Every year a big deal is often made by the ABC Bachelor about how hard it was eliminating one contestant over another as the Final Rose finale drew closer and closer, but word has it the Season 19 lead, Chris Soules, isn't even trying. According to the latest gossip news updates, when confronted by Kaitlyn Bristowe on The Women Tell All episode, the Iowa farmer boy claims that he ultimately let a coin toss decide her fate on the TV show. It's said that convinced as Kaitlyn was that she would wind up with an engagement ring before the whole thing was over, the actual winner 's mind was blown when a seemingly uninterested Prince Farming asked her to marry him.
Hard is may to believe, Chris Soules might have been to busy spending his time as ABC's Bachelor sucking face with all the girls to have actually taken the time to determine which one he likes more and why.
A behind-the-scenes production source reveals in the March 9, issue of In Touch Weekly that when Kaitlyn Bristowe demands to know why she was sent home after their romantic time in the fantasy suite, the Iowan explains that he left the decision up to fate -- and the US Mint:
"She asked Chris how he could blindside her like that.
"Chris said, 'I flipped a coin!'...He had no other explanation."
Surprisingly, Soules' revelation didn't seem to have the intended effect on his former flame:
"Kaitlyn wasn't comforted by the fact that her fate was left up to a 50/50 coin toss."
Even more interesting is the report in Life & Style that the eventual winner was just as taken aback, when seemingly out of nowhere, Chris decided that she would make the perfect wife.
An informant with the show explained in the magazine that Soules' now-fiancé didn't hardly know what to say when he pulled out that Neil Lane diamond and slid it into her finger:
"He gave her no indication that she was the on...[because] he's still not 100 percent confident in his choice.
"The truth is that down to the very last minute, Chris' heart and mind were not made up."
Perhaps, Chris Soules and his predecessor Juan Pablo have more in common than he would have liked to admit.
