Bachelor Canada - Season 3 - Chris Leroux - Episode Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers* - #2

northernviewer wrote:Very interesting episode ... I enjoyed it actually.   Mik got the buddy edit and a buddy date IMO pirate ship and pirates, so lame ..... she seemed so matter of fact ... said all the right words but with little to no emotion.   She didn’t get much of a fantasy suite ... itwas more of a hut

Lindsey’s date was very intimate and sensual and he was much more into her date and I think he chose it just so he could get his hands on her and have her massage him.... all over....the emotion and chemistry is definitely there!  Her fantasy suite was much nicer ..... it looked same as the one her parents were in .... did they just clean up after Chris and Lindsey left and then the parents moved in?! Haha ...yuck....   I’ll go see if you can see a room number in it ...( dont think exact same suite but similar)

Parents liked both girls but definitely wanted him to pick Mik because she lived in TO and was older.   I know they didn’t say the words but their conversations said it loud and clear.  They were just as sceptical as Lindsey’s parents but they “packaged” it differently.

I know Lindsey and her sisters are downplaying what happened on HTDS but all the conversations that took place today confirmed that it was real even though it may have been exaggerated in the edit.  

If he doesn’t choose Lindsey.... it was cold feet Chris who made that decision as he clearly didn’t have more genuine feelings for a Mik than he had for Linds ...

After show, majority thought Lindsey... a few no one and one guy said Mik even thought he likes Linds better ... I thought ... ya right, you’ve heard the spoiler

@northernviewer, Thanks so much for your thoughts. I can't WAIT to watch the episode. I can't wait to see that she accepted the FS card as a lot suspected she would.

As far as Miikaela's date, the fact that she didn't get much of a date, that's so much like a F2. Normally it is the F1 that gets the private date, the best suite, etc.

From what you are saying above, I am thinking that it is Lyndsey all the way. Can't wait to see this love story continue.

BTW did you @northernviewer or anyone else see where it was that Chris actually bought a home in Toronto or is it just from the preview package where he talked about WANTING to buy a new home but also wanted to do that with someone and was just looking around right now.

I wish I could see the episode UGH patience I tell myself.  So, I am going to post about prior episode here....

Episode 6 after the group date of 3 sensual senses date and Kait got the rose.....they showed Chris talking with each one of the girls and kissed Catie and Kait but did not show Lyndsey and Chris kissing.  This is where she said that you have my heart.  It was discussed that his reaction was standoffish??? This is an example of the edit and you can't trust what they show.  (Not sure if this was shown on the show tonight) but here is the link to the facebook post on Wnetwork of Chris' talking about Lyndsey on this video you see Chris' true reaction to Lyndsey's declaration.  https://www.facebook.com/wnetwork/videos/10155935801908328/    He smiled and went in for the kiss and pulled her in with his hand on the back of her neck.  (Never shown in the episode)  Edit Edit Edit...don't fall for their tricks.

If Chris' does pick Mik as his F1 (spoilers) then Lyndsey's obstacles were too much for him and Lyndsey (regrets) is the reason it didn't work with M.....IMO

@northernviewer @Storybook

and we heard her sisters: been there done that and we are pretty sure she will never do it again.

all her sisters and mom talking about lindsey and the adventures and explorations.... all her blog s about that too imo

so yes. i agree that for love, people are ready to move countries if they have to. But once you did it once and the person had a soul search and took her 2 years to find her peace (on her blog)... then I am not sure this person is ready to compromise again.

regarding the spoiler... i missed this part. i thought RS said: he picked Mikaela and it was over 1 week after.

we see what we want to see IMO

During HTD, mikaela told him she fell in love with him and he said: I am very happy to hear it... which is most that he said to any of them so far  IMO

I do not think we can make comparison which one he was the happiest. I think as i said he loved both, differently but both. his head, his heart and his little chris were a bit too loud for him and all the obstacles were messing with him.

IF it was soooooo clear that Lindsey was the one, then why the break down? why the crying? IF it was a done deal..... which IMO was not.

So, what I find confusing is? Her sisters saying she will never move from V...was it said that she has a one-way ticket to Australia / moving there?

uh?

she said on her blog that she was going to australia on january 2018 for a while... now what is a while for lindsey, who knows. what are the tourist visa duration for australia for canadian?

i think for her HOME is vancouver and she said it many many times on her IG and blogs... does not mean she does not want adventures elsewhere... it think this is all about her blog. she made a tab about adventures

@HEA I haven't seen the episode LOL I have to wait for people like your self to share.....but all I was pointing out is that there is a video on Wnetwork facebook page for both M and L journey per se but from Chris' point of view.  So, with the video is showed Chris' and Lyndsey's kiss on episode 6 that was not shown.  Editing is a tricky thing so I am not comparing just sharing....

