Arie Luyendyk Jr. is ready to find love… again.
So its fun that we said, Lets go back and get him his chance.
Arie connected with them incredibly well; I connected with this group really well.
He was very blown away on night one after meeting everybody.
Im excited for people to get to know Arie for the first time because hes a great guy.
Hes dynamic and yeah, he is a good kisser and he makes these women feel things very quickly.
They fell for him very very quickly.
People are like, Oh I dont know this guy.
Look how old he is.
Why is he The Bachelor?
Hes a namesake and his dad is racing royalty.
Theres a reason I still care after 16 years and its because its different every time.
It really is a new story and a new journey every time.
Anything else you want to say to fans?I know some people that were like, Why Arie?
I know thats the way it will be with Arie.
