I just did! Unfortunately, it wasn’t as good as it was hyped up to be. They referenced Arie liking her IG pictures. Ashley brought it up about him sliding into Lauren’s DMs, but it didn’t seem like he actually did. One of the ladies (they were all talking over each other) said that’s what he did, another lady said no, he called her, and then Tia finally said she was with Lauren when Arie called her.

Apparently, Tia was with Lauren for New Years/the premiere and they were with Raven and Adam. Tia didn’t listen in on the conversation, but Tia said Lauren was told Becca knew about everything and that Arie told her he just couldn’t shake his feelings for her. That was honestly the biggest revelation.

The girls were good to both Becca and Lauren. Caroline has some bias clearly, but was still good to Lauren. Kendall was very thoughtful and she’s close to both girls. Overall, it’s still a good listen, but nothing earth shattering came out of it. All JMO

“This is shocking!!!”  Says nobody.

And now we know who is the source of RS spoiler (confirmation) ... Tia, you're busted.

Thank you for listening to the podcast and for clarifying the details.

It may not have been Tia running to RS, but I can certainly see Raven taking the opportunity.

It sounds like Arie told Becca of his feelings but was downplaying them to reassure her. So, Becca’s assumption, based on her conversations with Arie, was he working thru said feelings for Lauren and once the finale aired and he didn’t have to “relive” those feelings every week then they could move on in the real world and everything would be fine.

While Arie told Becca of his lingering feelings for Lauren, he downplayed them. And though he told Lauren Becca knew about his feelings for her, he exaggerated to Lauren exactly what Becca knew.

According to Becca, Arie was just going to call Lauren on premiere night to check in her and make sure she was doing okay. Instead, we find out, he told Lauren he was still in love with her and that Becca knew “everything.”

Sounds like Arie did a whole lot of exaggerating of the truth and fibbing...

@XQZME Yeah, Arie is going to grow a long nose from his “truths” that were more excuses to cover his lies and look like a good guy. 

Arie can’t disappear fast enough for me. JMO.

So wait. Did Becca know Arie talked to Lauren on premiere night or not?

Newto wrote:Frankly I think filming and showing the break-up was done for shock value.  IMHO it should have been kept private.  It is bad enough that he broke up with her and worse that it was put out there for the world to see.

Of course if Becca is the next Bachelorette, these scenes will no doubt be the opening of the show.

I just can't imagine Becca wanting to be Bachelorette.  If I were her, I'd be running as fast as I could in the opposite direction.

All

I think most watching last night would have preferred the editing crew to have given us only 10-15 minutes max to view.

In the people article Becca says she knew. Arie told her needed to call Lauren to apologize for hurting her. Not to profess his live. I encourage you to read Becca’s People interview. She admits the truth, but she points out all of Arie’s half truths. JMO.

Gotcha. Team Becca, for sure. 

I am proud to have never drunken the Arie Kool-Aid. I thought he was slimy (highly overrated) back in 2012. 2018 has only magnified that sleezeball factor.

 I’m not always right reading these people, but when I am, bet your butt I’m gonna brag about it.
