Arie really was the worst and yet his final rose episode was the highest ranked all because he was an idiot.

Arie really was the worst and yet his final rose episode was the highest ranked all because he was an idiot. He really is an idiot. I also read that he dumped his ex two days before going on the show. I don't see him and Lauren lasting at all. I also still haven't watched part 2 of this mess, but have been reading stuff online.

I am not shocked by this at all. I wonder how she felt about all his I haven't gotten to love again since Emily blah blah blah.

Human nature makes us all slow down to see the wreck=highest ratings But I am fairly certain, Arie had no say in how he was going to break it off. Those signed agreements everyone signs are pretty much making you a reality (NO reality at all) slave to the producers. It's all about the rating$$$$

Dh said he probably did the bachelor to jump start his failing racing career.

Like when he said he couldn't ask production for her phone number. No, I'm sure they would have given it to him and filmed it. He just needed to make sure he wouldn't end up alone before he told anyone

Late watcher here.
I feel like Arie and Lauren both missed an opportunity to move out of the selfish asshole territory they are living in. I feel like they could have done a lot to save face by saying a few more empathetic things towards Becca.
Chris was trying to pull info out of Lauren bc she's such a vault. But you know this is coming. Speak with someone and figure out what might be a smart thing to say.
I think Becca helped them a bit by saying clearly we weren't right tongether, etc, etc. if I didn't know before I watched That she was going to be the bachelorette I would have known it by way she talked. Another chapter in my story, I forgive you (doubt it), I'm ready to move forward, blah, blah.
I think she will be a good bachelorette bc she has an outgoing personality without being obnoxious.

Oh and the nut punch moment of the night was during his filmed chat with Lauren and he said he was 1000% over Becca. Seriously?! Fuck you asshole.

Also the fact that she kept repeating that she was hoping he would change his mind. Bitch Also I agree about Becca being The Bachelorette. She has a great fun personality

sunnysideup was your coworker there today? Any dirt? Can she verify if this is Lauren's 3rd engagement? Why didn't the others work out? 😂 So, she said she’s been previously engaged. So at least #2. But she told me this awhile ago. She’s still not back to work. I didn’t know she was on vacation. I’ll have to ask again but in the lunch room one day she was telling a very long story about L, how she knew her (I think they worked together-or L dated her boss), and the engagement and breakup. She was telling the story because L did some shady things with the fiancé and the engagement.

so fun fact I have a close family member that was in an episode of a short lived "reality" show |rolls eyes| There was NOTHING true in the episode, nothing at all. Family member was at bar with a group of friends eating lunch, during the week, and was approached by a producer/owner. In exchange for free food and drink, all they had to do was sign this simple agreement and agree to be filmed. Sure! Then they move the group to another location in the bar. For better filming, camera angles, they were told.
Upon watching the episode where they were filmed, it turned out it was an episode centered around a double booking in a private room at a bar/restaurant on a Saturday night. A bachelorette party <----not true The basic synopsis was: Oh no, what are the owners going to do?? And the one group was drinking too much and becoming belligerent about giving up their space! <----also not true
But meanwhile in real life filming, during the week, lunchtime, the producer told family member and friends, "Pretend you are watching a close scoring sporting event and cheering for your team. In the evening, on a weekend. Cheer really loud, be boisterous, pretend the ref is making bad calls. And staff was instructed NOT to clear glasses and bottles from the tables.
So my take on Arie Lyin-dick is most likely TWO breakup episodes were filmed and lots of editing and discussion re what will generate the best ratings. And Arie had NO choice in what was going to be shown on the show. JMO

@tipsyrturvy I know reality tv is not really reality. Things are spun, edited, and manipulated to get ratings. I am sure there was some editing done to make things more dramatic and I am sure that there were some points when production had the final say.
However, Arie had a lot of control and made a lot of asshole choices on his own.
1. He chose to reach out to another woman whilst engaged to someone else. 2. He went behind productions back to reach out because if he said I am reaching out to Lauren then they would have absolutely filmed it. 3. He chose to end it with Becca only AFTER he spoke to Lauren and was certain she would take him back. Even Jason and Molly said they would have happily spoken to him about how to go about this in a private way that would have saved a lot of drama.
4. He chose to propose to a woman with so much uncertainty. It is the point of the show but there have been several bachelors that have not proposed.
5. I think this is his true character coming out as many ex’s and other people are speaking out and saying that he is a jerk, douche, etc...
TL;DR editing can only do so much.

He said on GMA yesterday that he did not have to propose when Michael asked if he did. He said that of course that is what they want, but he is not obligated to. This all after he kept saying that there was a timeline to the ending which is why he proposed. He absolutely had choices.

One thing that stuck out to me was that he said "nice to meet you" to Neil Lane. Wouldn't he have met him when he was going to propose to Emily? I thought he was runner up. Maybe I am remembering wrong.

Many of the ones that proposed when they weren’t ready have said there was enormous pressure from producers to do so. They can resist, but they have to be really strong willed and most of them aren’t or they wouldn’t have signed their lives away anyway.

Reality Steve had Courtney Robertson (winner from Ben F’s Bachelor season) on his latest Podcast and its good! I had no idea, but Courtney and Arie dated and then were close friends/fuck buddies. She spills quite a lot. She sticks up for Arie as a person and Steve just rails on him which is humorous.
According to Courtney, he was not obligated to break up with Becca on camera, and he proposed to Lauren on Tv so ABC would provide the ring.
