The Chris Lambton FANSITE  

Cape guy could win Bachelorette’s rose

Chris Lambton, the Cape Cod landscaper trying to win the hand of “The Bachelorette,” Ali Fedotowsky, will advance to the season finale after tonight’s episode, we’re told. But insurance salesman Roberto Martinez is still the odds-on fave to wind up with the final rose.

We told you weeks ago that the buzz from the Cape is that Chris makes the final two. Meaning that the annoying Frank Neuschaefer finally will get his walking papers tonight.

Spoiler alert! Internet rumor has it that Frank will confess to Ali that he’s still hung up on an ex, devastating her in Tahiti and setting up the finale showdown between Chris and Roberto.

Ali, a Williamstown homegal, has appeared to be more into Roberto throughout her husband-hunting odyssey, but that could be clever editing in order to deliver a surprise ending. Because our spies in Ali’s hometown report that The Bachelorette “doesn’t have to drive far” to see her new guy. (Williamstown-to-Cape Cod is certainly a doable commute, but Ali actually lives in L.A., for whatever that’s worth . . .)

The locals also are gabbing that the pride of western Mass. is “very happy,” which tends to confirm reports that there is a proposal coming and that she accepts.

As for Chris, the Dennis homey is cool with hoop star Shaquille O’Neal ripping off and tweeting the sweet nothing he whispered to Ali last Monday night. “Love is the only reality,” Shaq tweeted, quoting Chris, who was quoting his dad.

Such sensitive guys!

But even if our Cape Cod hunk doesn’t score the final rose, we have a feeling his televised search for Ms. Right may not be over. Former Bachelorette DeAnna Pappas said she doesn’t know who Ali eventually will end up with, but she thinks Chris will make a fine candidate for the next “The Bachelor” show if he loses out to Roberto.
