Bachelor Franchise - Random Sleuthing - Discussion

Two favorites - Brooks and Chris. I know they are friends, but I wonder if it's secretly awkward for them?

My guess is that they had a friendly chat and enjoyed it. Two quality guys can always find common ground.

Chris said that Brooks came to Desiree and his wedding, so probably not very awkward. Sometimes, I feel like some viewers have a harder time letting go of the contestants' past with each other because that is what they see of them is edited for TV and "frozen in time". The participants have moved on with their lives outside of the "Bachelor bubble" -- many times it seems like romances either get stronger or break up and friendships ebb, flow or even start up after the show. I think it is great that Brooks and Chris are still friends after this length of time. All JMO.

Des has good taste in men and a good picker! If I were a single girlfriend of hers I‘d totally let her set me up!

RIP Christy Castera she was on Brad’s second season and has died of a seizure.

Does anyone follow Cupcake Chris?
I don’t but a day or so ago I was curious about alum so checked out a few IG accounts. In his IG story he posted a pic of 2 hands intertwined that seem to match the location of a group pic he was tagged in - Juniper Mountain Retreat. IMO the pic had a romantic vibe and would be odd to post interlocked hands of someone other than himself however I suppose that could happen. Curiosity peaked, I checked his account again and found this tagged pic:

Because I don’t follow him, I don’t know the context of his relationship with Becca - relative, friend? More?
Anyone know the deets?

I follow Chris but not closely so don't have any idea but hope he's found someone, @notarose. It looks like Becca recently broke up with her bf so it's possible that they could be dating.

Totally stolen from Reddit to continue the morbidity of the day- which couple do you all think is next to bite the dust?

@Alanna I guess I'll go first.  

I think Rachel and Bryan.

@Alanna hahahahaha, I didn't want to be the super cynical person who asked that question.

Are we including ALL the couples or only the engaged ones that actually matter? Of all of them, I think Joe/Kendall or Clay/Angela. Of the engaged, I think Rachel/Bryan.

I think Rachel and Bryan too and I’ll one up it by adding a divorce for Tanner and Jade.

@Aria, I think only the engaged ones!! Otherwise it doesn’t hurt quite as much to speculate you know? It’s gotta burn a little!!

I'm just going to give my opinion on all of them! And I said like 1.5 years ago that I couldn't see K/S ever breaking up, so just keep in mind that I have no idea what I'm talking about! 

(in order of length of engagement) 

Jojo/Jordan - won't make it 
Rachel/Bryan - won't make it
Lauren/Arie - will get married 
Becca/Garrett - will get married 
Ashley/Jared - will get married 
Krystal/Chris - won't make it
