Bachelor 19 Poll - Arie or Chris

I don't think Arie has anything to hide. He's pretty much an open book. He knows people follow his every move, and while some may not agree with everything he does, he doesn't try to hide things.

I'm sure he will get skewered by RS, at the very least, but it won't be the first time. RS had a hate on for Arie before we ever saw him step out of the limo.

Arie would make for a great season of the show. He's got personality and charm in spades. Best season of this show I've ever watched, and not because of Emily. Great guy.

Also remember, last year, Jef Holm had Sean's endorsement for the next bachelor, so that may not be as golden as you think.

I wouldn't put it past TPTB to try to bring the old friends together to stir up drama.

I will be happy for those who want Arie, but I will be cringing waiting for them to screw him over like they did Ben and JPG.

Sean was just joking. He said Drew would have been good.

ITA.  ArIe has worked extremely hard on his racing the last 2 years.  he owns his own team and now has sponsors and companies behind him.  that means everything to him.  no way would he put himself out there as the bachelor if he was afraid there were TRUTHFUL stories that could damage that reputation and the relationship he has built with those sponsors.  there are going to be rumors no matter what but the majority of those are pretty one sided.  he is certainly not perfect but all of the "sources" on him of late have been completely Inaccurate.  he doesn't need to go on the show if all he wanted was a quick FlinG And he is certainly not going to go in there and make an ass of himself.

I don't really know why Arie would want to do it. He seems to have a good thing going and doesn't have to deal with Fleiss.

There is a tweet from Josh saying "LA here I come" and Chris tweeted back, see you there. Is a F3 usually at the AFR unless it's for an announcement? Really hoping it's Arie.

^I think several of the guys from this season will be on the ATFR. It's common to have contestants from the current season in the audience.

If Chris was going to be announced as the next Bach, he wouldn't be advertising his presence in LA for ATFR.

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.

That's exactly how I feel. In real life, I would stay the hell away from a guy like Arie. But, for a guilty reality television show? He is perfection. He's hot, he's funny, and he will bring the drama. I have no delusions that this show is going to change him from a player into a happily, monogamous married man. But, I really don't care!

And, I totally agree with the Chris thing. I know that we only see an edited version, but he seems equally boring on Twitter. I think that he's only the frontrunner because he's rich and nice; there's nothing really that appealing about him. I can't imagine people still talking about him 2 years from now, if he isn't the Bachelor.

I'm very neutral about Chris mainly because he (to me) didn't show very much emotion. He came across on tv as stoic (to me). I have a difficult time feeling connected to people who do not show much emotion. Maybe he'd be more animated as a lead, or maybe that's just his style.

I don't think so, it was in the media for a quick day or two at the time: “He’s funny, articulate, different and already has a large fan base,” Sean tells OK! about Jef. “I think the franchise needs a polarizing guy like Jef for a bounce back.”
