Taking Becca to his room seemed significant to me....an intimate gesture. I get the impression that so much more goes on in their conversations that we don’t see. I know that’s true with everybody but I especially think that with Becca.

Ita! It can’t be all about. , I have so many questions and then straight to kissing . I’m also noticing that Arie’s s shtick is he likes the women’s legs on his lap. I laughed when Becca said because of the Krystal drama, she didn’t get a chance to shower and shave her legs. Then Arie grabs to lift them

@Stone_Hedge I missed that comment about shaving her legs - too funny. Low maintenance gal - I love it. And so the opposite of Krystal!

Krystal IMO is a product of what has been working for her. On the show Arie validates her behavior so she continues because it’s paying off like it’s probably paid off in her past. I find her voice annoying but my biggest qualm is things she says that give me the impression that she lives by a double standard - if she does something/is a particular way it’s worthy; if someone else does the same/is the same it or they are somehow lesser in her eyes. Off kilter.  
Also, I don’t consider her to be a villain rather just someone the others have to tolerate because they’re temporarily stuck with her.

Didn't he also take Lauren somewhere? It sounded like he said come here and than he was walking her somewhere. Maybe also to his room??! Lol!!

Seemed it was a lobby of sorts with Lauren. Becca was waiting in the hallway by his room. He said he wanted to do something special for Becca.

There is a lot of dirt out there on a lot of the cast.
RS is not the only person who hears things. There are some horrible things people hear in sleuthing these cast. That does not mean we all indiscriminately spill because we can.  There are a lot of things that go unsaid because it common human decency.  Those are 3 words I don't think the person in question understands. Common human decency. And IMO I can't prove it, but I bet he knows a lot more cr*p on a lot of cast equally as touchy that he has chosen to keep his lip zipped.

I totally agree. Been there, done that.  I think many of us have.  The difference is that RS has always been deeply envious of Arie (and his family, racing, money, travel, lifestyle, sense of humor, looks, real estate success, ability to always attract beautiful women , whatever).   Many of us have seen this resentment go on for YEARS. I'd think he would have gotten over it by now, considering that Arie is not impacting his life in any personal way, but hey- that's just my opinion.

I think of it a bit differently.  Neither is behaving well.  Yes, we can argue degrees of bad behavior and RS would win/lose by a landslide.  That to me doesn't excuse Arie's behavior.   I followed him a bit post Emily's season and usually gave him the benefit of the doubt.  Now I just see him and his behavior differently.  He is 36.  As has been pointed out, he's probably been dating for at least 20 years.  IHe called himself decisive.  He said he knew how to make quick decisions because of his racing skills.

I'm not a fan of Lauren B.  She didn't initially impress me and things I have seen/read since the season began confirm my initial assessment.  BUT, it's his choice.  If he had chosen her at the FRC, I'd say meh, and move on.  I absolutely hate the way this has transpired.  I realize having been an early Becca fan adds to my annoyance.  

I am beyond disappointed in this season.  I was surprised but happy when Arie was announced as TB.  I felt we could see a grown up Arie, and since he has a spectacular cast, all would be well.  Instead he is just another bad bachelor.  C'est la vie.

Also Producers wanted to keep her around because she gets the other girls up in arms and the way she narrates her pov equates to ratings. If she was let go earlier , these girls would just be sitting nicely and waiting for their turn like a brothel .

Oh yeah, that's right. He did say that.

LOL , I was thinking of when the girls all sit around waiting to be chosen . No cattiness . Just patiently waiting . Maybe bad choice of analogy, but without Krystal, the whole dynamic changes in a group setting. Imo.

All the girls seem to actually get along well during filming, excluding Krystal, of course. We saw Lauren and Becca sitting close together last night when Becca made the comment about not shaving her legs. So why didn't Becca and Lauren follow each other after filming wrapped?
