Listening to Lauren on JKL, she is as self centered as Arie. Perhaps they are perfect for each other? 

I know I personally have no respect for her lack of empathy for Becca. 

All JMO.

Ok a serious note. Nothing these two are saying is realistic or sane. But it’s Arie and Lauren we are talking about. They have about five brain cells put together.

Well that was 7 weeks longer than Becca did when she accepted his proposal

Getting engaged and getting married are two separate things. Becca never said they were planning a wedding. I think the engagement itself with Lauren was stupid since both have broken engagements and, you know, Arie was engaged to another women just 7.5 FREAKING WEEKS AGO. But, as Kimmel said, "you get the ring free if you get engaged now, so okay, do that" but "SLOW THE H*L DOWN". No other successful couple started planning their wedding literally days afterwards. You take a few months to build a relationship, because as any of the couples will tell you, you've been in a bubble so far. The real relationship starts now. So take a second. Get to know each other. Then, if you still still feel in a couple of months that you love each other and are compatible, by all means! IMO.

DeAnna talked about her wedding plans with Jesse at their AFTR. This very much reminds me of that. DeAnna trying so hard to make a bad thing good.JMO.

I wonder why the answer to that question isn't being discussed.

IMO, because the whole thing was a setup and TPTB basically said, go along with it Becca, give a good show and you get your season.  I know I am going to have to duck with that thought, but why else would she "permit" because she obviously did, the cameras to follow her on the plane, follow her home, film in her home, so on and so forth.  Yes, she put on a good show, got people to fall for it, now she has her season.  IMO

@Auntie_Love wrote:IMO, a LOT of what was filmed post season just shouldn't of been done.  Did they need to film more other than what was shown last night....NO IMO.  BUT, what I also believe is that Becca was in on most of what happened.  I think that since epi 7 was filmed, everyone knew that Arie was going after Lauren.  Then if it wasn't obvious then, then for sure it was obvious on FD.  That is the timing for sure if not before that Becca may of been approached.  I think back to her ex arriving at the FD time, the crap that went down with that and I for sure had a gutt feeling that from here on out, acting is happening for sure.  I felt pretty confident that the rest was so she'd get the audience for the bette gig. Then add in what you said @Kashathediva about how Jason advised Arie how to do things, yet the opposite was done....that was because the ball was already in motion at the end of October when the ex was talked into coming on the show....they had to keep things going.  I also think that is why we never saw Lauren's parents tonight at their house....they knew what was going on as well and wouldn't partake in any more.  Bottom line do I think it was a complete setup from HTD's onward......a HUGE YES!

Agreed.  

I'm not a fan of this scenario -- and call me naive -- but this means all of them, Arie, Lauren and Becca are horrible, terrible people. Looking at the entire situation with an Occam's Razor sense -- only Arie made a mistake and rectified it shortly thereafter. How he went about it, may not have been the best, but at least the cruelty and manipulation was pre-planned. IMO.
