Wish I could enjoy the drama...but I just don’t.

I agree with you because I feel like for me to enjoy the drama then I would feel like I enjoyed seeing someone get their heart broken and made a fool of .... I'd rather have a really good lead that made me think they had found love. I don't mind the drama such as Krystal and stuff like that, but not the other drama. JMHO

Wow @sdmom - thanks for bringing over that stunning photo of Lauren. Apparently she was ramping up her SM selfies for the premiere. Smart cookie, IMO. You never know which old boyfriends/fiances might notice (or what potential new tv opportunities might come your way - including vying for The Bachelorette).

I don't see enjoying the drama as enjoying someone getting their heart broken. If it was, then the same thinking could apply to enjoying a love story at the expense of someone else getting their heart broken or made a fool of (whether F2 or something else). jmo

@sdmom Good catch!
Is it too much to ask for people to use decent grammar?

(laureneburnham: It’s finally JanuArie!!! Tune in tonight to watch mine and 28 beautiful ladies’ quests to find love on The Bachelor!)

That's OK. I'm good with that. I was just expressing how I felt. ; )

I am probably wrong, but I get the notion Arie pretty much blindsided Becca from the little digs her friends are posting on SM.
I don’t have twitter or IG so I am only going by what gets posted by the wonderful ppl on this board.

 even if don't see it the same way I still respect your view  For me I think it's a given that someone on this show will likely be heartbroken so even when I watch for a love story it doesn't mean I enjoy watching someone get their heart broken that doesn't end up with the lead. I guess for me I can enjoy a love story and some of the drama without enjoying seeing people genuinely get hurt (that's never fun or enjoyable to me)

She does seem blindsided and that fits with Arie’s MO. I really don’t think she knew he was negotiating a new contract for racing or checking in on the greener pastures .

This is from Becca’s bio at ABC:
What are your three best attributes? Loyal, honest, charismatic

Definitely not a match for Arie  
Imo

Lauren’s bio:
What are your three best attributes? I'm very open-minded, loyal and fun to be around.
(The loyal part might get her later)  

Well I'm glad Lauren considers herself open-minded.

...I also meant to add...

By Lauren’s Jan 1 IG picture and comment, my gut feeling is she and Arie had been in contact before then, and talked.  It always felt like there was a subliminal meaning behind that post.

It's kind of looking that way, isn't it? That caption does not sound like she's dreading having the season play out and watching herself get dumped at the end. Would she be using the #JanuArie hashtag if she was completely devastated about having her heart broken? Hmmm.

True @XQZME. Why is she posting something like that and none of the others?   Makes me wonder if  that’s why most of the girls stopped following her. She was flaunting something in disrespect to Becca. Wonder if she’ll be saying next....It’s FebuARIE y’all .

I do feel Arie choosing his safe choice Lauren will work out better for him. She won’t challenge him as much and I dare say, she’ll follow him throughout the race circuit by putting her career on hold. That works better for Arie to have a cheerleader by his side  IMO.
