I used to be an Arie fan but he’s turning me off. He is the kissing bandit 100%. I get that there has to be a physical attraction and connection but he’s getting right in there with every girl ?.. I don’t know. It’s a turn off for me. He is coming across so fake in my eyes. Even when he says goodbye to the women who don’t get a rose. Not liking this Bachelor at all.
Hi Anna,
I full agree! It’s very disappointing how he’s kind of disconnecting from the girls he isn’t interested in and it’s not nice. I get that you have to cut people, but there is a way to do it and he’s rubbing me wrong. Thank you for commenting… xx
If I see another scene Arie kissing Bekcai will literally ?…he’s becoming kinda of a turnoff
LOLOL… Hugs Rose!! xx
I agree with you! Silly dates and what else bothered me was the fact that he didn’t walk the girls right to the limo. They had to walk by themselves. Not cool.
Hopefully next week is much better!
Hi Cindy,
yes!! I agree.. everybody deserves to be walked to the limo & given a hug. I feel like all the other bachelors have done that, so I don’t get why Arie hasn’t. Not impressed with the dates either! Hopefully next week is better. Thank you for stopping by. xx
I thought the contestants and Arie were victims of stupid producing! That was an impossible show to watch (but of course I kept watching, eyes and ears half closed.
Sad night of the Bachelor. I still like Arie. Next week better be a better show!’
Hi Nikki,
Let’s keep our fingers crossed that he came across not in the best light. I think it had to do more with the type of dates that they went on – I’m sure he’s a nice guy. The edit of him didn’t come off well. Thank you for commenting and stopping by the blog – xx.
I did not enjoy Monday night’s episode. I felt that the women were really degraded by the show. I hated the wrestling segment. It was horrible. This episode was pathetic & it made the women act so desperate to get attention from Arie. If a man really likes you, he will pursue you. These women are trying way too hard to get Arie’s attention.
Hi Karen,
Totally agree. I felt the same way while I was watching it, & the whole thing made me cringe. I hope the dates will be better next week. xx Thank you for commenting and reading my blog!
I had many of the same feelings. The kissing is getting mortifying, enough already. I know a source close to Lauren S. that said Arie was very boring and wouldn’t talk,,,,, they had her drinking all day which may account for her odd behavior during the one on one. I am put off actually and not looking forward to next week…. but I will watch :)
Hi Doree,
Wow this is so interesting because I was telling my friends that as the date progressed she seemed not herself at all. That makes total sense, and Arie not talking probably made her more nervous! Thanks for the dirt ;)
I’m optimistic that this was hopefully a one time bad episode, and hopefully next week will be better!
Yes, me too, hope next week gets better. I forgot to mention that sleep deprivation also came into play. Apparently they wake them up really early and they have to stay up late too ?. Did you notice many of the girls weee upset that Kauren S. went home. She was a great girl and got along with everyone.
I hadn’t heard that… I would die without sleep. Karen S. seemed really nice. An insider mentioned to me that she was really drunk by the time she was talking to the cameras and that’s why she kept talking on and on…. I’m not surprised. xx
His kissing is ridiculous!!! Who wants that much tongue action?!?
He’s not my Fav at all. There’s something about him…. couldn’t pinpoint it on Emily’s season and now again. I think he’s too competitive- it’s a game to him.
Hi Cornelie,
I hope not! So many people take time off work to be there. I hope he’s there for the right reasons.. I can’t imagine how he must feel because he didn’t come directly from The Bachelorette like most Bachelor’s do, and maybe he’s not used to the cameras yet. Hopefully things will get better! Thank you for reading my blog, hope you’re enjoying the recaps :) xx
Sooo funny Jody! My friends kept mentioning that too! LOL
I fell asleep from the start of that horrible wrestling date until the rose ceremony and didn’t even replay it! I deleted it! Horrible episode and this Bachelor is not coming off well in this season. And the girls climbing on top of him yikes! Girls don’t be surprised when a man gets the wrong idea! All of the screaming giggling and crying. Almost want to make myself check out of this season! Xo
