Re: Bachelor 19 - Chris Soules - Fan Forum - *Spoilers* - *Speculation* - Discussion

I'm here as well, although I go everywhere.

I am enjoying things so far. I think Chris is doing a good job....despite all the kissing. Even that seems mostly initiated by the most aggressive group of women I have seen on this show....although they seem to get along and even cheer for each other when one of them gets a date. I'm sure the claws will come out more as the numbers go down and they get more invested. Becca and Whitney still seem friendly post show so who knows.

I am enjoying Chris and his goofy sense of humour despite...or maybe because of the giggle. He is still not comfortable talking to the camera...particularly if it is one of those fake bachelor stock speeches and is much more likable when he is being himself. The man is not a very good liar and you can see just how uncomfortable he is with some of the "ladies"...even if he is making out with them. His kisses with Whitney seemed so much more natural than with anyone else.

I will count myself as a fan too ... and actually surprised to be saying. What I like about Chris is that he's a bit awkward on camera so he comes across more sincere (as promised by Chris Harrison). He really does seem to be having the time of his life and he's super easy to read so it was pretty obvious last night that Whitney would be going very, very far whereas his interest in Britt from week 1 to week 3 seemed to drop big time (again, from what little we saw).  

I don't have an issue with his kissing because so many of the women are lunging for him as Sprite noted. Seems like when Mackenzie came back from her date and told everyone she kissed him 5-6 times it was game on ... all the girls started going in for kisses too.

I also as others have noted really like the women this season. He's got several solid picks plus several gals that are just very amusing and make great television.  

During Juan Pablo and Ben's season, the girl drama/nastiness was hard for me to watch while Chris' season reminds me a bit more like Sean's season. I hope that continues!

Hello everyone. It is so refreshing to have a place for positive comments! I have skipped other Bach forums, because I wanted to enjoy this season. I read (somewhere) that the wedding crash was set up with a producer who had a mutual friend with the bride. I thought they didn't intrude that much. And I heard the wedding group got their music paid for, and they were thrilled.
Jimmy Kimmel was hilarious. I've enjoyed the whole show so far, and I'm a "seasoned" (read that super old person) Bachelor viewer. Thanks so much for a positive place!

Welcome beachdog..I believe that the "crew" knew about it..but I don't believe Chris did and I think they might have "suggested" it to Whitney.

Hey, Beachdog1, welcome. You aren't the only "seasoned" one on this board... believe me.

Thanks for the welcome!
I grew up in the Iowa farmlands, and small town. He's successful, and has to surrender to Mother Nature, so he does have a great sense of humor. I know the attachment one can have for the land (TARA! TARA!!) The educational system is tops, so he's no dummy.
I wore scrubs for my career weekdays and jeans on the weekends to bail hay, so I know his location can handle a career woman. Bring on those JD 9500 combines!!! after I finish the radioimmunoassays.
He loves to dance, and I wouldn't begrudge him the chance to do DWTS. Let the man dance.
(In fact, let's just all dance!).
Now I only hope I didn't jinx him, and he turns into a toad.....oh lord.

Glad to get your insight on Iowa and Chris' dedication to his career in farming.  He appears very active in developing farmland/agriculture in Iowa and the Midwest.  Their company looks like they are doing business with Brazil.  I believe he is sincere about finding a wife and raising a family and hope this season works out for him.

We are so glad to have you. I grew up in Cedar Rapids so I'm thrilled with an Iowa boy and I love Chris. Can't wait to see how this unfolds. We welcome all your insights about Chris and all that's Iowa!

Count me in too. I only post occasionally in other threads , but would love to feel comfortable enough to have fun conversations here!

[Guest]

Glad to see some posts here. I'll join you guys too. I'm loving Chris, his top 3, and even enjoying the funny coming from the drama girls this season. This is turning into my fav Bachelor season in such a long time. Happy to have a fan thread to read and post in.

I think if I was a relaxed & non-control freak bride (As the one on this episode seemed to be), it would be a kick to have a couple from a reality show "join" the reception for a while. It would be a cute family story to share.

Chris & Whitney did not intrude on the ceremony, didn't make a fuss and otherwise behaved like respectful, polite guests....that just didn't know anybody there! *LOL*

I think that Whitney was clued in by producers so she could help reassure & "guide" Chris a little, but I think he was surprised by it all.

Overall, I thought it was an enjoyable segment, and it made me like both Chris and Whitney more as individuals, and as a couple.
