Bachelor 22 - Arie Luyendyk Jr - SM Media - *Sleuthing Spoilers* - #2

RS doesn't seem to know a lot about what happens this season. Like he knows the main points, but he lacks all the details.

The only social media clue I've got is probably a stretch, but Becca followed some fitspo person called @kelseywells - and as far as I can tell, the only other person that follows her is Arie's friend Kristina. Kelsey does have nearly a million followers, though, so it could just be a coincidence.

Has Arie posted any IG stories lately? He has been very quiet on twitter and he usually posts clips on show day.

His last IG pic post was 3 days ago.  He tweeted several times a day ago.  But I don't remember a new recent IG story.

ETA:  I'm still laughing at this.

I do appreciate that he seems to be the one leading the conversation into how old she is, and bringing up his fear that she is likely in a typical 20s mindset and not ready to settle down.

I'm super interested to see how Bekah handles this. She obviously gives a good enough answer that keeps her around until Paris, but I do think this episode sets an expiration date on their relationship for Arie.

I just love her own comment on this.  

Spoiler: next week I will be revealing my significant age difference, and it’s not what you think. My full name is actually Rebekah Cullen. my family would appreciate privacy during this time pic.twitter.com/CwqA2tYRDq

he has no freaking clue imo! i am sure sluethers here figured out becca was f1 before he posted it but in regards to to arie being at lauren b house he mentioned it and i am sure he said he would tell us all what he thinks it means the next day after it happened he just wanted to check with some ppl but he still hasn't posted anything? so either its to boring for him to report(imo perhaps its the closure idea) or he has no clue and his sources are not giving him much about it or on this season??

Hey guys don't know if anyone notice but before the show started Becca liked Lauren's pictures from the Lake Tahoe date. Remember they are not following each other. Also Lauren commented on Tia picture with Becca in it with "Babes." Also Becca followed Lauren Zima. Just thought these where interesting. Also because of these interactions I don't think there anything malicious into why they don't follow each other on sm, IMO. Also if Arie did visit Lauren these interactions don't say switcheroo to me. All JMO.

what did arie say? anything noticeable in there?

1- He did try to keep up with a diary while on the show
Kept a list after each RC
2- why he picked Becca for the 1st date
They conversed really well on night one
He wanted someone who would help him through that first date
She was comfortable in front of the cameras
3- Feels like an outsider in BachNation
Felt a little insecure about some not being happy with him as The Bachelor
Felt he would be judged for being unmarried and a man in his mid-30’s
(At the beginning, Ben was snarky and condescending  but Arie won him over)
Discussed the Jef shade. Jef mistreated his date at Sean’s wedding and Arie spoke up along with other producers . Jef said he chose the wrong side and ended the friendship .
4- Talked about Becka. He was shocked and thought she was in her mid-20’s. He did feel she read him well . He did feel connected to her.
5- Compared the editing with mainly kissing and leaving out great conversations to a great book yet the movie version leaves so much out.
