Bachelor 22 - Arie Luyendyk Jr - Episodes - Jan 15th - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

I'm about over the whole program.  The ladies may be attractive but some of them just turn me off.  We are drowning in the "same old same old" formula.  JMHO.

I need Krystal to leave ASAP. *sigh* That little moment between Becca and Arie was sweet. Not a fan of the wrestling date either. Love Lake Tahoe so looking forward to next week's episode!

I like him a lot, too. Him and Brad.

I agree, Kasha. I think Brad will always be my fav tho, but I think Arie is doing a wonderful job. He comes off as really likable.

My general thoughts on the episode was
1. It was way too early for women I was invested in to be kicked off before the random women I still know nothing about. I do, however, admit he did the women he kicked off a kindness as they clearly could not handle the bubble.
2. He makes it quite clear to me who he is interested in (Becca spelled either way, Krystal and possibly Seine my opinion) and who he is not interested in (everyone else).
3. I feel like Tia is being set up as Ette, anyone else?

Really happy they showed some of the great conversations I had... oh wait


Love that he is calling out there was more than just kissing

Wow some of them were brutal to Arie and about him... IMHO if they don't like him or like watching him change the dang channel. Case solved very easily!!!

Arie is known as the kissing bandit.  There was no way he was not going to be shown kissing tons, IMO.  Just part of his story line regardless what else happened, IMO.  

I do think and hope as the numbers decrease we'll get to see more conversations mixed in with make out sessions, but realistically I expected a bunch of kissing to be shown.  I'm just ready for one of his hot wall kisses.

For the wrestling, I especially enjoyed Tia as the Southern Belle and Maquel as the Lunch Lady. Anything with dogs works for me so I'm glad that the franchise has discovered that a lot of us love the little mutts.

I am finding Arie very easy to read. He would make a terrible poker player. His facial expressions and body language totally give him away. You can tell exactly which women he's most interested in at a given moment, which are middle of the pack (i.e. Caroline,) and which have no chance at all. Watching him with Lauren S. and Annaliese, he often turned away from them. He looked bored and disinterested, and IMO there was even a hint of distaste in his expression.

I felt for Annaliese when she asked for the kiss. A part of me was exasperated with Arie. It's like guy, you've kissed nearly every woman in the house. Let's not pretend that you are that level of picky about it. But IMO he already knew he was sending her home, and didn't want to add to her woes.

The editing is keeping Lauren B. hidden at the moment. It's nice to see his love story with Becca progress. I either like or feel neutral about almost all the women, but Krystal has set herself up as the perfect villain. You sort of hope that the camera swivels to her when someone else gets a rose or a date card. You just want to see that smug expression wiped off of her face.

Chris really looks like a lightweight compared to Kenny!
