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

I kid. I kid. The crazy theories out there are a pregnancy and Peter/Becca being involved. As much as I would love those, I'm guessing it's going to be lame like Lauren/Arie being engaged (because these idiots will never learn despite having two failed engagements between them) or Becca being confirmed for Bachelorette. Or it'll just be an update on how this all happened, since he said he was trying to figure that out.

Now that will be another idiot. You already been through the ringer with this season and you gonna "sign up" for another round of it. Pot meet kettle . JMO

Lauren was in the gym working out today so I doubt she’s pregnant.

If we are playing with scenarios games, how about,  Becca rejected the proposal at FRC, she and Arie agreed they would date but ok to also see other people? Then Arie decided to end  it with Becca while she thought things were going great between them? That’s why she was so hurt? This would be something that has never happened before! It would also explain why(assuming it’s true) Peter was texting her

See, I can write a story for the show!

I feel like MF owes a few of us belated paychecks from over the years.

Or baby? I kid, I kid. With RS it could be anything. His definition of "big" varies from time to time.

NGL when Arie said on the WTA last night that he wanted a wife and kids soon my crazy mind did think of that theory. TV wedding came to mind too.

Not just a TV wedding, but a TV shotgun wedding - or perhaps a TV air-to-ground missile wedding. That would definitely be a first.

Arie writing on social media calling the Bachelor out on giving him "shade"? It's not smart to "bite the hand that feeds you" especially when you are still under contract with them and they can make things look a certain way. I hope that Arie thinks about getting an agent/publicist to advise him on how to help his image. He doesn't seem to be doing himself any favors. JMO.

I’m rolling.   Lauren’s father might appreciate the military part.

I don't think that was Lauren in her IG story, but rather it was a friend. I had to do a double take, but realized it wasn't her when she turned to the side. She also tagged the friend.

Arie didn't care about contracts before when he went to visit Emily so I don't see him caring now. Imo Arie is the epitome of privilege and self-entitlement and thinks he's a special snowflake. jmo

@AllAboutLove - You are so right. Your reference to a snowflake reminds me they all eventually melt, at least at this latitude. JMO.

Not saying she is pregnant but being pregnant does not stop someone from working out. In fact, a gal I know has been posting work out pics on her IG for almost a year and definitely did not look pregnant, she was just losing weight. In a photo of her kids at Thanksgiving she mentioned "even my baby you don't see". She has now posted her ultrasound in a story and has "popped" so you can tell she is pregnant. She is still working out... she is a lifter.

Arie refers to editing (probably his tweet reply to CH and a parody CH account joke from last night) in that post. Sorry I can’t bring it here.   I really do think this is a joke between the producers and Arie and not complaining.  Just more fodder for them to drum up viewers, imo.

JMOAA--I don't think he feels he is special. He is generally pretty self deprecating. IMO He laughs at himself a lot. I think he is just doing what he feels he needs to do and hopes TPTB will go with it. In return, I think he chose his battles wisely this season, in many ways and so bought himself some flexibility when he wanted it/needed it. 
He was not sanctioned for flying to Emily and delivering his journal his first season. Others were hand slapped for a lot less. 
I hope the ending for once keeps me interested. I loved Brad 1.0's season.
