So I'm gonna talk about the  new bachelor.   I like Chris Soules on paper.  I thin he is just so manly.  I always think famers do a very manly job and he is also very business savvy,  as he is the only son and went and earn a college degree from University of Iowa (if Im not mistaken) to make the family business more stable and competitive.   That's the big plus and his looks.  He also seemed to speak his mind when he thinks another person is full of it so its something to look forward to if he is the bachelor.   He is both gentle and rough.   He is not a dainty,  metrosexual man whose career status has to be inflated by TBTP for him to be a worthy bachelor.

I only worry about the kind of future bachelorette  they will get among his 'suitors'  cause I want my bachelorette to have a very interesting and challenging career.   If they can cast a female  astronaut, a biochemist a surgeon for bachelorette all the  better.  It makes me take the 'bachelorette' a little more seriously.   This is why I still enjoyed Juan Pablo's season because of New Zealand and Sharleen Joynt who was a very interesting woman  and very articulate.   Usually career oriented women wants to live in the thick of civilization as you guys say.  Not all career driven women are interesting I just do not like a bachelorette who has no career.  We already had Emily Maynard.

OTOH, they could look for   artists (painters,  sculptors), some web developers or programmers telecommute and writers.  Other than those careers I really cannot think of why a woman  who would abandon  a lucrative job or a city lifestyle to be in a place with a population of 500 to be with a man whom she only met for less than two months,  I  have to suspend disbelief otherwise.   But it will be enough to make me curious and watch his season.

I am more excited about him than an other lead, male or female, in the past.  I was also very excited about Sean, even when many were saying the same things about him being dull, boring, etc..

It's not just because RS posted that he thinks he knows it's Chris. I think that people are just not that interested in Chris.  If it were Arie- there would be pages and pages of posts of speculations (will they film in Holland? When will filming start? How can I crash into the mansion and accost him/warn him about the crazy girl/ avoid a Personal Protection Order?)

Seriously -it would be nuts. I dont know which of the bigwigs does not want to cast Arie - but whoever he is , he's costing the network mega bucks. THIS would be reaction to casting Arie . Can you even imagine the ratings? Through the roof.
