I loved the Cosmo article, thanks sfrank, for binging it over.

So hilarious !
So many people noticed the same things !  

That Cosmo article was awesome!! Oh my word I hadn't even considered the "why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free" reference in JKs cow gift.

Cosmo - Cringe Worthy Moments from the Bachelor Finale

Ugh, I just lost a long post.

Anyway, IMO the reason that Whitney's rose was never in question during rose ceremonies, was that Chris didn't have any questions about her. He knew she was there for him, she was wife material and she was gonna accept a proposal no matter what. It made all the sense in the world to take her to F2, because she was the sure bet and he did enjoy her company and admired her as a person. That doesn't mean she was the frontrunner in his heart. I think he had more of a spark with Britt, then Jade and finally Becca. The first two just turned out to be something else than he thought they were, and Becca didn't fall as fast as he and the show needed her to. Kaitlyn was never an option IMO, at least after HTD's. If anyone was dragged along for the sake of becoming the next lead, it was her. I saw no chemistry during their HTD and FD. The chemistry between Chris and Becca was undeniable though, and most obvious during their two 1-on-1's. The edit for the rest of the season focused mostly on her inexperience, so many may have missed that effortless connection they had since early on. I'm sure we would've seen more of it during the day portion of their LCD, but they conveniently cut that out in order to make Whitney seem like the only choice.

People have been saying that Chris was just doing his job and comparing them to other couples, but I really don't see why. I can't remember a single season where I felt the lead missed out by choosing his F1. Well I did think Nick could've been better for Andi than Josh, but we saw how that "love story" turned out. I never bought Sean with Lindsay. Their relationship actually reminded me of Chris and Whitney. He really liked and admired her as a person and she was perfect for him on paper. The problem is that he never fell for her, he fell for Cat. Much like Chris did with Becca IMHO. Des and Brooks was a one-sided love story all the way. He just wasn't feeling it and didn't see a future with her, so he was never a true option. Becca, however, was falling for Chris and wanted to keep dating him to see where it can go, so she was a legitimate option. Just too risky for wimpy Chris. He didn't want to end up with nothing and have his sisters tell him "we told you so" for the rest of his life. Not an edit. JMO.

I'd argue that Becca wasn't falling for Chris at all. She clearly didn't want to be there and wasn't engaged even when she met his parents. I'm not really a fan of Becca having been on the show and she even said something about it. Chris clearly had feelings for her but I also watched all season and never saw what Becca fans did with him & her. I don't think she was even in the mix but once he kept her perhaps at the producers request he had to go along with it. She's extremely pretty especially those eyes so of course he enjoying being with her but it was like pulling teeth to have a real conversation. They seemed to argue on the LCD and I think that's what happened in the FS that we didn't see. In any case it really doesn't matter at all because they've moved on imo.

^^^i didn't see an agrument. What I saw was real emotion and heartbreak. I saw a man desperately trying to get the woman he loves to say yes to moving to Iowa and a proposal and a woman falling in love for the first time and wanting a future but not willing to make those promises after a collective 72hrs of alone time. It was really sad to watch actually because of the pressure they were under by the constrains of the show.

I noticed the pauses and gulps too, when Whitney was standing in the middle of that dirt road telling us how right it feels to be there. Sure it does.

They had plenty of real conversations on their dates. Two-sided ones even. I don't consider Whitney offering her sales pitch conversation. No offense to her, but talk about selling it hard.

And I saw Becca very engaged during MTP. She was making them all go . She baked them cookies too. That's a lot of effort for people you don't even want to meet. She just wasn't willing to lie and kiss their butts and good for her! I loved the conversation between her and Chris's mom. The mom knew which way Chris was leaning and told her she thinks it's up to her. The way she tried to make Becca realise she was feeling love for her son was very sweet. Such an honest conversation. As was the one between Chris and Becca at the hotel. He just wasn't getting the answer he wanted, because she wasn't ready to give it. That moment felt more real than anything this season IMO.

I know so funny!  This may be my favorite part...

"the place was decorated like someone had had a stroke in an Anthropologie, all candles and stained glass windows and hanging lanterns and empty mason jars. Props to the set dressers for giving it their all, but sometimes you cannot put lipstick on a pig barn. Because it's a pig barn."
