Of all the Bachelor/Bachelorette contestants that I've interviewed, Chris Soules is hands-down my favorite. In person, the handsome farmer turned reality-show contestant is as sweet and down-to-earth as you could possibly imagine (not to mention he gives the best hugs). It's easy to get caught up in the fame and excitement of Hollywood, yet he is one of the few who hasn't changed a bit. Needless to say, it's also why I'm thrilled he's on the 20th season of Dancing With the Stars, premiering tonight. Over the weekend, I met up with Soules during DWTS rehearsal to talk awkward Bachelor moments, his relationship with Whitney since the finale, and why his mom is going to be flipping out at DWTS.

Glamour: Back in early January, I said to you, "You need to be on Dancing With the Stars!" So when did the show actually approach you?

Chris Soules: Ha-ha. It's been about three weeks.

Glamour: What took them so long?!

Chris: I don't know. Probably because they think I can't dance! They didn't want to mess around with an uncoordinated farmer.

Glamour: I watched some of your rehearsal and you actually can move!

Chris: Well, I have some itty-bitty moves. [Laughs]

Glamour: Had you watched DWTS before?

Chris: Yes. Actually, my parents are crazy fans. My mom will not miss it. It's pretty hilarious. She likes The Bachelor, but DWTS makes her evening! She anticipates it and just loves it. I've watched a fair amount of episodes, and I enjoy it, but I'm not a die-hard fan like they are.

Glamour: Will they be in the audience tonight?

Chris: You better believe it. She's not going to miss it!

Glamour: Has Whitney had a chance to come to DWTS rehearsals yet?

Chris: No. I'm kind of hesitant because right now it's something I'm trying to be really focused on, and I want her to come when I'm sort of good and able to have the steps come easily. I can't have any distractions and don't want her to see me make a fool of myself yet.

Glamour: I've been watching a lot of the press you've done since the finale, and I'd imagine it's not easy having everyone ask you about when a wedding might be. I mean, nothing about this process is normal!
