Bachelor 22 - Arie Luyendyk Jr - General Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

He's saying you're welcome after she said thank you when she accepted the rose. Let's just say I've watched their date more than once.

You know I think what I'm enjoying most by watching Becca and Arie is that even though it's a show, that is not Becca's mindset. She's not a fangirl. I'm sure she went for the fun but she also went in with an open mind. IMO, part of Arie's attraction to her (other than her physical beauty) is that he senses her ability to be unphased and she remains true to who she is. She's humble and totally unaware of her uniqueness. He's digging it, IMO. I have no doubt he said "WOW" first time he laid eyes on her. Girl has the eyes to match Arie's and that's saying something. Whew!

Hello!

Working my way through pages and pages, to catch-up on all the news and the great sleuthing done so far.

Just thought you would like to know that I LOVE Arie. I have never seen Emily's season (on/off viewer of other seasons, proper fanatic from Des's season on ) . From being on here I know snippets about him and generally how well liked he is, well let me tell you, my expectations have been met and smashed. He is handsome, likable, awkward (in a good way!), an ADULT and did I mention he was handsome? I mean, that salt n' pepper hair?! *swoon*

@IrelandRose Nice to see you!

Anyone have a link for upcoming attractions for this Monday's show? TIA

Keep hearing that Arie's premiere was incredibly low... like 30% down which is millions of viewers. Hope he doesn't feel too bad. I think Rachels season dropped a lot of viewers and they just might not be coming back for Arie. The newscasters were talking about it and one mentioned that perhaps football was a draw but the other said "maybe people just aren't interested in Arie". Ouch!

He has been up against major College football games the past two weeks.  I know many who watched the games live and Bachelor later.  I think they affected the ratings. Plus the face there are lower ratings across the board as there are so many options any more.

I haven't watched and it had nothing to do with Arie.  Bowl games and  cheering on my team were higher priority.  

I would not be watching at all if the other guy had been chosen, but I'm playing catch up and will watch this week.  hopefully Arie holds my attention and the girls drama doesn't make me loose interest.  But if it does, I'll tune in and out like I normally do until the F4.  Though sometimes I just skip it altogether if the lead doesn't do anything for me, the drama is just too much and the season doesn't interest me.  But from what I've seen and read so far, i hold a little higher hopes for Arie and a throw back feel of a season than most recently.

For me personally i actually think Arie's season thus far is the best i have seen in a looooonng time.... IMO everyone that has tuned out because they don't like Arie are missing out BIG time! and probably those ppl will catch up after the finale ...especially if its a finale filled with drama that we have never seen before (the ex coming back at frc) ..jmo

I agree with leap of faith. I think the ratings will rise as the season progresses especially towards the end and word gets out that there is a dramatic twist to the ending IMO.

I am loving Arie's season and Arie himself. The girls are fantastic. They are beautiful and interesting and fashionable and likable. The views are pretty great even though we haven't gotten out of LA, yet. Loving it. Can't wait for  Europe.

IMO, the people who may be boycotting Arie's season out of misguided loyalty to a person who doesn't even know they're alive are very sad.
Arie doesn't need them. His season will get better every week and do well because the show and the lead are great, IMO. TOG is losing over 2K insta followers, per week. Arie is gaining at least 10K/wk. Everything will balance itself out. All the fans have to do is stay tuned and stay woke, JMO.
