Kris told OK!, "It's always a little awkward to heard that theme music. It makes me a little nervous." Plus, when he's watching the show he mentioned it's "a little weird" to see his very own face in the show's credits.
Weirdness aside, Kris was looking forward to enjoying the show and rooting for Lauren! Haley and Lauren were his two favorites this year. He confessed to OK!, "So I am rooting for Lauren. I like Scotty. Scotty's great, he's got his thing." Overall though, he thinks the all-country final is pretty cool. "I think it's amazing. I think it's great for the show.
