The Bachelor will introduce Chris Soules as its newest star when the show premieres January 5, so how will he be different from last season's polarizing and controversial star Juan Pablo Galavis?

"And going into this process, I was going to make the most out of every second and treat every woman with the respect they deserve. I mean, I think that's one thing [that separates us] from what I saw in how Juan Pablo handled things -- maybe not with the most respect for some of the women and not as much respect for the process that it deserved. I think we were very different in that regard."
Soules, a 33-year-old farmer and businessman from Arlington, IA, was known during Andi Dorfman's The Bachelorette season for being a kind, down-to-earth gentleman. And that's exactly how he intended to play it on The Bachelor's nineteenth edition.
"I went into the last season with Andi as myself, and that's all I can be. I learned that lesson and learned that things worked out. Obviously I didn't get to where I hoped at that point, but I felt like I was successful and did the best I could to make that relationship work, and it didn't work out for obvious reasons," Soules continued.
"But going into this, I kind of stuck with that [mission] of being myself and knowing that if I did that, then things would work out the way they were supposed to work out."
The Bachelor's next edition will feature Soules trying to find the love of his life among a record-breaking 30 women on ABC.
