The Bachelor star Chris Soules admits there were some serious red flags in regards to his relationship with Britt Nilsson by the end of his week of dates in Iowa.

Nilsson visited Arlington with Kaitlyn Bristowe, Becca Tilley and Carly Waddell when they had some down time in Iowa. Nilsson was, at first, shocked by how small Soules' hometown was. The girls alleged that Nilsson said she could never envision herself living there. However, Nilsson gushed to Soules about how beautiful it was and how much she'd love to start a family with him there.

"Hearing Britt talk about Arlington was even more surprising. For a girl who lives in L.A., she sure seemed overly enthusiastic about my small town life. I mean, I know Arlington is great because I was raised there, but I would totally understand someone initially being skeptical of it. So it was a bit weird to me to see how eager she was, but I had no reason not to believe her," Soules wrote in his People blog.

Waddell then told Soules that Nilsson was being fake, and if he picked her in the end, he'd probably get hurt. Waddell explained that Nilsson trashed Arlington immediately only to later say "a sunset" on the ride home made her change her mind.

"Hearing what Carly had to say really caught me off guard, especially because of the things Britt said to me just minutes before. Truthfully, I was shocked and I knew I needed to talk to Britt. How could someone change her mind so drastically, so quickly? I needed to get to the bottom of this. Later that night, I decided to talk to Britt right away," Soules explained.

"I couldn't go through the whole evening with Carly's words on my mind. I totally understand that some of the girls may have been caught off guard seeing my hometown, but the most important part was that all of them were completely honest with me. I just decided the best thing to do was to discuss this with Britt. Hearing her say she never said those things about Arlington just confused me."

Soules realized someone was not telling him the truth, and he wasn't sure whom to believe.

"It hurt to know that one of these girls was lying. The entire situation was concerning. Other than what Carly had said, I had no reason not to believe Britt. However, her extremely over-the-top reaction from earlier was still on my mind. How could she be that excited about Arlington? Was Britt, like Kaitlyn said, molding herself to be who she thought I wanted her to be? Anyway, I couldn't spend my whole night talking to Britt so I moved on. #redflags," he wrote.

Soules was later disappointed by Nilsson's actions again. When he gave Bristowe the group date's rose to reassure her that their connection was "special" and "real," Nilsson flipped out because she had badly wanted validation before the hometown dates.

"It was hard for me to hear that she felt like she was playing catch-up because I felt our relationship was far beyond many of the others. As hard as it was to see Kaitlyn worried, I was happy to see that she actually had a vulnerable side, and it made me realize just how serious she was taking everything. I wanted to reinforce what I was telling her, and the rose was the best way to do so. Little did I know where it would lead," the Bachelor said.

"Britt's reaction to me giving Kaitlyn the rose confused and hurt me, considering the fact she not only received a rose on the last group date, I gave her the rose on a stage with Big & Rich during their concert; something that all of the other girls would have loved to experience. The police sirens going off in the background during that conversation felt like some sort of omen."

Soules admitted "the whole thing was weird" and he didn't even understand what was happening when Nilsson was confronting him about her feelings in front of the other girls. Soules wasn't even sure if Nilsson just wanted to go home.

"I felt really bad for the other girls, especially Carly who hadn't received a rose either. Her behavior then seemed so contrary to everything I'd seen of her until that point. It was like she'd done a complete 180. Was she putting on a show this whole time? I couldn't believe she was trying to have that conversation with me in front of two girls I was also in relationships with and acting as if she was the only one there," Soules explained.

"I certainly did not think it was respectful for us to continue that conversation in front of Kaitlyn and Carly, so I had to walk away. I left feeling shocked and confused. It was a side to Britt I'd never seen, and in complete contrast to the girl I spoke to on the bridge earlier in the day."

In his blog, Soules also teased what's to come during Monday night's episode.

"Things definitely come to a head tomorrow, so you'll have to tune in to find out what happens. Also tomorrow, I head to the remaining four women's hometowns. How will I react to Jade's scandalous past? Will Becca tell me her secret? And whose family doesn't give me their blessing? It's all happening tomorrow night!" he said.
