Arie Luyendyk Jr - Lauren Burnham - Bachelor 22 - Discussion

They both look exactly the same IMO - I have to squint to see the difference.

They are trying to convince the sceptics....or perhaps themselves? Not working for me. Perhaps if they first succeeded in doing what they actually say they are going to do? Let's start with something easy like staying off of SM...then we can work up to the harder stuff...no DM to other women, losing the sex spreadsheet, keeping the lyingdick in his pants. 

I don't recall them saying they were going to stay off SM but I may have missed it.

So true its tragic!  Add in Emily plus cpl others.. you got the clone Team.

Methinks Syd is a tad jealous, otherwise why would she even post this?     Btw, Lauren is much prettier than Syndey. Jmo.

She posted her photo with Arie on June 1, 2017 when she was in a relationship with him.

Reality Steve posted these 2 photos in comparison.

My bad. Then RS has way too much time on his hands.

We talking 12 step program? That short list might be harder than one thinks when it’s been perfected down to an art imo. This experience has made Arie aware how he gets caught so either he’ll be scared straight or sneakily smarter. I’m thinking the latter but it’s jmo.

I wonder if Sydney’s dna is still on the racing gear or would A buy a new one. Same type girl and same size after all . Jmo

They said they were going to stay off Social Media during the atfr, GA. It was in the same conversation where they said they were going to take an out of the country trip for a while.

Yup, I thought they were going to go out of the country for a while but then he takes her to a racing circuit. That’s what he’s always wanted, a girl he can take to the races.

Isn’t he also going to have a race in April so they will only be gone for like a week or two? I want them gone for months!

I have a hard time understanding why Arie shouldn't take Lauren to his races because he once took Sydney. My husband and I are planning visits to both of our hometowns in other states. By the logic mentioned, I can't take my husband to the Statue of Liberty in NY because I was once there with an ex? We can't leave our hotel in his home state because he has been everywhere else with an ex? That seems harsh. Arie is a race car driver. Every ex he ever had has likely experienced going to a race with him. JMO

I would say I stay off social media for the most part. 
I have one I post on(FB) and it's private except for my preferred allowances. I don't do Twitter, Snapchat, or IG. 
So, I think when compared to what is generally commented upon and viewed here, I am very low-key with social media. 
I think perhaps this couple might mean likewise that in comparison to other D grade celebs etc they are going to be more low-key. That's how I understood it. Maybe they will update their friends/fans etc and other than that stay lower key.

Personally, I still don’t think TPTB plan on doing any more wedding specials. If a couple wants to settle for a BIP level wedding they would be happy to accommodate them.

IMO the issue here is money. From what I've been told, if they televise a wedding on a show dedicated to only the wedding, they have to pay the couple $10,000 per hour of air time for the special program. If they televise a wedding embedded in another show (like BIP) then they don't have to pay the couple anything; this is IMO the reason why they have weddings embedded into BIP - they're just cheapskates.

Arie is financially well off enough to provide his queen with the wedding of her dreams IMO. Lucky guy can bite the hand that temporarily fed him. 

IMO the show has the exclusive rights to film any wedding that takes place within 2 years of the finale air date. I don't think that Arie and Lauren can stop them from filming it because they've already signed away the rights. But I believe that what they CAN do is decide when and where and what kind of wedding they want as long as they don't care if the show pays for it. IMO while the TV weddings look "fancy and high end" they really aren't - more like a high end wedding done on the cheap. I believe that Arie can afford to throw any kind of wedding they would want - big / small / true high end or whatever - and that might (and IMO should) be appealing - especially since they would not be subject in any way to the show's timeline.

Lauren is so much prettier. And she actually makes Arie look more attractive.

IA! She’s gorgeous IMO. I wish I had her hair!

ITA. 
My aunt does events in Beverly Hills and has coordinated on many with M.W.  All of the tv weddings IMO fit the lovely label of high end wedding done on the cheap.
JASH had a cash bar! I can't even imagine doing a high end Manhattan wedding like that. It would be embarrassing IMO.  Jason/Molly did not have an indoor venue provided for their ceremony. It poured rain on them. That is unheard of for a high end wedding. Alternate plans are always in the works.  I can go on and with specific examples but it's OT and old news. 
The point is the couples are all married and appear happy/healthy.  That's all that matters.
