Bachelor 22 - Arie Luyendyk Jr - SM Media - *Sleuthing Spoilers* - #5

GuardianAngel wrote:I could see him saying the break up had nothing to do with Lauren. Makes perfect sense to me.

He wasn't in love with Becca and he knew it. They had one SHV, maybe 2 counting the 4wheeling. Dec 8th, was the last one. Meanwhile he's like Lauren's IG posts.

All though December, all through the holidays, no sneaking around that we could come up with. The next planned SHV was Jan 10th which I think was the break up. Over a month after the last one? While sleuthing, the timeline was definitely not making sense to me since he was accounted for quite often.


It will get harder before it gets easier.

RS said they spent New Year’s Eve together. Right before he called Lauren on New Years Day. Not a lot of separation time there. IMO.

Well for them I'm sure they didn't because they knew they was the one, why Becca wasn't and the signs were there.

ITA. And if that engagement was fake because it was part of this show (still doesn't make it right imo as it was a commitment on Arie's part) then imo Arie's potential second engagement with Lauren is fake too. And like with Becca, as long as Lauren is good with Arie possibly talking to other women and his being thirsty on his IG (because "Sex sells baby") I'm sure Lauren will finally come to understand exactly the type of person Arie is imo. It's Arie's pattern going by everything those he's been in relationships with have said and seems like what he did with them he did with Lauren too. So Arie can try to put out the image he is ready for marriage/monogamy and whatever else he wants but I don't buy any of it. Imo if Lauren wants to buy Arie's BS that's on her. Arie is Lauren's problem now and I have zero sympathy for her. She can't claim ignorance for what she is getting.

I could say some of the posts are mind boggling to me, and I can't believe how the tables have turned since the beginning of the season, but I don't. Because it's NOT in our rules to mention or shade member's opinions.

So if I or anyone else that is a registered member, feels Arie did nothing wrong, it's their opinion. If I or anyone else have changed their minds, and now think he's the worst person on earth, it's my right to say so. It's not anyone's right to question me or shade me. That goes for ALL MEMBERS. Why would anyone want to post their opinion's if they know there is a possibility of being made fun of.

We will start sending private message warnings, as this will not be tolerated. We don't play these games. If you don't like an opinion, respond within the rules.

I hate RS.  

The spoiled F1 gets all the support, even when they aren't the actual F1. Chantal had a huge fan base, including Emily when she said she believed the spoiler during airing.

I just wish he would go back under his rock. But since he apparently can't get a date, all he can do is talk about people who do date.

@Bet2Win  Correction. I think he dates his hand and crisco.

This is jmo, but I have zero respect for a man who won't fight for the woman he's in love with. Arie made a huge mistake. He needed to own it, and end things, and go for the woman he loves. That's exactly what he did, and sorry, but I applaud him for that. I realize that it did not go down the way everyone here (imo) thinks it should have gone down, but in all likelihood, that was out of his hands. I hope for the best for Arie and Lauren, and I hope that they can weather the storm ahead, because if they can get thru that, they can get thru anything.

RS didn't even have to spoil the season this time, Arie did it himself twice.

And, I don't agree that the F1 gets all the support. I must have missed it when Courtney, Vienna, or Jordan were major fan faves while the seasons were airing. Becca just comes across as likable, as seen with all the girls from her season liking her. RS's wrong spoiler didn't stop Emily from having an even bigger fan base than Chantal, did it? For the record, if the positions were reversed, I would be feeling sorry for Lauren (I mean, I still do, but for different reasons). No one deserves what Arie did. IMO.

I still hate him.

IIRC, Brad 2.0 was all about Chantal on the boards. Even when Brad was describing his F1 in interviews, everyone was saying he was describing Chantal to a T. Very few supported Emily, most thought she was boring.

Then we had that whackadoodle member that pretended she was Emily's friend constantly defending Emily.

Kasha and Bet- you are Naughty! Yeah - RS needs a woman. A dog. A hobby. A soul. A life.

What I find absolutely mind boggling is that they allegedly filmed this new proposal at some resort "in Dana Point." SERIOUSLY? The show couldnt spring for a secluded house somewhere in LA? An Airbnb rental? What? It would have cost them a couple of thousand dollars? But they could have kept this under wraps if they'd bothered. They could have kept Arie's visit to Virginia Beach under wraps if they'd bothered to do it in a rented home. I dont get the laziness of these producers. I just dont.
