Almost everyone has been talking about what happened between Arie, Becca, and Lauren. I couldn't go on social media all Monday night because the episode doesn't come on Hulu until Tuesday morning, and I didn't want to see what was happening or who was chosen.
For those of you who don't watch the bachelor or are unaware of what happened, let me give you a little summary:
The Bachelor, Arie, got down to the final rose, which is supposed to be given to the girl he chooses to spend the rest of his life with. He sent Lauren home crying, with a broken heart. This shocked me because she finally opened up to him, which was what he wanted her to do the whole time! So he tells her he loves her after she has been through a failed engagement, and then he just breaks up with her with barely any explanation.
He said that he made the choice of who he wanted that morning, which Lauren brings up when she is being interviewed on the car ride home; how can you propose to someone you decided you fully wanted just three hours before??
So, Becca's next, she confesses her love to Arie, and he reciprocates the feelings, gets down on a knee, and proposes. A few happy months later, he decides he doesn't want Becca anymore because she was too "safe" of a choice. I think his family saying that they like Becca over Lauren was the biggest factor for him choosing her.
He gets back with Lauren and Tuesday night they got engaged.
They announced the next Bachelorette last night.
If you would have asked me a week ago who I thought it would be, I probably would have said Tia. She's the nice little country girl from a small town, but is brutally honest. I hoped it was her because I was rooting for her, but I didn't want her with Arie. She was way too good for him. So she deserved to find love, just not with Arie.
Then all of this drama with Becca happened.
We all fell in love with how she handled everything so graciously. I know if that happened to me I would be flipping tables, and I would never be able to trust men again.
The way she went about it was perfect, she asked him questions about him wanting Lauren, and where that left their engagement. When they ran out of things to talk about, she asked him to leave, then she went to the bathroom and cried softly.
It's like she knew the whole time in the back of her head that there was something bigger and better about to happen.
After all of this happening to her, she deserves nothing but the world. Ever since the first date she went on with Arie where she had beautiful dresses and diamonds surrounding her, we could picture her being the next big thing, not just a winner of one man's heart.
All of the girls that were friends with Becca throughout the season of The Bachelor were brought to the show last night. Their faces when they announced the next Bachelorette were absolutely priceless. You could tell that they were all super supportive of her, and they truly think she is the best fit for the role.
We all see now why her ex, Ross, wanted her back so bad, and why he was with her for 7 years.
Becca, you deserve everything. And on behalf of Bachelor Nation, we hope you find the love Arie couldn't give you.
