The Bachelor bachelorette Britt Nilsson says she was "absolutely" falling in love with Chris Soules and if it wasn't for Carly Waddell throwing her under the bus, she thinks she would've ended up with Chris.

During Monday night's The Women Tell All special, Britt told host Chris Harrison she was crazy about the Bachelor and no manipulation was ever involved in their relationship.
"I actually feel like I was [in love]. I feel like I was [extremely] close," said Britt, who cried pretty much the entire time she was in the hot seat. "Our connection was instantaneous. When I think about it in a big picture, I just believe it wasn't sour until Carly talked to him."
When Britt thought the broadcast was on a commercial break, she noted that she probably would've won Chris' heart had Carly not expressed to the Bachelor she was fake and disingenuous.
"I never felt that before. It was like [magnetism] and it was never gone until that night," Britt said of her elimination.

Britt, who insisted she went on the show for love only, accused Carly of "pretending" and "acting" like they were best friends. Britt called her out for acting like an "evil" person, however, she's not mad at Carly for "demonizing" her since it was coming from a place of pain. Jillian Anderson yelled at Carly for being insecure and mean to someone who is so positive, sweet and pure.
Britt also confronted Ashley Iaconetti about telling Chris she didn't want to have children. That was another point that made Chris question Britt's sincerity this season.
"I am ready to get married. I would never say that I would not want children," she said, clarifying that she wants children more than anything.
And Britt, a waitress from Los Angeles, also said "yes" she would move to Arlington, IA, had Chris selected her. She just needed to process what life would be like on the farm before she could really get excited about it, and Britt thought she was simply confiding her feelings in her friends when she was initially wavering.
"It's beautiful. I was not lying when I said that. It's beautiful. It reminds me of where I grew up. People live in homes in the countryside. That's the life I would be having with him and it would be with him most importantly," Britt explained.

Jade had also questioned Britt's "authenticity" because she'd have concerns behind closed doors and then act like everything was perfect with Chris.
When Chris finally came out on the stage to talk, Britt immediately burst into tears. She gave him an unusually long hug, similar to the one they had shared during The Bachelor's premiere, and she said she didn't blame Chris for believing Carly's negative claims since she was so convincing and conniving. Chris assured Britt he broke up with her because of how he felt about their relationship.
Chris' revelation comforted Britt, and the Bachelor told her that any guy would be super lucky to end up with her.
