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

JMO

And then let me add: 
MF would definitely be one of the very first I would entrust with intimate news like this. NOT. I can't see it.

JMO

Yeah agree. MF can get pretty political sometimes.

Not to mention that the last big announcement he made concerning Ette was that hot tubs were returning this season, I wouldn't be holding out hope for anything too serious.

Could it be a wedding?  Sure.  But IMO MF is having fun at Arie's expense just like he does with every other lead.  I can't see why he'd give a wedding to the Bach with such lowest ratings a wedding over and of the Ettes currently engaged who were all more loved and had higher ratings.

I see nothing wrong with that.

Some F2's play with SM to lead other's to believe they were in fact the F1. She stayed pretty quiet IMHO, moving back to her parents house and laying low. If I'm not myself, I don't want to see or talk to anyone.

Disguising herself after she came back from filming, just tells me she has an overly inflated sense of self and thinks she's more important than she actually is.* Fixed your first sentence

Honestly I just think these two suck so it doesn't matter what they do my reaction is always pretty much gonna be "Ugh"

Just wanted to report that Lauren just posted an instapic of the two of them and the caption reads: Lucky girl. All is good in Larie land.

I'm not one who thinks they're on the verge of breaking up at the moment but I've been around this bachelor block too many times to think a happy couple pic on SM means the couple is actually happy. Jmo.

When Arie isn't happy his face shows it, he's not good at hiding his emotions. Same for Lauren, she shuts down. If they were good at faking I'd agree with you, but happy couple pics with these two mean they are genuinely happy.   All IMO.

I think when you couple both of these together, IMO it could have a lot to do with Arie and Lauren and possibly their televised wedding:

Major news coming soon for all #TheBachelor fans ...

After careful consideration, I have decided to pardon Arie Jr.#TheBachelor

— Mike Fleiss (@fleissmeister) April 13, 2018

He is pardoning Arie?     I am hearing the wedding march as I type this.  

LOL, so am I. I just don't see how these may not be connected, IMO.

Yeah...this is the girl that wore a wig so she wouldn't get recognized in her hometown. That seems to imply some degree of social anxiety and now she's willingly going to be the center of attention for a whole trip, in front of 50 people? Strange. Lauren is still such an enigma to me. Can't figure the girl out. IMO.

As far as her wearing a wig, I know the report came from her mom, but on the other hand, in your hometown and knowing the spoiler is out there that you didn't win....would you want all the notariety or wouldn't you want to just be incognito and try to carry about your daily activities especially to avoid all the questions....I am sure as a shy person she just might. IMO. As far as the trip goes, IMO the key phrase is that she's doing it as part of a promo, she's doing it as part of what she signed up for and becoming known. IMO, it's a part of her now living her life, without all the pressures, etc.....she is obviously happy and so is Arie, IMO

sanlee088 wrote:I know this is not good news to some, but Arie posted an instastory and instapics of the two of them at the racetrack, so I guess things are still good.

I am loving it....thanks so much for the info @sanlee088!

So true.....she just wanted to live her life IMO without all the questions, looks and carrying on. I am impressed with how quiet both of them are on SM in general compared to so many other couples in the past.IMO

Mommyof2 wrote:MF seems to keep bringing Arie up lately.  Retweeting a photo of L&A on Twitter, asking the public if Arie is the worst Bachelor evah, aka...putting the feelers out there.  Now, he is teasing a big announcement and pardoning Arie?    It doesn't take much to put two and two together.     Of course, all imo.  

I am thinking that there could be wedding bells around the corner and am looking forward to it. I like this couple but in no way am I fanning on them but that's just me. Just want to see happy couples from this franchise that actually make it vs the ones that fake it then split so soon after. I am glad that this couple is following their hearts! All IMO

I agree, Arie isn't good at faking his emotions. When he's happy as he is with Lauren, it's written all over his face. She's really the only one I really saw that with and she's the only one through the season that I saw him making tracks for and making allowances for in filming. all IMO

Funny how as soon as questions come up about the status of their relationship on SM or in this forum and no doubt others, there is reply. Someone seems to care about perceptions...regardless of what they say...IMO.

Very true.


IMHO there are cracks in this relationship. IMHO Lauren putting on her pink rosey glasses and ignoring Arie's actions these past 2-3 months will come back to bite them in the behind. Him leading other women on while pursuing Lauren, DM'ing other women etc might be easy to ignore for a while, but it's all so public and out there, that she will have to face it. Jmo.
