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

The edit does tell us stuff.  It tells us as we have seen in many past seasons that the F1 usually has a sense of nervous, wondering if she's going to be the F1.  Right now, that belongs to Lyndsey.  Mikaela is far from nervous.  She thinks she has it all i the bag.

BTW, who watched Bachelor Canada season 2??  I am seeing shades of April in Lyndsey's storyline with the nervous, lack of self confidence and shades of Trish in Mikaela thinking she's gonna be the F1 no worries in the world.

It was that way going into hometown dates and just got more exagerated after.  IMO that's cause there will only be HTD's then finale  with the WTA in the middle just like Bachcan 2 and Bettecan 1

Thanks for the reply. Even on Jasmine’s season? I am just wondering about the possibility whether word got out because both have already just been taped. The sudden emergence of the spoiler is just a little odd for me.

when was the bachcan ones taped? I thought that was coming up this week??

You mean the current one? I got no idea at all. I am hoping Jasmine’s season can act as reference. If it is pre-taped, I assumed WTA should be taped soon if haven’t already. It did cross my head whether ATFR (if pre-taped)will be done close to the WTA but then it also seems too soon so I guess that is my question.

Like I said, the WTA on bachcan 1 and 2 was taped during the weekend right before the epi. SO, we are looking at not this week but next weekend likely. In bachcan 1 absolutely the WTA and the ATFR was taped on the same day.

All in all, I think we are looking at fri or sat the 1 or 2 for taping.

Ok. Thank you.

The edit tells us nothing HTDs and FSs can’t change plus Lyndsey shows zero confidence and looks anything but reassured. Add all that to Chriis’s waffling and there’s nothing at all to bank on, IMO. I’m no fan of RS but he could easily be right, JMO..

The way Chris' relationship with both women has been presented so far in addition to what is seen of the final week in the season teaser does kinda line up with what RS is reporting IMO. In particular the part about him not proposing. Chris needs to get over his hump about opening up. I don't think he's ready to propose to any of them. Hometowns will be even more telling.

Someone on the forum (don't recall who) also mentioned that if the lead is not engaged in the process, they choose the one that's less invested so that it's easier to not continue with the process after the show is done. If this is the case here, then could this explain what RS spoiled (break up within a week)?

Ultimately, what I really want is that they try (whoever it is at the end) to be invested in a relationship (that's why I watch)!

If this is the case, what a dud season this would be.

Sorry about the pessimism.

I don't think Mikaela is the less invested one and the break up within a week sounds like hyperbole. The truth has been stretched a little bit here IMO. RS doesn't always do his due diligence.

Also, the random Canadian fan claiming that the spoiler came from Chris himself is a red flag. I'm just gonna keep watching and see what happens.

I am always confused at hometowns.
some F1 had great ones. Some F1 had tough ones. And this can be said to F2 too.
I always go with F1 get difficult ones but April got a nice one with granny etc.
I do not remember Bianka HTD. I think it was okay too.

The teaser shows a difficult one with Lindsey with Dad very intense; we see a lot of fired questions with Dad Mik but this is clever edits IMO and concerns which is pretty normal, and we see nothing but presentation with catie but I expect it to be friendly.

IMO, because Lindsey had a recent major break up (major because all her blog is about her ex), I assume that when she came back from NYC she was a mess. Parents helped her (I assume also but I hardly see Daddy Lindsey or Mommy Lindsey not doing it as well as all her family) .... so IMO they are way more concerned about the reality of "falling in love" and skip the long dating process. Nothing wrong with that, all families are saying the same old same old, season after season. But Daddy intensity is more about protecting his daughter IMO.

On top of that we have also the "age" concern. I do not know how old was her ex but she mentioned he was older. She talked that her previous 4 years relationship was her school sweetheart. I remember myself when I introduced my late husband, one of the first comment she told me in private: why didn't you find someone closer to your age. I understand the legitimate concern. Not only the gap but also to settle down with someone at 23. If Chris is ready (and telling the truth) for marriage and kids... then I am not sure Lindsey would be anytime soon. Her VO says it all: I do not want to be engaged with Chris (not verbatim). Engagement is stronger than BF/GF and means marriage at one point.

Then, IF his mind goes around it, there is this long distance relationship. We know for a fact that 6 months after the finale, he did not move to Vancouver and IMO chris mind is set to Toronto. He said it was his city #1 and he wanted to retire there and settle down there too... on top of his promo with the real estate agent on his intro.

so IMO it is an awful lot of concerns that Lindsey's parents had to face when the crew showed up at their house, when they had no idea what happened for 2 months. Families are more often on a protection mode.

out of the 3 families, Lindsey is more at risks because of the distance IMO. Catie and Mikaela live in Toronto or nearby. So families would be less concern if it works of not as they will continue to see them as before. There concern would be more emotional.... which is I think what we saw with Mik parents: I do not want her to be hurt, she is very sensitive (not verbatim)

I expect mikaela family just raising concerns, and be less intense. If you pick and love her, fine. If you do not pick and love her, then let her go sooner rather than later (do not know that but IMO this is the only option at this point)

For me, I saw a love story with Mikaela, very very easy, with a progression about friendship, complicity and passion (I do not recall how many times they kissed since ep2 but lets say A LOT!).

I do not copy paste each family to have the same reaction (yes! I am looking at you Keven's mother!!! ) because each family is different with different people. I remember watching Keven's mother and thinking that jasmine would have to compete with her and how unhealthy it was. I do not think this will be the same reaction at all.... but IMO they have one thing in common: distance.

Anyway... with all the HTD from different franchises, none are really the same for F1 and F2.

JMO

October 10, when asked what his career aspirations are...

Well played, sir. What’s the career plan, post-Bachelor?
I think I might try to flip houses with a buddy of mine. But I have no Hollywood aspirations. Unless Dolph Lundgren needs a body double—but I suppose I’d need to pop some steroids first.

https://torontolife.com/culture/movies-and-tv/qa-new-bachelor-canada-chris-leroux-televised-search-soulmate/

Doesn't sound like Chris has much of plan career wise yet.

Yah, I saw that too, @BlackHalo . Maybe things have recently changed...hopefully.

Also...

I agree with you, HEA. Lindsey's family certainly seems to be a very loving and caring unit. In this situation, I would be the same!! I think, this hometown experience, for both Lyndsey and Chris, was the catalyst that got them both thinking and hence, Lyndsey's ultimate statement "I'm not ready to be engaged". HEA, I know that you don't agree with me and I respect that but I think that that was the game changer.

That being said, so far, I've got nothin' right so...hahaha!!!!

agree. exaggeration to make fun of the break up. I hardly see chris going to make a phone call or just go to winnipeg or vancouver and say it is over. Mik stayed more than a week at her parents in Winnipeg

IF mik is F1, and checking her IG, it must be before he Niagara date with jessie and Lindsey on august 2.

But again, the vibe I have right now is that she is very happy and cannot wait to share her experience (her words on IG and blog)
