Going Deeper with Ariel Frenkel | The Viall Files w/ Nick Viall

[@kaitlynbristle5685]

She has to be the most articulate contestant to ever be on the bachelor or probably reality TV in general.

[@robinvolpi]

One of them.

I love how logical Ariel is. She is not someone the Bachelor franchise would typically cast and I am all for it. The Viall Files tried their best to criticize Zach so unnecessarily for being "unempathetic" or how he's handled the overnights, but I'm so happy to hear Ariel school them with her grace. I'm in absolute awe of this woman.

[@Flowergardengirls]

👏 totally agree

[@mtbmsm]

I agree with all you said 💯! The Bachelor franchise's loss...something else's (or someone's) gain! She knows how to protect her heart by using her head! She will have zero problems on having a respectful man in her life!

Very impressed with this interview.

Ariel has so much depth, from labeling what she went through as an 'open relationship' to talking about her Jewish heritage to giving the caller great advice. Ariel is one of those rare women we get the pleasure of meeting. She is a confident, articulate woman with wisdom beyond her years.

[@itszaque]

Great interview, Ariel is just so put together and level headed, she’s really fun to watch. I feel like Zach went into the season and especially overnights with the best of intentions, but unfortunately he lacked a bit of self mastery and struggled with expressing empathy and putting his emotions into words. All 3 of these lead to a bad combination where he hurt the women repeatedly despite trying to do the right thing. I feel for him as I think people are acting like he had malicious intentions when clearly he didn’t, but I’m glad that he really tried to listen and apologize last night. I hope Gabbi and Ariel find healing and that Kaity and Zach can continue doing well, they seem to be off to a good start despite everything.

This was such a great interview. I could listen to her talk about anything. What a brilliant woman.

[@erikao3982]

It’s so interesting that it seems like Kaity didn’t want to know he had slept with Gabi, but Ariel did want to know (with Gabi’s permission). I’m not sure what he was supposed to do without knowing that information beforehand. I think the answer is to just not sleep with anyone, except possibly the person you know you’re going to pick

[@Remigirl99899]

I agree. But also, I feel like if he didn’t air it on TV and kept his promise to Gabi, shouldn’t have to be obligated to tell any of the other women.

[@erikao3982]

@@Remigirl99899 yes, definitely!

[@sauceysinister7924]

I think the problem is that who they sleep with isn't anyone's business other than the two parties. It shouldn't even be discussed if you respect yourself and the person you were with.

[@tomchien7692]

1. He was *not* obligated to tell Kaity cuz *all* contestants *should* already be aware from watching *just* the trailers of even *one* of almost any of *dozens* of prior seasons that the prize will most likely have sex with all (e.g., 3) remaining contestants during fantasy suite week (if not even sometimes earlier). In fact, based on that overwhelming past precedence, imho: a) if a prize knows (or even suspects) that they will / will likely *not* have sex (for *any* reason, e.g., religious / relationship focus / etc.) with anyone (regardless of who's left) during fantasy suite week (or even just at any point before proposing), they should let the contestants know ASAP in the contest (and preferably before it even starts as I believe some have when it's due to religious reasons), cuz more than likely most contestants *want* to have sex before accepting an engagement (so they shouldn't string the contestants along, if they're only gonna walk into a deal-breaker during fantasy suite week, the goal is (or at least should be) to be the last one and be proposed to not just see how many weeks they can stay), and b) if a contestant (like Madison on Peter's season) knows (or even suspects) that they will / will likely *not* have sex with the (or any) prize and/or not want the prize to have sex with any (regardless of who's left) other contestant (for *any* reason, e.g., religious / relationship focus / etc.), they, well, they should not even accept the invitation to compete (unless of course they know that the prize (e.g., due to religious reasons) does not plan on having sex before a possible engagement at the end of the show), cuz otherwise, they're likely taking up someone else's spot that likely does not have that deal breaker and it's not fair to pressure the prize with a late revelation of that deal breaker. 2. He *was* obligated to tell Ariel, simply because he opted to tell her his no-sex pledge for all contestants. Even though she may've wanted to (and per her own aired interview comments prior to fantasy suite, prolly *did* want to) have sex, his no-sex pledge (and therefore his adherence to it with the other contestants as well) may (*precisely* cuz it likely changed how their overnight date likely would've gone) affect whether she accepts a rose if offered. 3. Re: 16:02 Ariel: "If the parameters change for that relationship, your partner needs to know.": She's implying (if not flat out stating with her use of the "dishonesty" term at 15:29) that he intentionally withheld the fact that the (no-sex) "parameters" changed since his, ahem (to use her term), "overnight" date with her. More than likely, that was not the case. He was not scheduled to have any interaction with her again until the next rose ceremony (within hours after finishing 2 more overnight dates back-to-back with the other 2 remaining contestants). He prolly didn't tell her, because there was no point, because by the time, he was scheduled to see her again, he'd already decided he was sending her home, so it would've been a moot point to tell her. And he may not've known (and prolly did not know) he was sending her home until he finished his (2nd) overnight date with Katie. Although, the ethical / moral thing to do is to send a contestant home as soon as (or at least without waiting for the next rose ceremony) the prize knows that a contestant is not the one (as several Bachelors / Bachelorettes (including Zach) have done to several contestants), I think it's totally ethical / moral and has usually been the case that a prize may know a contestant(s) is(are) not the one(s) after the last one-on-one / group date with that contestant(s) (or at least the last time the prize spoke to a contestant(s)) but before the next rose ceremony but waited until the end of the next rose ceremony to send them home.

