The Bachelor franchise's latest spin-off show is called The Bachelor Presents: Listen To Your Heart. Host Chris Harrison thinks that one couple, Chris Watson and Bri Stauss will end up being so successful, that he's confident in comparing them to Jade and Tanner Tolbert.
One of the most beloved couples from the franchise is Jade and Tanner. They blazed the trail for Bachelor in Paradise relationships during the show's second season because, well, let's face it, that not-even-legal commitment ceremony that Lacy Faddoul Marcus Grodd had does not count. Honestly, there's just a lot to keep track of on this new show, but host Chris Harrison actually believes there's a strong love story in the works, and even a Jade and Tanner caliber couple.
During an appearance on Nick Viall's (cleverly named) podcast The Viall Files, Chris explained that the appeal of this show is that "you're getting everybody's [perspective]." He shared, "It really is like Paradise where there are so many different layers and so many different relationships and they're very different." That is an acceptable comparison. After saying that, the host went on to make a pretty bold declaration. He predicted, "Then, you have the Jade and Tanner of it all with Chris and Bri, who are just going to go and have their own show."
In response, Nick commented that Chris Watson is "super sweet," which was an on-point observation. Chris elaborated on his prediction, telling the former Bachelor lead, "I think they're gonna be the Jade and Tanner where they're just like 'You know what, we fell in love. We're gonna go and do our thing. You guys can go mess around.'" That does seem to be the case so far. There has been zero drama for Chris and Bri. Still, the seasoned host made sure not to give too much away by casting some doubt about the duo's future. He teased, "We'll see if that lasts and that's the thing, these relationships that are seemingly strong will be and flow and people change. That's when it gets interesting."
While it's so tough to compare any couple to the gold standard that Jade and Tanner have created, Chris does have some points. The fans have seen little glimpses of Bri and Chris here and there in every episode to keep the intrigue going, yet their storyline is not so in-your-face that it's a red herring for a disastrous breakup. This lines up perfectly with Bachelor In Paradise season 2. Carly Waddell and Kirk DeWindt were that couple constantly talking about the strength of their relationship, only to blindside everyone with their breakup. Meanwhile, Jade and Tanner quietly did their own thing and now they're married with two kids. Considering how much everyone loves Jade and Tanner, and Bachelor couples in general, fans would welcome a pair that's reminiscent of the iconic duo. But, let's keep it real, there is only one Jade and Tanner.
Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart airs Mondays at 8pm EST on ABC.
