Arie is *officially* the worst: After the Final Rose

Honestly, I knew this was coming, so I don't really have much to say about Arie, Becca, and Lauren. This is more just general commentary I came across during the last few days.


1. This picture of Emily Maynard side-by-side with Lauren B. 





2. Every recorded word Lauren B. has said to Arie, up until the finale.  A snapshot:


3. When Sean Lowe won't endorse it or make a joke about it, it's bad.


4. I haven't been a fan of Kelly Ripa in years (something about her...), but I appreciate her commentary and using her platform to put Arie on the spot. This is her grilling him. 

5.

6. I liked seeing some of Becca's guys at the end.




Honestly, I think we're onto better things now. I don't know that Becca is ready to be engaged twice in 8 months, but I think she can find someone great and I think she dodged a huge bullet when it came to Arie.

I'm seriously considering going unspoiled for this Bachelorette season. Thoughts on that? I'm just so used to reading/listening to Reality Steve. (It's sad that this is an actual decision that I spend time contemplating.)

Something that's also a little sad: my plans today include some parent-teacher conferences and then going to buy the dog a birthday cake.
