Btw, Ross' (Russ) followers on IG skyrocketed last night and some are petitioning for him to be the next lead.

Sung by Mrs. MF no less. In my mind that just means bad karma.

And NO to Ross as bachelor. We already saw Jesse Palmer, Sean and Josh, please no more over grown, over muscled former jocks. Please. JMO.

Really? Mrs. Fleiss sang it?

Thanks. I thought that was pretty funny. 

This scene made me also.  I saw Becca almost laugh too.  

@Mommyof2
Yeah, they both look as if they are suppressing some awkward giggles.

Arie not knowing which one he wants, is IMO no different than the last 21 bachelors. I could see her as my wife, I could see falling in love with her, I could see a future with her. He even said that about Kendall. They all say it.

Have we ever had a bachelor that knew exactly which contestant he wanted and never said the same about another contestant?

If I was playing a drinking game were I drank every time @ariejr said “i love you” I’d be wasted

Her "dress" is very similar to the nightie I wore on my wedding night a very long time ago. I still have it as a keepsake. I like it as a nightie. It was very sexy for 1979--a Chloe' given as an engagement gift.

Lucky hubby!

IMO, I think people are going harder on Arie because of the reputation he had outside of the show. And as for the argument that he shouldn't have proposed to Becca if he wasn't sure about her, couldn't that argument also be made for the other Bachelors besides Sean? How many of those relationships ended within a few months of the show airing? Leaving Lauren out of it, I think in a way it's better that Arie ended it sooner rather than later. I'm sure Becca was really hurt but I think she would've been even more hurt if Arie continued the relationship to ATFR. This is all IMO.

Nope.  The mystery would be over.  I have to hand it to TPTB this year.  They have many viewers waiting on the edge of their seats for this finale.  . #wegotemrightwherewewantem.

Yes, but I like Arie much more with Becca. Probably because I find the wishy-washy personality of Lauren to be such a turn off. Don't know if it is entirely editing or partly Lauren, but she sure doesn't express herself very well. What a difference from Bekah, who is very succinct and articulate!

Lauren is ready to go right into an engagement and run with it .  

Kendall is so cool - pick-up line for the Bachelor: "Roses are red, my love life is dead"!

Kendall's date was by far my most favorite date as it looked like they both were very chill and had fun!

It's exhausting watching Lauren's date because she constantly needs reassurance. I have never seen such an awkward date with lots of silence at this stage! Arie is about the chase and he will grow tired of Lauren eventually. He might actually chase Beks or Kendall when Lauren ends. Sometimes needing too much reassurance is not about having strong feelings but there's so much insecurity that fear is greater! I'm always doubtful when people can't pinpoint why they love the other person like it's some mythical thing.  Goodluck to them, they will definitely need it. This is almost watching Brad giving too many reassurance to Emily. Look where that ended up.

Becca at the rose ceremony is gorgeous! Love that dress on her and her trying on earrings is not acting. She was trying on a perfect pair for the dress. All of them says Arie is handsome.  I can understand when you're annoyed with someone, every little thing they do is annoying.  Like I'm annoyed as hell with Lauren's conversation peppered with "like" atter each word.

I think Arie chose Becca because all of a sudden he felt the chase wih Becca. He didn't have any challenge with her and then the ex showed up. I can see that as reason.

Favorite line of the night-
Arie: "Why is the hotel manager here?"

IMO people are not aware that they use like every other word in their spoken speech. Or overuse the word amazing. Becca uses amazing a lot as well. You have to hear yourself back to realize you are doing it because you don't even hear all the filler likes.

I work in speech and we tape people in a conversation they are not aware that they are being taped and play it back. They are usually horrified at their accent (that they insist they don't have), the number of likes, ums, ahhs, you know, and the two words amazing and awesome.

Anyway back to scheduled programming.
