Lindsey on the other hand has a bucket list as long as the dictionary and one of them is to live a while in australia (project soon to be realized in january 2018 as she shared on her blog)

This is interesting yet worrisome to me. I really hope if she is F1 they are still together and he is going with her. I would hate to feel like I wasted my time on a couple that had already broken up. That goes for him and Mik as well.

IMO, there really hasn't been any suspense? Everyone has been overlooked due to his physical attraction with Lyndsey and more recently Brittany. I'm anxious to see how Chris' interactions with the women change moving forward though.

And again, the obstacle thing really only makes sense to me when it is something that the producers have manipulated to cast doubt on the F1. I don't see that being the case with Lyndsey. It is a legit obstacle and legit reason why she and Chris may not end up together. JMO.

The point is, it's still an obstacle and that has been typically the F1 MO.  What's the obstacle with Mikaela....none that I see - fabricated or not.

We'll have to agree to disagree. And not every F1 has an obstacle. There are outliers. An obstacle does not tell me Lyndsey is F1. It just doesn't. JMO.

here lindsey was private a long time so it was hard to know and of course many jumped to the conclusion because chris was private too, they saw a sign here. But if we read her blog, she said that she deleted her facebook account and enjoyed the time when she was 60 days without SM (recently means definitely during the taping). She explained that SM was not good to regain peace (not verbatim).

however when we look at mikaela, one thing that strucked me when i was able to check was the first pics she posted were old pictures. she was less suntanned after a week than when she was in republica dominican. something was not right. then her H A P P Y, a week after +/- the finale did not look right either. she said it during a PI right after the mini golf nd dancing date. I fell HAPPY with a heart with her hands. She said it again during her 1-1 with chris. Recently she talk about a new fashion project and after digging a bit it is a line of tees and such with sayings on them.......

Then chris opened up his IG which is almost useless. he was right when he said he is not SM. but  days apart he said : I do not know if you know but i tapped the fashion 2 years ago (something along those lines) and he shared his 1864 sweatshirt saying
People ask me all the time where I got my “1867” black hoodie. Most don’t know this but I dabbled in clothing design for a bit, and created this beauty about 2 years ago. It’s 1 of 1, but if you’re interested, I know a guy. #canada #1867

2 DAYS later, mikaela is sharing this MIK ROSES jeans jacket saying:
You never know if I’ll find love on The Bachelor, but found it with my new custom denim jacket from @shop.perle !

Similarly if a lead is attracted to someone great. They will show that or parts of that, but if the lead isn't into someone, they edit around it to create the attraction....music, romantic dates, showing kissing, etc. For me, at this point in time the only ones he is into are Lyndsay and Michaela. Everyone else is MOT including Jessie who is another person they are pushing somewhat now....even though to me they are like buddies.

The difference that I personally see between his edited attraction to Lyndsay and Michaela is that the stuff that I see with Michaela is stuff I have seen numerous times with numerous leads and numerous contestants....kiss against a wall, fireworks, etc. The things that I have seen with Lyndsay is very specific to her only. The hands prints on her butt, grabbing her to pull her back to him to kiss him as they are walking to go talk somewhere, the sheer frustration because she is younger than he wants. Those speak to me of spontaneity and were left in the edit to tell their story, where as the other seems more manufactured to create the effect that producers want.

not being able to express his feelings IS an obstacle IMO. Why would the obstacle comes from the girls only. It can be HIS issue...

IMO, the only thing this tells me is he is very physically attracted to her. I could also make a case for things that were specific to Brittany and she's gone now. He has also said and done things with Mikaela that are specific to her. In the very last episode no less. Does it only count when it's Lyndsey...
