“The Bachelor in his human form tends to be a hollowed-out tree trunk of a person,” says Ellie Shechet, but Arie Luyendyk Jr seems like a special kind of boring. “With the exception of Chris Soules…—who was so offensively dull that his season unfolded kind of like a horror film, except instead of dying immediately the protagonist gets dragged off to Iowa to bear children—we haven’t had a Bachelor as comically uncharismatic as Arie Luyendyk Jr. in some time. I have now watched four entire hours of this season, and I am still entirely perplexed. It feels like he’s mimicking Ken Marino’s performance on Bachelor parody Burning Love.”
