We knew that helicopter ride on last night's "The Bachelor" with Ashley I. and Crazy Kelsey was awful, but Chris Soules says it was worse than what aired.
In his latest blog, the 33-year-old shared details of his two-on-one date with the ladies, including the fact that the helicopter ride to the Badlands was two full hours of miserable insanity.
"That helicopter ride into the Badlands was probably the most uncomfortable ride I have experienced in my entire life. You'd think I would have been excited just to be in a helicopter, but I could actually physically feel the tension between those girls," he wrote in his blog posted on People.com. "I felt like me sitting in between them was the only thing keeping the girls from strangling each other. What some of you might not know is that the ride was two hours. TWO HOURS. And it was hot in there! Do you know how long two hours is when you're stuck in a hot chopper with two women who really really, really don't like each other?

"I didn't know how to handle the situation because I felt like if I even looked at one of the girls longer than the other, crazy jealousy would ensue, and this two-on-one date would turn into a dramatic wrestling match between two women, resulting in a chopper crash in the Badlands with me in it," he continued. "Therefore, I spent the majority of the time not looking at, or touching, either of the girls in order to ensure the safety of all who were aboard this steamy chopper full of hate."
(Wow, Chris. You're really selling us on this experience!)
Prince Farming took a lot of heat online (and buckets of tears from Ashley I.) for telling Kelsey that Ms. Eyelashes herself had ratted her out for being the worst insincere and not getting along with the rest of the ladies.
However, Chris said Kelsey deserved the opportunity to defend herself – and he had a sneaking suspicion she was completely insane faking some of her over-the-top drama.
"Honestly, there was just something about the way Kelsey was talking that made me feel like she was being insincere," he wrote. "Her responses seemed almost calculated, and I felt the same weird way I'd felt when she was having her panic attack in New Mexico."
And the Iowa-native swears his decision to cut Ashley loose had nothing to do with her assertions about Kelsey.

"With regard to Ashley, getting to spend more time with her that day answered the questions I had about our future. I want to reiterate that it had NOTHING to do with her telling me about Kelsey, but I do feel she was just not ready for the kind of commitment I'm ready for," he wrote. "Also, like I said to her, I just couldn't imagine her being happy in my world."
"The Bachelor" continues Monday at 8/7c on ABC.
