I don’t get why anyone would. But I wouldn’t pay to see any Bachelor contestants, even Arie.  

To add to what @Tiggerlgh said, forum sleuthers have found several contestants for Arie’s season that RS won’t announce until tomorrow.  So, congrats to our members for their great sleuthing!

17 to be exact. Some very strong sleuthing confirms they are on this season, some not completely 100% confirmed yet.

The contestants with the double ** - ** in their title means they were sleuthed by forum members.

to all!

TB S22 premiere date confirmed for Monday, Jan 1 with the official poster for Arie.

He looks so good and I like the slogan...."worth the wait"  imo

Quoting myself to say that my guess was right! It was Kendall! I had a feeling - she seems like his physical type!

Still an underwhelming final four, but she is very pretty!

Reality Steve just spoiled that Kendall long got the 4th hometown.

He also said that he think she never had 1 on 1 but not 100% sure yet. He is leaning towards her never having a 1 on 1

I give up... I don't know why i expected anything different.

I know right??!! I mean, I get that this is Arie's journey, and he shouldn't be strong armed into picking women that he doesn't vibe with/feel anything for, but still incredibly disappointed anyway though.

Okay, so based on the little that we know thus far, these are my predictions for F4 on:

1. By process of elimination, we can already deduce that if Kendall really didn't get a 1-1, she'll probably be the next to go right after HTD, since she clearly was never a frontrunner.

2. Lauren B. 2.0 will get the boot after Overnights.

3. And that'll leave Tia and Becca Kufrin to duke it out in the F2, with Becca ending up as F1. Incredibly predictable, no mystery left at all.    

NOTE: All predictions are JMO.

So, the real question is, who's going to be the Bachelorette? If I had to guess, probably Tia or Lauren Burnham. But if Lauren doesn't have a compelling enough backstory, it'll more or likely go to Tia. They'll probably edit her as Raven 2.0, or give her the same treatment as they did JoJo and cast another F2 for a second shot at love. Or, they could dip back again and get Vanessa or Raven herself (if her and Adam break up between now and March). After the surprise castings of Nick, Rachel and Arie, ANYTHING is possible with Fleiss & Co.

And here you come with a legit breakdown of what i really believe will happen. I really don't need to watch now

Hmm.. I just realized that Lauren B was on most of the spoiled dates this season including her HTD which was spoiled by RS. Kinda reminds me of how public Not-Arie's dates were last season. She could be TPTB's pick for next Bachelorette IMO if Becca is indeed the frontrunner/F1.

I don't think TPTB are ever going to pick a prior season contestant for 'Ette. Unlike the Bachelor where the choice of lead makes little to no difference in the ratings, IMO the 'Ette ratings are clearly impacted by the choice of lead if Rachel and Desiree's ratings are anything to go by. It just makes more sense to go with the woman fresh in people's minds unless an Emily M comes along IMO (which hasn't happened in forever).

Curious to see how this season plays out. Even though I am underwhelmed by the F4, maybe this would be a nice change after Nick's women. I hope Arie's cast is not as insufferable as Nick's cast. Keeping fingers crossed.

All JMO

Hmm, you could be right with this, or, maybe there is a secret reason Kendall Long has a HTD? I still plan to watch. Becca K is a hometown girl but Arie owes me serious screen romance and I am here to collect -  AMO
