Bachelor 22 - Arie Luyendyk Jr - SM Media - *Sleuthing Spoilers* - #4

If Becca has her own season, let’s do the damn thing will be the theme!

... she revealed exclusively to Us Weekly that during her time in the house, she made Arie a mixtape — all of her favorite songs put onto a USB. Later, she learned he listened to it with another woman. “I found out he later used it in the fantasy suite. I’m friends with Becca and she told me! She was like, ‘Oh my God we listened to your thing,’” Caroline explained. “It’s fine because he knew that we were really close, but I was kind of, like, ‘That’s a little off-sides buddy, playing my fu—ing mixtape.’”

Maybe Arie played the mixtape while having sex with Becca  (if he had sex which I won't be surprised if so).

Maybe that's what Caroline is referring to at the WTA?

This is why I can’t stand him lately. He thinks he’s funny and mocking the show and the girls. Like he’s above it all. I’m sorry but I think he’s a jerk.

Well, Arie isn't exactly off base here. I feel like the girls are trying to outdo one another on the WTA, and yes, some are auditioning for future roles on BIP/Winter Games/Ette.

Oh they are all auditioning imo but coming from Arie that's rich since he was auditioning and wanting to be the bachelor for 5 years   #potmeetkettle

Arie's not wrong at all, but it is really hypocritical coming from him given his 5-year-long audition to be the Bachelor (remember his "I found Jesus" letter on Sean's blog when they were deciding between him and Chris?) and how bitter he was about it (tweeting/instagramming about Chris being arrested, Chris/Whitney's breakup, that "enjoy the farm" comment). And, Arie, I would be nicer to these women since they're all going to be asked for a comment after your finale and you want them to like you. IMO.

I think he likes to keep multiple women happy at once. And he was doing what he could to keep Becca happy until after calling Lauren on premiere night and feeling her out, this is all allegedly. So these are the things I’d like to know about. Who knows if we’ll even get that, but when it comes to giving credit I can’t bring myself to give Arie too much.

ITA with this. Becca will be just fine.... who wants to be with someone if you know you were not his first choice? I want to know all of the above too. That will make a difference in how I feel about Arie. If he proposed to Becca bc he had to have a proposal and Lauren wasn’t an option Especially if he proposed with no intention of really making an effort in the relationship and Becca was a MOT fiancé (really sad if this is true). That would mean he was using Becca, being dishonest and had little regard for her feelings. Not qualities anyone would want in a spouse. She may have come around to being fine with the relationship ending (even if it wasn’t her idea) if Arie’s true colors are shown in the end and she didn’t like what she saw.JMO .

If Arie dumped Becca and that is what Caroline is referring to as in "You know what you did" and he is hashtagging it, sorry that is not funny at all imo. I think I have given Arie way too much benefit of the doubt already. 

I couldn't imagine Jason mocking like this or acting like Arie has. Who does that? Straight up lacking in empathy as a human being imo and like someone who is very entitled, who things his ish don't stink.

TBH, Arie sounds like he has some serious problems. And to think I once defended him  

@AllAboutLove Yeah, he really is treating this all like a joke. The lack of empathy is mind-blowing.

@Aria I am gobsmacked at Arie's gall and lack of empathy. Arie is definitely NOT Jason. jmo 

That’s pretty crummy and unfeeling to use that hashtag when it’s about you dumping her friend post-engagement, imo.

Becca seemed blindsided to me if SM is any indication. I don’t care if she signed up for a show to date a guy along with 20 something others. He told her he loved her and proposed. Is she supposed to assume he wasn’t being honest? I don’t think so, Bachelor bubble or not. It’s not as bad as when you’ve been with someone for years but how many people have their breakup filmed on national tv? Her moving on doesn’t absolve Arie of everything in my eyes but will wait and see how it plays out. I hope he shows some real empathy.

Wow. I can’t wait for next week. It’s time for Arie to be knocked down a few pegs. He’s so delusional IMO
