Bachelor Canada - Season 3 - Chris Leroux - Episode Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

Sprite wrote:I don't think it matters if a conflict is fabricated or not. To me what matters is that there is one. If they don't have one....yes, they manufacture something stupid, but if they have a built in one, then they go with that.

Similarly if a lead is attracted to someone great. They will show that or parts of that, but if the lead isn't into someone, they edit around it to create the attraction....music, romantic dates, showing kissing, etc. For me, at this point in time the only ones he is into are Lyndsay and Michaela. Everyone else is MOT including Jessie who is another person they are pushing somewhat now....even though to me they are like buddies.

The difference that I personally see between his edited attraction to Lyndsay and Michaela is that the stuff that I see with Michaela is stuff I have seen numerous times with numerous leads and numerous contestants....kiss against a wall, fireworks, etc. The things that I have seen with Lyndsay is very specific to her only. The hands prints on her butt, grabbing her to pull her back to him to kiss him as they are walking to go talk somewhere, the sheer frustration because she is younger than he wants. Those speak to me of spontaneity and were left in the edit to tell their story, where as the other seems more manufactured to create the effect that producers want.

Each day cost money to pay the crew and everything. I think this is why also they could not wait to have a sunny day for the FRC...

butterflies.... probably coincidences but of course i relate to the time mik spent with chris in the butterflies diamant animal place.... and the butterfly seat she took a pic early after her return. who knows, maybe claire just love butterflies.

I do not think we can call it fact yet. You have solid argument I have to give you that but I will not bet my money on june 2. I think there are still 1 or 2 days we could add.

Fact is that nobody was there to know exactly when the pic was taken (couch). considering both girls used the SAME couch. they probably took turn.

anyway... who cares really. FRC took place first week of june and that is that.

I care about who is top 2.

We'll have to agree to disagree. And not every F1 has an obstacle. There are outliers. An obstacle does not tell me Lyndsey is F1. It just doesn't. JMO.

not being able to express his feelings IS an obstacle IMO. Why would the obstacle comes from the girls only. It can be HIS issue...

Not being able to express his feeling applies to all the women, so to me, while that is an obstacle for Chris, it is not an obstacle specifically for Chris and Michaela. Meanwhile, Lyndsay's age is specific to him and her.

are we REALLY trying to find something specific to each girl? because for me it is a bit MOT. The guy will repeat affecionate gestures to both because he is physically attracted to both

i bet if mikaela had the aphrodisiac date, he would have put his hand on her butt too... he did it already

so not sure what we are trying to prove here.. he is physically attracted to both, no question asked.

I have no idea if any of the other girls did it. I don't recall. It doesn't matter to me because my point was what is he going to do when she comes at him like that?

I'm not trying to prove anything. I am just expressing what I think the differences are between his behaviour toward Lyndsay and Michaela. All the affectionate gestures you listed remind me of Season 2 when the same type of things were listed as why Trish was F1. I disagreed then and I disagree now. I guess we will just have to agree to disagree until we see the finale.

He certainly didn't mind it.

IMO, the only thing this tells me is he is very physically attracted to her. I could also make a case for things that were specific to Brittany and she's gone now. He has also said and done things with Mikaela that are specific to her. In the very last episode no less. Does it only count when it's Lyndsey...

ahem....

can anyone check mikaela but and tell me if she has a clean but or if he put his hands there





my sc

To me, that monkey jump is pretty standard. In the US version practically everyone who makes it to the F4 does it. In one of the screen caps you posted before he grabbed her like that it looked like she was running at him like a football player about to tackle an opponent. I wish they would all stop doing it. It just screams fake to me.
