This season of “The Bachelor” premiered on the first of January and we are now two weeks into what is sure to be a jam-packed journey for Arie, the eligible bachelor, and the now 15 contestants. I don’t know how Arie keeps track of who all these women are and how he can date all these people at once but that just makes it more fun to watch while everything unfolds. These are some of my thoughts on this season’s current contestants as well as the ever handsome Arie Luyendyk Jr.
Becca K.
OMG. I love Becca!!!! If she and Arie don’t get married I’m suing The Bachelor franchise. She just seems so down to Earth and they look so good together. She also got the first one-on-one date and it went super well so I’m hoping that will be a hopeful indication of where their future relationship may go.
Krystal
Week one, I liked her, I thought she could have some potential. But ohhhhh boy after week two and three, I don’t care if she sticks around another second, she has got to GO. She stole time with Arie from other contestants after she was already safe week two and she has become a major troublemaker that I was totally unprepared for.
Chelsea
By the middle of the first episode, I could tell Chelsea would be an issue. She talked to Arie twice on the first night and continues to put the fact that she has a son, above everyone’s sacrifices and needs. She’s constantly stealing Arie away as soon as she gets the chance and I just think she’s just not right for him in general.
Seinne
She’s another one of my favorites this season for sure. When she gave Arie those elephant cufflinks on the first night and after they talked more on during week two, I can see her hopefully going far and I believe they’d be a cute couple.
Maquel
She had the best entrance on the first night by far, and she’s one of my friend’s favorites, but she hasn’t really wowed me yet. She may have some potential but I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
Jacqueline
I don’t really know anything about Jacqueline but she’s super pretty and she was good enough to stick around the first two weeks so that’s something.
Bekah M.
I LOVE HER. I want to be best friends with her!! She definitely has great on-screen chemistry with Arie and from the previews, she makes it to the point where they’re traveling. But I’m not sure if I see them together. Personally, I think the age difference isn’t a huge deal, she wouldn’t be on the show if it was. But it will be interesting to see how her relationship with Arie progresses over the next few weeks.
Jenna
I don’t really feel one way or another about Jenna but I think she can be a little much at times. I mean, come on, she was giving Arie a pedicure on the first night.
Tia
She seems nice enough but sometimes her goofy, countryside is a lot to handle. Also, her opener the first night was so incredibly embarrassing I would have sent her home the first chance I got. But after week three, I could see some cute chemistry starting to form between her and Arie.
Lauren B.
She seems nice enough and I'm glad she's finally had her first kiss with Arie but I don't really care if she goes home next week.
Kendall
I was genuinely scared of Kendall from the first little opening clip they did about her the first week. Collecting taxidermy is weird by itself but the fact that she’s 26 years old and she brought some of them to show Arie is too much for me.
Brittany T.
Brittany T. is super cool, she’s definitely had a pretty good first few weeks, and she’s had some nice moments with Arie. But overall I think that they would be better off as friends. I just don’t see them dating and getting married.
Ashley
I don’t know anything about Ashley except that she’s a real estate agent. I don’t care if she stays or goes but I don’t think she’ll make it far.
Marikh
I like Marikh as a person and I think she’s drop dead gorgeous but I haven’t seen a lot of interactions between her and Arie yet.
Caroline
I liked Caroline at first but now it just seems like there’s always someone I like more than her. I think I just need to see how she is with Arie a little bit more and then I’ll have a more solid opinion.
Arie
I’m straight up in love with him. He’s beautiful inside and out and I think he is a genuinely sweet, kind person. I watched Emily’s season when he got his heart crushed five years ago and it was so so so sad. But looking at some of the women he has formed relationships so far, I’m so hopeful for him and I really think he’ll find his true love this season.
