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

Ahhh, now I remember more clearly. It was a big "misinformation" campaign, I'm sure. And it did seem all very believable until Roberto's tweet that there was no amount of money that would be enough for him to accept.

I have no issue with Chris, either. He did get the next bachelor edit which means we really don't know him at all. I hope we'll be happily surprised by him.

Hopefully they will recruit the majority of girls from small town USA. Should that be the case vs the majority with model Mayhem accts, pro ball cheerleaders and ex-strippers----er excuse me beauty contestants, Chris may have a shot.
He seems a decent guy from a decent family, but finding the woman to meld with that from the normal pool of contestants seems quite farfetched.

Well I'm disappointed it's not Arie. I tend to believe RS has it right if he's talking about Chris being filmed and people signing waivers. I guess Sean didn't campaign hard enough for his friend Lol!

I like Chris okay enough, but he wasn't a favorite of mine. He's a nice guy though, so hopefully it will be a good season. I see a lot of farming type dates next season, instead of the usual climbing up/down the side of a building.

As a result of his "Mr. Cellophane" edit, Chris came off as being very vanilla and uninteresting to me last season. I really hope that the producers won't overplay the farmer thing (wishful thinking!), and we get a chance to see his true personality...whatever that is.

I'm going to give Chris a chance. I'm happy with a beautiful love story, whomever the lead is.

Two things they did show with Chris is that he's empathetic and encouraging.  So I actually do see a lot of adrenaline dates..... and lots of tragic stories......

Me too. I wish that the whole Arie rumor had never even come up, because it just makes it a 100x worse for me that it's Chris.

Unless the girls seem really interesting, I'll probably skip next season.

I agree with that. He's not my first choice, but I will give him a chance as well. I really do hope for another great love story. This franchise is on a roll with success stories lately.

They sure are! Sean and Cat, Des and Chris, JP and Nikki, and of course Andi and Josh are all still together. That must be a franchise record, two years of successes.

No, he was at the State Fair eating fried butter,  I hope this is true, I think he will be sincere with a bit of an edge.  I just hope some of the girls are sincere about moving to Iowa and not just looking for their 15 minutes.

ETA
Oops I think I misunderstood your post. But I did think it was funny that he tweeted he was going to go get fried butter at the fair. I am appalled that Iowa invented this (I'm pretty sure it was Iowa). I do understand that it tastes pretty darn good if you are into fried goo.
I told my husband that I wanted to go the state fair and eat "60 things on a stick" and see the butter cow. (which is the way they have advertised the fair this year.) Too bad I didn't go today and hunt for Chris.

Cannot for the life of me figure out how to bring this over. Chris at the State Fair. He showed a cow for the girl in the picture in a celebrity stock show.

For anyone that lives in Iowa and wants to scope it out Chris is going to be judging a cookout contest on Tues at 10:00 for Farm Bureau day.

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

So true!!

This is second time that Arie was teased as being in the running only to lose out to another guy. I wish Fleiss would stop stringing him along and just give him the darn lead.

Here's my wish: A dual Bachelor ... Country Chris and City Arie. Now that would be awesome fun.
