Hubby doesn't know anything more than the episode appearing on the screen but he commented to me that Arie was way more into Lauren than she into him. He said the guy likes the chase.

Which is why he was way better suited as one of many on The Bachelorette, not with 20+ women fawning over him. He comes across as a horny old man, if I'm being frank. He makes out heavily with everyone, even if he's clearly not into them. If he had showed even a modicum of self restraint, maybe I could've give him the benefit of the doubt - but as it stands, I'm just getting more grossed out.

During ATFR it's even worse I think. At least on a  SHV not that many people are present.
Reality TV has it's rules.

He could have just done it off-camera like Jason. He had no problem flying to see Emily 5 years ago or posting IG stories of himself and Becca after filming against his contact and TPTB's rules and desires,  but now he couldn't even do this? They could have just re-enacted it on-camera like Jason/Melissa or he could have done a sit down with CH and explained the breakup. He did this so he could give them good TV, at the expense of someone else's feelings. IMO.

Yep.  My feelings about Kendall have shifted.  She annoyed me somewhat (but not as much as Krystal) but she has shown a maturity that others should strive for.  But I would not want to watch her as the 'ette. Nor do I want to see Becca in that role.  I think they need to stay away from the franchise.

And while his eyes are nice, sadly they aren't enough to wipe away the shadiness that keeps creeping up by his post filming behavior.

I hope he and LB at some point win me over but at this point, I'm just not buying what they are selling individually or together.  Hate to be a Debbie downer here but all this yucky shadiness coming from his season is actually making Nick and Benji and their messes of seasons look better to me.
