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

Mommyof2 wrote:I still would like to know how Lauren was shady in her SM postings during the breakup?    Anyone?  Bueller??  Anyone??  

Well, for one she posted a little racing hint on January 8th - racing emojis. His relationship with Becca ended what day? I think right around then, if not that very day. Arie’s relationship with #1 wasn’t even cold yet, and here is #2 figuratively peeing all over him via her SM marking her claim.. After that, she doesn’t even try to hide it. A million pictutes with Arie as the season is airing. I get she’s “in love” and happy, and I’m not begrudging her that. But... given the circumstances a little decorum would be appreciated. It just rubs me personally the wrong way, and that’s probably not how I would have handled things. Also her “shaking off the haters” post bugs me. She just seems snotty to me.

Also, because you made me dig through her IG, I noticed she’s a Pats fan. So... I need to personally add that to @stuckinsc ‘s extensive list.   I don’t fan Patriots fans.   (I kid, I kid! Mostly.)

Meh. Imo, she was excited he asked her for another chance. I can't fault her there. I only see 17 posts from January 1st until the finale and some are not even of Arie. I would hardly call that a million posts. Was she supposed to be absent on SM during the time the show was airing? It is my understanding that the contestants are to promote the show on their SM pages. As for the shaking off the haters post, she posted that right before the finale. She knew what was coming and yes, I do think it bothered her to know that in a few days, these two would have a tremendous amount of hate sent their direction...and it still isn't over. Jmo.

Here, I will agree wholeheartedly with you!

I understand that negative posts are just as welcome here as positive ones. I just feel bad for this couple as I have for others from this franchise that not only are dealing with the odds of it even working out but to also have to deal with the overwhelming pressure of negativity on top of it is mind boggling. To ME, it's a supreme shame that as in past seasons, this couple too is wished ill will and now is dealing with that pressure as well.

As my gramma use to say, it takes far more energy to stay mad and feel ill will towards something or someone as it does to remain positive. Guess I am just trying to conserve my energy.... All IMO

What?! That's the only likeable thing about her imo

I have absolutely no idea myself. The only thing from her that I saw was positivity and just being happy....

It's not as bad as some might think. I used to work with an engineer for Ford Motor Company and his favorite saying was "In God we trust - everyone else - bring data" - so I decided to mine a little bit of IG data on negativity just to see what the data looked like. The IG post I analyzed was the one with Lauren and Arie sitting on the edge of a balcony in Barcelona.

At the time I took a snapshot of the comments, there were approximately 721 comments.
Of the 721 comments, approximately 28 were negative or very negative - that's 3.88%
Of the 721 comments, approximately 693 were positive or neutral - that's 96.11%
Of the 693 positive or neutral comments, approximately 132 were very positive - that's 18.3%
Positive comments outweighed negative comments by approximately 4.7 to 1

Based on a couple of the negative comments still there I don't think anyone is "cleaning up" comments because if they were, they would certainly have deleted some that I saw - one of them I wouldn't repeat even as example of what not to do - there's enough hate in this world without someone spreading it over a stupid TV show.
JMHO

I feel like we are spinning in circles on this thread.
People shouldn’t have to be asked to provide evidence as to why they don’t like this couple, jmo.
Some like them, some don’t, and some can care less.
In past seasons, I thought the fan coupling was mostly kept to the fan forum?

AWWWW AT - the Eagles got back at NE in SB 2018.

To keep on topic, I didn't care for RE back in Em's season, basically because Em was blindsided by his former relationship with Cassie. TPTB kept that a secret so that they could use their tricks on her. Just like they will with the current 'ette.

I don't really care if people like them or not. My question was based on the assumption that Lauren was being disrespectful with her SM postings. I just don't see where she was shady at all. Jmo.

That video of Arie and Lauren making fun the people at the gym in Barcelona wasn’t cool. *IMO*
