ABC couldn’t have picked a more romantic setting for the dates where its reality show participants from the Bachelor get intimate.
This season (already season 19!) on the Bachelor, the man who gets to pick from a swarm of women is Chris Soules, dubbed Farmer Chris and Prince Farming (obvi for his rural occupation).
The show was set in Bali, our romantic Island of the Gods for the “fantasy suites” episode, where Farmer Chris had an opportunity to spend private overnight time individually with his final three contestants to be his fiancé (pending their acceptance). Lucky for Soules, all the ladies who made it to week 10 accepted spending the night with him, but one of them who says she’s still a virgin specified that she wanted to “stay up late talking” and not get risqué with her TV beau.
We already knew from spoilers way back in November announcing the show’s visit to Bali that Whitney Bischoff and Becca Tilley would be the last two ladies standing to go to the final rose ceremony where Farmer Chris is supposed to propose to his one true love that he met on reality TV. This spoiler was right on the money, as Kaitlyn Bristowe was the one who was sent home on the episode that aired Monday, even after she put up with Soules getting peed on and not changing his shirt at Ubud’s Monkey Forest!
With ABC’s impressive budget, the network appeared to have pulled out all the stops in Bali for Farmer Chris and his contestants with fancy airy villas with private pools, exclusive ceremonies at Balinese temples, giant boats, and the provision of bananas to give the monkeys in the Monkey Forest.
If a romantic getway planned by reality TV show producers isn’t enough to make these reality show participants go bananas over each other, then what is?
According to the network’s schedule, fans will have to wait until mid-March to see who Soules decides to plow with back at his farm.
