Where was this?

A lady from WetPaint met him on Sunday and tried to 'trick' him to spill by asking 'How is Desiree doing?'  He said 'She was really nice...on the show'.  Now, when I read that I thought that had to be a misprint, because that's not even what she asked him. Plus, 'was really nice'?  OK.  For a guy that writes poetry, he sure isn't romantic whenever he talks about Desiree to me.

 

First of all, Chris answering that question properly the way it was asked would give away the ending for Chris e.g. if he said " Oh, I don't know, I haven't seen her since filming wrapped" would mean he is not F1 or saying "She's great" could be interpreted to mean that they've seen each other lately. That question, though simple was cleverly phrased by that editor. One wrong answer and he could get sued for $5 million. Second of all, if the spoilers are true and most of us believe they are, why would Chris feel the need to remain romantic towards someone who has twice declared on national TV her love for another guy? Hellooo, the show is over, he's back to real life now, just trying to move on without giving anything away.

Good question nd.  Peter S. looks like he may have initially covered.  There are some interview and behind the scenes pics of Des (post-production) on his Instagram.  Peter G. looks like he is also moving up the ranks.  He has posted pics of Des with the guys recently on his Instagram and Cassie and he had an exchange that said:

Cassie (L) Scalettar ‏@cassielambert
@petergeist All for you! The new royalty :). Just please don't ever let the blood rush to their heads. @peterjscalettar can explain.

I believe Elan usually handles the F2 or F3...but I could be all wrong.  Ha ha.  Someone else have info?

Just playing devil's advocate here.... Over and over I have read through out this forum that WetPaint is not to be trusted and not a reliable source of anything.  Yet now, with them writing about an alleged conversation and how Chris supposedly answered one question, why does everyone believe this conversation even took place?  

A picture with someone from their Seattle office doesn’t prove there was a conversation at all.  As a matter of fact I found it kind of convenient that after all this time; they now have a Seattle office with a staffer that just now has bumped into Chris.

They're not going to sue someone in this situation because they don't want certain things to get out and it's not worth the effort. Jef let out a lot of stuff that showed he was f1 and it didn't seem to matter. They should maybe look at Des' mom for liking Brooks so much on Twitter if they're wanting someone to reprimand. :Nod: 

It's not about him slipping up to me. It's the 'she was really nice' thing. Nice? I'm just saying, if he's final 1 and that's the first thing that pops into his head? That's all.

Um, well, at least two guys aren't going to be happy with the outcome, and possibly not happy with Des, at the end of this.  Remember Ben at the FRC?  He flipped his b*%ch switch...and at the time we didn't know anything more about him than that season (aka pretty darn physical with Ashley but reserved and proper family) so that was like whoa.

Who knows what the deal is here but no one is perfect- not any of the F3 and not Des- and they are in this pressure-cooker emotional situation.  There's a lot of unicorns and rainbows re: favorites.  But there is A LOT of crying coming up.  Will we get a love story in the end?  I'm sure pretty sure yes...but I suspect all of the remaining 4 (F3 and Des) get taken down a peg along the way.

Very smart comments auntie. It's never really what happens but how it happens that makes the story interesting.

Brooks Forester is following them all.  So, if he's not Final 1, and I think that means not bitter about it.

Amy is an ex contestant who became part of the production team and handler

whose handler in past seasons ?

I recall a pic that Desiree had with Amy on the beach, but Cassie has posted plenty of times she was with Desiree.

Amy handled Ashlee Frazier during Sean's season. Or at least they posed for a pic together in Thailand.
