‘The Bachelor’ spoilers: Jade Roper angles for alone time with Chris Soules

Before this season of “The Bachelor” started, we marked Jade Roper as one of the contestants worth watching. However, since that time, she has been surprisingly quiet.

Well, that may change in part on the new episode of the show that is airing come Monday night on ABC. In the sneak peek video below (courtesy of TV Guide), you can see her make a big move and get a tour of Chris Soules’ pad he is staying at. With it so close to where the women are this season, didn’t you know that this was coming at some point? You had to. He shows her a few rooms, reassures her, and then the two make out on the bed. Seriously, this guy is not shy when it comes to kissing people.

While all of this is happening, Jade and Chris seem to be completely unaware of a woman who is chilling out in the hot tub, which is clearly the one place people on this show frequently head for attention. Need we explain this further? We think not.

Could this particular scene make Jade into more of a favorite in Chris’ eyes? It may be a little early to say that with complete confidence, but there is no doubting to us that it will be a feather in her cap moving forward. She hasn’t had a one-on-one date yet, so she really needs to take advantage of every opportunity that she has.

We’re going to have more previews when it comes to “The Bachelor” all weekend, so be sure to keep an eye out for some of those.
