Bachelor 22 - Arie Luyendyk Jr - Episodes - Feb 25 (Sunday) - WTA - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

All threads are now open.

Very interesting interview by Mike Fleiss

Arie Luyendyk Jr.'s season of The Bachelor is currently airing. To borrow a Bachelor phrase, in what ways is he in it for the "right reasons"?

That line of “the right reasons” we all think is a little over-the-top, but there’s some truth in it and it's a broader casting challenge. Sometimes, you really have to question if someone is coming on The Bachelor or The Bachelorette because they do believe in it and are interested in a relationship and finding love. Or, do they just want more Instagram followers? Because that is what we ultimately do not want. Arie has taken some heat and I think, unfairly. People have criticized him for being “boring.” But the truth is that he’s really genuine and part of it is that he has no interest in the TV side of things. If it were up to him, he would just sit on a bench and talk to the women all day. To say that comes across as disinterested, I think, is unfair. He’s a really, really sweet and genuine guy.

Chris Harrison also really pumped up the ending to his season, calling it "phenomenal." What can viewers expect?

I’ve worked on the show for 10 years. The finale will be something people haven’t seen before. And even if they are reading spoilers and think they know? They don’t know.

According to this tweet by Robert Mills there is a reason the WTA is on Sunday.

es the #WomenTellAll is Sunday. There is a reason for that I can’t explain now but just wait........ #TheBachelor wrote:

Is the Finale and AFR the following Monday night, February 26th?  

It will be interesting how they choose to unveil the switcheroo.

o

That when ABC allowed it to be on best chance of beating Olympics

Did anyone think it was odd there was no video preview for the WTA last night

I think Winter Games has screwed this up a bit. I wonder if we get WTA preview Thursday after WG finale.

I'm thoroughly confused. If the WTA is on the 25th, how can the finale be on the 26th? If that is correct, what happened to the FS episode?

The WTA is on Sunday the 25. The FS epi is on Monday the 26. That is why Kendall wasn't at the WTA, she hadn't been eliminated yet. Then the FRC/AFTer is the following week on March 5.

That's what I thought. It seems someone or someones got confused and posting grew wings again.
