Bachelor 22 - Arie Luyendyk Jr - Episodes - Mar 6th ATFR - #2 - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

Grasping at straws here...

What if RS is right about an engagement but wrong about WHO got engaged? Could that romantic beach-side set-up have been for another bachelor nation couple that is  together but not engaged? Maybe the Australian couple from BWG, Dean and Leslie, Raven and her boyfriend, Chris Harrison and Ben H...am I missing anyone?

It would be crazy but Chris Harrison loves to remind us this show is about "finding true love." I'm definitely here for the circus. Apologies if this has been speculated elsewhere...

@sdmom and you're doing a bang up job. I took have been searching, I'd help you with Seattle but need to leave ATM. Find that landscape!

If they get married my wish is that Arie is faithful and treats Lauren right. If he doesn't, then divorce won't be the worst thing that can happen and would be a better option than staying in that imo. I wouldn't wish any woman to be in a marriage with a man who doesn't treat her right and has other women on the dl. jmo

I understood what you meant but CH and Ben H being a "bachelor nation couple" had me

Well, it would be a "first" for the show. And, make for the MOST DRAMATIC FINALLY EVER!

I was also wondering if there were any big anniversaries for the Bachelor married couples...maybe a vow renewal/proposal/commitment? I don't know. It will be interesting.

I feel sorry Becca seemed to be blindsided and was very sad. I hope she will find her Mr Right soon. I hope Arie is a reformed man and he and Lauren’s love is true and can last.

I love this board, we have the best sleuthers. I appreciate all the work the mods have done: moderating, sleuthing, making screencaps, etc.
Now I am off and off to more sleuthing!

I love that you have a sweet and tender heart, and I find you have that for all. I truly, truly admire that. I enjoy reading your posts and posting with you whether we agree or not.

I try to be kind, but I find that I don’t mind seeing karma exert herself. Maybe I have a limited capacity for compassion, because honestly for me I don’t mind seeing a person reap what they sow.

JMO.

ETA: with the crap out of Tanner’s mouth, I hope he is lying to appear “manly”, if not seeing Jade escape him would make me happy.

@North good thought!  Jason and Molly just celebrated their 8th wedding anniversary a couple of days ago.  Since they’ll be on for sure, I could see that being celebrated.

I noticed that the press release for this March 6th episode says "AFTER THE FINAL ROSE" and not for the Mar 5th one. 

I am thinking March 5 will be the finale and then the video footage of Arie breaking up with Becca, (perhaps Arie talking to Jason), Arie talking to Lauren, and then possibly follow-up footage of Arie and Lauren and SHVs and if he proposes that video footage too so it is seen as the "final" rose for the night.

...then CH cliffhanger to tune into ATFR the next day to see what Arie has to say, etc.

Then for this episode on March 6, I could see Becca talking to CH, Becca talking to Arie, Lauren and Arie, and the Bette announcement either after that or somewhere in the segments so like Ben H's ATFR where JoJo who was F2 was announced that same night. 

They could mix it up a bit as well and start with Lauren and Arie video for March 6 ep but from the press releases it only sounds like the contestants will be on the couch with CH for March 6 ep so I think most of the video footage will be shown the night before and then this episode will be reflection on the couch with CH and the Bette announcement.

That is very possible @AllAboutLove
@SDmom thank you for the kind words. 
When I think of this show what comes to mind is: not my circus, not my monkeys. 
I hate seeing anyone being humiliated and whatever else that one clause in the contract states. However, buyer beware.

@Kashathediva I was wondering what may be with the most cliffhanger thing TPTB can use to get viewers tuning in to the next day (that's what they seem to do ). But then if they're announcing the next Bette that could be enough reason to tune in a second night? 

I do think  bringing in Jason and Molly (on video and/or live the second night) it could be TPTB using that to help stave off some backlash - basically a way for TPTB to say what Arie has done has been done before and can work and then segue into the Bette announcement so if Becca it would seem like it's a win-win for both parties. 

I think Ben having 2 ILYs then on ATFR re-proposing to Lauren and JoJo was announced as Bette that same night helped lessen the backlash he received. TPTB aren't their friends but I think it could help lessen things some for Arie if he has Jason/Molly's narrative and Becca as Bette announced.

This has turned into quite a soap opera. Can someone wake me when it's over?

I could be off based here but I think the 5th is a 3 hour episode with previously taped footage of what happened after the show at the end. I think Tuesday night is the actual ATFR where Arie, Becca, and Lauren talk about the finale. Arie isn't scheduled to be on Live with Kelly and Ryan until Wednesday when previous leads went that Tuesday and I can't see him doing that until ATFR airs. This is all IMO.