This Australia trip/thing IMO shows that her sisters can say all they want about her staying in V...as they said "If we have anything to say about that?" But, that does not mean she can't change her mind or also that her sisters don't know her like they think they do. Just saying???LOL

This episode further confirmed for me that Chris wants Lyndsay. Everything that I thought would happen, happened:

They discussed the family difficulties, but seemed to move past.
He offered the FD card despite the sisters...and she accepted.
They discussed the moving and he said he would move to Vancouver...despite the disappointment of his parents and that he wanted to live in TO.

By the way, have we confirmed that he bought a house in TO? People keep talking about it as if is a fact, but I don't recall any confirmation.

Mik had a really good visit with parents.
Lyndsay's visit with his folks was edited with lots of obstacles...age, moving, etc...and appeared as if she got a lot more grilling and not as welcome reception. Yet despite that, she left smiling so she clearly felt comfortable about the meeting and the parents said they liked both.

Mik's FD was more public, lots of talk of being good on paper, everything is easy, missing the X factor...all edit signs of the F2. Add that to the good MTP, even more of an F2 edit IMO.

Lyndsay's FD was more private. Still had obstacles, but seemed to have worked on them. Issues during MTP. More lust. Again, F1 edit IMO.

Chris is the issue here. He wants Lyndsay and if he is honest with himself he will pick her. If he starts getting cold feet and goes with the good on paper, easy choice, he will pick Mik. That would make sense of the spoiler because, who wants to be second choice. Having said that, going by all the classic editing tricks...who the lead is chasing, obstacles, chemistry, worse HTD and MTP, all point to Lyndsay as F1. I hope he goes for who he really wants...even if they don't make it.

Storybook wrote:I used to believe that in this show deep conversation would win out over physical attraction. But because I have never seen that happen I no longer believe it will.
Lydnsey's sisters tried to put a stop to the FS but that didn't happen. Lyndsey's sisters said she would never move to Toronto. IMO that will happen. Lyndsey loves Chris with her whole heart. I watched Episode 8 (yes I am an episode behind) and IMO the way she spontaneously kissed Chris's cheek in the apple orchard was so sweet. And I also believe Chris sees genuine, caring, loving qualities in Lyndsey, not just lust.

I agree @Storybook. What Lyndsey and Chris have extends WELL beyond lust. IMO, the fact that Lyndsey did do the FS, proves that she has a mind of her own and as such, if she and Chris want to settle in Toronto, they will.

northernviewer wrote:IMO if he chose Mik over Lindsey ... it would be for same reason Travis Stork chose his F1... cuz she lived in same city and would be easier to dump...

LynnTa wrote:@HEA..."his little chris and himself are in agreement to pick Lyn...."      It has happened before,so it won't be shocker  imo

northernviewer wrote:This whole age thing is getting on my nerves ... my husband was 13 years older than me (I say was cuz im a widow) and it never mattered much.   Love is love when it happens and you just go with it.  Did I plan it ? No, did I go looking for an older man? No...But when we fell in love, it was natural and right and I never regretted it for a moment.  People, even though we’ll meaning .....need to butt out!  Not their decision to make...or their place to judge.

My husband is 11yrs older than me. When we met, we moved far from where I grew up and yea, my family said I would never....but I did. Then when we did move back, my family said he wouldn't last here....he has. Now 30 yrs down the track we are both still together. IMO, age, distance, and almost any obstacle, including family problems/acceptance can all be over come if love is involved.....ours did and from what I see, there is a lot of love involved with Chris and Lyndsey

HEA wrote:Can we really see Lindsey moving to Toronto, in the big city, with all her love about hiking, her beloved huge dog, her family, her love for nature... her love for music sharing this band with her "friend"?

do we really?

because I don't.

and I think @northernviewer we did not watch the same show. I heard chirs saying love story with mikaela, I heard him saying he fell for her since day 1, thinking of her constantly...

did he pick the easy choice. maybe. probably. but to say that picking would be easier to dump her... really?

JMO

I thought Lydnsey had lived in New York City? Love makes people move countries if they have to.

Yea, Lyndsey did live in a city....New York at that.....She lives in Vancouver that is a huge city as well. IMO, as I do think that Lyndsey's latest blog is a shoutout to Chris, IMO, their love is still on a roll

mmmm i thought the physical was always a F2 sign....

i clearly also see the mandatory obstacle with mikaela

and as far as i know i did not see any lindsey segment during the fantasy date with mikaela....
