I almost feel bsd for Bibiana there.  They helped her set that up then I am sure sent Arie (and was that Lauren B) or whichever girl there.  Total set up IMO.

I think mprssdbyu found this video?

I can't tell if it's the same voice though.

side note: Arie's ex Sydney (@sydneystempfley) and Lauren B's ex Chris (@ccrane45) are following each other on Instagram. Coincidence?

Where oh where is Becca on social media? She hasn’t been seen or heard from since Vegas! Nothing during the show last night. It’s probably a good thing as most of these contestants couldn’t stay off that long.

Good for Becca, IMO.  It may not help show ratings, but I like that she’s not all over SM.

Becca is liking posts on SM, so, she is likely back at work. I hope she stays off SM and does not get sidetracked with all the fakeness of this franchise. I have a crush on you and your budding relationship GF, if you are here - Do your thing!!

True, but Arie could use the ratings boost. I've been listening to media reviews of the episode and they are tearing Arie apart and calling him bland, unattractive, and most dislike his kissing style. :shocked!: Good news is they like the cast of women! On one radio show a host had interviewed Arie and said it was painful because he's just doesn't have any personality. They were laughing at his conversations with contestants and how one would say "you have pretty eyes" and Arie says "you have pretty eyes" and how he always mirrors back what is said to him. He has a lot of fans on this board but he is getting skewered everywhere else.

I hate they are giving him this edit but on the other hand, when the season is over he wants to go back to his life before TB with the one he chose. In the meantime, I get to watch his story unfold. In other words, let them scream "yuck" to the top of their lungs. I'm on board and loving it!

Exactly. He isn't going to Hollywood after this, he is going back to Scottsdale and real estate. I don't think he really cares about social media followers, ratings etc. He gave them a show. It's production's job to edit it, promote it and market it. If he ends up with a girl at the end that's a bonus.

Thanks for putting it in perspective.  Arie is not doing this to become an actor or entertainer, have a podcast or sell stuff on line knowing just what charming and witty thing to say at every moment.

His blog is up and I understand exactly what he is trying to do.  I worry that he is getting the Bob Guiney edit and is thought of nothing more than a slobbering kisser with no ability to converse or be introspective.  The show is editing him to be callous about letting women go.

I think that as the season progresses and he is left with the women he is truly interested in the love story will emerge and it will be less about kissing (although I think that is he how he shows love and interest - by being physically affectionate) and more about connection and who he wants to end up with.

I just listened to EW podcast with Julia Cunningham and Millsy admits Ep 5 is a turning point for Krystal. He said it was a group date that pitted one side against the other..and Krystal comes unglued!!!! I think he lets the losing team stay and she's not happy. Hmmm, does her journey end Ep. 5? He left the impression she may be the guilty #NotPeter voice!

ETA: He didn't say she was sent home but I got the impression he was enjoying the anticipation of watching her impending meltdown on Ep 5.
