Bachelor Canada Season 3 - Chris Leroux - Media SM - *Sleuthing Spoilers* - #2

Every season, many fans are trying to put dirt on "the other one" to solidify the pedestal of their favorite. It is X versus Y. I call it bitterness and not being objective at all based mostly on frustration that the favorite is not winning or just cannot stand the idea that other people may think differently, laughing at them, making demands to justify an opinion or possibility to think differently. I learned a long time ago that being wrong is part of the growing process and I may be 55, I hope I will never stop learning and if I am right I hope I will keep my childish attitude because it sucks to get old. To be honest, I am tire of this aggressive competition because for me it is not one or it is, then I'd like to be as a team us vs edits. If someone is sleuthing something, I rejoice and do my best to never ignore the effort and time this person did and I do not care who find what. Winning what ? not sure, as generally a relationship is based on compatibility and love. if the lead does not pick one, it does not mean she lost a million of $... It means that love was not reciprocated. It happens all the time. big deal!

We do not know those people by far. We do not know them enough to put X or Y on a pedestal, they are ordinary people and far from perfect people. I get myself more attached to X instead of Y, but sometimes not "winning" is a good thing and I do not feel the need to put dirt on the F1 or be bitter about it to prove that my favorite deserves to "win". I am right. I am wrong. Who cares!!! After the finale, lets have another Bachelor game to play with.

It happened so many times that the contestant or lead who was adored during his/her season was proved a fame whore or a big azzz AFTER the season in real life.... I can give you many example: BenF, MattyJ, Andi, JuanP and so many contestants who are called "alumni" with a main goal to remain around each other because their main goal in life is to use the franchise trying desperately to have their 1 minute fame back after their season ended.... the list is kinda long!  The only contestants I was happily surprised are those who left the franchise behind and moved on. However, using the franchise back to gain followers... this is a reality. They all want to have the 3 digits number of followers. all of them. no exception. SM, IG, youtube, facebook, twitter... that is today's reality for this generation. I was not raised with SM and for me when it is too much, i get annoyed. But it is a reality that SM is part of our life, regardless if we want it or not.

To defend an opinion is totally fine as it is the purpose of a forum. We see something, we share it, we agree, we disagree... but at the end of the day we should be BFF and HAVE FUN. Nobody is perfect. Nobody is evil. Everyone has a little bit of each inside, and that works for contestants and leads. We should always take a grain of salt before making assumptions of people we never met. #edits

All I am trying to say is that I have mixed feeling for leaving my safe heaven of non spoiled place this season. I did not expect such passion and fire about contestants on the Canada franchise. Generally it is cooler and relaxed and  I find all the need to justify X is better than Y exhausting. I felt I was on a court room all season and no longer in a playroom. At times, it felt like I was bullied because I thought differently and if I did not have a stubborn and strong personality, I would maybe be intimidated. So because I am drowned to the other contestant does not mean she is a bad person... We watch a TV reality show and we sleuth and we share our POV. We mock the villains who are rarely as bad as edited and when we see something funny, we should laugh about it, regardless the contestant. One season I am in the minority number to think X is F1, the other one in the majority to think Y is F1. Sometimes I am right to sleuth who is F1, sometimes I am wrong. At the end of the season day, It.does.not.matter.

Mikaela looks genuine. Lindsey looks genuine. Chris looks genuine.... on my TV. But they also look stupid, silly, funny, OTT, cray-cray, annoying, adorable, yucky too. Thanks to them and the #edits!  

Just my 2 cennes and my opinion.

Love this. We are coming to a close to this season and I think you have somewhat gave quite a honest landscape of what had transpired. At times, we get fired up but I always believe the passion came from people being engaged and invested (more than we would admit) rather than just deliberately trying to throw opposite ideas off. There are moments when things get heated but the truth is whatever happens in the end, we always moved on imo. Personally, I had a blast no matter my preferred F1 prevailed anot and I thank you guys for that.

In Brad's Season, Bianka had a viewing party & Brad showed up to it at the end. Many thought she couldn't be F1 because of the party.

Good to know ....I’ll put a possible happy F1 back on the table

Interestingly, Chris has stopped following Bachcan on IG. I know Lyndsey stopped following after the HTD epi but a few days after, Chris was still following. Now he isn't.

Chris said in an interview I saw that fans should not expect him to play on SM. That was not his thing and he had only a few friends and wanted to keep it private. so fans would not see him on SM.

IMO.... the cray cray comments about who he should pick as if it is live ... and also if he is single today which is a strong possibility, or just see pictures of his F2 that he does not want to see because it reminds him memories.... whatever his reasons, maybe the hometown cray cray reactions were a bit too much, as well as fantasy and he did not want to see it on his feed. good for him to be strong enough to reject SM.

It sends a strong message when the lead stops following the show's IG page. This has me curious. If he's not big on SM, as has been indicated, why would he bother to take the steps to unfollow at this point in the season? Really, he might hardly look at it himself.

because of the feed that turned cray cray on his phone??

If he is single right now, could just be his way of gradually removing all traces of the show from his life. JMO.

the finale was 6 months ago... what is another 2 weeks truly?
I think he is just annoyed with the comments and feed, especially if he moved on and is single

How about Mikaela? Is she still following bachcan?

Sorry forgot to add...anyone else unfollow?

Makes sense though...if RS spoiler is true.
