Bachelor fans who are counting on Reality Steve’s final rose spoilers to be correct may be in for a big surprise when the finale airs on March 5.

Get ready for one of the most dramatic season finales in the history of the Bachelor. Or, at the very least, a crazy twist to the spoilers about Arie’s final pick. And we’re not talking about the ex-boyfriend who shows up before the final rose ceremony.

UPDATE: Confirmed —> Arie dumps final pick, now dating runner-up 2 months after filming finale

Instead, there are some rumblings that Reality Steve‘s spoilers about the Bachelor season 22 finale. Just when we were feeling confident with his prediction, a mini bombshell has dropped about the girl he may have picked instead.

Here’s what we know…

Yes, there are spoilers ahead.

Becca Kufrin scored the first one-on-one date of the season. From what we could tell, she and Arie had a good connection. Or, as much of a connection two people can have after a date that includes producers, video cameras, and food you’re not allowed to eat.

After watching Arie and Becca interact on their date, we knew she would be a frontrunner. We also felt more confident that Reality Steve‘s final rose spoilers are correct.

Before the season premiere aired on January 1, Steve confirmed that Arie and Becca got engaged when the final rose ceremony was taped in November.

However, there is some new information about Arie and his final pick, including a photo, that could end up making Reality Steve‘s spoilers wrong.

The information below could affect the outcome of the season finale OR the After the Final Rose special. Either way, there’s something going on and Steve may end up retracting his Bachelorette spoilers.

Did Arie pull a Mesnick?

If you remember Jason Mesnick’s season of the Bachelor, we’re thinking that Arie pulled a “Mesnick” after the finale — but that’s just a hunch. If you didn’t watch, Jason dumped his final pick (Melissa Rycroft) during the After the Final Rose special so he could start dating runner-up Molly Malaney. (video below)

On Wednesday, Reality Steve addressed a photo that surfaced in a private Facebook group that has sparked some questions about who Arie is engaged to.

Steve states the photo was taken recently (after the premiere) and it shows ABC vans in the driveway of contestant Lauren Burnham’s parents.

That doesn’t sound like a big deal except for this — Arie was at the house.

Steve previously stated that Lauren B. is the runner-up this season. The ABC vans could have been there because producers were talking to Lauren about being the next Bachelorette.

But, why would Arie be there?

Keep in mind, Arie admitted to People that he fell in love with two women this season.

Did Arie get engaged to Becca and realize after the finale was taped he was wanted to be with Lauren? 

Was he confused when producers pushed him to make a choice? We have no idea, but Steve knows something is up and he won’t reveal what the situation is until he’s 100 percent certain.

If our theory is right, we can’t wait to find out why Arie didn’t pick Lauren to begin with, especially since Becca’s ex showed up and proposed to her before the final rose ceremony. Arie had an “out” right there.

Then there’s this…

Is it possible that ABC was at Lauren’s parent’s house because they were re-shooting a hometown dates scene?

Sounds far-fetched, but the whole show is a hot mess, so let’s not rule that out.

Something happened. We may not know for awhile why Arie was at Lauren’s house, but we are standing by to find out if Reality Steve will admit that he was wrong about Becca, or if Arie dumped Becca and is now with Lauren B.

Here’s a clip from Jason’s season of the Bachelor just in case you didn’t watch. Maybe we’ll see something like this during Arie’s After the Final Rose special…
