‘The Bachelor’ Chris Soules: Does Britt Smell? Did He Really ‘Shush’ Carly?

Breathe a deep sigh of relief — a burning, very important question from last night’s “The Bachelor” has been answered.

Chris Soules has weighed in on whether non-showering beauty Britt smells bad.

“About all that showering business, Britt always smelled good – and looked good – so I really don’t know what to say about that,” the 33-year-old “Bachelor” revealed in his blog posted on People.com on Tuesday.

We’re still not exactly sure why the 27-year-old waitress, who puts makeup ON before she goes to bed, rarely showers (something about wanting Chris to be surprised when she shaves her legs? What?), but Prince Farming seems to be OK with her hygiene, or lack thereof.

“I’m the kind of guy who showers every day (as all of America gets to see!),” Chris continued in his blog. “But to each her own, right?”

And did the “Bachelor” really “shush” traumatized Carly so he could make out with apparently-not-stinky Britt in silence?

“I did not mean to shush Carly. I don’t even remember doing that. I do remember trying to stay quiet (and that is hard to do when a camera crew is following you everywhere you go). I’m sure I shushed the camera crew, the producers, the housekeepers we walked by in the hall, the ice machine and yes, maybe even a couple of the girls,” Chris wrote. “I just didn’t want to ruin the surprise! Carly, I’m sorry about that. And, in hindsight, I shouldn’t have kissed Britt with the other girls in the room, but I honestly couldn’t help myself.”

As for whether crazy pants Kelsey really had a panic attack, Chris said we’ll just have “tune in next week to find out.” (Booooooo.)

“The Bachelor” continues Monday at 8/7c on ABC.
