Arie Luyendyk Jr - Lauren Burnham - Bachelor 22 - Discussion #4

Me too.

I think the cluelessness is what fascinates me the most. I don't (want to) think there is anything deliberately malicious behind any of their actions...Arie and Lauren just have a laser-like focus on their most immediate want or desire. Anyone else, any other commitments or priorities, or someone else's feelings, etc... cease to exist or matter. And while I do agree that looking out for oneself is important in adulthood, it isn't to the exclusion of all else. People do need to honor their commitments, be respectful of others, etc...

I don't wish them ill will. Definitely, don't want them to break-up. And I willingly admit that I'm curious as to what kind of interviews and articles will we get from Arie and Lauren down the road. In Bachelor updates and "where are they now" segments. Will we see signs of self-awareness and maturity? Hopefully!

All IMO.

Thanks for posting this fact: the event was rescheduled and is sold out. I'm all for a little righteous indignation when it's called for, but IMHO it isn't warranted in this case.

It's tough for me to be angry when Arie and Lauren told the truth about the rescheduling. I guess those paying to attend the event felt the same IMHO.

Yes, IMO, they probably got paid by that app to promote it and the tropical vacation was probably comped as well. So, in their world, it's perfectly fine for them to make $$, extend their vacation, AND treat treat their Canadian fans like expendables because, hey, those silly fans will STILL sell out the venue and STILL pay $$ to come see them. Greedy and self-involved through and through. IMO.

Posting this for context because I know sometimes it can seem as if people are picking on Arie & Lauren for no reason. Just saw this on my timeline. Barstool posted a video mocking someone at the gym and someone responded blasting them for it.

This ******** sucks. This person is in the gym, putting the work in, feeling good enough about themselves to take a photo of their development and you’re mocking them? **** you. https://t.co/3z6RJTNRdr

104k retweets, 437k likes. & most of the replies on barstool's original tweet are people criticizing them for it. It's wrong no matter who does it.

Are you not doing the same thing as Arie and Lauren did ? I would of never seen this if it was not posted here. I do agree that nobody should be mocked for whatever they are doing but IMO this is not right. JMO

I posted a video of total strangers going about their business trying to better their lives with the specific intention of mocking them to my hundreds of thousands of followers?

^^^
We will just have to disagree on this one !

Here we go again...

People beat all kinds of dead horses on here. Literally going back years, even a decade. This is from a few months ago . If I find one annoying, I simply don't contribute.

Yeah I think we've talked about that stupid video enough, don't worry they will do something else soon that will get us all talking again

ITA with everything. They both look to me as though they are from the same class, middle class. We saw Lauren's parent's house, they don't look like poor people to me.

I also think that at times you should be selfish unless it is a matter of life, death, health or hurtful to someone.

IMO, the fans are not going to die, get hurt, or get sick because the show has been rescheduled. JMO

The show has been rescheduled and it is sold out so, I quess their fans were not that upset. JMO

Seems that non-fans were more upset than actual fans then. JMO

Maybe they should have lied about it? Maybe that would have been better. Who knows.
