Glad your internet came through for you. I felt it was a good episode. It's been a LONG time since I have really enjoyed a season.

Me too @Kashathediva.

Arie may be a kissing bandit but he appears to really be interested in learning more about the women in order to make his decisions. He would not have had to go after Jenny after not giving her a rose, yet he did. That to me screams caring about how others are feeling. I like that.

That is one reason why I enjoy the older bachelor. 
But regardless, he is funny, self deprecating, and nice to look at. 
Personally, at this point in the game, I think production is loving him. I mean they certainly owe him big. Let's see how that goes.

Gonna go with Arie's Mer on this one.  It's not like she's wearing a sign with her age on it while she's around him, so while he might realize she's young, he doesn't know her actual age at this point.  So, I'm not gonna hold it against him yet.  

Once he becomes aware of her age, has less other crazies to deal with or her drama becomes more than he wants to deal with mixed with his growing relationship with his F1, she'll be gone, IMO.  Lots of storyboards, drama and crazies left to deal with and weed out at this point.  

Sounds like a good epi when I get a chance to watch.

She has a lot of single life dating life to experience. They are at a different point in their lives. Speaking from experience. I was married had a child and divorced by 28 yrs old, that's a lot of running a household looking after a baby/toddler and working all at the same time. Met someone 13 years older than me. We were together for 15 yrs.

No, the age difference would not be a big deal between 30 and 44. But, today, 22year olds, unless they have been through the school of hard knocks, typically are not thinking marriage, children or settling down. If you asked about 22 and 36 twenty years ago, I might have said no big deal back then.

She's on the show. It's not like asked for ID's at the meet and greet... Is he supposed to ignore her because she may or may not be too young for him?

Age...my husband is 12 years younger than I am. I was in my thirties and he was in his twenties when we met. We have twin boys, and I am so glad I didn't let age direct my decisions!

BTW, my grandmother was 22 years older than her husband. They stayed married until he died.

(my dh is 6 yrs older than me. I met him when I turned 21. He was 27. My father thought that was scandalous)

Long live the kink!

You scandalous girl. Aww, to be 21 again.

@Bet2Win
Nah. Not 21. Maybe 35? 

I can't stop smiling.. Becca and Arie are so cute together. They just fit. I'm jealous of all these clothes she's getting!

@Linds911
IDK I am more jealous of the time they might be spending without any clothes.
