The Bachelor host Chris Harrison feels bachelorette Andi Dorfman was forcing herself to feel a love connection with the show's star Juan Pablo Galavis at this point in the season.

"I was a little surprised, but I feel like with Andi she might've talked herself into it," Harrison told TV Guide in a recent interview.
"You'd have to specifically ask her, but that's the impression I get. She wants this so bad she's going to convince herself after spending this much time with him [that] there's something there."
Dorfman felt she had a great hometown date but didn't realize at the time her father Hy had refused to give Galavis permission to potentially marry his daughter.
"Hy is awesome. I always think of how I'd act if my daughter brought a guy home, and it was this scenario and he spoke for all us dads out there. Juan Pablo has weeks to show his emotions and feelings, but to walk into a pretty tense situation and try and articulate everything in one evening, it's a little much. I don't think Hy was rude at all, but brutally and lovingly honest which is what made Juan Pablo take the direction as more endearing than [thinking] he was a jerk," Harrison explained.
"I think we've seen throughout the season, especially with [Sharleen Joynt] and [Clare Crawley], [Juan Pablo] is not great at reading body language and understanding the moment. He's missed a lot of cues and red flags and this is really no different. I think a lot of other guys would've come off that date thinking, 'Man, that was not smooth sailing.' But he's a little bit oblivious to that kind of stuff."
Harrison, who called Dorfman a "badass" and his "kind of girl," also teased Tuesday night's overnight fantasy-suite date that's supposed to be "exotic" and ultimately a disaster. A show source told Us Weekly a woman -- widely believed to be Dorfman -- will dump Galavis for being an immature, rude, arrogant asshole after having sex.
"We've never had a fantasy suite turn into a nightmare and we've never had one seemingly begin so well and end so badly and easily change the end of the show," Harrison told TV Guide.
