If it’s the breakup and we get to see in an unedited way how Arie handled it, wow!  
Arie did them well imo!

It would be very interesting if it was the breakup scene - but I bet it's the time Arie came to Lauren's house in Virginia - not as exciting.  

Or the live part could be Becca and Arie confronting each other. So many options to pull out of this dung heap . Well, we’re getting to the point where many have said, they don’t want to judge till they see for themselves how things go down . We shall see.

@ElonM in a way i hope its similar to Nick's ATFR.... Just because imo all the spotlight was on Rachel and her bachette season with an early M&G...would be good if they did that for Becca if she is the bachette    just so i can move on quickly and start sleuthing some boys - jmo

While this is "news" to us right now, they all lived it 6 weeks ago so they've had a bit of time to collect themselves and gain perspective.

One can only hope! We could end up with another catchphrase - I think we are due "Living my best life," is sooo last year

You aren't kidding. TPTB are going to eat him alive on Monday/Tuesday whenever they get him on stage with Becca. I think he envisions a  full segment with  Lauren that will help explain why he felt she was the better choice for him after spending time with Becca. Ha! If they get more than a 10 minute segment to discuss their plans, he'll be lucky. Unless Becca turned them down, I can't imagine them not setting up her story to be a bachelorette everyone can be invested in esp after they rake Arie's demeanor over the coals during the breakup.  Are they going to bring out bachelors to meet Becca like they did for Rachel? There's no way they haven't turned their full attention to their new girl whoever she is. JMO

I think so, too!   Can I just say Arie is who brought me to this forum, so I’ll always love him for that.  In fact, my avi name is for him.     The diversity of thoughts here and support of members, whatever their opinions, is what has kept me here.  Thanks everyone!

That's so great! This forum is pretty awesome! I've been a member for many years. Some seasons I am more active than others. I wasn't even going to follow Arie's season until I heard about the switcheroo, and since that time, I haven't been able to look away.

The sad reality since the days of the recycled leads, is that the minute they call the season a wrap after FRC ... it’s all about the next lead... the edit... the publicity ... SM ... and the bus runs over ... backs up and runs over again and again the past lead. I don’t buy into their BS ... not my first rodeo .... I have a mind and know how to use it

@northernviewer - You have hit the proverbial nail on the head. I feel the same way; my loyalty as a fan from day one is waning rapidly. JMO.

Yep. 

If Becca is the Ette, no harm, no foul. We’ve lived through this before, and Jason/Molly/Melissa all landed on their feet. These fools will land on their feet too.

Yes, I agree!
