Bachelor 22 - Arie Luyendyk Jr - SM Media - *Sleuthing Spoilers* - #3

Sounds to me like Arie enjoys the thrill of the chase and someone new on the horizon more than anything else.

ETA: Oh and writing in his journal about it all. Can't forget the journaling

When I heard that he hadn't loved anyone since Emily, it really struck me that perhaps every relationship he'd tried to have since then just couldn't measure up to the thrill and built in fanbase that he had come so close to as the chosen F1.

Which was why, in a super twisted way, I thought this process could actually work for him. And yet, here we are.

I totally think it could have worked for him only if he was the contestant and eventual f1, but this baddy didn’t meet his Jo  

I actually think nothing would work for him except maybe that therapist they brought on for Brad Dude has issues. Talks the talk but deviates on the walk.

Deviates is putting it mildly. More like crash and burns.

This sounds like a convenient narrative to get out there for Arie. Too bad I don't believe it. Either way, this guy is an amateur. 36 years old and is still dithering about. Good luck to whatever women ends up with him. You could never 100% trust him.

This info came from RS who hates Arie (he discussed it in his latest podcast). I doubt he would agree to help Arie out and get it out there without some legitimacy to it.

That’s why when he has a girl on hand, he’s on SM hitting up the next imo. Courtney said he invited her to a concert , got upset over something, next day she’s ready to make up with Arie and go to the concert . He says it’s not a good idea and it’s because he flew another girl in over night that he met on SM that he kept on the side. The common thing is he’s an expert at making a girl feel secure up to the point she’s blindsided.

so I wonder how kinky is Lauren B. to keep his interest ::

Maybe Lauren B is to him what he is to Courtney.  If so, that might explain what he was thinking with and how he went about justifying to himself that being turned into roadkill was worth it.

Haha. I wonder how Lauren B will react to Courtney. Will they become besties? Maybe all three of them can hang in Scottsdale.

In reference to "we don't know" or "it's all speculation at this point", I just want to point out that when a person is known for being a player or having shady character, there will be those that are going to believe the worst case scenario. Arie doesn't deserve the benefit of doubt unless he gives people a reason to give it to him. All JMO.

I’m thinking it’s why Lauren couldn’t let him go. Didn’t a couple of them say they had the best sex ever with Arie

Can you say "total immaturity?"  JMHO

If Arie proposed to her though, she probably thought his lingering feelings for LB were just something he had to deal with, not that it was still a toss up in his mind between her and Lauren. Sucks that Arie made Becca feel like she was still competing even after the show had ended. ugh

I listened to the RS podcast and he never said that. He said he didn’t know what Arie told Becca just that he is guessing that she knew about his lingering feelings and if she did and he liked Lauren pics while engaged to Becca and telling her he’s confused... gross.

Either way you paint this... he went about it the wrong way JMO. I don’t get what’s so special about Lauren that’s worth all that’s coming his way
