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

Becca was a lamb led to the slaughter because Arie had secured another little lamb. Yes we suspected but to get confirmation is another thing imo. The pic sent to RS was probably the one with Arie standing outside Burnham’s home.

Me and a few others supported JPG and took a lot of flak for that. Same with Ed, same with Jason.

I have a feeling sometime in the future, Arie won't be so bad compared to future seasons as the drama bar is set higher and higher.

IF what RS said is true, Arie really is an A-hole.

Becca, and all the girls too, deserves someone who loves her unconditionally. I wish she will find that person soon, no matter she’s the next lead or not. Her latest IG post says #noragrets (I had to look it up) I hope she’s found her peace.

Sshhhhh...you're using common sense and logic here. Two things Arie is lacking in.

IMO.

Because IMO Lauren is the one he wanted to propose to, to begin with. Why date?

If Arie did indeed blindside Becca with the breakup and also said Lauren had nothing to do with it then he is scum.

Good luck with anyone liking you a-hole.

You either play the role or you are a JPG IMHO. That's the choice when they sign on that dotted line.

Oh, JPG is going to seem beloved compared to Arie. Especially since Becca is likely the Bachelorette? Yeah, they're going to make Jason, Brad, Juan Pablo, Ben F. All look like saints in comparison to Arie. They're going to screw him over like no other lead has been screwed. It's cute that Arie doesn't realize that and is still getting angry over misleading ILY promos. IMO.

Then there will be another bachelor after him that will make him look good and the saga continues.

I doubt it. This one is hard to beat. Maybe in another decade.

I can’t tell if Arie is just delusional or just that stupid to think people are going to actually like him after this. The way he’s been acting I figured something would come out about Becca but no she was just a innocent person who got hurt for Arie’s gain. Jmo

This one is going to work so well, they'll want to one up themselves. They brought the switch storyboard back with a vengeance IMHO because they learned from previous mistakes. Not getting key events on film, more blindsided shock value, it all works for them.

Wow we pretty much nailed this timeline, except for Becca being in New York City with Arie. They actually saw each other more than I thought. Definitely 3 times.

The fact she was blindsided and he was talking to Lauren feeling her out prior is disgusting to me. He deserves all of the backlash he will get. His beautiful ending is just sad.

I now hope Becca gives it to him at ATFR, I don’t even want her to be nice anymore. She can be nice to all the 25 men that will be vying for her heart and most likely one will be a gem that Arie will never be.

If Lauren said she’d fight for their love early on while he’s still with Becca, what was she expecting ? Arie is an azz but how is Lauren innocent ? Just asking so don’t jump down my throat please.
