I think Sean was less popular than Arie and Jef, but as much as Chris? I know MTA with Sean, everyone looooved him. It was so hard not to! I guess like someone had mention, no one will probably match up to Sean and partially I think because I thought Sean had some really great girls, more-so than Juan Pablo's girls. So I hope Chris does the best he can and maybe his season won't be as boring. I'm not sold on his girls yet, either.

When I compare their popularity in their respective seasons, it seems about the same although Sean became very popular once he was kicked off as evidenced by the reaction at the MTA that season. But his thread was much less popular than Arie and Jef's were. I spent most of my time there to avoid the board wars brewing as did most other people. But it was widely said on here that Sean couldn't carry his own season and it wouldn't be good. I feel like many have said the same about Chris. I hope to be pleasantly surprised by his season and a happy outcome.

But Sean wasn't hidden nearly as much as Chris.  Also Sean's 1:1 date was much later in the season.  I hope to be wrong, but I still question the lack of air time for a future lead.  They knew the whole season that Chris was likely to be the next lead, so why not highlight him much more?

Possibly, but there is a difference between being iowa rich and malibu beach house rich. His future wife ain't gonna be getting that great a deal as TPTB are trying to make it seem.

As an Iowa born Illinois resident, I have to take a little offense to the concept that "Iowa rich"  is somehow inferior to California rich. (this isn't meant as a personal attack against Sara11--please don't take it as such) However, being wealthy in Iowa means that your money goes further. Chris's house, although not lavish]

Sorry mtnlvr55, I in no way meant to make "iowa rich" seem inferior or make any comparisons! I actually live in SAfrica so was just using Malibu as an example of a place that I knew was one of the more wealthy, urban areas in the US. What I meant is that TPTB are promoting him as this "multi-million dollar rich" guy. To me when someone is described as that I assume they must live a lavish lifestyle - which as you said is not the case for Chris - so I just think its slightly OTP that they are promoting him as such.

I don't know how to screen cap but it looks like some major stuff goes down in South Dakota. I think it involves Jade but the film is dark so I can't tell for sure. It looks like she sneaks into Chris's tent and they kiss--more--who knows, but the girls are upset about it for sure.

Without a doubt he is into Jade and Kaitlyn Bristowe, also Britt.
His kiss count is also going to be quite high.

Thanks for posting! There are so many blondes, I can't tell the difference - is the girl at 1:25 Whitney? And oh my is Whitney's voice so cartoonish!!
