Bachelor 19 Poll - Arie or Chris

I would prefer an interesting season. I really don't care if the lead ends up happily ever after with their chosen ones or not. Most of them don't anyway. NBD.

Chris is just super boring. For that matter everyone in Andi's season is boring except perhaps Josh. IMO of course.

Outside of this board I doubt there is much interest for Arie among the general viewership. Time for him to move on. If chosen it would be a default because no one else said yes, IMO. :hidingchair 

Chris would be a breathe of fresh air and more of a Sean in terms of serious intention.  Like Sean, I suspect there is alot to Chris that was not shown this season.  My vote is for him unconditionally.

ITA...    I want someone ready to settle down with some maturity. We have to see more of Chris.....there is so much more to him that we didn't get to see. Loved his family, great hometown, seems to be well liked by the guys and Andi. We have seen Arie go around the block and back it's time for someone new. Please go with Chris!!!  

ITA Rolly and Northstargirl...time to move on....On the Bachelorette FB page, a lot expressed that they wanted Chris as the new Bachelor... and so do I...hoping TPTB will seized this opportunity to bring a bit of new "farmer" style date activities...

If what RS says is true about Chris already hooking up with Bachnation girls, not so sure he's ready to settle down, or shown maturity.

Chris would be Sean 2.0, except Chris is more boring than Sean. Never have I seen a season where the majority of the men were cat fighting with each other; throwing hissy fits, back biting according to Chris at the MTA, which he was doing himself about Nick.

Arie IMO has nothing to bring to the table either so maybe they would be better to go with Marquel. I will never be able to look at Arie without thinking about him in that blue tshirt with his nipples stuck out like rockets ready to fire. I wish I could bring the pic here.

What did RS say about Chris? He said something about Sean and that crazy girl (Jenna?) and that ended up being, what, just a kiss if that?

I'm sure he's been in contact with past contestants, wouldn't surprise me at all.

I just find Chris to be more believable if we're talking about settling down and marriage. Though Arie would be a hoot to watch.

In his video chat last night RS said Chris has "hooked up" with several girls from the franchise already. I don't know what the definition of "hooking up" is though. And yeah Sean and Jenna kissed at a charity event that summer before filming started.

I too find Chris move believable. While I don't mind Arie, I don't think I could buy him as looking for anything more than a quick fling.

I liked Sean but think it's would be nice to have a completely different type of guy this time. I'd much prefer Marquel, Arie, or whichever guy is the f2 over Chris. We barely saw him early in the season and he's a little too earnest & ho hum for me.

That's another thing. If they had their eye on him, why was he so hidden? Now I'm thinking what a waste of F3. Nice guy, and originally I was ok with the thought of him being the Bachelor, but not since MTA and his outburst. I sort of felt his first outburst was staged, but gave him the benefit of the doubt.

I'm wondering if the reason we did not see so much of Chris during the season is because they had to edit out a lot of that Chris in order to sell the Chris they wanted us to see for the next TB. 
It could be the Chris we saw on the MTN is the same Chris filmed during the  season and a lot of that behavior had to be edited out.  Just throwing this out there.

Except everyone said that Chris was one of the sweetest guys in the house (Chris H, Andi and later, Andi's friend Kelly) I don't think they had to edit out much.  He's a good mid-western guy who stands up for what he thinks isn't fair. Not everyone understands that mindset, but it is a common factor in the Midwest. We'll go along with a lot of stuff, by in large we are friendly, helpful and polite but put something in front of us that isn't fair and we are liable to get our backs up. You won't see this as much in Chicago where Nick is from but you do see it in Iowa, Nebraska, Wisconsin, MN and downstate IL for sure.
In my job, I deal with people all over the country, although you can never say "everyone" is the same in certain regions there are certainly tendencies in areas in the country. Chris is pretty typical of farm kids (a bit wild in their youth due to boredom and upstanding and hardworking once they take over the farm duties.) Oh, yeah, they are kind of stubborn sometimes (could be what we have seen in his sticking up for what he thinks is wrong.) 

I get it. I lived in Columbia, Mo from ages 18-34. And that is how it is. But it doesn't always come across great. I'm living proof. So I do wonder if it was edited out and what we got was what we got.
