I have no idea if any of the other girls did it. I don't recall. It doesn't matter to me because my point was what is he going to do when she comes at him like that?

I'm not trying to prove anything. I am just expressing what I think the differences are between his behaviour toward Lyndsay and Michaela. All the affectionate gestures you listed remind me of Season 2 when the same type of things were listed as why Trish was F1. I disagreed then and I disagree now. I guess we will just have to agree to disagree until we see the finale.

He certainly didn't mind it.

LOL, what the heck are you going to do when you have someone runnign at  you like that.....LOL

Huh? I really don't understand why this is being painted as one-sided? He has been picking her up and hugging her tightly for long amounts of time lately...

errrr.... nope

Come on, you know I wasn't saying that! IMO, just look back at it from a disconnected point. Don't look at it from a liking point but from a point of view to see exactly how it started....you can really see it there that she was paying attention to what the producers were saying. IMO, yea when you look at it as someone you like, it can be seen with different eyes compared to when you look at is as not having a fave. This time around I don't. Just looking at the editing of both the possible F2.

So being unbiased, I want to say in all the series I have watched (not many and mainly Australian) the initial attraction the lead has with someone is there at the end. The show  becomes trying to make the competition intense by the lead having 'new intense feelings' for someone else.

Comments have been made that Chris seemed more into Mikaela than Lyndsey on the first night. But it was a one horse race with Lyndsey after that . . . until now. Chris is questioning his future with Lyndsey only. IMO this is a typical dilemma of the lead and the F1. Maybe I am wrong this time I will have to wait and see.

I see it this way too. On night one, Chris specifically took her to a private area to chat. Something that happens with all F1's. Another thing that happens, the editing of their chat....meaning, the F1 has gotten one of the last few chat's in the evening compared to any of the other F2/3/4 chat times - edited that way of course. They ALL happened earlier at night. Now we see the "connection" with Mikaela coming on and next epi the connection with Jessie takes a further turn. The fact that there is a dual concern/conflict between Chris and Lyndsey IMO is typical of a F1 edit. With Mikaela, there is no conflict at all right now so of course their connection seems easy and fluid. There is nothing for them to work through.

And she would do that because she is F2 ??? Mmmmmm

@HEA. Whose blog did you check? If there is a link to this, I'd like to see it.

LOL, all I am saying is that when someone is running at you like that, you do one of 2 things, you get out of the way and let them stumble and fall or you hang onto things. Bottom line, IMO, this is typical of F2 and 3 and 4 to have the running and jumping scenes. I really think that IMO, the reason why things "seem" easy for Mikaela as they did for Trish in her season is that there are no problems/confrontations to work through. Meanwhile for the F1, them and the lead do have problems that need to be dealt with for their story to come to a finale. IMO, the age thing is producer driven for the most part and as such, the producers are going to milk it.

To me Chris and lindsey all I see between them is lust which will fade in time so if she is f1 I do not think it will last i See him more suited with mikaela even though the chances of him staying with the mikaela as f1 are slim but I just think with mikaela the odds are better jmo

If they have a connection that transcends lust I honestly missed it but that is what usually wins with these shows.

IMO mikaela is clearly F1. There is no way she isn’t. I’ve read somewhere that she doesn’t have an obstacle. In this sesson the obstacle imo is coming from chris. Chris is the one who is soul searching and finding it hard to open up. This will truly come to light during MTP. I can see that lindsey has a string physical connection with chris. However their banter and conversations cannot compare to mik. when his with mikaela he said it himself that its as if theyre best friends and they laugh and joke around a lot. I have honestly watched this show and theres no doubt its mikaela imo. I could go into so much detail but theres plenty of people here that have already done so.

I posted time ago that i believed the trailer gave it away and i know it was far fetched but i was basing it on jasmines season. In her sneak peak season the order of appearance on the trailer basically reflected the actual f1,2 and 3. In chris trailer, the order of appearance is mikaela, jessie then lindsey. So IMO MIK is f1, jessie f2 and lindsey f3. I think lindsey is only getting to f3. Jessie for me is a dark horse just like trish and will only start looking like a real contender on her one on one this week.

I am inclined to believe that only 2 proceed to Mexico and Lyndsey is the only one confirmed to be there from the teaser. Lyndsey got to be in the final 2. Jmo.

In the series I have watched the obstacle is always brought up by the lead. Obstacles include distance or the other person not being able to let their defences down. In Chris's case the obstacle is with Lyndsey's age.

If Chris is struggling to open up, he isn't closed to sharing kisses or affection or with words of affirmation to the women.

I completely agree. IMO it is the age problem, not how he is dealing with the women. IMO, things were so hot with Lyndsey since night one that as per usual, the producers had to cool things off with them and jump forward the f2 and onward in their connections to take the heat off of Lyndsey. IMO, we will see still more questions about Lyndsey - right on cue - and Mikaela and I presume Jessie's HTD still going forward then on the finale, he chooses Lyndsey and the answer is there regarding her age. Just the fact that he said he's all in with her in epi 5 kind of says it all.

@Storybook IMO the obstacle is that he could not open up and let his guard down.

This was clearly in the season teaser:

VO Chris: Maybe I am truly scared to take the next step

immediately followed by mikaela crying .... NO VO......


my sc

immediately followed by him saying :  Maybe I am just afraid to fall in love


my sc

following by Chris VO: I really want to let her in inside my heart... but I am scared!

followed by him crying and conforted by his mom saying: don,t be afraid to fall in love, chris




my sc


THIS for me is the obstacle .................



so I could find a high quality HD teaser version and could make some better close up.... NO pony tail to me, only a bun....  
also we can now clearly see the lace on her bikini side
At first I thought it was a tatoo on her side but it is only the pixels when I enlarged the picture. quality then decreases
although she may have one and they switched the side as they do for better effect sometimes
