Can someone get this girl a crystal ball, because I'd like to ask her a few questions about my future.
Bachelor Nation, we'd like you to meet Sydney Stempfley — she was dating Arie Luyundyk Jr. [1] before being "blindsided" by the announcement that he was the next person looking for love on The Bachelor [2]. On Sept. 7, 2017, it was announced that the 36-year-old race car driver would return to the franchise [3] to find his soulmate, but just four days prior, Sydney made a hilarious prediction [3] that proves no one really knows you like your ex!
After former Bachelor Sean Lowe [4] tweeted his suggestion of making Arie the next Bachelor, Sydney wrote back that it would be a great idea, but his indecisiveness could get in the way. Boy was she right.
The show would be perfect for @ariejr [5] up until it comes to choosing just one 😂

What might have been a joke at the time was actually a spot-on prediction of how the sh*tshow that was season 22 [7] actually ended. After getting down on one knee and proposing to Becca Kurfin [8], the "wanker" [9] started having regrets and ultimately broke up with Becca [10] to reunite with runner-up Lauren Burnham. As of Tuesday night's After the Final Rose episode, not only did Arie and Lauren get engaged [11], but in more exciting news, Becca was announced as the next Bachelorette [12].
We've got to hand it to Sydney, though: she clearly knows Arie well. If only Becca saw her tweet before Arie got carried away with his L-bombs [13]. Read on to see tweets from people who are just as shook as we are over Sydney's prediction.
