I guess we will have to agree to disagree then. I will clarify that I never thought he would have made the wrong choice if he chose Mik. If the reasons he chose her is what you have mentioned above, it is valid.

Obviously we have different perceptions on settling and that’s ok. I simply just think his heart feels more alive and beats more for Lynds at that time. Whether that passion is going to be short-lived anot, I guess he had already had a stand on that if he did chose Mik so I have no comment on that. JMO.

If I had a nickel for every time a lead said in a PI or a VO that he was falling in love with his  or her final 2 .... id have a heavy little bag of nickels!  I swear before the season starts the Bach or Bachette has to raise their right hand and solemnly swear to confess this in front of a camera at some point before FRC.  It doesn’t mean anything ... we all know they know full well who it’s going to be long before the FRC .... and that’s why the F1 gets the best fantasy suite .... and in the old days ....rose petals too.

Another thing I’ve learned over the years .... F1 gets the worst edit on HTD and meet the parents ... it’s their right of passage to get the final rose .... tptb insist on it ....

A very wise board member gave some very sage advice many moons ago .... watch the feet ..... who’s the lead chasing and pursuing .....that’s the one they want .....

So, to me it all points to alindsey at this point in time .... does he choose her at FRC? That remains to be seen .... but nobody will ever convince me that Mik was his first choice going into HTDs or FDs ...
even if he does choose her in the end , I’ll believe it was cold feet Chris who chickened out and made the safe choice.   Don’t get me wrong, I like Mik just as much as I like Linds, both super nice girls IMO...but I don’t see the chemistry with her, not like I do with Lindsey.  

Hate that I have to wait another week to see how it ends

I agree with everything you've said

IMO, the kind of heat Chris has for Lyndsey burns hot and fast. He has been there, done that. Like his dad told him, he is too old to be entering into another "difficult" relationship and as you saw...moving to Vancouver is something Chris mentioned to Lyndsey and never mentioned again. Just another one of his exuberant declarations in the moment. silliness, IMO.

Perfect for him

For me personally, what I am seeing on screen now will mean that he settled if he chose Mik. Imo, it is a tad disappointing but there is no right or wrong, he just chose the option which he thinks is best for him and can commit to.

HEA wrote:^^ Chris was done at hometown with lindsey. with his parents he only try to find excuses to justify his choice of not picking her.

lindsey did not pass the test with chirs parents whatsoever. his parents are too well educated to say it in front of cameras but we heard that mother was not confortable with the 23 number, not happy that lindsey did not want to bend on moving.

lindey is a young inexperienced girl who like many young people think they can do whatever they want without compromise.

for me this girl needs to mature a little bit before entering into another relationship. she has a little grow up to do, adventures to experience and when she is ready, find a nice person to be with.
I
ah be young again.... *sigh*

jmo

If Chris was done with her after HTDs he’d have let her go at RC after .....or given her the pirate date and then took Mik to the mud spa to give an all over body massage to her  ....

Agent99 wrote:I just don't get these "Lyndsey is immature and inexperienced" comments.  It is certainly not in the edit and I'm not sure it's evident IRL either.  I can't recall who it was, but one of the girls said (maybe on the after show) that Lyndsey is probably more mature than most of the girls in the house.

Storybook wrote:For me Lydnsey's HTD was nothing more than a guise to create doubt in the viewers mind. And from reading the posts it has achieved this outstandingly. Chris said to the camera he loved Lydnsey. This is the first time I have ever heard the lead say they are in love with one of the contestants before the final rose ceremony.  And on top of this he wanted Lydnesy's dad's blessing on his asking Lydnesy to marry him.
But wait - along comes the family from hell. All Chris's plans have gone down the toilet. He can't be with the woman he loves because Lydnesy's family are totally horrible to him. So Chris changes his mind. He no longer loves Lyndesy.
And I will add how Chris's plans for a future with Lyndsey were thwarted with a bit of help from the producers. The produces decided to confuse us - we see Chris professes his love only to have it taken from him when he meet's (and spends ten whole hours of hell with) Lydnsey's family.

HEA wrote:i am not sure we see the same show in terms of chemistry with mikaela....

was it not the same guy who could not stop kissing her during the golf? of kiss her, held her, kissing her on her neck during the dancing... or kissing her since episode 2... the scene that was never seen on tv but mik shared the picture... or the finally 2 times and the hard yes about accepting to forego to the fantasy suite? They kissed all the freaking time, he held her all the time as if he could not help but do it.

he kissed her head, her hand, her arm, her shoulder.... i do not recall him doing the same or as much with lindsey..

for me it was passionate (his words)

i mean they probably kissed over 20 times during the mini golf... him saying that he found any excuse to do it

no chemistry or little chemistry??? really???
