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

Hope for the best, expect the worst!

I'd be a liar if I said I would not watch. I will always watch!! (Unless Andi & Josh break up and she is a repeat bachelorette, that I would skip!). Bring on the fun and the cat fights!!

I find Chris hot.  I like his voice.  I am curious, since TPTB hid him so much this season.  Makes me wonder why.  Glimpses of Chris from MTA reminded me of MeAndI, but I will keep an open mind and still watch, just might not feel the need to watch live.

I have to get over staring at his practically nonexistent upper lip!!   

I think the theme for this year should be "Green Acres." If you are too young to know the theme song:
Green acres is the place for me.
Farm livin' is the life for me.
Land spreadin' out so far and wide
Keep Manhattan, just give me that countryside.
New York is where I'd rather stay.
I get allergic smelling hay.
I just adore a penthouse view.
Dah-ling I love you but give me Park Avenue.
...The chores.
...The stores.
...Fresh air.
...Times Square
You are my wife.
Good bye, city life.
Green Acres we are there.

I'll pass on this season. Not interested in the farmer guy.
I am soooooo disappointed it's not going to be Arie. I had such high hopes for a fun and exciting season...
Now we're doomed ...

Here's my take: the lead doesn't necessarily make the season interesting. It's the 25 contestants, the tears, the cat-fights. I'm glad that it's going to be Chris.

This pretty much sums up my thoughts. He's really attractive to me. So that's a huge plus as almost no Bachelors are going in. He had some mature conversations with Andi, seems like he could be fun but we don't really know much about him. He has such little screentime, not much chance to fall for him as viewers. I really enjoyed him on their first date, and HTD, so hoping for good things. I think there could be a nice story come out of it if he really finds someone.

I also do wonder though if he was top Bachelor prospect why he got so little screen time, just lack of real chemistry with Andi, or something else, ie hiding annoying or unpleasant traits. And he was a little too quick right off the bat to say the company line stuff of Andi being the greatest girl ever, etc. So hope he'll be genuine.

Overall, I have high hopes and am going to try to wait and watch without many spoilers this time, though probably will cave.

Maybe a great story line will help bring justice to a season with Chris as the lead...He shows me nothing other than he's just an ordinary guy I would never notice in crowd....And they would need to bring Arie back to coach this guy in the make out department . I really don't get any of this if true...I think Arie is so much more exciting in every way ..I don't get their reasoning . But who am I ?? I hated when they cast Emily and Juan Pablo....I only watched Emily to see Arie . There was no other reason I could stand it !!

Ugliest, lamest Bachelor ever!!    With an ego to match JPG's! I don't even want to record and delete without watching Chris's episodes like I did JPG's. Although Chris's total lack of game might be fun to trash!    No game and huge ego sounds like JPG II!!!   

So the idiot posted this IG picture the day he was confirmed? And then had his hand slapped by TPTB and had to repost it the next day without "the bachelor" caption? Dumba$$.

Posted 8-5 and deleted/replaced 8-6.

My apologies to Chris fans, but I don't think he is Bachelor material. He is handsome in a rugged kind of way but I thought he was boring. Playing hide and seek is not my idea of foreplay! What really turned me off though was his behavior during the MTA when he getting boisterous with JJ. And also the fact that he has that arrest in his past (for DUI was it?). I just get the impression that Chris isn't really as good natured as he appears on the surface, but I could be wrong. Again, sorry if that is harsh to his supporters.

I am strongly hoping that there is truth to the US story about Nick being the front runner. I find him sexy as hell and so interesting. I would like to see him have an opportunity to be the hero instead of the villain. He put in so much effort on The Bachelorette that I can only imagine how dedicated he would be to the process as The Bachelor. Plus I think it would BE REAL!
