Well, to say today’s podcast might generate a reaction or two would be a understatement. Since the season is starting in four days, we have two women on the podcast today who know a little bit about the guy who is the “Bachelor” and the guy who was originally set to the “Bachelor,” and that’s Arie & Peter’s ex-girlfriends. You may remember Sydney as she spoke with ET 5 days after Arie was announced, but that was in September and I know she has a different perspective on things than she did then. As for Brittany, probably very few know about her relationship with Peter, when it even took place and that from the time he got home from filming Rachel’s season, it continued quite seriously. Today is their chance to tell their side of what happened. Kinda two different interviews. I know what you’re expecting, but Sydney’s is not a bash job on Arie. She’s honest about what happened, the mistakes they both made, and how everything made her feel. Since no one really has any clue what happened with Brittany, I just suggest you give it a listen. Not to mention you’ll get a never-before-told story on how Brittany played a role in me changing my Rachel spoiler. I want to thank both of these women for coming forward today. They are well aware of the negativity that certain “fans” will throw at them for no other reason than they believe Arie & Peter can do no wrong, but they still felt it was important enough to tell their side. As always, if you want to react to this podcast, please include their Twitter handles (@SydneyStempfley & @BossyBrittany) in your replies. No need to attack them, call them names, etc. Just because you may like one or both of these guys doesn’t mean what these women have to say isn’t true or isn’t important. Because it is. I’ve included pictures and text message conversations below to verify some of the stories they tell during their podcasts. I know some people will want to go all conspiracy theory on them, but there are no conspiracy theories here. Just two women telling their story of what it was like dating Arie & Peter respectively. Hope you might see things a little differently after today. Enjoy.

Here are two screenshots of stories she mentioned in the podcast. First one was when Courtney left a vague comment on Arie’s IG that was deleted, and the second one being the text exchange between them on the day of the breakup:

And of course this one I just find quite humorous…

These are some of the text messages that Brittany references during the podcast. Things Peter was saying to her just weeks, some even days, before leaving to film Rachel’s season. Kinda makes you call bullsh** on everything you heard fly out of his mouth to Rachel now…

More texts from before he left for filming. If this doesn’t tell you his ulterior motives, I don’t know what does. Straight from the horses mouth. “Gonna use my looks, kindness, and charm to advance my dreams for my career…” Holy ego, Batman!

And I’m sorry, but this is just weird. Any chance we can get #CanIHaveAPictureOfYourFace trending? Or how about #KeepSake? Bhahahahahahahahahaha…if this wasn’t so manipulative, it’d be comical.

And finally, Episode 7 of the “He Said, She Said” monthly podcast with Sharleen Joynt is up right now at Stitcher Premium.

In this month’s holiday episode, there are no phone calls, but we discuss her recent appearance on Kaitlyn’s podcast, what her elevator pet peeves are (which is fascinating), her decision to go vegan, posting more of her singing on social media, and then we talk about this idea of possibly falling in love with two different women on the show, as Arie is claiming he did this season.
