Bachelor 19 - Chris Soules - Episode 3 - *Spoilers & Sleuthing* - Discussion

It would certainly be spectacular if both F2 girls turned him down and that is why he was back on his farm for FRC time and ploughing those fields within 24hrs. Aaaah, wishing thinking.

Episode 3
= Wedding Crashing
= pretending and stating to camera "Engaged to Chris Soules"
= Chris saying "wife" in reference Whitney
= Bridal bouquet toss that Whitney misses and brings up she wants to catch bouquet
= Whitney stating that this will be the greatest love story ever if she is with Chris at the end
= Chris in his recap blog stating they pretended to be "engaged" and then extending an invitation to Shannon+Nick whose wedding they crashed that they will be invited to his wedding if he gets married after all this

Episode 4
= Whitney on group date wearing a wedding dress

Episode ? (takes place in Des Moines  with mural of Whitney with Chris holding/looking at each other and her meeting Chris's friends? at Roca)
= Whitney is given a bridal bouquet (in lieu of roses? or harkening back to Episode 3's wedding crashing and no bouquet caught?)

It is difficult for me to pinpoint the wedding theme edit and use it as a comparison to past seasons because Whitney has stated in her bio she prefers to chase her man and Chris comes across like he prefers to follow rather than traditionally/overtly 'chase'. However, I don't really compare Bach to 'Ette as much because it is the man that 'leads' in the end, chases so to speak, whether he is the lead or a contestant. (Brooks was not chasing Des).

So rather than edit, I go with whom the lead is chasing? For Chris, he is a passive lead(er) so it is more the small things and how excited he reacts to someone.

I noticed that his initial excitement with Britt already has waned and his excitement with Whitney has increased. His photos with Jade at the football game he was not excited about her at the level has been with Britt and Whitney and the photos of him with Whitney after showing her the mural his excitement was off the charts, imo, for his passive nature (who knows... maybe even then he had been drinking, haha). I will say the mural date with Whitney was the first photo and video clip I saw where he comes across as a more tradition lead(er) that is 'chasing'. His video footage/photos of him with Becca around this time he was not as into her as she was into him (BL). Just my observation.

The wedding theme with Whitney is interesting. I have re-watched the Whitney date 3 to 4 times. There is no question that Chris fell for Whitney during that date. He was definitely "all in" with his body language and his spoken words. What I also found interesting is that he and Whitney both talked about their date in at least two different backgrounds. (pretty sure Chris was in Santa Fe for one of his bsed on the adobe fireplace behind him) Same clothes but in one, Chris's tie is loose and in the other it is back in its normal position. I didn't notice if Whitney's hair is different and I couldn't tell where she was when she said "Chris Soules and I are engaged." If we had side by side screen caps we might be able to figure it out.
