BACHELOR 19 - CHRIS SOULES -**NO SPOILERS* - *SLEUTHING* - *ScreenCaps* - DISCUSSION

thank you so much Litta

FYI, I started posting SC from hour 2 of episode 2, but am now running out of energy...so I'm going to finish in the morning. Just in case you were wondering what happened to the rest of the caps.

Are we sure that ship girl isn't Carly?  He looks pretty into her in this sc.... and her hair has lots of different lengths to it, and so does the girl on the boat.  Whitney's hair seems to be pretty much all one length to me.  Also, Carly is Zak's sister (Desiree's season) so maybe just having that in common might give her advantage??  just throwing that out there, but you guys might have figured something else out due to different sc's and I'm just not aware  

also, she's the other girl that he has his arm around during M&G photo of him and the girls. Not that that's always significant but in some seasons the F1 was right beside lead in that first group photo.

^^Personally, I do think the blonde is between Carly and Whitney. I lean towards Whitney because she was so heavily featured in the premiere. Carly OTOH was not. That said, I'm not 100% sure. It's one of the reasons I haven't made a case for Whitney. I want to be convinced before I put in the time.

Becca also wasn't very present in episode 1. Would two of the F3 be so hidden in the premiere? Even in episode 2, Carly was hardly shown. Becca, though we don't see much (any?) interaction between her and Chris and rarely see her speak, was heavily shown in the episode 2. I will be uploading those caps shortly. Anyway, this is why I'm shying away from Carly. She's too much in the background.

I have a feeling Chris is going to meander his way through the girls, so I guess anything is possible. I think MacKenzie and Megan are both MOT girls...so wasted dates in episode 2 as far as sleuthing F1 is concerned. Where did the editing focus as far as other girls? IIRC, it was Ashley I (extra special time and awkward kissing), Kaitlyn (featured conversation and GDR), Britt (featured conversation and special gift from Chris) and Whitney (special date at cocktail party). I'm not counting the focus on the crazy and drunks. That was purely for reeling in the mockers.

Carly appears to have extensions. I'm seeing a different blond streaks toward the bottom of her hair which just doesn't seem natural, even for a dye job.

Does Whitney have different lengths to her hair the way boat girl does? I don't think she does, and neither does Meghan.

I finished posting the rest of episode 2. This is my favorite capture. I'm so tempted to turn her into my avatar.



I have a few thoughts, but I'm going to take a break from this for the afternoon.

This is my favorite sc.... Chris's Angels

Remember this cap from the November preview?



Her dress matches the one Britt wore last night.





This is also from last night's episode. In the show after this close up (below), we see it cut to another girl...like Britt is talking to her. I wonder instead if Britt is really talking to a production guy. It makes me wonder if Britt will crack under all the pressure of watching Chris with the other girls. We sure see different points in the preview where she is upset (crying on the curb as well as an emotional ITM). I wonder what the snapping point is -- either for her or for Chris?



Certainly episode 2 puts Britt as a frontrunner. Chris seems so smitten with her. Beyond him giving her a gift in the episode and their obvious chemistry during their alone time, we see his attention caught on her a couple of times throughout the evening. Here is Chris with the girls after the zombie hunting. Notice his attention is exactly on Britt when the toast is given. She's off camera, but you can see that's where Britt is sitting if you watch the full playback.



His attention never leaves her.



At the end, before the GDR is handed out, Chris continues to focus attention on her. Notice where Chris is looking fits the position where Britt is sitting (second cap).





Anyway, I'm pretty convinced that Britt is gone by the F3. I don't see her as a match for one of our girls. It may be that we have a late entry into the F1 race...perhaps this is where Becca comes in.

One more thing, if you go by who is the lead chasing, clearly right now it's Britt. I do see Chris showing some signs of chasing Kaitlyn with their time in episode 2. He does seems quite shy around her. She's probably more than he's used to in terms of being out there. Whitney's chasing Chris, not the other way around. In terms of Becca, I see no significant interest either way. More or less, the same can be said for Carly. Who else do we think is important? Jade? Her PIs show her interest, but so far, I haven't seen much from Chris towards her. Ashley I is clearly chasing Chris...and giving me the creeps while she does. Anyone else?

Ashley I (the girl with the long fake eyelashes) is giving me the creeps as well. I don't believe the virgin story at all and am worried that CH was trying to hint that she reached the FD. Ugh !
Britt is clearly the front runner as of episode 2. I too do believe that she will crack at some point just  because the FIR and the first 1on1 date girls always do.

The preview showed the Fertility nurse a bit and I definitely heard her nasal voice. Becca was pretty obvious - not sure if that was on a 1on1 date or if she goes really far in the season. So far I have yet to see anything between her and Chris.
The short haired girl and kaitlyn were pretty obvious in the previews as well, though I am not overly fond of Kaitlyn. She is a bit too snarky for me, making fun of the girls limo arrivals and then promptly getting Chris to start break dance. Nice.
I would think that Megan and another 2 blonde girls get more screen time perhaps it is Zac Ws sister and the fertility nurse. Personally I liked Megan with Chris on their 1on1 date but cannot make out if she makes it far on the season. She is the first 1on1 date after all and is bound to start cracking soon.


Can you SC the girl that Chris was kissing with the sun blindingly behind them from the Preview please ? Has she been Id'ed ?

ETA : What was up with CH on the red carpet asking anyone that he could shove a mike to their face if they liked Britt ? Has he ever done something like that before ?

^^Yeah, nd, I believe those caps are of Becca. Read page 5 of this thread. I made several posts as to why I think Becca could be the F1. My reasons are explained in the posts...and I explain why I think those caps specifically are of Becca.

Actually, I used what you taught me last year about the F1 being hidden in the preview. I'm using my "anti-Clare" theory this year. If the girl is thrown in our face, then she's not the F1. Watch, this year, it will be a total reversal!

Btw, I'm glad you're back. I always enjoy bouncing around theories with you.

ETA: nd, could it be that TPTB are testing the waters for Britt to be The Bachelorette? She's gorgeous, for sure. Or, maybe, they want the audience to buy in that she's F1...much like they did with Clare at the start of last season.

Also, ladybug, thanks for dropping the week 3 pics in our no discussion thread. Much appreciated!

FYI, I'm watching episode 2 right now.

What is BKG?

^^BKG = Bridge Kissing Girl. This one...
