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

Just so super    if Flies set up Arie twice.  

The sleuther in me doesn't want to believe Chris is a done deal.  Not yet.  

Even though they were filming at the Iowa State Fair yesterday with appearance releases, is anything being filmed with Arie right now or soon?  RS tweeted Chris signed the deal, but are there other sources?  

Have they cast any of the women yet and do we know anything about them?  That would say a lot.

Lav, I agree with you on Chris's ego and lack of game.  But, I wonder if TPTB are hoping for a Sean II, not a JPG II.  I don't buy that Chris can pull it off, but I think that's their push.

Throw my hat into the ring of those people who don't find Chris attractive and he is boring, this season I will probably be a casual viewer this time around....

I know enough about JPG to form an opinion of him, I know little of Chris to form an opinion. At this point in time, I liked him from the beginning. Not so much during his outburts 1 and 2 which appeared to be an audition. Then even less post show and all his self advertisement for being the bachelor on twitter.

The two are very different when it comes to playing by the rules. ChrisS IMO will do whatever and anything they want him to do, if he were to be TB. aka Jake Pavelka.

Having said that, I hardly know him, so it will be interesting to discover who he really is.

Nick is too much of a drama king to be The Bachelor.

I am beyond disappointed. Seriously, just do a Brad 3.0 before Chris! The only time I liked him is when he was nonexistent on Andi's season. Once he started to talk I was turned off again! Nooooooooooo.. I won't believe this until I see it. Over Arie???  

My personal thinking is that if Juan Pablo wasn't the bachelor last season, they would have gone with Arie or even Marquel. I think they know Chris is the safest choice. Regardless, people are still going to watch the show and I'm assuming production and ABC are really hoping that Chris will be somewhat similar to Sean and his season.

If Marquel's statements are to be believed he is not interested in being the bachelor. They may have been considering since he had so much fan support at the MTA.

Of course they want Chris. They can manipulate him to say and do things for the sake of the "show". Did anyone think that his "secret admirer" notes were his idea? Did anyone think they had nothing to do with the woman admirer plant in the audience of the MTA?

I will try to stay optimistic, but I don't have much hope of discovering who Chris really is. And from what I can see, I don't like the showcase Chris they are molding...

And last but not least, I'm so tired of them stringing Arie and his fan base along. It's become a bad game they play and it feels like a sock in the gut each time.   

Chris is boring, plain and simple.

Right there with you, Bee.

Just so super  :angryemotion  if Flies set up Arie twice.  

I'll be so disappointed if they give us boring Chris. What a waste of an opportunity for compelling, entertaining tv.

Chris is sooo boring that his own fan thread here only has 6 posts in it , since July 12 !!!! During the aftermath of the season in which he was F3! Nice guy. No game. Boring as hell. I honestly dont know what they are thinking.
