I’d like to see the screen shot of Arie’s face while he watches the proposal. I’ll be interested to hear what he says to her and to Lauren.

I want him sitting between Becca and Lauren with their families in the front row staring at him watching the proposal, the break up and the switch. They would need to have plenty of mops on hand to mop up that sweat!

Let’s do the damn thing. Just.Like.That. 

I'll be saying Hail Marys for all of you on behalf of Arie, hoping it's Airy that day or else the sweat.......

No she won’t be. I see Tia campaigning for it already and I’m sure there are others that would jump at the chance. Becca may not have any interest whatsoever but if she wants it I hope they offer it to her.

There have only been two women that had any "power" and  behaved the way they wanted to on this show: Shayne Lamas on Matt's season and Emily Maynard.

I can’t wait to see Becca slay at ATFR. Which I’m pretty sure she will. She’ll find the right balance of hurt, anger, understanding and moving on. I could see her saying I’ve been through a lot worse, this won’t keep me down. And then cue the next bachelorette announcement.

I really think on the Tuesday show Arie and Lauren will get engaged. They’ve been playing up their story so much that I feel like they want viewers to be excited and accept a proposal if it happens. Time will tell but I got a feeling

How ridiculous is that? Madly in love with Arie, accepts his proposal, crushed by his betrayal, dates 30 guys on her show & engaged again in a few short months. UnReal!

Kind of like Airy’s “journey”..... dating 30 women, narrowing it down to two, heart wrenching decision, says good bye to one woman he “ loves”, proposing to the other, a dramatic break up, goes back to the woman he dumped to date her, and now maybe a second engagement. Airy May propose to two different women in the span of four months. UnReal!

That's what I'm hoping for.

Five years between Arie's stint on Emily's season and this journey. Does this mean that Becca is no different than Arie?

Probably not when there is money involved  As we all know, love is not the main motivation of those who go on this show.

I think all the leaks since the start of the season were intentional. The strangest thing to me was the neighbors of Lauren's who just happened to notice that the black vans outside of Lauren's house were Bachelor producers. Who would know that? And they happened to see Arie. I find that more strange than anything else. Arie and the bach crew could be in my next door neighbor's house and I would be none the wiser. I think the leak is to keep us all talking all season and it has been highly successful. Maybe it lessens the blow to the viewing audience (the switch I mean). And to get us all to root for Lauren since Arie is highly infactuated with her. And to say there is nothing with Becca. I know it is working with me anway. JMO

Like I have said many times, the cast that comes out of the first show on that pedestal rarely stays there during/after the second coming. The show takes delight in a good beat down.

ETA @sparkler
I totally agree and have been saying so all season.

Can I clarify . The house where the vans were parked was a neighbor who belonged to a private FB group. Production parked there and walked across the street. That’s why when you look at the perspective of the pic, and goggle the house you’ll see that it’s not the Burnham’s house . The neighbor took the pic from their upstairs window. I think while searching for real estate pics and goggle earth, it was @mindless who said that Burnham’s were across the street and that house did match up with were Lauren was for HTDs. Why they parked at the neighbors ? Guess to make it less suspicious ? Don’t know but it can be proven by pics.

They didn't park at the neighbour's. Those big black vehicles on the drive are the neighbour's (you can see one on Google Maps as well). The ABC vehicles are the two black SUV's parked sideways on Lauren's parents' driveway. I guess the neighbour just noticed them arriving from across the street and kept checking out what's happening.
