The Bachelor, 2018

I think every year it's going to be worse than it is at these things, but maybe this year they will surprise us.

Oh boy, I started to read articles on the Women Tell All -- fair warning:  don't read them before the season ends.  I personally think it's bad.  

I'm probably the only one who is kind of dreading it.

Hooray for Arie keeping it real with Krystal.  It didn't seem like Krystal was even getting what was said to her.  She just kept smiling like she was so special getting so much attention.  Even Chris Harrison called her out about her voice and she acted like it was a compliment.  lol

They kind of show cased Sienne.  Could she be the next ette?

Some of the dresses those girls were wearing were quite revealing.  Tia's dress was so short and Chelsea's dress barely covered her boobs.

Caroline seemed quite upset at Arie for something he did.  It sounds like he will be taking a lot of heat.  Usually CH asks if the bach is engaged or in love but this time he said he hoped Arie found love.

I was distracted by Bekah's hideous earrings!

It seemed like Caroline was upset at everybody.  What a negative presence.  I barely remember who she was.  Talk about somebody who wants attention.

I like Sienne, but I don't know if she has enough personality to be the next bachelorette.

She certainly left us in suspense.

Haha  big earrings must be her thing.  She wore a pair when she was on Kimmel and he made a funny remark about them.  I could never wear those but I don't mind them on her.  She did look pretty tonight though.

Caroline was pretty annoying...I don't remember her at all and I don't understand why she thought her opinion warrants attention. It's not like all of the other girls don't know what he did.

I saw some article where Caroline was upset at Arie about something else (not as big of a deal) during the season, and that she called Arie out on behalf of a "friend."  I think, in part, she wanted to call him out because of prior mental distresses/pains.  But she was also getting angry at quite a few people.

The women got their claws out last night, and what a screaming match.

I was kind of surprised Arie called Krystal out.  Good for him.  I'm just not sure about his justification though; he felt he was justified in being cold to her because of what he watched later on television, like the ends justifies the means.  Well, it seems Arie's going to really be in the hot seat soon.  He's looking forward to the season being over but I think he's going to have to do a lot of justifying and defending himself.

Before I say anything else I have to agree with a few comments. Yes, Bekah’s earrings were very distracting. I would be trying to listen to what she was saying and start thinking that they looked like some art project she did while partaking on too much of what they produced on the marijuana farm. And yes, some of those dresses were way out there...or should I say the boobs were. Bibiana was another one that had them on full display. Every season it gets worse like they try to outdo each other to get attention with how revealing they can be.

I did like that they showed a montage of past villainess’ on WTA before they brought Krystal out. It highlighted how at least you got some sort of apology out of them, unlike Krystal that had an excuse for every nasty thing she said and did. And I liked how Ari called her out. I thought that the way Ari dismissed her on the night she got sent home was justified and I guess she was still angry about it. She would have come out of it better if she had just kept her mouth shut about some things, but nooooooo, Krystal obviously thinks way too highly of herself. I had to laugh though that instead of just showing the video clips of what we already saw go down that they decided to highlight some things Krystal said that didn’t air. Like calling Ari a “needle d*ck” and the girls “c*nts” so everyone could get a better sense of her nastiness. I hate that word but if anyone was one it was definitely Krystal herself. I guess everyone realized that last night. And I’m glad someone brought up the voice issue. Her trying to claim she lost her voice and that’s why she sounded like that just shows what a liar she is. She can’t even own up to it. By the time she got to her sob story at the end she had already turned everyone so off that it was hard to even feel anything about it.

I don’t know what all the fuss is about with what happens in the end of this. It will be interesting to find out. Will it be the “most dramatic” as CH is known to say every season? Don’t know, but something is happening from what they are showing us in the preview. Is what Caroline says about it just because she is upset for a friend of hers that is in the final three or does he do something really wrong? Stay tuned....

Skt8word, I think by the time Ari let Krystal go during that three on one date that he had had enough of her. You could tell it in his face, the way he kissed her on that date, how he talked to her, etc. There is a lot that they don’t show so for all we know someone that heard her going off on him and the other girls during her now infamous angry rant and told him everything. He was obviously turned off by her at that point during the season. You could tell that just by when she said this is their first fight and he responded by saying it could be their last.

I can't believe that people were defending Chelsea and her glam shaming of Marikh.  I think you can shame anyone about anything.  Since when are the girls on Chelsea's side?

rkc, true.  Arie showed he wasn't happy with her and said off the show that he saw the cracks in their relationship during the season, but he also apparently defended her according to articles.  It just seemed like on the WTA he was justifying being "cold" (not how I was going to characterize it but he didn't deny it) on what he watched later.  Oh well.  He's not the best communicator LOL.  

By the way I'm not justifying Krystal's behavior.  Arie telling it like it is.  lol

I have to wonder if Arie feels like an idiot for having been interested in Krystal. Now that he has seen what she was really like he might be asking himself how he could have fallen for her.  Kind of funny when the shoe is on the other foot.  I'm sure many women have fallen for some Romeo only to find out what a player he is and his lines were all just insincere.  He did say he let it 'string along' too long.  Yeah I bet he has been stringing lots of girls along.

Krystal said some pretty awful things.  Mad or not, saying things like that are pretty childish.

Yeah, her story about her brother was the only time she showed emotion.  By then I didn't even care what she had to say.

It happens to most people.  Everybody plays the fool sometimes.  Look what happened with he and Emily even though she wasn't insincere.  And it seems to happen every season on this show.

I'm dying to know "what he did"!  Hope I can refrain from looking at spoilers for another week   

Oh good grief Arie.

Don't look let it be a surprise..

A 3 hour finale... at least 2 1/2 hours too much.

It's going to be two seperate shows. First one who he picks and second what he is doing now as this was taped months ago.

Ugh...tonight's episode was WAY too much to stomach. Too many I love you's, too much staged and faked ex boyfriend drama, too many boring chicks (except for Kendal). Give me hanging out with c**nts everyday over this!

My theory....Arie is worried about Lauren being so needy for constant reassurance.  She said she has trust issues and that could lead to a constant need for her to know where he is and what he is doing.  He would have to be very careful with everything he does and says.  But now that he told her he loves her she feels more confident that he will propose to her.

He seemed more in love with Becca.  His words and the look on his face said she was the one he wants.  But along comes Ross and now Arie has cold feet.  Realizing that Becca could have some issues to work out with Ross makes him wonder if she is totally committed.

It's looking more and more like Arie proposes to nobody.  Now he looks like the playboy he is reported to be.  Telling a woman he is in love with her right before heading to the fantasy suite for the night certainly looks like is playing them to get them into bed, and it did seem like he did take them to bed.  Lauren, especially will be crushed and feel used by him if he doesn't propose to her.  Becca will be hurt but can handle it.  

Maybe he walks out on both of them and no rose ceremony at all??????????????

Keep in mind that I never guess correctly.
