Was weather/temperatures for FRC sleuthed on here already? It seemed like it was colder according to Chris post-FRC (frost/snow?)

Following the FRC the weather was cold--about 10-15 degrees below normal temps. (we went to Florida and were really glad to get away from the cold)
Weatherunderground says it was lo of 10 and hi of 24 in Waterloo which is close. I also checked Strawberry Point. Same. Wind gusts up to 40mph. All in all horrible weather for November.

Wow. That is cold. Makes sense then that F1 could have stayed with Chris and less people out and about in that cold. Brrr. Oh well, more cosy for Chris if he did have some time at his place with his final girl post-FRC.

Now wondering about that FRC and where it was exactly... something about a barn? Must have been heated inside somehow if so. Holding thumbs this will be a good season. After JP, the bar is not that high so it is doable ;)

Imagine how you would feel if you were sent home but he kept Tara and Ashley S....yikes!   I have to see more of them to really form much of an opinion except for the over the top ones  that stuck out.

I am not crazy about Brit, she does not seem sincere to me at all and one thing I would bet on is that LA gal would never move to rural Iowa. He seems to have many in his top six (if you believe the spoilers) that don't seem to be there for Chris and   to fall in luuuvvve.

I always wonder if the choice were totally his to make (it's not IMO) who would he keep? I really like Chris so far.

Ha-ha-ha, right!!!

When is Ashley S kicked off? I really hope she is there as long as possible!!

She looks like Peyton from One Tree Hill I think the actress's name is Hilarie Burton, especially in the later seasons.

All threads are now open.

Nikki looked great!

Kasha, it looks like you aren't the only one with a ouija board.  I suspected he maybe had to get back to the farm.

Well over all, not as bad as I had anticipated.

Chris came across much better than I thought he would. I expected him to be stiff, but he was charming, funny, a bit awkward, a tad overwhelmed and most importantly, genuine. I cannot say the same for his ladies.

If I had to pick just based on tonight, I would say he is really into Britt the most at this point. Very physically into her, but I could see that diminishing as he gets to know the others and starts (hopefully), reading her better...wannabe actress that she is. She is going to annoy me with all her happy, fake perkiness and sincerity. Of course, later she will apparently annoy me with her fake crying audition for the next Bette. (Ali you have a lot to answer for!)

The other one that he seemed to really like was Whitney. I noticed that he was holding her hand with both of his as they sat talking and they seem to have more in common. She seemed much more genuine and sincerely there for him.

Chris also seemed to really like Kaitlyn, however that came off as more of someone he would like to hang with and have fun with vs. any real physical attraction or serious interest. Of course, it is early days yet.

Generally I thought he was harder to read since he basically checked out almost every girl. Usually you get that kind of reaction towards a few of the contestants but, with him it seemed with almost everyone. Hopefully, that will change as we get into the season since I just watched him on Kimmel and the poor guy cannot seem to hide anything. He blushed throughout and during the crazy or not game admitted that the onion lady is crazy and that Kaitlyn was a lot of fun...yes. (Guessing that had to do with her stripping.) Jimmy had to stop him and tell him that he usually does not get that much info...that he was supposed be trying to stump him, not tell him the truth. They seemed to really get along and sounded like they had a great time filming that episode. Seems like it will be a lot of fun.
