“The Bachelor” star Arie Luyendyk Jr. isn’t winning any hearts.
The first night of the ABC reality dating show’s Season 22 finale ended on a controversial note Monday when viewers saw Luyendyk propose to Becca Kufrin, only to later change his mind and pledge his undying love for runner-up Lauren Burnham.
It was a dramatic emotional switcheroo that now positions the Scottsdale, Arizona-based real estate agent as the franchise’s biggest villain. But matchmaker Kailen Rosenberg says this season actually has a very happy ending — for Becca Kufrin.
“Arie did Becca a humongous favor by showing her who he really is when it comes to the ability to make such an incredibly important decision that honors or dishonors her heart,” Rosenberg tells TODAY.
Luyendyk has shown signs of emotional cluelessness all season long — which should be a big red flag to potential mates, says Rosenberg, who this week launches a new dating app.
Viewers saw an example of that cluelessness during Monday’s finale when, after he’d broken his engagement with his blindsided fiancée, Luyendyk refused to leave their rented L.A. house.
“Becca asked several times, ‘Leave me, leave me, just go!’ and he’d say, ‘Do you want me to leave?’ And she’d say, ‘Yes, go!” and he’d just sit there,” said Rosenberg.
