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

MiniDiva wrote:Why Arie Might Be the Refresh The Bachelor Franchise Needs

Great E-News article, IMO.    

. . . .  In the era of SugarBearHair vitamins and endless staged-to-look-unstaged photoshoots being a rite of passage for Bachelor contestants, Arie's uncurated feed of race car photos and poorly lit selfies is downright refreshing. (Since the announcement, Arie has gained 46k followers, bringing his total to 114k.) , , , ,

It is a nice article but it does contain at least a quasi-error. Instagram was, in fact, already being used at the time of Arie's season. Who can forget the sleuthing we did around that photo Arie posted on IG from the air that we (led by Lav) figured out was over Charlotte which led to our speculating - accurately, I might add - that he had gone to visit Emily post-filming.

Anyway, I am looking forward to seeing Arie as the bachelor and hopefully falling in love with someone who will love him back and choose him too 

I agree that it is difficult seeing the chemistry and connection they had to understand how she did not choose him. But it is no wonder that so many of us were convinced that somehow she had done a switcheroo after filming and was going to end up with him. I sincerely hope that she the kind of love for and connection with her husband that she described having with Arie in the video.

Oh docnash - good times indeed. But with Arie as lead - even better. We won't have to wait for him to have a 1 on 1 !

Thanks @nikikass  It feels like old times, this season is going to be fun!  

I am at peak levels of interest for this upcoming season because Arie said in this interview he just wants to find his own Khaleesi! He's like Jon Snow after years of seasons finally making it to become the lead and find his own mother of dragons and queen.

"Khaleesi" I'm such a nerd  https://t.co/Q0piNA4yqv

Paging @coolangel just for the Khaleesi quote by Arie

SOLD! I am a fan now. Guy clearly has good taste IMO. I need to find my way to Arie's fan forum now.

I am really excited about this season. He seems to have a good personality and a good sense of humor IMO. I hope TPTB put up Emily's season on the app like Millsy said. It'll help to bring over new viewers who might not be familiar with Arie and hence might be on the fence about his season.

All JMO

Lol  I don't even know who Khaleesi is and I want Arie to find her!  

He's such a breath of fresh air on this franchise.

Best part of the entire BIP 4 season was the 10 sec promo of Arie as TB tonight!! Hearts with be racing! Lol

Just bumping it again as I missed it the first time. This video brings back such memories of their journey. I so remember...Emily's PI..."Good Lord, he's hot!" Yes, he is Emily, yes he is and what's even better when he finds the right one, his heart is even bigger. Please bring on the right girlies! It could be a season for the record books if that happens. Good Luck Arie!

@alwaystulips, Haha! She is one of the lead characters in Game of Thrones and is portrayed by the awesome woman in my display pic.  

@MiaHawk, IA that the TB promo inspite of being short was good. I hope they go for a fun dynamic this season instead of the 'heartbroken' bachelor angle. I get that that storyline is more compelling when the Bachelor is from the last season but since it's been a few years since Arie's season, I hope they go for a fun season this time. That promo is giving me hope.
