The Bachelor After the Final Rose: 3 things to know about tonight’s live show
By Ruby Maxwell
The Bachelor After the Final Rose special will air live on ABC Tuesday night. Fans can expect tears, a shocking announcement, and a happy ending for Becca Kufrin.
The Bachelor Arie Luyendyk Jr will appear on the live After the Final Rose special tonight. He’ll face Becca Kufrin for the first time since he dumped her in mid-January. And fans will also get an update about his relationship with runner-up Lauren Burnham.
And that’s not all. There are a few surprises in store during tonight’s show. Can’t wait for it to start at 8 p.m. ET? Here’s a look ahead at the craziness that’s in store during the last two-hours of Arie’s season of The Bachelor.
Becca and Arie
We hope Becca doesn’t hold back when she sits down with Arie during the live ATFR special. During part one of the finale that aired on Monday night, Becca told Chris she does have questions for Arie — whether he will answer them truthfully is the biggest question of all.
Jason Mesnick was tweeting about the finale last night and stated that the lead does not have to do what producers tell them to do — i.e. have cameras rolling during a breakup. Jason learned that the hard way — it’s too bad Arie caved and didn’t break up with Becca in private.
What happens with Arie and Lauren?
By now, most fans know Arie got back together with Lauren. Yes, she took him back even though he dumped her during the final rose ceremony. [spoilers ahead]
Are they dating now? Well, yes. But there’s more.

During the weekend of February 24 (six weeks after he broke off his engagement to Becca) a film crew arrived to film something Bachelor-related at the same place Jade and Tanner got married (Dana Point, California). According to Reality Steve, blogger Kate Kasey tipped him off about that Arie and Lauren were there.
We’re not 100% certain, but apparently Arie proposed to Lauren and they are now engaged. Expect to see the footage of their engagement.
Let’s hope it was a different ring, not the one Becca gave back to him.
Oh, and we’re hearing that Lauren is moving in with Arie. Alrighty then!
