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

Couple of thoughts:

* Lauren "won". Not sure the prize is all that great but to the victor go the spoils.

* Strike while the iron is hot. If airlines and hotels are willing to front you a free vacation, free clothes, free whatever, who among us would turn that down. If you can capitalize on your 15 minutes of fame and it isn't hurting anyone else, do it.

* IMO, Lauren is the kind of woman who can flourish by making their spouse the center of their life and take a back seat to their needs and I think that might be the biggest difference between the F2s. Not a criticism, in fact there have been times when I wished I had that trait, but its not necessarily an equal partnership. Not all marriages are.

* I found Lauren boring but Arie doesn't and, in the end, that's all that matters. Only time will tell, but in the meantime, I'm willing to cut them some slack, let them show-off their affection, and make $$ where $$ can be made.

Thinking about it I remember Bekah acting rather weird when Lauren went on her first 1 on 1.

I think that it is more likely that Lauren distanced herself because of her feelings for Arie and not because of hostility.

I think Bekah's response in that video is a lot creepy, I'd say she genuinely dislikes Lauren.

I can't like this post enough! I really like how you worded #3...that's how I see it too and there's nothing wrong with it. As Juan Pablo would say: "it's okay!"

I agree with a lot of it, too. If they are happy, it's no skin off my back. Let them be happy. In fact, the world needs more happiness. (I hope me listing this is fact is not offensive to anyone, I hope everyone wants more happiness in the world)
IMO if more people were happy, they would not be trying to make the rest of us miserable. giggling

I dunno, she was pretty feisty at their AFTR.

I feel like even if the edit hides your personality, ATFR, interviews, and social media will help show your personality. We've seen that time and time again, with people like Sean, Emily, OG Lauren B, Bryan, etc. I've personally seen zero personality with Lauren in any of those forums. Krystal said in a podcast that Lauren said about 50 words the whole time she was there, Bekah/Kendall said she really shut down in front of cameras, and Seinne said that she got super serious and quiet after her 1-on-1. So I don't think it was editing. I think it was just...her. IMO.

And, Maquel probably isn't bland. She's got quite the scandalous history for a 23-y/o. The girl wasn't allowed to come to WTA, probably because of her racist comments/actions, and defended her actions by saying "I've never said I was racist!". I just don't think it's particularly great that this was the girl Lauren was closest to in the house. Then again, Lauren's the girl that said "omg we look like lesbians!" (Paraphrasing), so it makes sense that these two would connect.

All, IMO. .

Lauren didn't stand out to me on the show, but based on her behavior and statements afterwards on social media, in interviews, and during television appearances, I don't get the impression that she's particularly nice to other girls or particularly bright. I wouldn't be surprised if Maquel was her best friend in the house because, IMO, they both come across as dumb and mean.

Arie described Lauren as sweet on their LCD and he may have said it more than once, but I don't have time to go back and watch it again. laugh out loud

. I think the girls really didn't have a problem with Lauren as she seemed to stay out of the drama. I read somewhere that she is not the type to gossip, so I highly doubt that she is a "mean girl." Jmho.

If Lauren was “mean” to the others, someone please alert Caroline because despite being Becca’s biggest cheerleader, she’s also repeatedly defended Lauren and told some troll that Lauren’s a “nice girl”. Unless Caroline’s a liar? laugh out loud

As for “dumb”, yeah, I don’t think so at all but that’s JMO and of course everyone’s free to interpret things however they want. yes
