Seriously. We all know at this point the logistics of reality TV. You can't just film on the down-lo. And grown-ass people crashing what would have probably been a pricey event is not cute, but we all know this is just a party staged by the show.
You know this season isn't going to end well. The type of person who ends up on a major reality show isn't the type who will want to end up in butt-nowhere farmville, Iowa where they will struggle to find employment and friends outside of this dude's presumably small social circle.
And Chris seems of lower intelligence of the average bachelor, and that is saying A LOT. Although, he's not as dumb as Juan Pablo, who had the intellect and emotional capacity of a hamster.
Also, why would you use a pool party as an opportunity to talk about something really dark that you went through and are clearly still in crisis over?

Agreed that this season is zzzz and Chris is even worse. He is so boring and so blah. And of course the wedding crash was staged.
On another note, congrats to Des and Chris on their wedding. I was rooting for them since TBette. I saw pics of Des in her wedding dress and she looked lovely.

I'm confused. Are we supposed to just ignore the fact that Chris's stomach hangs out and over his bathing suit? That's well and good in real life, but this ain't real life. This is the first bachelor since Bob Guiney that I can't find anything -- anything! -- attractive about, and I can't figure out why anyone else would find him attractive either. I just don't get it.

Last night was a mix of annoying and really dumb. So, I think that one girl who was playing the tasting game with him doesn't know what senses are. Like, for real. She seemed totally confused.
"We're going to play a game where you can only use three senses!"
"Which senses?"
"I don't know. This game is called 'name the sense.'"
Also, what was up with this rant from Chris?
"The words were coming out faster than my brain could comprehend. So as things were going over my head I started to think of rainbows and unicorns."
Was he trying to be funny here?

I think he was just trying to say she just monopolized the conversation, but not with stimulating, worthwhile verses.
And he wasn't hot for her.
Watching the first night's "season preview", it seemed that Kelsey would be the likely winner here. But watching her bitch about California vs. Michigan lakes was not endearing to the audience.
I think the Bee said what we were all thinking.
He does seem to have a bit of a beer belly, but it's a muscled, beefy beer belly, as opposed to a fat beer belly. (see, er, me for that.) and he has pretty eyes, and seems like "a nice guy". And they didn't shave his chest. I can work with all that.

This season is a huge snore. Chris is one if the worst Bachelors ever, with his no lips and making out with ever woman in front of the others, and his inability to string together a coherent sentence when put in the spot. Plus his ties to the GOP make him even less appealing to me. No thanks!
Plus we have asket case Kardashley talking about her hymen vmever 3 seconds and I am just about to not accept a rose.

I love how when one of the women (or men, but it's usually women) start to challenge the behavior of the main person and the premise of the show, usually that leads to the Bachelor walking over to the girls and making a speech about how they need to be here for "the right reasons." It always feels like a "drink the Kool-Aid" moment of deflection after a contestant points out the messiness of the show's premise and how the show provokes some pretty slimy behavior from the Bachelors.

It was supposed to be a funny line, Chris just couldn't deliver it. The writers can give Chris all the funny lines they want, it will never work because wit and sarcasm doesn't register in that brain of his and it's written all over his duh face.

I've successfully avoided both this show and the Bachelorette entirely (though I know far more about both than I should, just from US Weekly readings and the internet.) But over this last snowstorm, a friend convinced me to catch up via OnDemand and I think we watched 8 hours straight of this crap. And of course, I'm now hooked despite the fact that Chris is just the dullest guy ever.
I was a bit confused by this last episode because Kelsey's gotten very little attention so far (aside from the bitching at the lake) and then got the full-scale crazy person edit all at once. Much like with Ashley S., she seems like she's acting a part and I'm not finding it particularly entertaining.
From a pure entertainment standpoint, I'm an Ashley I. fan because she seems so genuinely, aggressively spoiled/entitled and it amuses me that she can't hide her outrage at not automatically winning. The wine drinking, princess-dress-clad, corn on the cob eating pout-fest would have seemed like producer influenced bullshit if it had come from anyone else, but with her, it came across as completely natural reaction.
That's not to say I like her or am rooting for her to win, but she does entertain me. I just hope she doesn't wind up the next Bachelorette because she's only interesting in the setting of having to deal with a bunch of other women who are just as pretty and used to getting attention as she is. She would be wholly insufferable if it was just her and a bunch of guys sucking up to her.
I kinda wish Jillian had stuck around a little longer, she also seemed incapable of being anything but herself regardless of how that was coming across to others. I felt bad for her in her last moments when she took just a beat too long to realize that she was being let go. She had a big grin when Chris started his speech about how nice it was getting to know her and then as it dawned on her, the smile dropped in tiny increments until he got to the end of his typically slow, boring, inarticulate monotone speech.
I'm guessing Britt and Kaitlynn will be in the top 3 but not sure about the last 1. Maybe Jade?

Oh, they would never cast Ashley I. as the Bachelorette. They usually at least try for someone bearable and stable. Ashley I. will probably end up on one of the super tacky spin-off shows like Bachelor in Paradise where here kind of drama flourishes.
My guesses for the top three are Whitney (who actually seems normal... or at least not mean-spirited), Kaitlyn, and Jade.
And Kelsey sure got the crazy edit. But she also gave it to them. That speech she gave to Chris was calculated, and her talking head during that time was really weird. One of my friends did some googling, and her husband was apparently a notable classical musician who was quite a bit older than her (she was 19 when they met).
