You gotta admit, they do look cute together.

To each his own I suppose. It’s never been about how they look. It’s been mostly about how they act entitled, whiny and disingenuous imo. It reminds me of the saying ,
None are so empty as those who are full of themselves.

Meh. Nobody is perfect. I think many of the Bach alumn have stuck their foot in their mouth a time or two. When someone is in the public eye, people are scrutinizing their every move. I, for one, am happy I live a private life and don't have millions of people waiting to jump on me on SM on a daily basis. Jmo

Thank you. I’m exercising that prerogative to scrutinize them because they’ve put themselves in the public’s eye.

My friend was coming in from Cancun. I think there were in Mexico as well for something to do with BIP.

. Looks like this person on twitter saw them too in Mexico (and got a sneaky photo). She said in previous tweet she is staying at same resort where BIP is filming. https://mobile.twitter.com/hawkeygirl95/status/1006576276277202946/photo/1

And Ben.  

I don't think Arie and Lauren have much choice in the matter regarding appearances.  Remember what Millsy said a few weeks ago about never being able to leave the Bachelor family.  

This couple does more than just put their foot in their mouths so they are as deserving of scrutiny as any other contestant or couple from this franchise, IMO. Viewers just choose to give some a pass and crucify others based on personal preferences. These two say one thing and do another over and over and there is always choice, IMO. Nobody forces them to go to Mexico and film BIP. They just can't stay out of the spotlight.

Oh come on, if they don’t want to show up, they don’t have to show up. They aren’t that popular or vital to TPTB to “force their hand.” Just like Ben H. next to them, they are addicted to the notoriety. They are there cause they loooooove it, they can’t get enough of it. The Bachelor defines them.

Maybe Lauren and Arie are the Bartenders this season!

Cause ya know those two are people I'd really want to take relationship and love advice from.  

Not that I have plans to really watch or get invested in BIP, but I'll certainly be skipping or FF threw them and Benji.  #nothanks #nottheleastbitinterested

Copy of an old contract. Contract
Page seven item B:
States for 12 months following ATFR they agree to be available for blah blah blah. It’s there in black and white.

Key word is available. It's easy not to be available if a person really doesn't want to do something. Last I checked slavery and kidnapping are against the law so nobody forced them against their will to film BIP, IMO. Although it might give Arie another opportunity to film a slow mo creepy IG of Lauren blowing on a dandelion. WTF
