So the final rose episode was Monday night on Arie Luyendyk Jr’s season. When the season started, I wrote a post on Arie Luyendyk Season. And like other seasons; Reality Steve was already posting the winner before the season started.
Arie Luyendyk Jr.
Although Arie comes across as much more serious than the other Bachelors; it seemed like he was hoping to end his journey for love with a proposal.
However, I’ve found this season a little confusing. For instance, Arie would say one thing, yet do another. When he was on a date with Lauren, he said, “if she didn’t open up, he was going to say good-bye”.
Also, Arie seems to passionately kiss every Woman he is on a date with. So, is he into the kissing or the actual Woman?
Final Rose
Finally last night was the night Bachelor Nation has been waiting for. Since Arie let both Becca and Lauren know he was in love with them; who does he choose?
As reported earlier in the season, Arie proposes to Becca and the show ends with a happy ending. But, are they happy? So, what happened after the final rose?
In my opinion, the camera’s being present as Arie ended his engagement to Becca was done in very poor taste. I don’t think the camera’s needed to be present in this break-up; nor do I think the Bachelor production team should have filmed a private moment.
Since this reminds me of Jason Mesnick’s season; did Arie have a change of heart? Of course, this will have Bachelor nation talking.
After the Final Rose
So, my issue with the way this season ended was if Arie had doubts; why did he propose? So Monday nights show ended with Becca speaking to Chris Harrison for the last five minutes of the show. And part 2 continued last night.
In summary, last night began with several girls from Arie’s season brought on stage. Next was Becca. After she spoke, Arie joined her on stage and I thought Becca asked some good questions.
After Becca exited, Lauren was brought on stage. Of course, there were some tough questions by Chris Harrison and then Arie proposed to Lauren. Since there were already rumors circulating that they were already engaged; I thought this part of the show was not a surprise.
Finally, the new Bachelorette was announced. This was no surprise as Becca came back on stage. Similarly to Rachel’s season, Becca’s season started last night as she met 5 guys who will be vying for a rose when the season begins in May.
Consequently, the second time is usually the charm. Will Becca find true love on her season?
As always, I welcome your comments.
Kevin didn’t like any of these girls,except Becca and Bekah and Sienne. I knew he was either going to be like Mesnick or Womack and the jerk chose the wrong thing to do. His family was equally responsible for repeatedly bringing up Lauren to Becca. Becca got screwed on everything in Peru fantasy suite and no Macchu Pichu and we had to listen to Lauren making one word remarks about the entire trip. Holy Crap, does she not understand the historical significance of the place she was in? It was awful watching the break up and I thought Becca showed a lot of class and restraint, even with her “You”ve got to be effing kidding me comment. He is the biggest tool on the planet and he will get no absolution from anyone. Becca”s dress was beautiful. I hope Lauren turns him down on the ATFR tonight. I can”t stand either one of them. Kevin would gladly offer Becca a rose because she is the best. I knew he was going to be a crappy Bachelor and last night hammered that home for me.
Agree with your comments as I wasn’t a fan of Arie. I’m looking forward to Becca’s season and think she dodged a bullet.
