Is the preview for next week posted anywhere online? I missed it last night. Any help in pointing me toward a source would be greatly appreciated!

I put this elsewhere but I am worried about Whitney now and feel Chris is kind of taking her for granted and not seeing and caring for the vulnerability in her. It's of course the edit but I do see him caring very deeply and being sort of soulfully drawn to Becca. His Dad's comments and Becca's hesitations in the preview feel real and raw and true.  And assuming Whitney gets the first date, that they see Chris wanting Becca is a really really big deal. I'm not convinced. I think I'm now a Whitney fan more than a Chris and Whitney fan...reassure me!

I feel the same way and posted about it late,late last night after seeing the episode. I too have shifted to a Whitney fan more so than a Chris and Whitney fan.  I don't want to feel like Whitney was a default pick- she deserves better. I read the comments from the vets with far better recall of prior season edit patterns and feel reassured temporarily, but I still have this nagging thought from the previews that she was a default pick,despite knowing the previews are usually meant to mislead us and frequently are very,very different from the actual episode. I feel like there is a battle going on inside my brain and I wish it would stop!

ITA. I keep trying to convince myself that Chris' decision is really between working towards something that is "possible" with Becca vs. appreciating the relationship that is already there (I think on both their parts) with Whitney. If Chris decides to choose Whitney because the relationship has already progressed to that place, I hope he doesn't have regrets later about the "possibility" that Becca represents.

What I hope doesn't happen is that Chris is pressured, ala Jason mesnick, to choose Whitney because that assures a successful proposal as opposed to Becca who hasn't reached a point where she is likely to say yes.

Thanks Jen, you're great!

It's also on youtube, I posted in Whitney's thread!

[Rolly]

Is their date up on youtube  yet?

Yes it is

What is it under? I couldn't find it.

As far as "possibilities" for Becca, I see some. The possibility that she may mature. The possibility that she may continue her education. The possibility that she may one day have a real job. The possibility that she might understand love and experience an adult relationship. But she hasn't yet. They're all potentially in her future.

I see the "Nows" for Whitney. Now a mature woman. Now an educated woman. Now a skilled and professional. Now a woman who's experienced real relationships. All in the now.

Chris is in the now. The only thing he hasn't experienced yet is parenthood. And I believe Whitney is as ready for marriage and that as he.

I am not buying this whole Chris chose Whitney but wanted Becca crap.

In that clip, we see & hear Chris's father say "I think Whitney's a sure thing, but I think Becca is who Chris wants......." and then it cuts off abruptly. Maybe it REALLY ends something like "Becca is who Chris wants to open up about her real feelings".

Too many producer tricks to take that CLIP at face value.

I don't buy it either, Diana.

I think until the finale airs I am going to hang on to this....Ellen asked these two questions to Chris's mom and two of his sisters at the end of the conversation with Chris on Monday. "Do you like who he picked?" "Are you happy with the lady that he picked?"  The sisters and his mom all gave the thumbs up sign and they all looked so joyful.  His sister sitting next to his mom said this - "We are very happy" (emphasizing VERY) , "All worth it" and "Awesome person" (used to describe who he picked).  This also makes me think that the relationship post taping between he and his F1 (whom I believe is Whitney) has continued to grow into something even more special than we got to see on the show.  I will not waver anymore after seeing this clip - Whitney is the one!!!

If you look at the clip it is put together very carefully. It's definitely the dad's voice but you only actually see him saying the words "what Chris wants." I'd have to look again to be certain, but I'm pretty sure those words were edited together carefully- for a purpose. ( keep creating the doubt)

I agree that clip was as finely chopped & diced as a Cobb Salad!
