Arie and Lauren also liked the pic. I have no doubt she will be the next lead! I wonder if we’re going to see heartbroken or over it from her. If the next lead, hopefully it’s over it!

I agree. Ready for another strong, take-charge, Bachelorette, really cute & funny guys, and some great date locations. This season will be hard to tops for scenic views though -- Paris to Peru with Italy in between, wow! That's the way to do it!

Amen I am so done with these wimpy bachelors, I skipped both Nick and Arie's seasons, and I doubt I will be watching Ben 2.0. The Bachelorette is definitely my show to watch and the female leads never disappoint. So excited for Becca!

Be careful of the things you say. I would like put forth a scenario. Let's say Becca is 'ette, she has to sign a contract and in that contract she has to pick someone in the end. She gets 30 guys, she finds her one and get to the F3 or F2 but then he decides to bail and can't go through with it. What will she do? There's many more scenarios JMO

@Ladybug82  I like Courtney. I like Arie. So it's cool with me.

Skimmed though some posts .... so RS is getting fed from Beccas camp? And she’s denying knowledge that a breakup was coming? Is that the gist of it?

Yep that's it and I'm not biting. First he said she knew of his feelings for Lauren and she's blindsided. Ok sure

No, we don’t know where RS got his info. It’s all speculation

Courtney and Arie make a beautiful couple--okay by me, too, if it's what they want. But I doubt it is.

Has this been discussed anyplace? Arie said his three fears about doing the show are/were:
1. Choosing someone who doesn't choose him back.
2. Choosing the wrong person.
3. Finding out no lady in the room is the one for him.

He may get to #3. That's okay with me, too, if it's what's right for him.

To me, this is only a week/2 with very few safe house visits and no real basis to their relationship so far.  Therefore IMO, there is  a huge difference between Arie and talking about Bryan, Jordan and Shawn.  Actually IMO, there is really no comparrison because of the length of time we are referencing here.  with Arie we are talking about a mere few weeks and seeing each other a very few times compared to months, and years that those relationships have been going.  IMO

Got it. In that case I'm hoping he pulls another Mesnick and chooses Courtney, since that's who he'll end up going back to anyway IMO. He and Lauren have only been together for a few weeks. No big!

Seems like he was with Lauren longer than he was with Becca
"Singing" going to the chapel and we're going to get married  JMO

Aren't they all? It's crazy, I've read so many opinions that felt it was always Lauren. I've read Becca went along with the storyboard. After last night, his time with Lauren didn't outshine his time with Becca in any way, IMO. If it weren't for RS, I would be floored at the switch after watching his date with Becca.

I don't blame Lauren for being excited the past few weeks but if I were sitting in her shoes after watching last night, I would have to wonder if Arie really knows what he wants in a life partner.

Depth isn't his strong suit. There has to be more than pretty in a relationship and with these two, I have no idea how they are going to find that between the two of them. Honestly, interesting and finding any depth to their conversation is like pulling teeth.

It's mind boggling when you go back and watch the relationship he shared with Bekah M.  Talk about night and day. I still haven't figured out how on earth we ended up here.

It's said she's a smart lady.  Then how could she see her new fiancee' twice in two months and not think, "Maybe things are not working outs so well"?

Or if she gets one who wants to propose and one who is not ready for a proposal but wants to start a relationship (who is wildly popular with the public).  She loves them both.  How does she choose and will the fans still love if she "chooses" wrong.

Well, TPTB are always shooting for the "most dramatic season" ever - so that is something to look forward to! Not sure what Becca's or Tia/Seinne/Kendall's possible 'Ette season and yet-to-be-named suitors has to do with Arie's season but I'm always in for the drama!

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.

How do I not know about these things that occur in my backyard. It's either at the Ritz Carlton or the St. Regis, now known as Monarch Beach Resort.  

Bette, I've been and both places are gorgeous...lovely for a wedding, which got me to thinking??
