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

@veg_out

I have found a couple posts this week indicating someones from the other side offering support etc. 
As the rule states, once you have been on that other side no posting in this area PERIOD. 
It's too easy for something to fall down the cracks. So I post a warning. Maybe it will avoid something. 
I have deleted some of those postings to keep things on track. So you are not seeing them. Members "accidentally" posting in here are contacted by mods via PM to alert them to the issue, also.
Hope that clears this up.
Mods are constantly moderately this area. 

Thanks, Kash, for your hard work--see, I didn't even notice spoiled posters! Well done!

I'm 3/4 of the way through the show and don't really have a favorite yet. Bekah is very cute and likable but I can't quite get past her being so young. I really liked Arie here and on GMA this week. I won't quite go so far to say he'll find someone to marry but I do think he's ready to find someone. If nothing else, he's a cutie and I think will be fun to watch. I'm waiting for a wall kiss.

Aren't we all?! That's the only reason I'm here.

Still haven't watched the episode yet. I may wait a few more until the wheat is sifted from the chaff. Thanks for your mod work, bean.

Happy viewering y'all!  I'll get SCs up as soon as possible in the morning.

Who is here tonight?

Let's see if he can impress me tonight.

Hawk close up and then a thoughtful Arie on a motorbike. Like he is such a bad a** riding down the canyon.

At the manor CH comes and lies to the women that this is all very real and Arie is very sincere. Out comes the date card and b*tch thinks the first date should go to her.

Becca...the other one...gets it. He comes in to pick her up and he zips her up in her jacket and puts on her helmet. She is excited because she has never been on the bike.

Girls in the house are discussing and one girl is being a downer. Can't remember her name but she is discussing how people lose their lives and body parts in motorcycle accidents. I'm shocked they didn't put her on this date.

Back at his house some apparently famous designer Rachel Zoe is there with her stuff and Becca gets to try out some stuff. Lots of tacky glittery stuff. She apparently gets to keep all the stuff and then he gets down on one knee and gives her a box of Christian Louboutin shoes. They are telling each other they have beautiful eyes and that he picked her because thought she would appreciate this. I'm gagging. Next comes some Neil Lane lacky with jewelery and he puts on her earrings...and lies that he only did it for his mom.

Lots of making out. I'm gagging. This all feels so fake.

Of course she has to come home wearing her sparkly new shoes and all the goodies to p*ss off the other girls and put a target on her back.

Well, so far this isn't any better than last week. Forced and fake...take two.

Evening date. Arie telling his "story". Well rehearsed, but lacking in the execution.

Becca tells her tragic tale of her dad passing due to brain cancer. Now there was some emotion there. Naturally that leads to making out.

She gets to keep her shiny, sparkly earrings. Oh, they will hate her. More making out.

Meanwhile, back at the mansion discussing Arie's pillow lips ... gag me with a spoon .... and Krystal gets the next 1:1.

Back at the mansion girls are debating the meaning of the last date card...home is where the heart is.

Taking Krystal to Scottsdale to see his home...naturally by private jet.

All these things are close to his heart and will reveal a lot about him. This is what it would be like if they got married...dream on girly.

Takes her past his first job, where he had his first kiss, his high school...where he spent a lot of time at the principals office. Then takes her to his house and gives her a tour and then showed her his photo albums and videos. Krystal loves how close he is to his family since her parents divorced when she was young.

Next they go to his parents house. Yeah, nothing like meeting the folks on your first date. Meets his brother and new sister-in-law and their adorable dog. His parents have been married 36 years.

So no making out like with Becca and Krystal actually looks like his mom...so clearly not F1.

New date card...group date.

19 of them left...Bibiana praying for her name to be on there.

Michaele, Morique, Tia, Valerie, Anaaliese, one of the dozens of Laurens he could care less about, Kendall, the other Becca, Jenny, ?, Jenna, Caroline, Brittany, Bibiana and the b*tch....let's hit love head on.

So now they are pissed that so many of them are on the group date.

Part 2 of Krystal's date. They are at some vintage building and takes some funky elevator...perfect place for that against a wall kiss and yet...zero. The kissing bandit doesn't take advantage even though he is telling her he is trying to impress her.

