Bachelor 19 - Chris Soules - Discussion - #3

Hosted by Chris Soules? He can't put two words together never mind two sentences.

What does the 90 minute show consist of I wonder?

When I clicked on the NY link it said "ninety minute show featuring Q & A, interviews, and fan fun"
The audience will probably have a lot of questions for their "fan favorites" JMO

Of course it's on Long Island and not in the city .

It seems like a money maker for the organizers but they will have to pay the guys and all their flights, hotels, etc.

Why does it seem like all of a sudden CS is everywhere? I don't get it. He's not even a success story.

I don't mind him so much as long as I forget the whole DWTS time. Also, I am curious to see what Dylan has been up to, so I hope we get some news from this about him and also Jared.

Ex 'Bachelor' Chris Soules Sorry, This Farmer ... Ain't Down with FarmersOnly.com

Just because Chris Soules didn't score a wife on "The Bachelor" ... doesn't mean he's searching for one on FarmersOnly.com -- according to a lawsuit he just filed.

Chris says a TV and web commercial for the site -- where farmers "don't have to be lonely" -- used his "persona" without his permission. The spot claimed Chris needed the site's help in the romance department because "he picked a city girl" while he was on a TV show.

Soules picked Whitney Bischoff on 'Bachelor,' but they famously broke up after a 6 month engagement.

Here's the odd thing ... the FarmersOnly ad never actually shows Chris' face, or says his name -- it's just a silhouette of a cowboy over the Hollywood sign, while a spokesman talks about the cowboy's love problems.

But as Chris says in his lawsuit ... he's "one of the most famous celebrities in the United States" -- so he and his attorneys think he's the lonely cowboy in the FarmersOnly ad.

Chris wants all the money the site made off "his" commercial, plus damages.

Thank you, Chris. I really needed that laugh.

What in the actual hell? Geez he really does have a big head. This is a joke right?

As much as I can't stand the guy, did they really use his name or photo without permission to market their site? What exactly is 'his persona?' Ugh. He really won't just go away.

OMG I've seen that commercial and immediately knew they were poking fun! They didn't even mention him by name just something about that farmer on a reality show can't recall the whole thing atm. "one of the most famous"?   Good luck with that lawsuit Chris!

This is what Gossip Cop says about it. It doesn't sound like they used his actual name or photo to me. Just that it was clearly poking fun at him.

There’s one hitch for Soules, who remains unhitched. Not once in the online commercial did FarmersOnly use Soules’ name or likeness. It did, however, note that a farmer who was on a TV show needed help finding love and would have if he had used FarmersOnly. The one-time “Bachelor” claims in his court papers filed in L.A. Superior Court that the TV show mention, as well as the ad’s use of a silhouetted cowboy in front of the Hollywood sign, clearly refer to him and misappropriate his right of publicity because he’s “one of the most famous celebrities in the United States.”
