Lauren, a 25-year-old technology salesperson from Virginia Beach, VA, who currently resides in Dallas, TX, is up against Becca Kufrin for Arie's final rose.
During next week's two-night finale of The Bachelor, Lauren and Becca will both meet Arie's family and enjoy one last one-on-one date in Peru with the show's star.
Arie will then have a very tough decision to make, and Chris Harrison has a teased the most dramatic ending in franchise history. While Chris tends to say that every season, show producers and sources have all backed him up, insisting Arie's final decisions will be shocking and controversial.
Arie is attracted to Lauren, and while she's guarded, she seems sweet and caring. But is their romance deep enough for Arie to propose to her? And is Lauren the "the one" he has been searching for this whole time? Until we find out, let's learn more about this blonde beauty.
