She really does believe she's in love with Arie, otherwise I don't think she would've taken him back immediately, gotten engaged to him weeks after his last failed engagement, or planning to move in with him after the show (assuming RS is correct). And except for the fact that I think Arie's FOS with claiming to be in love with two women, I don't even think he's fake either and I'm definitely not one of those folks who believes in the theory that this was all scripted and Arie was in on it all.

@bleuberry I'm honestly not sure if he sees it coming. He did say the finale would be fun for him to watch back and he's said he thinks it will be exciting for viewers to watch. That doesn't sound like someone who's aware or afraid of going under the bus.

All JMO.

I don't think Arie is in it either. He's stupid and selfish, but I don't think he's a cruel, evil person, which you would have to be if this was scripted. I think it was just that he really did think he loved both girls and Becca was "easier" and he was taking the advice that Sean gave him (pick your best friend) and taking into consideration what his sister said, about not being with someone again that he couldn't have conversations with. And I think he was just always going to think the grass was greener because he had that concern the whole season, so it became a chicken vs. egg thing.

I don't think Arie knows what's coming! I think people never really attacked him for going after Emily when she was an engaged woman and most just saw it as a sign of his sincerity, so I think that in his mind, people will just see this as some big romantic gesture and forgive him once they see that Lauren and he have the greatest love story in the history of the universe. IMO.

Glad to know all those awkward silences and lack of real conversations weren’t my imagination. This all sets up the perfect out for Arie when he needs it in a few months. JMO

Arie saying he spends a lot of time reassuring Lauren and it worries him that he will have to keep reassuring Lauren "forever".  

Um, Arie you chose someone else on TV and told this other person you will choose her every day of your life, then you dump that person and all before doing this were worried about having to reassure Lauren forever  

Methinks Arie will have to keep reassuring Lauren forever especially since she's said she has trust issues and Arie has shown he is not exactly trustworthy per his exes and Becca and Lauren too imo. 

What a mess 

(interesting that Arie says there are two Laurens and he doesn't know which one will show up. Sounds like Arie describing himself as well imo  )
