Bachelor contestant Kaitlyn Bristowe claimed that she was shocked by her elimination in Bali by Bachelor Chris Soules. And even Chris seemed really unsure of his decision pulling Becca Tilley aside first–a move that Kaitlyn felt surely meant she was still in.
Kaitlyn later claimed that she was shocked by the elimination because Chris told her he was “falling in love with her”. It was obvious that the break up was not easy for Chris and that he was questioning the decision. He revealed more in his People blog:
“As excited and happy as I was to be in Bali, I was nervous, almost scared, because I knew I was falling in love with the remaining three women, and, from the start of the week, I had a dark cloud hanging over me knowing I’d have to say goodbye to one of them.”
“Seeing Kaitlyn in Bali was surreal. The last time I saw her was in Iowa at the rose ceremony, now all of a sudden we were in Bali together; it was pretty incredible. Walking around Denpasar was very cool. We chatted with locals, listened to some kids play guitar, drank beer with others….Seriously, though, I really felt like I was on vacation with my girlfriend.”
He goes on to discuss his Fantasy Suite with Becca Tilley and how the encounter made him more confused than ever.
“I woke up the following morning in a raw, emotional state. I thought I would have more clarity about my relationship with Becca, but I was more confused than ever…..”
“…. that last day in Bali was probably one of the hardest days of my life. I truly woke up not knowing who I was going to say goodbye to, and I hated the fact that I had to send someone home. I know I signed up for it, but I wasn’t ready to end any of my relationships. I was falling in love with all three of them, and they each possessed qualities I could see in my future wife. I really wanted them all to meet my family knowing they could help me make this difficult decision.”
Thank GOD, love advisor Chris Harrison was on hand for a consult:
“Talking with Chris Harrison really helped me. He asked me tough questions and helped me pinpoint my feelings. He made me question things in my own heart and in my own mind, and he forced me to think about things in a way I hadn’t up until that point.”…..
he goes on to say that after the convo with Chris he knew he could not say goodbye to Becca.
“Knowing I was about to say goodbye to Kaitlyn hurt me so much, especially after the incredible day and night we had just spent together. Saying goodbye to her was physically painful. I could feel the sadness in her eyes, and, trust me, I was really hurting too. When she asked me, “What happened?” I really didn’t know what to say because it wasn’t one thing that “happened.” It was simply that I had to make a decision that I honestly wasn’t ready to make, and I had to go with my gut. Man, that was brutal. It was just as hard to watch it.”
Don’t worry Chris. I think you made the right decision. Kaitlyn looks like she is Aok! Especially since ABC has chosen her to be The Bachelorette. This was a win win!
