Arie’s latest challenge was facing down the families, all of whom were suspicious of him.
Later, Kendall takes Arie home to meet her twin, Kylie, (in their defense they are older than the Kardashian sisters). Bekah M. expresses her feelings of betrayal, as Tia was the only woman who felt the need to go to Arie about her being so young. “He’s this really balanced blend of roundedness and practicality, salt of the earth, sensuality, and a little bit of showiness, a private streak, and surprising depths”, she says.
All this, Biehl says, makes Becca and Arie a pretty stellar match, making her a strong competitor for his heart.
What is even more puzzling about Arie’s choice is that he picked Kendall instead of Tia. She enjoys the outdoors and charming Bachelor star Arie Luyendyk with her brashness and genuine personality.
Arie heads to Arkansas to meet up with Tia Booth next.
Apparently, Tia’s parents have tons of questions for Arie. Jason doesn’t hold back from grilling an admittedly nervous Arie about his “playboy” reputation.
Nope. Despite his stern demeanour and earlier statement that Becca’s liaison with Arie was happening “ridiculously fast”, Gary was won over by Arie, who said he was falling for Becca and that he’d even go to church with her despite not being “as far along” spiritually as she was. Afterward, he meets her family, including her protective Uncle Gary, a pastor who became like a second dad to Becca after her own father died. The date is described as “tense and uncomfortable ” family dinner. Steve asks after Arie says he’s falling for Becca. “I definitely didn’t [see it coming] just because I thought that we were at such a good place”, she said.
In Monday’s episode, Kendall thinks this would be a good time to tell Arie she loves taxidermy, because nothing says romance like discussing your love of preserving dead things.
Prior Lake’s Becca Kufrin introduces Arie Luyendyk to her family during a hometown date on “The Bachelor”.
When he returns, he sits down for a one-on-one conversation with her dad, where they bond over their passion for the military. But while Arie struggles to decide which of these women could be his future wife, there’s one cosmic match that quite obviously outshines the others, says astrologer Kathy Biehl. He didn’t seem to believe Bekah was ready to settle down and get married.
Arie confirmed that the four hung out after one fan tweeted: “And excuse me…” He became putty in Arie’s hands after Arie told him he had visited American troops on a goodwill trip to Iraq in 2008 with other race auto drivers. Arie, she says, represents “her inner concept of who the flawless man is”.
Arie asked for her mother’s blessing but rather than give it to him, she said that she would have to trust Lauren. Yep, in a Bachelor first, the couple makes taxidermied rats together and soon Rat Arie is giving Rat Kendall a rose.
Before handing out the roses, an emotional Arie pulls Kendall aside. Cue her crying in the limo.
The two discussed how special Becca K is and the devastating loss of her father.
The stellar style and persona presented on The Bachelor has a great deal to do with the desire for success measured in numbers of likes and followers that these women steadily gain long after the show airs. Then on Monday night, Arie’s romantic journey continues as he and the remaining girls go to Peru, and Arie is confronted by one of the girls’ ex-boyfriends.
