Kaitlyn's season with Jared maybe? I wish they'd get some new people in Story Production because I'm getting tired of seeing / hearing the same plot lines and dialog repeat from season to season. I mostly tune it out when I see repeats ...

@Lucas15 they should hire us! There are a lot of us around here that can come up with pages full of storyboards.

I thought the broken down car was Ali but couldn't find it. All I know is it was already scripted in another season.

@Lucas15
The prototype to this show was Who Wants to Marry a Multimillionaire. Remember Darva Congers didn't even know the guy and she married him! All done in the span of a tv show. One episode. The thing is --there were other goofball women vying for him, too. 
IMO this is what MF is trying to capture.

Has there been another season where it was crystal clear the Lead wanted one person and kept the other two around ? Then so much static is produced to prevent this from happening ?

I have said it before and I will say it again. Arie is 36, not 26. His clock is ticking if he wants to have a family. I already had a child by his age and I am considered an "older Mom." My DH is an "older Dad." Heck, when we had our second child, my OB labeled me as "elderly." No joke. We regret not having children sooner as it can be very difficult to be an older parent, especially as your energy levels plummet as you age. So Arie might be ready to settle down now. Jmo and as always time will tell.

@Stone_Hedge I think there are a few seasons where that happened. Deanna's for one. She wanted Graham. He wanted out. He wanted out so badly after the HTD he was not going to come to the RC. He was "encouraged" and showed up looking kind of pissy to make his point. Production made it look like Deanna let him go. IT was the exact opposite. She was up a creek at this point.

More self centered words from Arie. He can be happy and still admit that telling two women ILY will cause them both pain. And I am sorry, the two ILYs have not been normal, so they should not have had to expect that.

From now on, we know to not believe a single word out of any bachelor’s mouth.

JMO.

His ex Jenna Jones said Arie claims to be hopeless romantic yet forever cheats and does despicable wrongs to women. They seem to know Arie pretty good .Sydney said he’d have a hard time choosing one. Arie might be in the hopeless romantic stage with Lauren, but the rest is yet to come Jmo.

I am kind of surprised this Ex girlfriend, Jenna, hasn’t been more specific in how Arie treated her, like the other exes have been. Be totally honest or don’t say anything at all if you are just going to be vague and drop hints. That’s JMHO...

It was pretty clear that Jake wanted Vienna and there were some weird things going on BTS. He had no interest in sugary sweet Tenley, but he had to drag someone to the F2 and she was it.

JMO, but if he was ready to settle down he wouldn't have been screwing around with a girl who was a college senior when they met that he, by his own admission did not love and see a future with, the month before he started filming the Bachelor. People that want to settle down don't just magically realize that when they're offered a TV show. They usually are searching for that for a while beforehand, like we saw with Rachel. JMO.

^^ This is a proven fact? How do we know this bit of information? From Arie? Just curious.

Ok, thank you and @Kasha. Guess I need to watch some old Seasons. What’s BTS?