Completely agree with Ariel when she said “you met on a dating app - you’re not friends”.

I think when Zach told Gabby the next morning that this stays between us he was not just being deceitful but manipulative. It seemed like he wanted to make sure she did not say anything about it.

I applaud that she knows that it wouldn't be a good situation for her, though. So many leads jump at the opportunity but don't have enough maturity or self-awareness that it's not a good thing for them on any level (except maybe monetarily). It doesn't sound like Paradise is going to be for her either, and I respect that. I doubt she will have any issue meeting someone at this point!

[@SexAndCandyHair92]

They could have asked her but I have a feeling if they did she declined. It sounds like she realizes fully that this isn't the world for her and rightfully so.

[@tanyat7333]

I think Nick compares everyone’s situation on the show to his, and forgets SOME people actually take the show serious. Some are actually on there for a partner and for love. He assumes it’s all “show”, because that’s what it was for him. I get for many others as well, but some are really there for love.

[@vanessahobbes3072]

I admit I felt like too many care more about followers than finding love but Ariel really surprised me. She was such a refreshing cast member, I don’t know what she will do next because she seems above this franchise in my eyes but I hope we see more of her!

[@janicewoods8736]

If Zach actually told Gabi that what happened stays between them, then Producers probably got to him and told him to go to Kaity to tell her.

[@CC12203]

I totally agree! Someone got in his head and convinced him that it needed to be out in the open.

[@NakoaLeather]

That’s not an excuse though. He doesn’t need to do their bidding when it goes against common decency.

[@tomchien7692]

I don't think the producers *encouraged* him (or even gave him the idea) to confess to the other contestants, but I also think they irresponsibly didn't *discourage* him either. Any *moron* with an even a *sliver* of the "emotional IQ", that at least one contestant has bragged about Zach allegedly having a lot of, should've known after even *watching* not to mention producing even *one* of dozens of prior seasons that the 1st Rule of Bachelor/Bachelorette One-on-One Dates (or even one-on-one "talks" during Group Dates) is "Don't Talk about One-on-One Dates/"Talks" (except for planned activities)"!!! Their heads know and are (at least outwardly but often not even) "ok" with what is likely happening with the other contestants but their hearts can't handle seeing / hearing about it. Prolly why the same contestants on BIP often if not usually can't handle love interest even going on even one even *date* (much less kissing, heavy petting, sex, etc.) with *one* (much less up to 29) other.

It's a scripted tv show. So whatever Zach did was determined by production.

Agree. She mentioned if Gabi wanted it private it should’ve been kept private, but also that she needed to know.
