Re: Bachelor 22 - Arie Luyendyk Jr - FAN FORUM - General Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

"He was the pick because we met with him, like we do every season, we met with several guys, and it's really about timing," he continued. "I mean, I could make a case for almost every guy we meet with, and some years it's right, some years it's not. Arie is somebody we actually talked to all the way back, you know, when he was the runner-up on Emily's season. And, you know, I don't think the right time was then. This year, we met with Arie, and he's really built a life for himself in Arizona. He still does the race car driving thing, but he's also built a very big business in real estate. He has a life now to share with somebody, and the timing seems right."

That's promising, thanks GA!

I really hope there's a normal girl this season...

@alwaystulips  just wanted to say that's an awesome avi!! :hearts love:

Personally, I think Arie is ready to find "the one." However, who knows if his HEA will actually be on the show. I assume he'll pick the one he feels the most for. Hopefully, it will work out for them long term. If not, I hope people don't say, "He was there for the wrong reasons."

I think most guys who are in their mid-30s and have been dating for half their life, are ready to fall head over heels in love. Who wouldnt want that? And it has actually happened for some folks on this show. I hope that Arie will have alot of fun, learn a few things about himself and what he needs/wants, and meet some fun and good women. More than that - who knows?

Just found out about Arie. I am so stoked that Arie is the bach. I haven't watched since his season because I was so heartbroken for him, and the missed opportunities to be the bach after that. This is going to be an awesome season. Can't believe it finally happened for him, and I hope he finds the girl of his dreams.

Arie is looking hot!     I can't wait for his season 

[littlereddress]

He is handsome to me. I cannot tell you how excited I am he is the lead. I had given up that he would be the bachelor and was totally unprepared for him to come out behind that curtain. Over the moon is understatement.

He just has this ease about him, understated and subtle but funny and approachable. I am glad he has his season and can't wait to see how he approaches being the lead and who his choices will be.

Absolutely love the photos where Arie is solo with the dog:

Have fun drooling!

I wasn't sure if Arie was serious about finding someone at first but am now hopeful that he is. I haven't followed him for quite a while and didn't know he was back in Arizona and doing real estate. I think it will be a fun season to watch no matter what happens and there's always the kissing.
