Bachelor 22 - Arie Luyendyk Jr - SM Media - *Sleuthing Spoilers* - #4

The bachelorette tend to have better luck at finding love on the show I would love to see becca as the bachelorette

I think if you ask all the successful bachelorettes if they’d do it again to find their great love they’d all do it again in a heartbeat. Trista, Des, Ashley, Jojo, Kaitlyn and Rachel. That’s a pretty good success rate right now.

Becca is funny and relatable, she’d rock the role. Whatever they throw  at her can’t get much worse. I’d venture a bet this time next year she’s in a wonderful relationship with her final one and they’ll be one of the franchises most adored couples.

So Lauren quit her job in Dallas and moved back to Virginia. I am going to assume then, she will move to Arizona to be with Arie post Finale.

Now he doesn’t even want to say he fell in love with two women .

LOL. He is so trying to rewrite this crap. Let me clear if you honestly think you fell in love with two women you didn't fall in love with EITHER in my mind. JMO. He is going to throw Becca under the buss to make him and Lauren look good and like "true love". Not interested JMO.

But Becca's heartbreak will be so hard to watch and I really feel for her. Arie said that he had a hard time eliminating people so he took more to Paris than he should have, but the producers drew the line at the hometown dates, and said he could only have 4. Arie defended Krystal so I give him credit there.

I listened to it too and thought he came off well. He said his top 4 on night one were Becca K, Krystal, Chelsea, and Annalise. He said that his most memorable date so far has been with Lauren B in Paris. He did say he fell in love with two women here - the host jokingly yelled at him for pulling a Ben Higgins and saying ILY to two women. If she only knew!

 He could only have 4  this is totally Arie imo and makes me think of his ex's tweet about Arie's greatest challenge will be choosing just one woman at the end of it all. I still can't get over how she likely called it even before he started filming  I think if there weren't "rules" Arie would still be wanting to date multiple women  jmo

how was that date with Lauren B the most memorable though? I forgot about it five minutes after

Sorry, I heard him say, you just have to watch when asked about the two ily’s . That’s my problem with Arie. I like him as a person. Love his racing vids and commentary . Just don’t think he did his last two girls any favors this season. If it was always Lauren then, good for him. But it didn’t go down like that . Of all people, it was Arie who messed things up, not to mention his exes. Arie presents well but that’s not his whole story imo.

That the producers had to "draw the line" makes me think that Arie was his own worst enemy and TPTB were/are trying to fix his mess. jmo

ETA: Given he wanted to have more women for HTDs it sounds to me like Arie wanted to call the shots a bit which never goes well with TPTB and this show imo. 

As posted above, it also ties into Arie's reputation as being someone who has a hard time choosing just one woman. Those are all things that are on Arie and not TPTB and if anything, perhaps TPTB were the ones trying to make him choose only ONE women  

IDK, I'd feel more sympathy for Arie with TPTB's ways but given every other lead has to deal with the same TPTB what Arie does is on him. jmo

Nah. Arie can be his own worst enemy. But IMO TPTB live for that crap. They love it and go with it and add gasoline to whatever smoke, smoldering or flames. That's what they do.

Now that’s a thought ! Can you imagine him going on 6 HTD’s and asking 5 fathers and 1 mother for approval of marriage If BabyBeks was one, at least her mother would have known where she was