Now he wants to now about her...faking interest. Time for her sad tale. Parents divorced, dad MIA, mom emotionally unavailable, didn't think her parents wanted her. Had to save her own money to buy herself a comforter because mom didn't have money. Had to take care of her little brother who got attacked last year and was living on the streets. She is upset and he is being appropriately supportive.

Is it scaring you...of course not. He sees she is open and loving, but it's more than that. He was drawn to her night one. What is he babbling about?
He loves her story??? WTH that is kind of ignorant and of course, the pillow lips finally make their move once he gives her a rose.

Private concert by yet another singer I have never heard of. So clearly not
F1...despite the fact that he is kissing her during the concert. It took him long enough. Not feeling this either.

He is doing this whole ITM about their date, but it is all monotone. He would give her a great life and stability. Yeah, sure.

I'm bored again.

Back at the mansion grilling Krystal about her date. She doesn't want to divulge anything about their "relationship". Girl you don't have a relationship and the others think she is being shady. I think she is being stupid.

Group date at some track and here comes Arie racing some stupid car. Girls are squealing appropriately. Demolition derby date. They get to design their own car. Last one standing get the trophy. Is that you?

Raven 2 says they do this and she has to represent.

Some girl spray paints her car with thanx Emily.

Someone is going to be crying today and apparently Annalise thinks this is her worst nightmare...so it's her. Traumatic experience from a bumper car trauma from when she was a kid. This is just so ridiculous. Here comes more of supportive Arie and means the others are about to give her further trauma because they think she is milking the tears.

Today is going to be epic. Who wins will be bad a**. Yeah, not.

Robbie Gordon and CH doing commentary. CH makes a dig at Arie never winning anything on the track. OK I laughed at that.

Arie giving instructions on how to get dressed properly. More crying from Annalise. Just shut up!!! I thought I liked her last week and now she is annoying me.

Start your engines and they are going at it. Annalise is now creaming all of them. I'm shocked!!!...NOT. Bibiana is pissed and she is on the attack. Brittany is going after Arie. I have to admit, I would enjoy this date.

It's down to Sienne and Tia and Sienne is the winner and gets some special time tonight...and has to drink the milk....Yuck.

Back to the evening portion of this torture date. Apparently Brittany is not feeling well and will not make it. Arie expresses fake concern while wearing his grey Mr. Roger's sweater to match the salt and pepper hair.

Lots of Bibiana talking about wanting to talk to Arie so of course Chelsea grabs him ASAP...to explain to him exactly why she is mysterious...which means she isn't. Now she is apologizing because there is another man in her life...her 3 year old son. He is fine with that since Emily was a mom and the woman before her, that he lived with for 1 1/2 years had to kids. That didn't work out but he loved that role. So she subtly shades the others because none of them know the responsibility involved. He is grateful enough that she is there that she gets to smack on the pillow lips.

She comes back and explains that she is a mom and it's important that she has time with him because she doesn't want to waste time...and she gets her knuckles wrapped by the Kim K look alike that she shouldn't discount that others haven't given up stuff to be here and everyone has a story to tell. Everyone seems to agree.

Meanwhile back with pillow lips...he is chatting with I think Sienna and she lived in Scottsdale for a while...see his eyes widening wondering if she ever saw him out and about hitting on the youngsters. She went to Yale and studied abroad in Brazil and Italy. I like her. She is intelligent and articulate and beautiful. WTH are you doing there girl? VO of Arie lying about being very attracted to her as he gives her a brotherly hug. She leans in for the kiss so he must put out any way. He gives it his best. This is when his acting shines. He knows she is way out of his league since he barely finished high school.

Meanwhile back at the cat house, girls are discussing who goes next to talk to him and Bibiana continues to talk the big game. I think she must be going home tonight since we are getting so much about her need to talk to him...plus she is wearing the same dress as in the preview where she flips out and is telling the cameras to stop following her.

Arie wants to make everyone comfortable and everyone is his type.

And Bibiana flips out and Arie has no clue since he is smiling away with the other Becca ... and making out. Yes, she is just so special. Porn music galore, but doesn't matter, she feels good.

Back on the couch, Arie is debating who to give the rose to. Chelsea opened up. Sienne was victorious and had a good chat...so she gets the rose...and Chelsea is p*ssed. Bibiana continues griping that she will continue to be persistent??? Did she even talk to him? Like he cares.
