Bachelor 19 - Chris Soules - General Discussion - *Spoilers*

He never said Roberto signed a contract. He only said he was being considered. People had to sign waivers at the Iowa State Fair because they were being filmed. It's legit. I'm excited for this! I think he will draw in a new audience. (mid-westerners, farmers, even more males)

I'm happy for him. He seems like a really sweet guy that all of the other guys in the house genuinely liked. Obviously every lead that signs on to do this show has some other motives for doing it, which he might as it's only natural, but I actually do believe that Chris is in it to find a wife. It will be nice watching him find someone to fall for.

Although, I'm not really that physically attracted to him and I find him to be a bit boring, but hopefully he'll surprise me. I genuinely do think he'll give off a similar vibe like Sean, which I always welcome. It's nice seeing good things happen for nice people. The girls on the show always make it more entertaining too, so hopefully it's a good season and I wish him the best. He seems like a real solid guy. I'm good with the choice.

You know it!    

I am OK with Chris. He is a nice guy and I probably will not be overly invested.

Okay, so I need a major project for all the free time I will have come January.

I hope we got some real crazies, a true love for Chris and a great Bachelorette!!

Want to come write a dissertation with me?

Chris is ok. I find Ari way more attractive but at least I will not be overly invested and will more interested in who will be next Bachelorette who more than likely break another one of my favorite guys heart...

That is what I said with JPG, then I really enjoyed him and Nikki and was not so fond of the next bachelorette.

Not sure when ABC will make their official announcement (prob not til September), but it's Chris. Any reports it's Nick or Arie aren't true

We will see.  He also reported that Roberto had officially signed on when Sean was the bachelor.  He may be right, but I will still wait and see.

Did he report that about Roberto?  I thought it was other outlets which did (and intimated that Roberto was seeking a huge paycheck to do it).  I though RS always said it would be Sean.

He did.

His exact words:

Roberto is absolutely going to be the next “Bachelor.” Mark it down. I had heard a few weeks ago they were after him hard but that he hadn’t made up his mind yet. So when L&S’ story broke on Tuesday, I wanted to see if it was legit. It was. ABC won’t comment, and I’m guessing the earliest we’ll hear anything about the announcement of the next “Bachelor” is Emily’s finale on July 16th, but rest assured, it’s 1000% signed, sealed, delivered that Roberto will be the next “Bachelor.”

The only thing that makes me believe him this time is the fact that he said that they are filming in Iowa. RS has never gotten that wrong.

i totally believe RS.

^What's so funny about that is that the real Bachelor who had already signed his contract was sitting in the same city as him. If he asked the right people, he would have known that.

I have no issue with it being Chris. I very rarely like the leads, few exceptions being Sean and Andrew, so I'll still watch. The girls generally are more interesting me me than the male leads anyway.
