Chris Soules promised that Season 19 of the Bachelor was going to be much different that the last on account of how he respected the contestants so much more the then Venezuelan entertainment consultant, Juan Pablo, but just a few episodes in the Iowa farmer has admittedly kissed more than his fair share of the ladies on the TV show in 2015. According to the latest gossip news updates, Soules is defending his reputation through his blog -- explaining that kissing compatibility is a big part of any relationship. From day one Chris, has talked about what a difficult decision finding a wife on the ABC series was ultimately going to be, but word has it some of the ladies are making it harder than it is supposed to be by acting like someone completely different on the show, instead of just pretending to be themselves.
Chris Soules knows that if the people at home weren't counting all the different girls he has already made out with on the Bachelor to this point, they sure would be after Mackenzie brought it to everyone's attention on the show.
That is why in his latest Bachelor blog, Soules explained that he was just doing his best to find the right woman for him -- and she needs to be one hell of a kisser (via People):
"I know I've maybe kissed more girls at this point than the average Bachelor, but I was taking things seriously, and isn't kissing a huge part of any romantic relationship?
"I'm very grateful for Amber, who stood up for me when the girls were talking it over.
"Amber, you're right. I'm just trying to find my wife."
When Chris explained the philandering to E! News, he put in a bit more eloquently -- explaining it would boarder on negligence not to kiss every contestant that let him:
"This is such a magnified and short period of time to meet your wife.
"And for me to truly find out if we have that chemistry or things are there, I wanted to live in every moment, and take each individual relationship really seriously.
"And part of that is kissing and being in the moment."
In the Bachelor's defense making out with some of these girls for hours on end may be the only way to get to the core of who these ladies really are.
According to the latest February 2, issue of Star Magazine season standout Ashley Salter is almost definitely acting crazy to get attention from Hollywood.
The publication insists that it was able to find Salter's acting and modeling profile already up and running on an online talent agency's website -- effectively proving her intentions to use the Bachelor as a stepping stone.
God only knows what Chris is going to have to do to Ashley to finally get to the bottom of this.
