JMO

Which I am pretty sure the doggy party was all Lauren's idea.  I don't think a 36 year-old man came up with this idea himself.  .  I get the feeling Lauren wears the pants in that relationship and Arie says, "Yes dear.  Whatever you want dear."  . Just a hunch.    Jmo

ETA: He went shoe shopping with her at 9 PM last night.  Now, that's love!  I can't even get my DH to go shopping with me.   .

WTH needs to go shoe shopping at 9PM? Seriously? Was it a shoe emergency? She broke her last pair? Ridiculous.

Isn't that past Arie's bedtime anyway?

I was rolling my eyes so hard at that dog party. Total PR move IMO. "What can we do to make people like us more? Oh I know, let's parade our pups around and strangers' pups too! The more pups the more adorable people will think we are." Barf. JMOAA.

Just another thing they p*ss me off about!

As if they haven't screwed Becca enough already, IMO now they are trying to steal her thunder.

Even if it is ABC timing, they could have said no....you know, just because of how everything went down...but, not these two class acts.  

Isn't it completely possible that this is all about ABC timing and NOT from Arie/Lauren. Therefore IMO it is ABC's fault and not Lauren and Arie's fault. Just because Lauren and Arie would like a televised wedding doesn't mean that they are in control of the timing, IMO

@Aunties_Love IA.  If this is an ABC booked media spot, Arie and Lauren have zero control over when it happens, IMO.

I am thinking that they may be getting their own wedding show prior to either BIP or the next season of Bachelor. In any case, I love seeing them on the tv obviously showing how happy and in love they are, IMO.

*edited* I really doubt that Arie and/or Lauren called up The View asking to be on the show tomorrow so they could steal Becca's thunder.  I really doubt that they want to be on the stupid show.  Like who in their right mind would want to be drilled by a group of women who love to talk nonsense over each other?  It's been my understanding that the lead and the chosen one are pretty much under the control of TPTB for a year and that is part of the initial contract.

It won't be long until you see RE laying somewhere with his tongue hanging out.. Libby will wear his old a$$ out pretty soon. NO way he will be able to keep up with this young kid. lololol


Also as far as their dogs go if they loved them so much they would stay home and spend more time with them... Talk about absent parenting.......JMHOAA

Agree and not for me either !

Jason/Molly said that they were told it was their decision whether they wanted to do press after the show. We've seen couples like Brad/Emily and Ben/Courtney not do anything afterwards. So I'm doubtful that they were "forced" to do it 3 months after the finale. The two clearly, IMO, love the attention. That said, I agree that they didn't set up the date and show themselves and they're not trying to steal Becca's thunder. And, like I said, I think this will be great! Last time, they accidentally admitted to that whole cheating thing! Who knows what they'll spill this time.

For the record, I doubt their "haterz" are consumed by these two. They're just ridiculous people and it's fun to make fun of them and follow their crazy drama. And that's what reality TV is all about, IMO!

It doesn't matter who liked Arie before the show and who doesn't like him after the show. No need to call out any members who may have felt differently then they do now. Everyone is entitled to change their opinions.

I understand some people don't like to post negative opinions on contestants, but there are some who post their opinions that just so happen to be negative or snark.

This is a general discussion thread. Since the rules state that all opinions are welcomed, and we can voice our opinions, those types of posts are welcomed.

What's not welcomed is telling other members what to post and how they shouldn't post anything negative. If they want to, they can, and they should.

Emoji's are to be used to correspond with opinions, and not used a snark towards member's posts. When quoting a post if we feel the over use of emoji's is a direct method of snarking the post will be deleted.

The multi quote is used when one wants to respond to a few posts. The limit is 3 multi quotes. In future if there are lengthy multi quotes the post will be deleted. We cannot spend time reading a post almost the length of a whole thread. Plus I doubt many members will either.

Please use the "multi quote" when replying to more than one quote. When reading posts, if you feel you will want to respond to that post, but have not finished catching up on posts, click "multi quote" Maximum three times. When you are done, click "Post Reply" at the bottom of the reply box. All the posts will copy to your reply box. Insert your comments after the [/ quote] under the first post.

Etiquette

This is Arie and Lauren's thread. Please stay on topic and leave this season of the Bachelorette out of it.

TYIA.

Arie put up an IG story saying they're making a big announcement today. Seems like we might actually be getting that televised TV trainwreck wedding!
