S22.E12: After the Final Rose

[OnceSane]

Quote

Arie, Becca and Lauren discuss the outcome of their journey with Chris Harrison; special guests talk about Arie's dilemma and his choices; the new Bachelorette's identity is revealed.

[Armchair Critic]

Arie is trying so hard to squeeze out a tear as he says unconvincingly in a monotone voice how badly he feels and that he feels like a monster.

No socks in winter, those Minnesota girls are tough!

[Armchair Critic]

Panic attack my ass, I'm not buying it Arie.

[nutty1]

Does Arie think we will feel sorry for him ?! I’d step right over him if he fell down!

[b2H]

Watching the Mr. Rogers special on PBS.  I cannot subject myself to this stupidity.  Last night was enough.

[Armchair Critic]

Lauren have some pride....

[Wings]

Keep talking, I am reading!  

[Armchair Critic]

She is as monotone as he is, they probably do deserve each other.

[calpurnia99]

OH FER FUCKS SAKE!!! They had him go talk to Mesnick? WHY WHY WHY do I watch this crapfest? (dramatic music)

I can't watch it either. I just flipped it on during a commercial for ANTM and OMG I can't sit there and listen to Possum and Mannequin try to sell us their love story. I just...I never want to see either of them again.

lol. 

Are they seriously trying to pretend Lauren and Arie hadn't talked and she essentially told him she'd take him back? Because the way she hugged him was not that of someone who wasn't sure what would happen or why he was there or any of that stuff. She hugged him like a girlfriend seeing her boyfriend. So please miss with this bullshit fake ass scene, like Arie is supposedly scared that Lauren may not have him back. 

[Armchair Critic]

I catch up on my e-mails and internet surfing while this is on. But I am still ticked how they bunch up all their shows into multiple hours/days on the same week. This better be good because I am DVRing 'This is Us'.

[nutty1]

So she could care less about Becca’s feelings?!

And he’s over Becca 1000%!! JERK

[calpurnia99]

Arie says he is worried about contacting Lauren because:

 

I might risk it all?

 

What does that mean exactly? You dumped Becca and let's say Lauren doesnt want you. 

What is "IT ALL" that you risked? Your life with Becca? 

And if CH says "the most shocking finale in bachelor history" one more time I'm gonna punch my TV

[bosawks]

My dog let out a snort that I can only roughly translate as “Ah hell no”, got off the couch and stomped to the bedroom.

It’s probably for the best the season will end tonight....

He said he called her and said he broke up with a Becca.  But I agree. 

[LakeGal]

This convo between Arie & Lauren is making me sick to my stomach.

I am not sure which show is worse!

I admit I watch most of this dreck so I have something to gossip about at work the next day. Plus you guys are fun on these forums.

[alexa]

Wow. She was an easy win. Oh Arie I will take you back even though you are a loser and America hates you. Lol

[Pattycake2]

I’ve missed you so much this last month and a half?  There are pics of You arriving at Lauren’s with dates, fella.  It was two months.

[emjohnson03]

I can't fault Lauren, my boyfriend did that...came back and I fell into his arms like some idiot dope.

However, she's silly if she thinks Arie is all in because all he's into his himself. It's pretty much doomed because they won't be able to live in peace (and I know that's they signed up for) but you know that it's gonna be an uphill battle and they won't be able to get past it. And besides the fact that Arie has the attention span of a five year old and the next time he gets close to some hot young thing, he's gonna be down the hole and alone. 

Proceed with your wit Twitter, I do enjoy it very much.

Becca is so much better off and she can't lose being the Bachelorette. 

[dbell1]

Timeline manipulation continues. It wasn't 6 weeks, it was 2 months. Come clean possum. And where the hell is her bad relationship radar? Or her parents to stop her next broken engagement?

We are on the same page.

Hasn’t your tv suffered enough by showing this to you?

[Pattycake2]

I’m over her a thousand percent!  It’s been a whole week since I broke her heart!

[chocolatine]

This show humiliates Becca on national television and then makes her fly home in a middle seat in coach??? WTF, they couldn't spring for a first class ticket after all that?

[Armchair Critic]

No to Bekah's outfit, the sheer top with bra. 

Edited March 7, 2018 by Armchair Critic
edited to spell her name correctly, too many Beccas on this show

[dizzyd]

Hell yeah Bekah!

[Diana Berry]

Did Lauren use the word 'duh' ? Mercy

[bosawks]

Are Bekah’s earrings  an homage to Carol Burnett’s “Went With the Wind”?

[Armchair Critic]

Arie may be getting booed when he comes out (fingers crossed)

[dbell1]

Tia: Guarding her heart. Drink!

It isn't on here yet but I am drinking on command!  

[Meowwww]

I hate Arie.  Acting like Becca was an afterthought.  

[Mabinogia]

Wow, even the rest of the cast are selling him out. That is the most I've ever liked Tia. lol I just find it fascinating that they are being allowed to tell the true story (that Arie locked in Lauren before dumping Becca) while it feels like Arie is trying to sell the idea that he took some great risk in leaving Becca to pursue is true love. This show really, really hates him. It's hilarious

TM Kasey Kohl. Tia could at least give him credit.

I know, right? I was stunned TPTB allowed Arie to be busted like that. I guess America AND the show hate Arie!

Having flashbacks to his creepy beating heart tattoo!  More drinks needed.

Arie is like a monkey.  Swinging from branch to branch.  Making sure the next branch is guaranteed before he grabs it. 

[bosawks]

I’m curious how Arie is going to handle this, he seems almost uniquely ill prepared to deal with adversity.

[saber5055]

This is possible the best thing to happen to Becca ever, in her whole life, from this point forward. It's a BIG WIN for her.

[nutty1]

I love that the girls gave us the true dirt!

I think what we’ve learned from this is that everyone, aside from himself, is an afterthought.

Oh goody. 

[Armchair Critic]

She has the perfect set up to be the next Bachelorette but I hope she doesn't do it. Chris Harrison is so pumped about all the publicity she is getting.

[Mabinogia]

I am loving Becca. She has such a great spirit. She seems very genuine to me.

I hear he went to Juan Pablo for advice. "Es ok!"

[b2H]

I sincerely hope she comes back to MN and never gives this experience a second thought.  They don’t deserve her.

Wasn’t it Farmer Chris’ #1 that dumped him, went back to Chicago and is now happily married to a really great guy?

[calpurnia99]

Well I bring this up every season,,,,but the whole premise of the show is flawed and cruel. I wish one of those girls on the couch said so. I wish one of them would have said Cancel this Shit, A show where the lead cruely rejects 99% of the cast, sleeps with 3 different women, tells 2 women he is going to propose, dumps one of them at the altar. That is the outline and premise, and this is what must happen each season. It's horrible way to treat fellow human beings. It's humiliation. You look throughout history at all the cruel things humans have done to each other in the name of entertainment and fun, this show is comparable. This is what we find entertaining in the 21st Century? We are so evolved.
