It's strange for me b/c I feel like they formed a true friendship. IDK why I feel that way but her pictures with him always look like an authentic friendship to me.  

He might not be referencing their friendship. It’s about the predicament Becca is in. Charade and the word racket sticks out knowing how this season is playing out for her imo.

I am not @Kashathediva, but, I would say story boards are probably generic until they pick a lead. Then they fill in the details based on the weaknesses or as they view it, the delightful plotlines, the lead and the contestants present them to exploit. Remember, they also have psychological experts who will tell tptb which buttons to push which will produce what desired effects/reactions. AMO

Arie is in LA. Time for another SHV?

Could be. Or maybe they're doing the People shoot earlier this time.

Taking it a little further, they decide the dates, not the lead (IMO). There is a reason why you get certain people on certain dates, especially the 2 on 1's. In Nick's season, Corinne and Taylor. This season Krystal and Kendall. Also no coincidence that someone with a past traumatic experience gets a date that will just expound that trauma (Annaliese and dogs and bumper cars). The lead may indicate who he is interested in the most but I'd guess TPTB choose which individual date they get.

I also say that is why Kendall was taken as far as hometowns even though she never had a 1 on 1. TPTB wanted that taxidermy highlighted on the show. And, it makes sense since Arie has said he asked for another HT date. Kendall wasn't as high on his radar as Baby Beks was. But IMO he was forced to take Kendall.

I said yesterday or the day before to check their feet for a SHV this weekend because he'll be in Australia next weekend.

Thank you. I just listened to Kaitlin’s podcast. She said Lauren confessing love was probably producer suggestion to her. Regarding Arie walking away, it could have been to ask if he could reciprocate because they want it on mike and not like what she did, mouthed it to Shawn kinda off mike. They were furious with her for that . Another suggestion to Arie if Lauren said ily was to walk away for dramatic effect and that it’d look better. After this, I think I’m going back to Unreal which shows you what’s real .

Storyboards are real!  

I don't in any way, shape or form think that photo was meant as anything but a backdrop of another photo on their social media page.It was like a photo bomb backdrop and should never have been shown.

@Stone_Hedge
I think they are fairly generic and follow a formula. Think about. In general, each season certain things happen during each episode that are the same. 
They do take a lot of the strengths of the cast person from their first season and twist them into weaknesses during their time as lead. This is why these people have to be careful what they wish for. Most of the lead, regardless of finding love or not, go through the production shredder.

@Kashathediva right that's how I remember it. TY

If Arie is in Australia next weekend, do we know when ATFR is being taped?

I'm not sure that Arie and Lauren will have a People shoot. This will be interesting.

@GuardianAngel According to RS he's hearing the ATFR is a live taping over two days on 3/5 and 3/6.

Why don't you think Arie and Lauren will have a People shoot?

Per his IG story, Arie is in LA. Perhaps where he’s in Australia next weekend, this weekend will be their last SHV and shoot for People.

Even with the switch, I think there will be a People shoot unless Arie turned them down.
