We already have them in another couple it would be hard to break their record . JMO

It pains me to say that, but my beloved Nick was on B’ette x2, BIP, the Bach, DWTS... way more times than Arie.... we shall see...

I hope they are happy and healthy. That's about it. Just like any other cast person. May they grow in a positive direction and learn from their past. (as we all should). JMO

Building a nest egg for their children....isn't that like a cash grab??

Since you said that it was trista/ryan cause it was 10 yrs later, then what about sean/catherine, jade/tanner, and others that went on it very soon after finishing their seasons??

Yeah, of course it was a cash grab. But, like I stated, JMO that established couples like T/R, and Ashley and JP come off much better in these settings. New couples like Jade/Tanner and JuanPab/Nikki and even SeanCat who were a couple years old at that point ... not so much. Established relationships know each other, have that foundation, and don’t risk so much just for such an obvious cash grab. In theory Arie shouldn’t need the money, and he has hypotctitally mocked others for taking advantage of such opportunities. So why expoloit the baby relationship just for a few thousand? It’s all for attention, imo 

So much for lying low and staying off social media.  #oppositeday

This!

IMO, couples with a few years under their belt have built up the trust and security in their relationship that allows them to explore its weaknesses without imploding.  Newer couples IMO, say under the one year mark, don't have that longevity to fall back on and exposing their underbelly can take a nasty and unexpected turn.  IMO, it's a big risk for too small a $$ reward.

Lauren never made fun of shilling, and if they go on any shows it's likely because Lauren wants to and is excited to make easy money. JMO.

Wel, I don't know for a fact if she has or hasn't made fun of shilling.  I do know for a fact he has openly made multiple snide comments on SM aobut other's shilling.  That is what I was discussing.

I highly doubt Lauren had to twist his arm much or force him to do it,  And IMO even if it's because she wanted to it doesn't excuse his hypocritical behavior after all the snarky, snide comments about others shilling, not to mention he's a walking billboard of sponsors when he races.

Agreed, plus I think Lauren likes the spotlight and wants to be on TV again.  Jmo. Btw, is this protocol for Bach couples to go on MBC?

There are quite a few I like, but I wouldn't say fan. I don't think I would go to see anyone or ask for a selfie etc if I saw someone. 
I don't follow up on anything intentionally outside of this forum after they are off the show.  I simply don't care. 
About the closest I got to fanning a cast person was from Survivor and that was many years ago.
