Bachelor 22 - Arie Luyendyk Jr - Episodes - Feb 5th - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

Many times in light conversation people will use 'scared' and 'nervous' interchangeably, imo

Did she feel this could be the tipping point to completely let her guard down ?

Maybe she is scared because she doesn't want to be sent home like another Lauren? They edit it the way that suits them, especially when they make promos.

Great point. It was the possible outcome .

Watch an exclusive #TheBachelor promo! Arie Luyendyk Jr. takes Kendall and Krystal on the dreaded two-on-one date:

After a while it will be time for Bekah to leave, right, chemistry is not everything in a serious relationship. I think his relationship with Lauren B will start developing in this episode and they don't show us much about how his relationship with Becca is developing.

Maybe they aren't showing it / maybe they're editing a different narrative / maybe there's nothing to show because it isn't developing.  

While Arie seems to like Bekah there's something about her that bothers me. She's flirty and intriguing and teasing but I haven't seen anything yet that tells me she's really ready for a serious committed relationship - for me these are moments where her age shows. Though not part of the show, maybe another is that she went to work on a marijuana farm just recently that lead to her being inaccurately reported as missing. Nothing wrong with that exactly - maybe just a bit immature.

I see a little bit of that same "teasing" side of Lauren (eg Arie's coffee preferences are "basic") but then she turns around and makes a very logical and open (and serious) statement that her biggest fear is falling for Arie and he chooses someone else. IMO the 1-1 date tonight is going to be interesting to watch.

If you thought that Super Bowl was exciting, just wait for tomorrow night’s thrilling episode of #TheBachelor !!! A real nail-biter...

Oooh, I can hardly wait.

The more I think about this little switcheroo, it really is crappy of Arie to do this, whether it was his idea or TPTB.  I suppose it makes for great ratings in the end though.  Arie will be crucified on SM.  Jmho.

Arie will just disable his comments like he’s done. Guess if this was going to be done, Arie was the perfect stooge if urged by TPTB. He was trying to be relevant again and but might leave with notoriety . Jmo. Win win for either party.
