Arie Luyendyk Jr - Lauren Burnham - Bachelor 22 - Discussion #3

alwaystulips wrote:@Stone_Hedge thanks!

ETA:  The only place I see Arie mentioned on the website is here:

https://adventurehunt.co/pages/ultimate-panama-experience

So, unless they took it down, I doubt that Arie was ever Adventure Hunt’s guest on the trip and this was falsely reported by the gossip rag.  JMO.

Nice find. Thanks so much for finding that as it is pretty specific as to who is going to be there....IMO

Actually not true^^^^^^
@havadrpepper found the original vid description from the sponsors themselves and not some rag magazine .

I read the whole trip description on the website when Maquel first advertised it and it was definitely Arie, Lauren and Maquel back then.

Question. Was Maquel always billed as going too, like a threesome? (Super odd, imo). Or did she literally take his spot?

@sosleepy It was all 3 initially.

IMO... I'm not defending this couple by any means, but there could be a legit reason for Arie to no longer be going on this trip. He apparently did just resurrect his racing career a bit, so that may be why he can no longer go. It was just weird as he was advertised as going originally and Lauren made no mention of being sad that Arie could no longer join them (or even why). Also, not saying she has to give all the deets of her life in a single Insta post, but it just struck as odd. IMO

He has always had this "racing" career. It is not being "resurrected". He joined this truck racing circuit when it was started in 2013 and has raced every year. Now I will say that he did not race every race every season but he has raced the majority of them. There are no races scheduled in this series for the whole month of July. Apparently he had no problem being advertised as going on this trip in March since he was promoted to be going.

You are right thought that it is odd that she does not mention being sad that Arie has had to cancel. It is just all so weird especially after the photos of them meeting with the MBC counselors that were released earlier in the week.

People have picked up signs before about other couples having problems that have lead to their splits many times. To me this is the same. All is not perfect in that little corner of Scottsdale.

Did Arie or Lauren promote the trip before or was it just Maquel? If they didn't then I guess they don't feel the need to mention that the plans have changed.

Jmo

It was this one: https://www.deseretnews.com/article/900015113/mormon-bachelor-contestant-shares-details-on-her-faith-backstage-drama-and-why-she-never-appeared-on-national-tell-all-episode.html

Thank you @mindless
“I don’t really like Arie or respect him at all..
I’m not super supportive of Arie at all, but I support Lauren”.
(Very awkward to say the least).
Wonder if she knows Jef and his stories of Arie?
This lack of respect came after she did the show unless she too expected Peter.
Red flags indeed
Jmo

Maquel makes it clear in the interview that she's a devoted Mormon, and scared of saying anything that would result in negativity towards her person. She quite literally states in the interview that we're not getting her real opinions because of all the trolls on the internet. At least she's honest about being fake. All IMO.

I'm joining those, who are guessing there might be some signs, that this relationship already has serious cracks. Arie not going to this pre-announced trip suddenly is one of them, Imo. I do think there were cracks from the start, and Imo they're doing MBC as a way way to pave the break up.

This couple has been out in the open just a few weeks, she just moved to his place, and for some odd reason he pulls out of a trip which he was announced to be going to before. Imo it doesn't look good. Imo it looks like LaurenB 1.0 flying out of Denver every chance she could before the break-up announcement. Jmo.

I don’t know if they are breaking up. I will say, meeting with MBC counselors and dropping Arie from the trip without explanation or acknowledgement is silly if they are not. IMO.

To go from begging for a televised wedding last week to counseling and separate vacations this week is odd at least. IMO.

Of course, IMO, I think #Liars don’t really think about anything, so they wouldn’t even realize the speculation they opened up. Or IMO, they are so thirsty for fame, that this is a cunning trick to get more interest in them and a possible wedding. Either way, it makes me dislike them more. JMSO.

Wonder if she had to run to the bodega on the corner real fast, left him alone and came home to him jumping out the window with some chickee in their bed?
