With every season of The Bachelor comes a whole new slew of drama.

And though Chris Soules may be the most humble Bachelor yet, even he couldn't escape the backstabbing, the fighting and the tears.

"Later on after feelings got real and things started to get more intense, there were a few instances where I found out that maybe one or two of the girls weren't being completely honest with everyone and weren't well-liked in the house," the farmer, 33, tells PEOPLE exclusively about his season, which premieres Jan. 5 on ABC.

Trying to use his "best judgment" to see if the women were just trying to stir up trouble by coming to him, he says, "For the most part it always felt like they were really trying to help me. I think in most cases, they wanted to help me make good decisions."

One of the girls, who will be "the most talked-about girl on the show for quite some time," is hair stylist Ashley Salter, according to host Chris Harrison.

"Ashley's the girl [that] when she comes out of the limo and the first couple of episodes, you're going to feel like she has it all," he explains. "She has the spirit, the good looks, the charm … but then the girls, especially, see another side."

Though it's yet to be seen what sort of trouble Salter brings to the mansion, it sounds like there was no shortage of dramatic nights for Soules.

"One of the girls I had sent home actually came back during one of the cocktail parties after a group date," he says of one particular instance. "She said she had driven like seven hours to see me … I felt bad for her."

According to a source close to the show, Soules also takes a virgin ("I think it's honorable," he says of the woman's choice to remain abstinent) into the infamous fantasy suite.

"It was pretty dramatic," says the insider. "There were still other girls in the mix and it was unclear if she was going to be 'the one.' "

For the Bachelor with a heart of gold, the toughest part of his journey was breaking hearts.

"Starting to have feelings for multiple women got really, really hard to deal with," he says. "Sending them home when they weren't even ready or not knowing if I was making the right decision towards the end … I found out I'm a little bit of a crier."

From the People article quoted above

They are doing their own "spoiling " this season.

I snipped the start of the article out to shorten my post - the bolded is interesting.  Wonder who of the final 3 is openly waiting for marriage or Mr. Right.  It must be Becca or Whitney as I'd assume not K???? with her dirty jokes right out of the gate and her sm.  That's pretty unusual for one of the final 2 girls on reality tv, so I'm interested to watch who goes through this whole crazy thing being open about those values and the fact that it doesn't make Chris lose interest is a plus for him, IMO.

TPTB will probably be horrible about milking such a personal issue though.

Not the first time the primary has taken a "virgin" to the final three.  During the Prince's season Sadie was one of the F2 and had said right from the get go that she was a virgin.  I seem to remember that they "milked it" then too.

I can not remember a season where the was less promo and interest, so maybe they have to throw some crumbs out there to help spark interest.

According to Chris on his five to watch, the Virgin is Ashley Iaconetti...don't think she made it to F3. Unless they had two virgins.

^ Yeah, I thought that too when I just read the article. I'm guessing perhaps Ashley is more open to talking about it and the person in the F3 isn't considering CH is already playing the virgin card with Ashley, but not one of the other girls. From a few articles I read a couple of years ago, Lindsay Yenter from Sean's season was waiting until marriage also due to her faith, but yet we never saw any of that during the season. I guess it's possible to not have everything out there during the season and certain things can be kept quiet and just between you and the lead.

If this "source" is correct, and it's not to draw some interest in the show, that someone in the F3 is a virgin and RS is correct about the F3, you sure as heck know it's not Kaitlyn it would have to be Whitney or Becca.
