BlackHalo wrote:Just some more thoughts about the last episode coupled with the RS spoiler. This is what I think happened (if the spoiler is true)...

Mikaela is very adamant about wanting to be engaged to Chris. Not just date him. She says "I want to be with you at the end not because we have the strongest connection but because I'm the girl of your dreams". In the preview for next week "I deserve someone who is sure about me"... These things were kept in for a reason.

Now if Lyndsey was Chris' true F1 and he let her go because of her (IMO) difficult family, then we have Chris saying in the season teaser "Maybe I'm scared to fall in love" "I've been scared but I can't deny that I want her in life" "I hope it's not too late". Given that Chris has already used the word love in relation to loving Lyndsey, everything he says in the season teaser would be related to Mikaela IMO.

If the RS spoiler is true, then I have to believe that going into HTDs, Lyndsey is his F1 but her family put a wrench in his plans. He does not feel strongly enough about Mikaela to propose because he has been all in with Lyndsey. We have Mikaela questioning why Chris is still unsure about her and we see her crying in an ITM during the MTP. We see Chris' mom telling him "don't be afraid to fall in love". Why would he be afraid to fall in love with Lyndsey? We already know he loves Lynd.

Chris: "I can't deny I want her in my life" "I hope it's not too late". So no proposal for Mikaela but the final rose and date to see where it goes.

I don't think anything Mik is seeing between Chris/Lyndsey is a shock right now. If he chose Mik, I think he was honest with her. It seems like she is still fond of Chris even if they didn't last.

JMO.

I could as easily believe that his mom is referring to Lyndsay. She is who he wants but is still holding himself back because of the age and the family....thus not being able to fully let himself fall in love.

Same. I watched on the unspoiled side for most of the season. Who was he chasing?....Lyndsay. That is a typical F1 sign. Not to mention the build up of the other relationship right on cue just as doubt is thrown at theirs...right on cue.

I still have to give props to my co-worker Scott who picked her night one. He said Chris will pick a blonde and he said he will pick Lyndsay. I was not quite so confident and had a few favourites....including L...but he was steadfast. Now the last week he has been waffling a bit because he likes Mik and has seen the progression of their relationship. He still thinks it's Lyndsay, but now isn't quite as sure, whereas I am the opposite....firmly on the Lyndsay train.

IMO objective eyes can see he cares for both and your co—worker who is a man can probably see the quandary. Unless the edit whitewashed his personality, Chris seemed a bit boring for either of these two girls, IMO. Maybe he’s more fun away from the cameras but, I doubt it. Though I still think Michaela was his best option, I’m not sure who he picked. Even though I can’t stand RS, I can easily buy that right now, all three are single.  JMO

He spewed platitudes like always but, we know from his entire season, they mean nothing, IMO. He’s still deciding if he wants to invest solid trust and real love in one of these girls. We do not know which, only his mother does. Personally, I’m not sure who he’s crying about but he looks scared to death which is not a good look for a 33 year old man. JMO
