No, thanks!  I'll pass.

Me too and I used to like him.  This was a season where I stupidly liked both the F2.  But 1F quickly showed his true colors.  Arie I am excited to watch!

I didn't mind the F3 or actually the F6ish or so, minus Chris B.  Learned to deal with 1F because of his friendship with Arie and Micheal Nance.  And then realized (not quite quickly enough) that my first initial thoughts of him were correct.  

Any details about when/where they will re-air Emily's season? I didn't really start watching regularly until Sean's season. Sounds like that season was even more contentious than Rachel's which is hard to imagine. I wonder what has taken Arie so long to get cast as the lead?

Just think if Emily was still single! Now, THAT would be a good season!

Awww, he's graying early, gorgeous eyes and he can throw down up against a wall! He has the cutest personality. I hope you change your mind!

Even if I have different takes at times, I enjoy your commentary!

ETA;  Thanks for the luck.  Honestly, I feel like anyone will be easier to deal with and mod on the board than a season of Peter would have been.  Not that Arie vs Jef wasn't a lot to deal with, but its been years hopefully feelings have mellowed and Jef's shown his true colors IMO.  I personally didn't want anything tied to last season and the drama and tit for tat continue on.  #thankyoubachgods

During Emily's season, which feels like forever ago, we didn't have fan forums and the baiting was relentless and a lot crueler IMO. It's a hundred times more mellow now with safe havens for fans to fan -- and more moderators. I also noticed the tit for tat discussions going on last season but it didn't even come close to the Jef/Sean/Arie craziness. Seriously, those three lads made us all nuts. It was baaaaaaaad.

Anyway... I skipped Juan Pablo, Ben, and Nick, but I'll tune in for Arie.

As Ladybug82 mentioned and as another mod chirping in--we will agree to disagree. A) there were fan thread back then. In fact, the fan threads were created on the forum a few months after the forum was. B) I think you caught many of the posts this season after we, mods, edited, deleted and doctored things. This was by far our busiest and worse season yet. I am speaking for us all and don't think I am speaking out of turn. This was by far, hands down the most contentious season we had to deal with and we are looking forward to a season of fun and more harmony for us all .

I'm really excited! This is going to be my 1st TB season I watch. I haven't watched any US TB season at all except for Jason just 2 years ago.
I hope he gets a great group of mature women.

Don't feel bad. I liked Jef too. And Vienna. I think my picker is broken!

I squealed out loud when I saw Des' cute announcement this morning. Arie will always be my favorite--hopefully that's still something I can say at the end of the season. I have skipped the last three (or four?) seasons of the Bach/Ette, so I'm glad they're bringing back Arie!!

Are they really this desperate they had to go back in the past and are is still single we know he is not doing it to find love we know that from most of the bachelor's but this is blatenly obvious with this choice do not know if I will bother watching if they could not get anyone to agree why not try a new guy that was never on any of the shows jmo

@Kashathediva I didn't care for Rachel and her squad so I didn't get on board with the drama/season but if this past season was worse as I remember the Arie/1f drama well...Lord help you all.

It's a new day!!!!

Congratulations to Arie. Perfect timing indeed.

This is one of the many reasons I'm glad it's Arie and not someone else as I couldn't imagine what you all would have to go through. Hopefully, this is a win-win for all.
