Bachelor 22 - Arie Luyendyk Jr - F1-F4 - Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

ABC says Virginia Beach native Lauren Burnham will “drop a bombshell” on tonight’s episode of “The Bachelor” (8 p.m., WVEC), set in coastal Peru. What kind of bombshell? The network won’t say.

Lauren B., who has struggled to find love with Arie, needs more reassurance from him. Preoccupied with thoughts of the other two women vying for Arie’s heart and scared to have her own heart broken, the guarded blond beauty has trouble enjoying the panoramic plane tour of the Nazca Lines. Back on the ground, Lauren B. drops a bombshell. That night, Arie convinces his once skeptical date of his true feelings in an extremely emotional declaration.

@Kolormiblnd very interesting . It did look by outward appearances that they reconnected as if seamlessly.  The one thing I will say about Lauren is,  this pic seemed suspicious . Dated January 1st. The night that Arie supposedly talked to her for the first time (correct me on timeline ) . She’s the only one happy about it being JanuArie and he didn’t visit her in VA yet. Was he still officially with Becca on 1/1/18?
I always felt that pic said, come and get me . She was knowingly or un, shoving it in Becca’s face . Imo

I think only Lauren was in on it, and most likely, if I am correct, only since FS. To hear RS tell it, Becca was blindsided. The depth of Caroline's anger tells me she was with a girl that was deeply hurt by the break up, just before WTA. We shall see how it all plays out, and we might never know the truth.

I have to say this theory makes me disappointed in Lauren too. How can you agree to helping crush another woman? JMO.

I am questioning though if Becca knew something of the storyboard come FD's as well.  Maybe it was as a setup for her to be the bette and that's her consolation prize for going along with the plan?

Officially he was still with Becca on this date. But per RS, this is the day he called Lauren. Did she know ahead of time that this would be the day? She seems to be happy here and that puzzled a few of us then. Why this pose and this facial expression from a girl who was supposedly dumped? JMO

So at this time, she knew she was going to fight for their love even if he was currently with Becca. Even if she knew he was going to break up with Becca, it wasn’t done yet so she too was setting up for their relationship . In VA if she shows resistance, it has to be faked because by Jan. 1st, she already showed they’d be a couple soon. Jmo

Edit: Sorry, I think this was the day Arie and Becca posted the backyard pictures.....I will check. Yes, this was posted on Monday, Becca went to her work conference in LV on Wednesday and by Saturday she was MIA. Foreshadowing?

That was January 8 when Virginia had that freak snowstorm.  Becca and Arie's backyard pictures were in December, a month earlier.
