Chris Soules & Whitney Bischoff - Bachelor 19 - Discussion - #2

I respect the choosing no one a lot more than the fake romance for MF.  I always loved Brad for this and I will respect anyone else who does it as well.

I thought he was a douche the whole season and still think I was right.  He seemed less douchey with Becca, but maybe that was because Becca was the only one who didn't rush feelings so was really on the same level with Chris.  The rest of the ladies wanted to be "engaged".

BTW, I hope the sisters see how wrong they were. I didn't like them at all.

Yeah the DWTS videos kept getting weirder. Personally I'm never really shocked by the breakups, (even when I was rooting for them) maybe if these two had lasted a long time and actually combined their lives, but they were still in that stage of figuring it out.

We can blame the sisters, him not picking Becca, or whatever, but I think it's as simple as getting to know each other and realizing that you didn't even know each other. You know, like the dozens of couples before them.

This entire premise of having Chris S as TB was a joke from inception. IMOAA. Whoever did the storyboarding for him during MEandI's season needs to be tied to a post and flogged, IMOAA. 
We could have had Arie. A season of hot kisses. Instead we got thinned lipped hair plugged Chris Soules. Waste of time.

Awww... I love Arie too but I thought Chris was a decent guy and A much better bachelor than some of the players they have cast in the past. 

Kudos to all of you who predicted this was coming... I just didn't see it.

I think that this really goes to show how "conventional" analysis of body language and SM activity is pretty spot on. So many argued that they weren't touching/kissing because they were a mature couple or that Chris wasn't posting pictures of Whit because he was less SM-savvy or not as into the spotlight.

So true! Why not Arie?!? I'm upset at this revelation! Ugh.

Also, once again, sm is king! Off to go stalk Kait's sm just in case some more

This is actually quite spot on. I'm sure they are mature adults but that didn't make some of their behaviors any less weird and foretelling.

The only reason this never worked for me, was that Chris was very touchy feely with the other women, even Jade at WTA and Becca at AFTR, so why not with his fiance?

I think Chris was a jerk the whole time IMO. He was as big a player as any other bachelor.

I wonder if the straw that broke the camels back was when Kaitlyn said she had seen Chris naked. He may have denied anything happened and finally the truth came out.

I do think he became too acclimated to Hollywood and all the beautiful ladies.

well that was loooong overdue!

It does feel like a waste of a season kinda. They'd better not screw up their next pick.

Yup, exactly why I never bought the "mature"/"just not into PDA" defense. The guy himself talked about how important physical touch was in a relationship and couldn't even hold his girlfriend's hand when they were out in public? Come on. I totally do think that, if Jade hadn't done playboy and Becca was more into him, they would have been F2. His body language completely revealed that at the MTA and ATFR. Would those hypothetical couples have lasted any longer? I don't know, but at least those relationships would have been founded on strong mutual romantic feelings, which this was not (IMHO).

This is personally why I feel like it's silly to pick the lead due to who is truly looking for a wife and marriage! Especially when it comes to the men. You can just never tell who is going to be lead astray by the fame and attention. JP was made out to be such a player (and he probably was), but his relationship lasted longer than Andi and Chris's combined!
