I'm going to go with poor reaction to a weird situation in which he has stronger feelings for her than he thought he would have going into it.

That was a very good read. Chris, in my opinion, is the most mature and well put together guy in the house. I'm rooting hard for him the rest of the season and if he's the next bachelor. Reading his thoughts on both Nick and Josh was very interesting.

Agreed!!

[Alanna]

I just loveeeee Chris. Next Bachelor, please!!! They need him after JPG mess.

Nick is reminding me more and more of Reid. They would have had fun together but it would have ended in one killing the other. Josh is much better equipped for Andi and Andi is a much more suitable fit for Josh (a man whose mom and sis are her virtual clones in younger and older versions) than she is for Nick, who needs a serious/put together woman like Sharleen.

That was great! Surprised he even had an interview!?? I thought Chris did a great job at being very diplomatic! Even saying "good for him" about Nick getting to console Andi.

I really respect Chris. Seems to have a good head on his shoulders, and yes that was a good read. One thing I find interesting is I felt they focused more on Nick calling Cody Mr Thankful than for gloating or being cocky. Just seems like focusing on the later would have painted a much worse light on him because I thought the whole Cody vs Nick argument to be silly, the Mr Thankful part that is.

I don't think Nick is a bad guy I just don't think this is his best environment

Yes to the bold. And he had a stronger connection with Andi than Chris. It's like so obvious to all unspoiled people that this is will be Josh v. Nick in the end.

Yes to the bold.  And he had a stronger connection with Andi than Chris.  It's like so obvious to all unspoiled people that this is will be Josh v. Nick in the end.

Per the TV show. We have no clue what is going on off camera or how great everybody's "mime" act is.

These lines don't sound like he was "dumped" or feels "dumped" if it happened, although he tries his best to keep it all "in time" with the episodes we have seen.

And I know that as I continue to stay in the show -- or if I continue to stay in the show -- as our relationship becomes more involved and closer to, potentially, getting to that point where we're thinking in that direction really seriously of, "This could be forever," I know it's something on her mind [and] it's on mine.

Because I think, in my mind and heart, I'd know that I can do those things, you know, I can compromise.  I'm willing to make those compromises, and, hopefully, she will be too.

But as we go forward, it's definitely something that I think is weighing heavily on both of our minds.

... and this line makes no sense at all to me. It is as if he views the other relationships as some sort of TV performance... or something...

But I want her to know that she has real feelings for me, and once we get to that point, that's when I think those conversations would happen.

Anybody could be F1 at this point. Bottom line, we have to see if Josh, Nick, Marcus or even Brian do an interview and compare and contrast what all they say about her.

Good thing: this isn't an interview about "Juan and I not having sex in the ocean"... LOL!

It is very rare that F1s do interviews at this stage, but it was done by Emily in Brad's season and JP after episode #6 in Ashley's.

Here is JP's done when Ryan Park, Ben, Lucas, Ames and Constantine were still on the show. Keep in mind that he had a date with Ashley in this episode. All of his "shock" concerns Ashley's addiction to Bentley when he made his comeback this episode. By contrast, Chris is still Find Waldo on the show and the bulk of his interview is about the other guys.

I actually liked Chris's non answers to the questions. Way to avoid giving a direct answer. I think his answers are well-crafted to keep the bromances of the season intact. I can see him as a well-hidden f1 or a didn't get off the ground enough f3/future bachelor. Looking forward to see how it plays out. Oh you nasty tptb, you hooked me and reeled me in again

Oh JBF, you do give me hope! I was really surprised that Chris did this interview, the same as I was for JP to do that video message.

Maybe they released this now because of the upcoming drama with JJ.? Maybe they're trying to get Chris "out there" and prepped for the next lead? But of all the guys why interview someone that has had the least air time as of now???
