Chris was certainly a plausible bottom 3 base on the DI figures but.....
I found it interesting that they focused on Chris's wife immediately after Paris was sent back. Probably a good production shot on the fly but could have also been "scripted". I'd be willing to bet that Chris does not grace the bottom three again. Remember that Reuben and Bo were in the bottom three and made it to the finals. There might have been others I'm not sure...
Oh I understand, someone else should have been there all right! I've read a lot of articles and it was pointed out in one that while Chris did a good job it wasn't great and it didn't stand the night, others were better.
It was also suggested that his fans didn't like it so didn't vote. I doubt they are that fickle and surely they must know that he had to follow guidelines. I think his being in the bottom three was merely bad luck. Whose to say who might have been in that bottom three if the lines were open longer. Somebody was falling further and further as the night went on. ;)
