The contestants' thirst for SM followers/fame/opportunities/etc is their trade-off. They're not victims. jmo

Not just your opinion. I have been saying this for a while now. 

The show has been on for years now so there can be no excuses about not knowing what to expect. Also more and more of them know a former contestant and get on the show because of that connection...see Tia...so they have first account knowledge of what they are walking into. And despite everything they keep coming back for more. Clearly the show gives them benefits that out weight losing some dignity.

On the abc website there are questions to determine which Bach 22 contestant you are most like. One of the questions was how would you introduce yourself to Arie and one pics was of Lauren and the caption said “show him a pic of your fam”. Could it be another family member that had a pic taken with Arie? Maybe this has already been figured out.

If he had not liked Lauren's SM early Dec, and we find out Jan 17th he's filming at her house, I would have thought it was simply a matter of changing his mind.

However, since he was trolling her IG, and liking posts on Dec 4/5 apparently two days after the 4wheeling pic if it's in fact Becca, IMHO he never got over Lauren I make decisions based on what I know at the time of making my decision. He may have felt at the time Becca was the one for him. So whether that was Becca or not on 12/2 during the 4wheeling, he obviously was thinking about Lauren and went so far as to like her SM. That was less than 3 three weeks after filming. Maybe Becca felt he wasn't into her and decided she wanted to split.

Jan 1st members noticed Arie was not the same. This tells me the split might have happened and there weren't any further SHV's with Becca. Possible SHV on Jan 12th doesn't make sense to me since two days later they are filming at Lauren's parents home. Maybe they filmed the breakup at that time. Jan 9 10 and 16th and 17th and on, Becca is posting on IG and to me there is no indication of sadness.

Becca appears quite happy which is good.

25. I’m close not only with fellow Bachelor Sean Lowe, but also with his parents. His mom is in my phone as “Mom,” which can get confusing.
