Arie Jr & Lauren Luyendyk - Bachelor 22 - Discussion #5

Easy to see things both ways imo. I still remember CH not tagging Libby in an F2 pic and even though she tried to call him out on it, he ignored . Maybe he doesn’t care for the girl and still continues to be cryptic . Jmho

I do find this cryptic...
My only advice would be, like, make sure it makes you happy and make sure it's not changing who you really are."

IMO CH should follow his own advice.

While it’s true that advice is easier to give than to take , I do find it telling that he gave this specific advice. We often say we don’t know these people but in CH’s sense, he does. He probably knows the full disclosure of how things transpired and sees more than what’s happened beyond staged IG pics. His opinion and take has a different spin than any of us, like him or not. I just found this interesting. Again, Jmho.

Yeah, I just find him a puppet mouthpiece and azzwipe. Jmo btw, my opinion of him has been consistent for years, nothing new.

I tend to agree with CH on this one. While I think they will get married, IMO it is more of a we will show everyone vs. these are soulmates....well, maybe soulmates in mutual hell, but time will reveal all.

I find CH's comments very interesting. Coming from someone who has stuck up for both of them, several times. I've seen vids after filming talking about how happy they are, then later, they bought a house, and fans should be happy about that.

Now this? I'm wondering if it's because Aire said they would televise the wedding if it fit their timing. When they announced the wedding and it wasn't televised, I mentioned somewhere around here, IMHO it didn't fit with Arie and Lauren's timing so they went ahead and did their own thing.

CH is now warning to make sure it doesn't change them? That's quite laughable actually and sounds like he's not happy about something. He's not going to officiate? How is selling their wedding going to change them? There have been previous bach wedding's sold to tabloids. I didn't see any change in any of them, just because they sold pictures.

@GuardianAngel I have no idea why CH said what he said, but I get the impression that for some reason he does not like this couple and maybe Lauren in particular since he has ignored her attempts to get him to tag her several times. Does he think she is/was acting to get to Arie? Does he think Arie is changing who he is to appease her and redeem himself? Oh to be a fly on the wall!

I was skimming through Reddit last night and I see a Libby change. She used to keep Libby on another website that was discovered. Her regular IG was basic modeling poses while her Libby site was more seductive . Now on her IG , Libby poses abound. I think she fancies herself a diva or has CHANGED into one. Or, it could just be the “Mexican food”  The dime a dozen type imo. At least she knows she has a resting beach face.

CH is a weasel. Always has been and always will be.

True, but so is Arie IMO so it's potato/potatoe.

And Libby is like Victor/Victoria

I also find it an odd comment ... unless

The show has IMO an irrevocable right to film and air (or not air) a wedding which occurs within 2 years of the final episode, so the notion that Arie and Lauren are trying to sell rights to their wedding is only feasible if the show has released them from that contract clause - otherwise they can't sell something they don't have. If that is the case then the advice "make sure it makes you happy and make sure it's not changing who you really are" is actually friendly advice. Given that the show has (IMO) exploited in some way just about everyone who has gotten a TV wedding (IIRC Ryan was displeased with how his bachelor party was handled and I don't really believe that the "consummation countdown" clock was representative of who Sean and Catherine really are) a TV wedding is more just another opportunity to create drama and controversy when none is needed - or desired - by a couple - and that may be exactly what CH is trying to say here. I would say something similar.
