Chris Soules - Bachelorette 10 Contestant - Spoilers - Discussion

Hmmm, I didn't know that we had sleuthed out the F1. Guess I missed that along the way?? I know RS has his thoughts, but until we have absolutely eliminated any of the F4, as far as I am concerned, they are all in the race.

Otherwise, they did it on purpose. IF... IF... IF... he is F1, perhaps the connection was too obvious to production and they decided to hide "IT" until later?

Because we don't have sc's or video clips of Josh's supposed second date, could it actually be Chris getting it?? Keeping in mind that in the past of this show, bach and ette, anyone getting a date in epi 2 always gets another individual date if they reach the top 4. It has been this way since Jakes and Jillian's seasons.

Not even bothering to debate whether or not Chris gets another 1:1 since it may not even matter. All of these guys are battling it out for roses and "time", making me think both Andi and production are allowing the guys to be fooled by their own egos. This season, the Elephant In The Room is The Rose... Brian named it in episode #1 and Marcus in episode #4. Marcus was even spooked by it. In Desiree's season, Mike G. thought The Elephant was James not being here for "the right reasons", but the editors gave us the hint in episode #6 Barcelona by having the cameraman focus on a writer's desk as Mike discussed it; that is, the real Elephant the guys were overlooking. Simply put, Des confirmed to Chris he was The One in a poem, which the guys didn't know about but viewers saw on TV and STILL stayed focused on Brooks for several more weeks... and following Antigua Boo-Hoo. (Yeah, she was upset about him leaving, but she kept repeating she was "enjoying being in the moment" with him a lot too.)

I bombed with two Bachelor seasons since I never could get a good "read" on their body language and struggled with two earlier 'ette seasons on account of the curve-ball of a boomeranging F1 (Ed) and too much editor focus on a F2 (Chris Lambton). Perhaps this season will also be a bomb for me, but... as it stands now... Chris is the only one "reading" Final One to me. I can't explain exactly "why". Her behavior around him on that date was so different than the others. She did question why he wasn't "snatch up already", but otherwise has been saving all of her 100% praise for each of the other guys... as if they are still on the market and she is selling them to us. They are pumping up all of the "heat" with each one. Even though Josh was not shown with her in episode #4, abc.com made sure an extract of the two smooching was included as an extra.

Something is not right because he has not been shown alone with Andi at all since his 1 on 1 date in episode 2. It's like he is being buried in the background for some reason - camera shots of him so you know he is really there but no Andi time.   

Precisely... ha ha!

We always get shots of all final four with the lead episode after episode. Sometimes one gets skipped in one episode... and this does include F1 at times (i.e. Siegfried just got "sliver" shots with Des in episodes #1 and #2, while Roberto was only seen with Ali in her episode #6 fleetingly during the Justin "Rated R" drama... and, of course, Ed was literally gone part of Jillian's). Yet this is getting ridiculous. With Josh getting the "deleted" extract at abc.com, now three of the "soiled" four are covered... again... in every episode since the start, while Chris is once again Find Waldo for the second episode in a row. His solo hug with Andi was over her "heartbreak" speech regarding the losing basketball team.

Eric accused her of having a Poker Face and... oooof!... I have to agree with him. Is it my imagination, but does she look the same in each PI session discussing each guy? Her facial expressions are the same. Needless to say, her saying Brian is "hot" over his basketball slam dunking looked so... well... weird. Now somebody can correct me here, but has she had any PI sessions about Chris apart from her "I'm so happy" and "I want to look back after 55 years" talk in the green dress that are "ITM" (in that moment)?

You know... I'm just throwing in the towel this season. There are way too many Easter Eggs involving Chris, too much effort making him "hidden", way too many shots of him with Eric before he left (clearly connecting him with The "Dedicated" Star more than any other contestant), etc. Oh something is up, I tell ya.

That's Andi's go to saying... 'he's hot'. That's just about it!

Anyone ask her who had the hottest body from the strip date?

Yep TPTB are having a heyday with this season.

Opps!  Sorry I totally missed this.  I love me some Matthew McConaughey, he was at UT the same time I was (nope, never met or saw him 50,000 people and all).

Rolly, love ya girl, but I have heard Iowa is a hard place to be single, at least that is what the postdocs I have met there have told me.  That being said as a cell biologist they have one of the best low cost antibody banks there for research, so go Iowa (State of course - still got to cheer for the Big 12!).  

I grew up in Cedar Rapids and thought Iowa City was the coolest city around. I didn't stay in Iowa though and believe me living now in Minnesota I have heard more than my share of Iowa jokes.    I do feel bad for Chris, he seems like a great guy and deserves to find love. Would be nice to see someone as lead from the mid-west though....has there ever been one? Maybe that would be Chris' big chance for love, he just has to find someone willing to move to Iowa.  :Woah-hoo:

Aaron, the second bachelor was from Missouri, is that midwestern?  I seriously don't know, it kind of seems like Kansas and Missouri are a bit of an island in the middle of the US.

I would classify Kansas and Missouri as the midwest.  

I have always lived in the Southeast or Texas so I am clueless, though I grew up on the midwestern coast of FL    (the gulf coast of FL is full of transplanted midwesterners). I even know what a Michigander is, I was so happy when I heard a girl from Michigan call herself that, I get strange looks whenever I say it.

So Rolly as a midwestern girl, can you see Andi settling in the midwest, either IA or Chicago? I don't see it, but again I don't love Andi, so I might not read her right.

I am growing to love Chris, so much like Josh, I really hope that MeAndi doesn't pick him. I am starting to want a Josh & Chris co-bachelor season. I know I am delusional, but until the end of this season I can live in fantasy land!

^As a life long Midwestern as well, I can't see Andi settling in the Midwest other than maybe Chicago or Minneapolis. But the winters can be so brutal that a southern girl like her may find that hard to deal with. So no, I can't see her moving and settling down up here.

As to moving vs job,if 2 people really want to keep their relationship then there will be compromises. Supposing Andi & Chris fell in love, I could see her relocating but NOT giving up her profession. IT SOUNDS LIKE Chris is tied to the farm year-round as he has a large hog operation. There must be a few law practices nearby or given his financial status, he might assist her in setting up her own.

I am sure that she could do something with law in IA. I just don't see the Andi we have seen being happy in the midwest and in a smaller city.

Well, there are compromises that need to be made in a relationship no matter where, how formed, and what you want out of it.

For example, maybe Andi compromises and moves to Iowa. Chris compromises and hires someone to look after the daily operations of the farm and moves to one big city in Iowa with Andi. KNowing it doesn't take long to get to Des Moines from the farm, he's close enough to tackle problems...she gets her law practice back, he's close to his family.... Wonder if that would work??
