This week feels more like week 4 or 5, with the "Princess" date, Arie's family and a 15-person demolition derby data extravaganza. We have drama, an unhappy exit and no clarity (yet) on who this season's villain will be.

We're back at The Mansion as Arie Luyendyk Jr. gets his shot at love, Bachelor style. There are trinkets galore, lots of racing puns and of course, Laurens. Lots of Laurens. We also catch up on a bit of this week's Bachelor News.

A quick update from Will You Accept This Podcast

This week, we're tackling episodes 3-6 in our deep dive into all things Arie.

When Arie was named The Bachelor, some of Bachelor Nation noted they hadn't seen his season. Whether you're watching Bachelorette 8 for the first time, rewatching to freshen up on all things Arie or looking for us to give you the Cliff's Notes version - we're looking forward to chatting with you in our mini-season this Fall.

We're kicking off this week with this first episode of ours which covers off on the first three episodes of Emily Maynard's season. Watching along as well? We want to hear your thoughts at [email protected] or 256-648-5272.

The season on the Playa came to a close in this week's finale.Dean leaves DLo to go home alone - or wait? So confusing. Daniel and Lacey have an interesting ending and Adam and Raven seem to still be together, but we discuss why we're unsure there. And of course there are Derek and Taylor - the darlings of Paradise. Plus - the new Bachelor! We have the scoop there on this week's episode. Comment/thoughts? Reach out! acceptthispodcast.com or 256-648-5272

There are some surprising last minute arrivals - from Fred to (wrong) Blake to Jami and the twins. We have a couple of contestants say their goodbyes - Ben Z to head back to Zeus and Kristina to get herself out of that love triangle. And our new shape is a love square for Christin. Maybe it's more of a love rhombus? We don't even know. The episode ends with us learning it's the last day in Paradise - leaving the couples (and us) to wonder what that means for Fantasy Suites?

With all the fighting over Matt, Diggy and Adam - we just have one question: where oh where is Ben Z? We have some early exits and unexpected arrivals. Dean's wavering affections, and physical attraction to DLo continues. And we learn something in the studio sit-down portion that makes us question whether that seemingly sweet smooch between Wells and Danielle M was really legit or just for show.

The second half of this week's episode is more Diggy as he goes quickly into his date with our latest arrival, Dominique. Danielle M makes her unexpected exit, but for a totally fabulous reason. And we're back to the studio for a sit down with some of the cast, DeMario and a segment with Carly and Evan.

The cast is back and it's way more bromance than romance when everything resumes. There's lots of fighting over Raven, Kristina and Dean are not on the same page and Ben just still really loves his dog.
