15. Chris Harrison Drinks A Lot Of Mimosas And Plays A Lot Of Golf
There’s no doubt that Chris Harrison plays an integral role in The Bachelor franchise. He acts as a mentor, a confidant, and sometimes offers insight that the leads can’t see from their own perspective. He really is the glue that holds the shows together.
But what does he do in all of his downtime? He doesn’t accompany the couples on their dates, he doesn’t hang out in the house with contestants, and he’s not around for the bulk of the cocktail parties. Where is he?
For one, he’s a published author. He wrote The Perfect Letter: A Novel. Amazon says, “Chris draws on his unique insights and wisdom in a remarkable debut novel that explores love and its consequences—a must-read for Bachelor fans and hopeless romantics everywhere.” Maybe he used the time between shots to pen his first work of fiction.
Other sources reveal, “Chris often spends his downtime wrapped in a comfy robe sipping mimosas,” because who wouldn’t given the same circumstances. This doesn’t distract from his duties, however. Ben Higgins has nothing but praise, “Chris is that confidant. He really is that role you see on television. As the bachelor, it was nice—even at night sometimes—when it was getting really tough, for him to come over for a drink and sit down. We would talk about life, and who’s still there, and what I’m thinking.”
