
Ashley
Marikh
Jenna

Maybe he has a type that's emerging. Laid back, fun, lively, sporty. I didn't see Kendall going quite that far, but I agree @agentcurls, it's probably her. I think it's her in that twirl cap in front of the french chateau too. The girls that most fit that are Kendall, Baby Beks, Tia, and maybe Becca K IMO.

I'm thinking Italy comes after Paris because Becca wouldn't have a 2nd 1:1 date that soon. I'm missing a location. There's a cap on the coast. I'll post it in the caps thread, to see if anyone recognizes it.

Wondering if the boyfriend is most likely to be Tia's? I thought I saw Dallas on Lauren's name/career tag, but her bio says VA. Anyone remember seeing Dallas? I'll go back and see if I can find it, if not. @aviej what did you mean by his supposed connection with Lauren? Hard to tell what her personality is yet, but he did seem interested during their little chat/kiss. There might be a second blonde in the F3 at the ruins. It could be Kendall's LCD but it seems kind of unlikely that she'd pack two pairs of  slightly different black sneakers.
