-Seinne’s date was up next and they were doomed from the start. No, not because Seinne hasn’t been featured since her 1-on-1 in Lake Tahoe. No, not because Seinne has more intelligence in her left earlobe than Arie has in his brain. It’s because when she arrived for the date, she walked up to Arie, they hugged, and Arie had to pick her up, as opposed to her running and jumping in his arms. That’s a huge no-no on this show. Jump into their arms. That’s always a good sign. When he has to pick you up to show you he cares – he doesn’t. Remember, Arie is all about the ego stroke. You not “caring” enough to jump in his arms basically sealed your fate woman. Poor Seinne. Just get down to Paradise and hopefully you’ll find a dude there.
-Arie and Seinne meet up with some local named Julio. I think that was his name. Hell I don’t remember. The day portions of these dates were not very exciting. And what’s the deal this season with 1-on-1 dates meeting up with locals then crashing their pad? That old dude with the summer teeth in Ft. Lauderdale should sue for copyright infringement. What the hell is happening here? Anyway, this dude Julio’s life revolves around truffles apparently. Like, he can’t live, breathe, or think without them so he takes Arie and Seinne on a wild goose chase with his dogs to find the best truffles ever. Trust me, I was confused as most of you watching this truffle hunting since I thought truffles were chocolates. Silly me. That’s when Google came in handy and I found out what they really were here. And that made me hungry for some pasta with truffles like they had.
-Arie: “I do dig Seinne. But can I dig deep enough?” That doesn’t make any sense. I think he tried to be funny but it just fell flat. Even when they showed up and party crashed that poor Italian families home that thought they were part of some Olive Garden commercial shoot, nobody really knew what the hell was going on. Arie’s in the kitchen trying to help them cook, Seinne is out with the other folks getting grilled on if she’s gonna marry this clown. This date was a mess. Like, “Hey, tap the brakes people. We came here for some grub. Pass the breadsticks. Give me the boat of marinara and quit interrogating me on what I think of my boyfriend here. Too much pressure. I’d like to be able to eat in peace, not be hounded by a bunch of barely English speaking locals following producer orders.” What an uncomfortable date all around. And then to top things off, the family is chanting for them to kiss at the table. Huh? I would’ve excused myself and told them to mind their own business. But hey, that’s just me.
-All you need to know about Arie is before the night portion of their date, he says this in an ITM: “Becca and Lauren told me they were falling in love with me…I really need to make the right decision with Seinne.” He could’ve used a giant white erase board and it wouldn’t have been any clearer: If Seinne doesn’t tell me she’s falling in love with me, she’s gone. Simple as that. And producers knew she wouldn’t tell him that, which is why she got this date. They knew she was going home and Arie knew she was going home before this date ever started. That’s why she was put on it. Buuuuuuuuut lets make her squirm a bit and see how she reacts once this is done. Considering we saw exactly nothing once she got in the car really, and she wasn’t a heaping mess of tears, that pretty much goes to show how disappointed she was in being sent home. Probably booked her own flight out of Italy back to the LB.
-Arie even put her on the spot with “I really want to know what our future would look like…” Seinne’s response: “This is the first moment where it hit me…I’m not ready to NOT have you in my life.” Oh Seinne, maybe you just didn’t care at that point, but you’re talking to Arie F***in Luyendyk Jr. at this point. To him, you might as well have just said, “You suck at racing, you’re a dog, you’re not interested in being married, and no wonder you’re the lowest rated ‘Bachelor’ ever.” That might’ve actually gone over better than you saying you’re not ready to not have him in your life. The fact you used a double negative on him probably friend his brain for about :10 seconds as he pieced that sentence together trying to figure out what the hell you were talking about. Then once he realized it didn’t add up to: “I’m totally falling completely head over heels for you Mr. Luyendyk. I’m already looking at property in Scottsdale to move. Here, here’s my tongue for your personal pleasure,” Arie was done. And so was Seinne. He walks her out, she’s none too thrilled, thought it came out of nowhere, and she was on her way not wiping away a tear. Good for her. She just got dumped by a guy wearing Mr. Rogers sweater and a plaid shirt. Give him the business at the WTA taping today, Seinne.