I cringed the whole way through with only one eye on the screen! It was so uncomfortable. The degrading of the women was awful! I’m not sure why the producers would think that was acceptable! I’m not liking Arie at all. He hasn’t had a meaningful conversation with anyone yet and is coming across as very shallow. I’m not sure if I’ll continue watching. I’ll give it one more chance next week. Thanks for your update.
Thanks Gailene… I couldn’t agree more. I really feel that he must be coming across a little different than how he is in real life. Fingers crossed things get better. ;)
Nobody has mentioned Jenna at the rose ceremony. She straddled him and gave him the sloppiest kiss and he was all over it. I had to fast forward. But she looked completely wasted. I imagine the alcohol flowing is in abundance during these dates/ceremonies.
Completely agree with your comments. There seems to be something missing here. Class. Perhaps dignity and respect, too. Last night, Jimmy Fallon remarked that “he makes out with everybody”! His guest commented that she’s always thinking in terms of diseases and germs and there’s a lot going around there. :-D Better things to do…like checking out the sweaters in your blog!
Perfect recap, Kristy!
We didn’t care too much for this weeks episode, but NEXT WEEK’S (when Bekah reveals her age) looks like a winner!
I like Arie, he’s really sweet… I just don’t know if I would have cast him as the bachelor!
Good point… He does seem sweet. I think he’s just not used to having so many crazed girls after him all at once. I can’t wait for next week. It’s my birthday that Monday… that HAS to be good luck! ;)
Hi Kristi just recently found you on Instagram I am new to that as well and so happy to have found you! I don’t know a lot of people that indulge in the bachelor and it was really fun to watch along with you all and hear the comments. I agree there’s just something about the season that is not clicking with me and I have a feeling we will be disappointed in the year one hour he is not with whoever he chooses. Looking forward to your next post! My favorite thing about Instagram is there is so many people out there as interested in home decor is I am so fun!
Hi Marla,
Thank you so much for stopping by the blog and following me on IG. Isn’t it weird.. I really hope that it doesn’t continue to be like this, this season. And thank you so much for commenting!
I wasn’t A fan of this episode either. I get the premise of the show is to basically pit girls against one another but this just seemed a little too much. Pulling each others hair?!? And if you don’t like it you’re a poor sport? It was over the top… even for this show. Hopefully next week is better….! Thanks for your recap!!
Hi Erin,
I so agree with you.. Ugh. I don’t know why it had to be this way.. I thought this season would be better. Thank you for stopping by & reading! xx
It hasn’t been a stellar Bachelor season. I would have thought from the Bachelor in Paradise fiasco that they would have been a little more sensitive with how women are treated – themes of group dates, Ari’s dismissive personality, the heightened emotions…it’s what happens when you pot people against each other for affection. So many personal issues with this last episode. My girlfriends and I think Bachelor needs to really think about their branding and the image of women they’re portraying. I love a good sarcastic banter, but a lot of this stuff is just too personal. Not a fan of this season for sure.
Hi Tammy,
I completely agree.. I so thought it would be different especially after the BIP season. (Ugh.) I’m going to keep watching it and hope for the best but it’s hard…. xx

Arie licks his lips EVERY time before he goes in for the kiss. I can’t unsee it now. He reminds me of the wolf in Little Red Riding Hood ?
Hi Fiona,
LOL! I’ll have to pay attention next time to this.. He really is a ‘wet’ kisser. It’s grossing me out!!
Thank you for reading the blog, xx
Oh my gosh! I noticed how he always gives his lips a quick lick before he goes in for the kiss! It grosses me out!!!!!
Sooo funny Jody! My friends kept mentioning that too! LOL

It’s so hard watching this time around… :/ I hope things get better. I love this show! xx
I cringed the whole way through with only one eye on the screen! It was so uncomfortable. The degrading of the women was awful! I’m not sure why the producers would think that was acceptable!

I meant to add that and when that happened my gf’s and I died! So awkward! I’m sure alcohol had tons playing a part… xx

LOL…You sound just like my friends. I’m really hoping that this week was just a fluke. Who knew sweaters could be so exciting? ;) xx
Perfect recap, Kristy!
