Bachelor 22 - Arie Luyendyk Jr - SM Media - *Sleuthing Spoilers* - #2

Haha! It doesn’t bother me a bit.  I kinda like what they did on SM because it gets RS’s goat.  Happy Holidays Steviepoo!

Can't wait to see Arie in action! Go Dutchman Go!

No doubt Becca is really cheeky, did you all see what she posted after the Ft Myers story? Her cat in bed. IMO she is definitely sm savvy and reads this board. She’s having fun with us. IMO

Hi Becca I am happy for you and Arie! Post all you want and we can match wits! Let the fun begin!

I'd say the contenders for the next bachelorette will be Tia, Chelsea and Lauren B later on in the season, Lauren might become really well liked come finale time, who knows. Its clear there making storylines for certain girls.

I agree. I don't let this show get under my skin.

Yep, me too, so far. I can't wait to see how she got him on his knees on night one - hope it's as funny as Chris and Des.

I kind of think it is neat that Arie and Becca want to spend time together so much and they are willing to go out of their way to see each other even when it isn't a scheduled SHV. This franchise badly needs another love story (The Bachelor side of it anyway) IMO and optimistically I hope we get one this time. That might be something that production is even encouraging now. Who knows, maybe the TPTB will be so open to change that the next Bachelor will be a POC.

Yes. Production makes it unbelievably hard on the couple to really spend time together as a normal couple and be able to shout it from the rooftops they are in love. Especially the Bachelor which is from November until March. Even in a long distance relationship you can tell your friends and spend time doing activities and enjoying the holidays together. And yet they want the couple to succeed while they try to convince the public he picked the other girl so it will be a surprise.

It sounds like Arie said to hell with it, you're worth getting into trouble for, come to Arizona and be with me, I have to see you. Now the cat's out of the bag anyway. Plus his Thanksgiving tweet of "I have a lot to be thankful for." I am ready for that kind of love story.

The Lauren likes are baffling unless he was told to do it TPTB or he felt he had throw people off or whatever. Man, I hope he stops that.

Bravo to Arie and Becca. I hope we get to see their love story. Perhaps the ptb are allowing this to steal from RS's thunder. He truly hasn't had much this season that this board hadn't already sleuthed.

But there’s a way to have nonscheduled visits and not spoil the damn show. It’s really quite simple actually, several couples have done it.

Call me old fashioned but I prefer it when the lead and their chosen one don’t spoil the show.

@umngirl....Very good point you made that other couples have done this in the past without spoiling the show Can you confirm if Sean advised Arie on how to approach this? My initial thought was that Arie spoke to Sean about how to process the journey especially the waiting period but maybe not...thanks.

I liked Arie but both seem really dumb to do that, especially with the likes for Lauren. Don’t feel like rooting for them now.

Remember, Arie is completely new to SM. He also knows nothing about the awesome sleuthing that it provides or the level of talent that resides here. I forgive him. JMO

Idk. Arie's been around the block with this show. People sleuthed a lot back then too (ie: Jef on a boat after the proposal via geo tags). Someone like Rachel I would say is a newb. Arie knows better. JMO.
