Oh man did she ever.
Smoking body. Face looks like Sara Eisen. No ex boyfriend BS.
How can he not pick her?
Arie picks Becca, realizes he made the wrong decision, dumps her after 2 months, and goes back to Lauren. Arie and Lauren now dating.

Am I the only one who realizes the reason this guy "hasn't found love" is because he's very obviously looking for it in the wrong gender?dhockster said:
A full "NTTAWWT" and everything, as I'm all kinds of pro LGBTQ rights. But I'll lay $20 to your $10 that he ends up in a relationship with a guy within 5 years.

Appreciate the effort of the unedited raw cut.....but I actually started begging for some edittting during the breakup when nothing was going on....

Okay I have never watched this show but ABC was on when I turned the tv on and this train wreck was on.
That being said I hate this guy. What a jerk. Man, how can he show his face in public after this? What was awesome is I do a search for who he is IRL and his Wiki page is obviously undergoing many creative edits. It had his middle name listed as “back-stabbing snake” and then it had him as an incredibly indecisive race car driver.

Pretty good article here about their screening process, looks like herpies keeps a lot of women off the show:

I said the exact same thing to my wife as she turned it on for five minutes last night. We don't watch the show.

I think he's clearly a moron, but what does Bachelor Nation want? Arie to go ahead and marry her when he's just not that into her? This is his real life and he has to live once those cameras stop. Honestly, he's such a turd in general that he actually did Becca a favor, she'll end up doing much better.

I'm assuming anyone actually angry thinks maybe he should have broke up with her off camera like what happens in the other 99% of the post-show situations? Putting the girl out there with multiple cameras in her face, not only to get dumped, but to basically tell her that every day he's with her is a day he's losing the chance to be with the other girl is a ROUGH look.

Yeah, that's the thing. Assuming this is all real and not some sort of setup for ratings, dumping that girl in a room full of cameras is just brutal. Why would he do that? Is it contractually obligated?
Again, I'm assuming this is not all a big scam, which it certainly could be

Not sure how much cash they piled on him to do it that way...how much $ does it take to irrevocably destroy your public image? He went from being a 'heartthrob' to being the most hated man in America.
General Malaise

Right, realize that this is like being emotionally vested in professional wrestling, but still, forcing that girl to endure that on TV was just mean. I had finally had to just close my eyes and go to sleep as my wife continued to watch. Why let her twist in pain like that? Brutal.

Because she will be the The Bachelorette on the most <insert superlative> Season ever or a feel good story on Dancing With the Stars. Either way I get to see more of her in less clothing, so I'm good.

I would have told the camera folks to leave as soon as I saw what was coming. Her letting the cameras roll makes me wonder..
Also when someone you are done with asks you to leave, leave. Sitting there staring at the person you've crushed makes it worse.
I knew I couldn't stand Arie from the start. He struck me as a player. I'm betting the thing with Lauren won't last forever in bliss. Feel bad for both, esp Becca. She'll probably be the next bachelorette.

“Just leave!!”
”Okay I will leave.”
(sits there)
”Please leave”
”Ok”
(walks out—comes back)
”Leave!!”
”okay I will”
(sits and stares at her)
That’s the thing I wanted to punch this guy for...

I know that's part of the deal, the cameras keep rolling, but most of us would say it once anyway.

I think she signed up for "show us lovingly romp around our rented sex house" not "show me getting dumped." I'm sure the contract reads that they get to film whatever happens, but I doubt she'd have chosen to do it if she knew what was coming. (Or maybe she did and it was all staged).

Sure, I'm just wondering who posed the notion of the televised break up in the first place. Were they calling him every day to see if he was ready to dump her on t.v. or something?
Gr00vus
Footballguy
It also astounds me how bad these people are at reading someone they're in love with at the non-proposal meet up. The look on the guy's face tells you everything you need to know in the first 5 seconds - you can't figure out you're not getting the proposal? Do they coach them that they have to continue with their undying devotion speech and finish it before he officially breaks their heart?
Henry Ford

Yeah, that guy needs to learn there's a lag time between breakup and stalking your ex that is at least an hour.
Henry Ford

After the way he acted, my wife said "this is horrible to do to her, but thank God those cameras are there. That guy's dangerous."
Gr00vus
Footballguy
You mean the way he just sat there and kept sitting there, doing and saying nothing?
Henry Ford
Footballguy
The way he wouldn't leave when she repeatedly asked him and he agreed. For a half hour. That's probably a really creepy, scary thing for a woman. It's one of those "if you won't respect that line, what line will you respect?" things I think.
And kept standing in front of her. And touching her when she said not to touch her.

He's been creepy the whole time, I don't know if he ever acts out in any way though. The guy's a total wet noodle. He was basically waiting for her to absolve him for dumping her. I don't think there was anything more to it than that.
TLEF316

It was so hilarious how they sat down to start the talk. She's like "are you ok? You're making me nervous" and then you can see a whole other camera crew quickly shuffling into the room (in the reflection in the mirror behind the couch) to film the carnage.
But thinking about it more and more, I just have to believe that the whole thing was staged. Unless the guy is a legitimate sociopath, how could he ever subject a woman he was supposedly in love with to that kind of experience? Its absolute lunacy.
Quick google search seems to indicate that the bachelor gets paid like $100K for the actual show. A lot of them get endorsements and stuff after the fact, but I'm guessing this little show they put on probably kills any chance of that for Ari (as well as dancing with the stars) But maybe he's just done with the whole thing and took a little extra $$ from ABC to ruin his public reputation and just go away.

Yeah that was more "I'm going to keep staying here because I think that's the right thing to do, in an attempt to look like the nicest guy I can be in this situation" and not understanding social cues, than being a threatening guy. If he could have told her and then ran away, and not thought others would have criticized him even more for being insensitive, he would have.
Henry Ford
Footballguy
Yeah, that's pretty much what my wife was getting at. And then the woman said something about "at least you finally cried" and my wife pretty much decided he's a sociopath.
RUSF18
Footballguy
I thought it was staged at first too, since she wasn't really crying and just keep saying "I can't ####### believe this" whenever she was looking to express emotion, but once she started crying in the bathroom it seemed a lot more realistic once her emotions really started flowing.
Henry Ford
Footballguy
"Please just leave!" being repeated six times isn't very often a misunderstood social cue.

My wife loves this show so I always watch a few episodes with her.
Last night I realized that these people who are getting engaged have really only had 3-4 dates and some are with other people around..and there are always with a crew filming them. The dates are all flying in a helicopter or taking a boat to the best places on earth.
Then the show ends and reality sets it and they might think...I don`t even know this person one on one..or not sure I even like this person. Plus if you even go on this show you have to be a publicity whore or trying to get discovered for something else.
So Ari is a 37 year old, tall, good looking millionaire, former race car driver and he can`t find one woman to go out with and has to be on the Bachelor twice??
My buddy is a 45 year old divorced man with cash..average looking and he has women crawling all over him.

Guy also told his "fiance" he not only didn't want to be with her anymore, but added on that he wants to be with the other girl, and immediately after laying that on her (on national TV), immediately went with "are you okay?".
