It's days like this where it makes absolutely zero sense for ABC to complain about what I do. I just took a needle of adrenaline to their worst rated season in years. Now EVERYONE will be tuning in for their finale to see this poop show play out. You're welcome.

Our worst nightmare is a Fleiss wet dream . Ratings hike for sure. Sad.

RS is so smug. I'm tired of it

I don't care for RS but he's not wrong with this one. It's only going to get viewers/media/SM talking. Look at the pages already on the thread. It's working

Yup and his diary is his weapon . A serial switcharoo-er.

Damn. Can't forget the journal/diary. The journal HAS to be part of filming his switcheroo with Lauren. No way else I see it happening but Arie pulling out his journal to convince the girl (and her parents) of his tru tru love feelings. I will have to get the popcorn out if/when Arie pulls that journal out. Seems like he really is going for the title of biggest villain Bach lead ever  

Do you think we'll get a Balcony Cry after he let his twu wuv 4eva Lauren go at the FRC?

Could be interesting, but Becca would not gain a thing.

What if this is damage control.  What if Becca had 2nd thoughts once out of the Bach bubble - especially since it is rumored her ex showed up. What if she thought it through and her ex looked better, even if she didn’t want to rekindle. No lead has ever been rejected publically while the season is airing. It like Arie is showing he too is capable of a grand gesture. 
Just a possibility among many. 

I agree @AllAboutLove that ‘the journal” is definitely being used to build a narrative. Definitely means something.

Anything is possible but going by Becca's SM activity (posting on her IGstory of her cat and how at least someone loves her, her 'mood' pic of wilted flowers, her liking comment of her and Caroline ending up together at the end rather than her and Arie, etc) I'm inclined to think that Becca was dumped by Arie and it wasn't her initiated choice

I honestly don't even know what to say.

I agree ! We don’t know whole story !
I am not ready to throw them under the bus !
I feel like the next few weeks we will see how he fell for both and the conflict going through the process !

We have not seen much of Lauren !
I like Becca a lot but since we that follow spoilers knew it was her we probably didn’t pay too much interest in the other girls !
I am eager to see the “love story” unfold with both girls and how it came to where it is now !

I feel for Becca, but she is better off.

I was more or less joking with this one (The whole Not Peter - Peter thing) but since I skipped last 'Ette season and I don't know much about Peter (oter than he's hot) I guess he's kind of a bad guy?

Anyway, I'm a few minutes into the new episode and Krystal is saying 'Arie is a guy who knows what he wants' I had to pause and ROFL at that one
