She will be living out in the middle of nowhere. There is little to no cultural  diversity. The one person you are connected to, is working long, hard hours with little flexibility during certain times of the year---planting and harvesting.
So whoever the F1 is she has to be a strong, mature woman and realize she is not going to be numero uno 24/7 and will have to entertain herself and learn an awful lot about farming life in order to support her man.

Sounds like an ad for Model Mayhem to me. "I am so ready to give up the City life. Hog farming has been my dream forever. and ever. Hey Elan, where's the nearest Bloomingdales/Starbucks/Tiffanys? "

No offense to the Sean fans, I thought his season was very boring and dull just because you have a successful match doesn't mean that the season wasn't boring imo.....

ITA^^^ I have a difficult time believing that the sort of women that apply to or get recruited by TB to be contestants will be the sort of woman that would have the above qualities. And, if by chance some sincere, rural-loving, domestically-minded, low maintenance, girl-next-door type were to be in that 25, Chris wouldn't put her at the top of his list. He'd be looking to trade-up to the super model. It'll go to his head, and he'll think he's reeled in a real beauty, and she'll take her 15 minutes of fame and dump him before next harvest. This is what I fear.

I'm the sort of viewer who gets all hyped up when I have a favorite. I get giddy and silly. Some of you know what I'm talking about.    I TRY (optimal word here) to stay positive, because that is how I personally have the most fun with this show. Sometimes I can be philosophical and deep...but typically, not so much.

If I see a different viewer posting positive things about their personal favorite contestant, I try not to argue directly with that viewer, because I feel we are all entitled to our own opinions. I don't consider that ignoring someone else's opinion. I see it as allowing that opinion to stand on its own. I'd rather elaborate on the positive points of my favorite, in hopes that somebody else might see him in a different or improved light. If they don't, that's okay, too. That's why there's vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry ice cream. Oh, yeah and....what was Marcus?...banana swirl ice cream!

And, if by chance some sincere, rural-loving, domestically-minded, low maintenance, girl-next-door type were to be in that 25, Chris wouldn't put her at the top of his list. He'd be looking to trade-up to the super model.

Exactly Mia.  It'll be Ben Flajnik and Courtney 2.0.

re the bold is what i think chris would need and probably do well with. since most of the women on the show are the aspiring actress/model types that is probably what he'll end up with. i'm sure they'll cast a few of the down-to-earth types. maybe chris will be smart and go for one of them. he doesn't strike me as being naive about women like ben f. seemed to be but he still may fall for that type. i think it must be quite difficult to keep your head screwed on straight when on this show. i'd probably make a mess of it if i were on it.

Let's hope not!

I don't believe for a second if there are hot hollywood actress/model wannabe types going after Chris, that he will be able to keep his head on straight enough to go for the 4H girl-next-door. Not with Stockholm syndrome, over-the-top dates and producers feeding thoughts into his head. Although, I'd love nothing better than to eat crow on this one.

Under no circumstances would I watch the Bachelor if Nick was the lead. I have always intensely disliked him any way.. He always appeared so creepy and self serving which is a total turn off to me. And I can't stand any body who kisses and tells. So, I would never watch one episode of the show with him in the lead.....

Wow, Judiful, tell us how you really feel! I for one would love nothing more than to have Nick as The Bachelor. To each her own, I say.

Well, Knittypnut ..    You are right on..We are all unique in our likes and dislikes..It's a good thing we are attracted to different people and situations or it would be a very boring world.
