Arie Luyendyk Jr - Lauren Burnham - Bachelor 22 - Discussion #2

@sosleepy These two are so shallow, they remind me of what Moana said about rings, they are about as deep as a wading pool. IMO.

Thanks for posting this! :  I don't follow any Bach Nation peeps on SM and wouldn't have seen this kick-a** pic of Lauren otherwise.

So fun to see Arie's beautiful queen toasting to all: "Too glam to give a damn" indeed. IMO.

They are probably as deep as the majority of the bach participants / viewing audience, but I really shouldn't judge since I don't know most of them.

IMO it's clear several of the other contestants felt the same way. Had they genuinely cared for Lauren they wouldn't have attacked Arie the way they did.

This then leaves the question whether Lauren was bullied/alienated in the house. Of course the production would have edited it out because (imo) a genuinely nice woman like Lauren getting emotionally abused does not look good for the show. It would explain why Lauren was withdrawn and insecure while she definitely has an outgoing and confident side.

I find it somewhat surprising that the negativity on Instagram continues, people are really out to destroy them.

I love when people post about how much they don't care, and thus imo showing how much they actually do care .

It would be a wonderful trip, IMO, as long as neither Arie or Lauren were there.

LOL.  I don’t know what it says about me, but I’d love to hang out with them!  

I think Arie is probably a lot of fun to hang out with and keeps everyone laughing. This couple may last, they may break up, but they are making memories regardless of the long term outcome.

The majority of the ladies in the house were friends with both of the F2.  Some closer to one than the other, but that's normal based on different personalities and all, IMO.  Their attacking Arie had nothing to do with either of the girls, no blame went to the girls and strictly was about how he handled things, many of them have said as much in multiple interviews and on their SM.  

From what the others on the season with her said and IMO, Lauren just has that quieter personality in groups it seems.  I think she probably does better one on one or once she gets comfortable in a situation, the shy, quieter side tends to disappear.  

If there was mistreatment of anyone in the house, it would have come out by now, IMO.

I agree. I think for the most part the women did get along well this season.

Arie shouldn't have had to delete the IG post IMO, but maybe he realized that though he has an unabashedly cheesy fondness for Lauren's eyes, it's better to keep it to themselves rather than let their rare and meaningful memorabilia and experience be marred by people's slights on IG who don't get it or don't appreciate it. And I agree, I think the delicate nuances of color and details of the iris make for a remarkable piece of art, and if I happened to find myself near one of the locations of this studio in the future I would strongly consider getting one of my own... in an eye blink!  

I agree with this, actually. On its own, the eye piece was lovely. Very intimate. Perhaps it shouldn’t have been used as a “look at us, we are so in wuv” for their hundreds of thousands of IG followers. It made something that was so personal feel like a prop. Keep some things for yourself. 

JMO.

It was her eye, not her vajayjay. When he post a close up of that, I'll be right there with you, even if some call it art!

You win the comment of the day! I literally LOL!

Society is very accepting of bullying in certain circumstances.

Let me see if I can summarize, this shows who these women shared pictures of on Instagram.

Bekah Martinez (seinne) (kendall) (kendall) (carolina,becca,kendall,seinne,tia) (carolina,kendall,seinne,tia) (seinne) (kendall)(seinne)(becca)(kendall) (lauren - weird attack pic on Jan 29)

Kendall Long (bekah) (seine) (bekah,jaquiline) (bekah) (carolina,bekah,seinne,tia) (carolina,becca,bekah,seinne,tia)(tia)(tia)(tia,lauren,jaquiline,becca,seinne)(bekah) (maquel,becca)(maquel,becca)(jaqueline)

Seinne (Bekah) (carolina,becca,seinne,tia) (Bekah) (bekah) (tia,chelsea), (bibiana,kendall)

Caroline (bekah,becca,seinne,tia) (bibiana,tia) (becca,tia) (becca,tia)

Tia (lauren) (bekah,caroline,kendall,seinne) (becca) (kendall) (kendall) (bibiana,carolina) (chelsea,seinne) (carolina,becca) (bibiana)

Jaquiline (Lauren) (kendall) (lauren) (kendall) (maquel) (maquel) (kendall) (kendall) (krystal)

Maquel (Jaquiline) (Lauren)

IMO looks like Bekah lied, she attacked Lauren on Instagram Jan 29th. link: instagram.com/p/Bejo0qxBMyi

Bekah, Kendall, Seinne, Carolina, Becca, and Tia are all very close and in camp Becca.

Bekah and Tia don't seem to be as close however, and it appears Tia reaches out to Lauren.

Jaquiline and Maquel are definitely in camp Lauren. So Lauren would have been fairly isolated after Jaquiline left.

For the record, by Seinne's own admission on a podcast she did, she considers herself closer to Lauren. She said that she and Becca became more friendly towards the end, but she was friends with Lauren from the very beginning and Lauren was the one she confided in. So, in the final six, that leaves Jacqueline, Seinne, and Tia all of whom were good friends with Lauren. So I just don't buy this whole "isolated" business. The girls have all said that Lauren just got super invested in Arie after her 1-on-1 with him, so she really did become that super serious, quiet person who didn't really hang out with them or have fun. So any isolation was of her own doing. And, yet, all of the girls have had her back. There is absolutely zero evidence to support any bullying. Lauren's "check out these girls wearing slippers" is probably the most condescending/mean statement that's been made and that's hardly anything. The girls got along, plain and simple. IMO.
