As someone who works in the United States' largest industry (yes, over 300 careers in agriculture and over 21% of the nation's workforce are employed in agriculture) I'm rather offended that several of you think that being a farmer is a negative or boring thing. Is that  all that defines Chris? I doubt others would define me only in those parameters.

Which profession shall we drag through the mud next? Remember how boring the Prince was, or Jake the pilot? Let's talk a bit more about the person and not the profession.

 

I'd like to add it's a insult to call him farmer he has a name he didn't call Andi lawyer

I think Chris's profession is awesome. I truly do. But I call him farmer, as more a term of endearment.

Best part of him being The Bachelor?? His mom!!! I loved her!!

GMA made an "official" announcement about an hour ago. So no more silly speculation from sillier producers.

If anyone had any doubt that ABC wasn't going to focus on the farming stuff…..

Good Morning America We have a new #Bachelor & it's farmer Chris Soules! @C_Soules Let the journey begin y'all!

I don't think when people are saying that Chris is boring that they are talking about his job, it's his personality that is boring... It's like watching paint dry imo.

This.

I don't think it's the profession most are referring to as "boring", but the cast person chosen to fill the shoes of TB and his lifestyle.

Precisely.   Thank you.  And in further proof of America's excited reaction to the news, there has been a total of about a dozen posts about the big Good Morning America announcement - in all of the Bach 19 threads in this subforum.  And there hasnt even been a single post in his fan thread here.   Unreal.   I dont know what they were thinking when they cast him.

Thank you, Nutty--so if anyone will be to blame about the spin on "farming/farmer" we know who it will be!
ABC and this lil devil!

I don't think any of us can say with certainty how Arie meant it. All we can do is render our own opinion about his intent.

There is a realm outside of this forum. FB and Twitter are going insane. His announcement received like 21,000 likes in 40mins. Chris led EVERY (wish) poll on every other (big)site....
They made the right choice for the show, the most marketable one. Arie's fans may be more involved and invested in Arie, but Chris appeals to the casual viewers more, (and those casual viewers make up the majority...)
I don't know really know who Chris is as a person. I don't know whether he'll make a good Bachelor. (Even if he does, there is no guarantee that TPTB won't mess it up with their manipulative poop and that horrible editing.) But I'll give him a chance.

People's excitement about Chris being the bachelor is all over my social media feeds: twitter, Facebook, and even some on Instagram. My brother and his friends have even told they are watching since "one of their own" will be the lead. They are really hoping they spend a good deal of time at the farm this season so that the girls can see they can have a great life living in Iowa with Chris.

HaHaHa ... I have nothing against farmers since my husband's family still farms and I've helped combine at times and know how hard the work can be. With that being said, I still think Chris the person is boring and just like I did with Brad 1, Ben, Sean and JPG I'll be skipping this one too.
