"I was just concerned about whether your family would accept me or not." Those are not words that would make me question where I stand.

JMO.

Isn't that typical though.....the producers have to step up other people's connection to give a viable ending?  Meaning, if they didn't do that, then everyone would know that it's a one horse race with Lyndsey and therefore, why watch?  I have seen that so many times so just wondering if it's happening with Mikaela as the F2 yet again?

On one hand I hope you are right and Lyndsey is f1 because I actually really like Lyndsey so much more than mikaela but I just can’t shake Lyndsey’s SM IMO she seems so sad ...

Just a random thought- I  wonder if Lyndsey might still walk away from Chris and hence why he picked mikaela as default...and maybe mikaela found out hence the break up   sorry that is probably such a wild theory but hey I just can’t understand this spoiler

Aunties_Love wrote:IMO @BlackHalo, Mikaela was way in the distance and hidden till epi 6.  In epi 4 she was shown a little but epi 6 she shot ahead....just in time for how the edit usually goes...make a relationship out of the F2/F3 person to take the heat off the F1.  That is how so many seasons have gone.

As far as the spoiler, I am having a hard time reckoning it to what we are seeing in the edit, SM  clues, Stat's clues, and just the general edit.  The spoiler IMO only makes sense if it is one of Mikaela's fans sending RS the info....for all we know, it could be the same person who did the tweet.  I just can't recon Chris telling anyone the ending as he'd be in a major legal hotwater problem.  I just can't see himself opening up to that.

LynnTa wrote:From what I saw the connection between Chris and Mik was there right fro the beginning --from night one. Chris has said that in every episode since then even in those episodes where Mik isn't highlighted. Epi. 2 Chris talks about their Chemistry  like flame that would turn into fire.  I think that is proof enough.   Episode 4 just put the spotlight on their chemistry  that was already there and epi. 6 it was on display since that was her 1:1.  Chris describes their relationship as being on an"" upward trajectory": he said being with Mik" felt right"   and that their relationship had a funny playful  almost like best friend side and the other side was romantic and passionate.In Epi6 that he was looking forward to passionate ,romantic side .  &  Chris saying he is concerned about whether Mik's family will like him is very telling. We have seen from past seasons that the Lead worries about being accepted/liked by the the F1's family. They didn't show us Chris as having the same concerns with Ly &  Catie.
With Lyn, yes he finds her very attractive and "very young". I haven't heard  Chris talk about his relationship with her making any progress  other than kissing . (In the case of kissing, Chris is kissing everyone anyway....).He still talks about her age the same convo they had Epi.2 on the 1st date. Even bringing it up on Epi.7. I'm sure they talked about other things but the Producers chose not to show us--Why? is it because it doesn't any value to their story or because the producers want to "hide" their love
story ?
As for Lyn getting anxious, I think its because she sees "him falling in love with other girls" & she has given him his heart and isn't getting any assurance from him (imo). I think she feels he isn't giving her positive feedback  like he did with Mik. Her angst is coming from the not knowing how Chris feels. From past seasons we know that the Lead gives the F1 assurances, little gestures,signs,positive feedbacks---without having to say the words. Chris has been talking about his feelings for Mik and wanting to let her
know how he feels. AJMO
Anyway the good thing about this is--viewers can choose which love story they want to see --  -that's the beauty of this Forum!!

So true!

I guess its all about how each girl is receiving and assessing the feed back they are getting from Chris. For some, like Mik she seems satisfied(for now) with what Chris is giving her and maybe  that's why she appears to be confident in their relationship.
Lyn, in Epi. 7 doesn't look like she has much confidence in the relationship which made me think that she wasn't getting enough of the positive feedback that she needs-- JMO

This is exactly the way I see it. And if we wanna compare prior seasons, I feel like many of the F1's don't really show any doubt until the final 3 or final 2, when it is closer to the ultimate decision. That is unless they are already getting the jealous edit, Lyndsey just acts like she isn't getting the reassurance or producers have chosen not to show it. You can even see on Mikaela's face when Chris comes and sits down with them. She is calm and happy compared to Lyndsey and Stacey. It's like she knows she's getting a hometown date. JMO.
