You're right. We don't know the context. We don't even know who he is talking about. We'll see what happens on December 20.

Can someone please share the schedule.  It's not correct in the filming / schedule forum that I can see.  Since there is only two girls left?  In the Canada franchise they do MTA/WTA correct.  So is it?

Dec 6 - WTA
Dec 13 - FD / MTP
Dec 20 - FRC

I’m not sure if there will be a WTA ... for next week my tv quide says “Chris and the remaining bachelorettes have a chance to deepen their connections;  Chris confronts his own emotional demons”

ETA ... WTA is the 13th

The way I see it, he’s 33 and retired from his first career and wants to start his second career with a life partner.  I’m sure he’s got money in the bank and open to possibilities as to what he does ...
and where he lives.  A lot different circumstances than someone in early 20’s who truly doesn’t know what they want in life.   I dont see him as flakey guy out to try date as many girls as he can ( Im sure that was available to him as a ball player all those years) I see him as a guy who truly is looking to settle down.   Doing the Bach is definitely an out of the ordinary way to meet someone but really not much different from internet dating and to be honest, isn’t available to just anyone ... male leads who aren’t recycled contestants .... are usually chosen with care.  I totally get why he chose to do it.   I like him, he’s quiet and maybe a little doll to some but I’m enjoying his “journey” .... much more so if he chooses Lindsey as that’s where I saw the connection.

I had to comment on this bold part.  Great thought.....I am wondering why people aren't upset about Mik's dad, when he asked Chris if he had any kids out there?  Also how Mik's dad was hitting hard also about if he had savings (pretty personal questions if you ask me)  Maybe a private conversation from a dad if you were asking her hand in marriage.  But in front of everyone close to just meeting.    Tbtp edited right there and it wasn't finished and was missed by many.  

There isn't any discussion about how rude that was because it doesn't fit in the story line.  There isn't any obstacles Mik and Chris have to over come in their love story.  The only obstacle is what Chris expressed directly to Mik and that is "Do I know her well enough?"  

WOW, re the bolded, I missed that too. Some pretty harsh questions to ask, that's for sure. It's true that there has been ZERO obstacles for Chris and Mikaela to overcome. The only one that could remotely be considered as an obstacle would of been that Chris wasn't as open to Mikaela when she told him how she was feeling. By the end of that epi though, it was completely resolved so therefore no long term obstacle to get over.

Thanks @northernviewer So if next week is FD/MTP and their is only two girls left would they really do LCD also? If there is no WTA then the finale would be December 13th.  I am not sure if Canada does the WTA or the AFTR so this could be over on the 13th.  Does any know?  What does the tv guide or schedule any where? There are other international franchise's don't do FD. Thoughts on only two girls, would the schedule be adjusted and how will next episode end with no RC ceremony because there is only two girls. So no WTA or AFTR the finale will be the 13th???

As per Bachcan 2 and Bettecan 1, the schedule went as:

Dec 6 PT 1 of finale with FD/mtp
Dec 13 WTA
Dec 20 PT 2 of finale with LCD/finale and the ATFR afterwards


I can make changes on my post in the no discussion filming schedule section soon.

Thanks    But on both those series there were F3 ...this time around we don't have three we only have two so. With the schedule you posted above Dec 6th episode Part 1 had F3 RC. no RC this coming week.

I don't think he knows what he wants out of life in general. Relationships or otherwise. JMO.

Career-wise he may not know or may be considering possibilities that are not far enough along to be made public. I think he said he retired about a year ago.  His former career involved a lot of travel so it makes sense he would like a permsnent residence and that takes some time to set up plus he must have an investment portfolio.  Becoming the Bach means time filming plus although he might not have watched previous seasons my guess is that he became aware that there are doors that could open post-show with no idea of what those may be until offers are made. IMO he has the luxury of time given he was in a high paying job prior plus is being paid as Bach. .

As to knowing what he wants in a relationship, he did say touch is important (a love language) and we know Catie’s bubbly personality was too much. It seems he wants a more relaxed conversationalist. He also said several times he needs to open up more so I think when he said Catie didn’t give him room to talk it means he knows he needs someone who listens in a way that encourages or gives him the space to want to open up.

I made some digging and I found out that he retired officially on march 2017.
I posted a couple of interview/article in the SM thread

chris said many things such he does not like to do the same thing every day, that he love not knowing what will be the day made of, that he like outdoors but never camp and hiked only once, that he want to buy a house in Toronto and retire there as it is his #1 city after Republican Dominican city (forgot the name), that he is ready to marry and kids, that he hates traveling now.....

I think he loves both lindsey and mikaela. same old same old... no matter which one WE think is better for him, HE was the one to decide at the end.

@4health. I think my post above may be a bit confusing so here we are at


dec 6 - pt 1 of finale that has FD's and MTP's NO RC.
Dec 13 - WTA
Dec 20 - finale and ATFR

The Dec 20 date has been known for a while.

Both Bachcan 2 and Bette 1 only had 2 going into the the finale part 1 and 2 and no rose ceremony between them...

This isn’t about who I think is better for him, I couldn’t care less who he chooses to date, this is about what I saw when watching the episodes. If he chose Mikaela then its production who sucks for not telling me the story.

I saw plenty of story with Chris and Mikalea... this week is the only time I saw him withdrawn from her. JMO.

I have seen two stories...one with Mik and one with Lyndsay. I don't care who he picks or who might be better for him since I don't know him or them or what really went down during filming. And while I did see two stories, I saw one that I believed more than the other. For me that is the difference. One story was full of clichés that I see every season and pretty much predicted before they occurred, whereas the other was more organic and had things that took me by surprise...hence why I see Lyndsay being the F1.
