I'd be interested in your thoughts.

The only way I think he’d not choose anybody ( or Mik) is if Lindsey leaves and doesn’t show up at FRC .... if Lindsey is there ....shes his F1

I agree – if Lyndsey is at the FRC, it’s her.  But there is always this spoiler in the back of my mind – I think somebody has done their job well if this was a producer driven spoil

Does anyone know when the season promo voiceover is done?  Because Chris says he is confident he will propose and he has the ring in the promo.  IMO, proposal = Lyndsey, no proposal = Mikaela.

IMO, The editing of the season, and how the preview for the finale is showing, IMO, the clear cut person that Chris wants is Lyndsey. With Lyndsey, she has been all in for a while now and as such I don't see her leaving on her own accord. As far as what she said in the season teaser could be a few words out of a 5 min ITM for all we know and the producers cherry picked a few phrases to give us the impression that she walks. IMO, that couldn't be further from the truth. In season 2 we hear in the season preview, "I just want to go home"(just like with Lyndsey this season) so that sent some into thinking that she walks as well. Meanwhile, it couldn't be further from the truth. We SEE in the season preview, just as in season 1(upset Whit), we see an upset Mikaela. Then in the finale preview we see from season 1, Whit and Brad confronting one another and Brad chasing her around the villa. In this finale preview we see an upset Mikaela and Chris chasing her around. IMO, the parallels are uncanny. SO....going by all of this. IMO, we will see Lyndsey as the F1 and Mik as the person leaving before the FRC.

Whether that happens is what's left to be seen.

ahem.... we will see ................... if lindsey is there it is because she is F2. He made his decision and that is not her. TO ME

there is no concensus. we are a couple here to believe that mikaela is F1 and RS is right

To me, this is a BIG clue. I don't think Chris and Mikaela are together and Mik has figured Chris out.
Most guys want to be a rock but Chris wasn't emotionally ready to be hers. Mik is confident and mature enough to be able to take a chance. Chris is not.

i think this is the dynamic of their couple and why it did not work.

That Facebook post could be read in different ways. But yeah, I think everyone is single and ready to move on. Especially Chris.

I’m leaning toward alone however am not all that confident 
Personally I think Mak and Linds have some similarities but Chris said they were very different. I do think he is invested to a degree with each. That in itself I see as problematic because he thinks they are very different so IMO that is a type of red flag that neither is a good match because he needs the “right” characteristics each possess - basically a different woman who has that combination. 
Another possible red flag for me was when he told his mom he realized he had let some good women get away in the past. That’s ok if he means that he has learned and this time isn’t going shy away. However, if his reminiscing means he has met others that were potentially more compatible then that’s not a good outcome for the show. 

I do see pros and cons to each of his showmances. Found myself unable to invest.

I agree. the meaning can be positive and negative. if he does not change, she will go... if he change, she will bring him with her....

Collective whine or not, he's going to choose, CHOOSE Mikaela.

TO ME, Mikaela is the F2 and has been all along. Look at the stats, look at the editing techniques for BACHCAN/ETTE, when you look at those things alone, never mind the editing of the season with the obstacles, etc, it ONLY points to Lyndsey as the F1. Mikaela has only been a "believable" one to take to the end as some of the viewers get to see the easy going edit that she's had with no bumps, no serious flaws through the season, yep it' Mik. But when as sleuthers and others that have kept track look at the stats, the editing ploys, etc, IMO, Lyndsey fits the bill for the F1. Not to mention that he's only had eyes for Lyndsey since night 1.

IMO, when Mik said that there may be surprise to the ending, IMO it will be because he chose Lyndsey. Since epi 6, the edit has switched to it's typical pattern of bringing the F2 up to meet where the F1 has been all along. That is when Mik started being up front to most of the viewers out there, couple that with the crappy HTD edit(just like Kevin got in his) and how now there is stress, IMO most of the viewers would see that Mik has stepped out of Lyndsey's shadow.........then WHAM, she is sent home and Lyndsey becomes the F1.

All IMO

IMO from the chat that he had with his mom, he talked about past relationships and not being able to fully commit to them and not be afraid to actually fall in love. Mom said then fix it. IMO, knowing how gaga he has been for Lyndsey all along, the fix it part will ring loud and clear and he will finally allow himself to fall completely for her, commit and that's him changed.

what is it that he was supposed to learn with his parents? I think this the premise of the finale.

dad said that geography should not be a problem but in reality it is a problem..... step back  from chris about moving in vancouver

dad said that he is too old for long distance relationship..... step back from chris and decided to change his pattern... no more long distance

dad said that he always find difficult relationships....... step back from chris with all the bumps on the road with lindsey... age, family, distance, livestyle

chris said that he always wanted his parents close if he had kids..... step back from chris if he moved to vancouver, no such thing

IMO his parents gave him the clarity he was looking for.

and that for me is finale proof that he was never in love with lindsey.... or he would have bypassed all that and proposed.... and i am 99.99% he will not do that.
