I don't think he ever had any intentions of taking her to the end. Her storyboard was age, and of course Tia's part to tattle tail and tattle tail wins.

I agree. I notice he did not kiss her with any real passion the last few episodes. She was cute, entertaining, and a great story line but not right for Arie and even he knew it.

I agree. I think the goodbye would have been way way worse if she was his F1. Also, age shouldn’t matter if that’s who he liked the best. Yeah he may have been run over with negative press but he’s going to get that with whoever he chooses anyway.

@Aria thanks I couldn't remember which podcast he'd said that in.

And I too expect a reunion between them down the road, you know as soon as MF gives him permission to announce a break up.  Assuming she doesn't get the Ette gig first or decide BIP and shilling was more important. .

He said age didn't matter, as long as you care for someone. I mean he should know.

Age doesn't matter to me, but they are a totally different place in their lives. it's not like she's 35 and he's 48.

That's it in nutshell GA. She definitely wasn't F1 maybe if she was older , then Becca would have went home instead.

Arie is going to say what he's suppose to say. If he said Bekah was his number one, during the epi that she had her 1;1 what else is he suppose to say.

All I can say is she better not be the 'ette.

I'm human, so I certainly could be wrong, but I think that was very definitive for a lead this early on. This is before the HTD's even occur.

Arie has said multiple times he's done his own thing.  He's not ever going to completely tow the company line because he spoiled being with Becca twice.  And already confirmed the switch with fussing about age difference in a comment.  It's a matter of time before he posts a pic with LB.

At this point, I have no problems or dislikes with/for any of the girls, he got a great group.  Arie's a whole different matter.  He will not get a pass from me for doing exactly what he's done in the past, when I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.  the old fool me fable works well here.  I'd call any other lead on it, so he's no exception simply because I liked him in the past and thought he was a good option for lead.  Boy was I wrong.  All MO.

ETA: I think I could get on board with a season of BaBy Beks. I'm just not sure I'm ready for all the frat boys.

After tonights epi, Arie liking her posts three weeks after filming, tells me Lauren was the one he wanted, no two ways about it IMHO.

Then why the heck doesn’t he just pick her? Seems he had a love story and messed it up. And sorry, I don’t believe this was TPTB or Becca was in on it. Arie plain flat out messed up. He cheated Lauren out of her happy ending to the show too. What a moron. JMO.
