I'm not sure that Sunday is an episode? There is a description in the Epi Thread 7. Maybe someone else knows but the way it's worded it sounds like it's a Chris tell all special without an epi? IDK

I thought it was two hrs. First hour was Chris Tells All and second hour was episode 7. (Iowa dates, Britt leaves) and then Monday is HTD'S. Am I wrong?

I checked on my to do list and it says there's 1 hr of Chris Tell All and then a separate 2 hr episode on Sunday. Monday's epi is also 2 hrs. That sounds like too much Bachelor for me.

- If he hadn't run off to the concert with Britt then TPTB may have given her another 1-1 before HTD. Maybe Chris had already decided he  wanted full day dates with others so eliminated Britt from a epi 7 1-1 by giving her this time.

- if Ashley & Kelsey are both eliminated early in the day, could there be more time with 1 or more of the other girls that we have no knowledge of yet? Or unassigned SCs of?

I think it's more likely that Britt got the 1/1 time simply because he wanted to spend the time with her. I'm also convinced that the F1 spot was hers for the asking... just like it was Brooks, Graham and others in the past. It doesn't mean that the person they would have chosen is the right choice.. it just means that's who the initial attraction is with. He just may have a lasting relationship with Whitney, and I'm pretty sure if he had chosen Britt they'd more than likely be broken up by now, but at this point in time, I am not buying that Whitney was his first choice or that if her and Britt were the last 2 standing that he'd have picked Whit.

I have much respect for those who choose to leave instead of continuing on with the process once they realize that it will never be a mutual love match. I know Brooks wasn't popular for what he did, but him leaving has led to a beautiful love match between Des and the guy she was actually most compatible with. Chris was my favorite guy that season, but she only had eyes for Brooks. It was what it was.... just like Chris is only seeing Britt right now. Once she's gone, he just may develop some sincere feelings for the others, but I'll have to wait and see how it unfolds in future episodes.

Honestly I'm not sure Britt would've made it to even f2. I see some chemistry, but nothing really deep. I don't think Chris is himself around Britt, at least the little they've shown us. There's a weird disconnect there, for me.

IA northernviewer. Britt was his number one up until this point and all the girls including Whit knew it. Britt left and then his focus shifted.

I don't think Britt would have either. I agree, he is attracted to her, but I don't see the same chemistry as I do with Whitney. I do agree that Chris is attracted to Britt, but I think all of the time she is getting is just to play up the drama for when she leaves.

OK. I just watched that preview and I'm sorry but, I am not buying that. Yes, he is attracted to her and she plays that for all it's worth...no doubt "encouraged" by producers for her audition reel. But, I watched when he came back after giving Britt the rose, he is coming in looking all apologetic and not that happy to me. A little over the top for me, but, he is looking at someone and his eyes look like they are pleading for understanding and forgiveness. Yeah, he doesn't want to deal with the others, but he doesn't look happy and neither does she. The others going on about how they are upset and how Britt was over the moon, lots of producer shenanigans here IMO.

Good clip.  The kissing at the song writing part of the date was a big no-no.  Sure, his F1 will have to watch the show when it airs but not that same as being there and seeing it after so many weeks in "the process". 

Strangeness - why do some of the girls still have jackets on?  Chris & Brit were at a concert and you would think the girls would have returned at least an hour before.  I guess they could have been out with producer OR Brit and Chris were only gone for a song or 2. 
 Plus, he just got back from a "date" with Brit so why did he put his hand on Kaitlyn's leg? 
Eyes on someone - Jade, Brit, or Whitney?

My money is the eyes were on Whitney...she did not look like a happy camper!!!

wow - that's a powerful preview!  absolutely no doubt in my mind now that she would have been F1 had she stayed.... also the fact that she left is the only reason why they even showed us that preview.  I imagine after she leaves, they'll do some sort of 'who's there for him now" kind of edit.  OR... he's already broke up with Whitney, so they're trying to explain it.  Kinda like how the edit changed for Jason/Melissa/Molly once it was known he'd changed his mind.   hmmmmm........

eta - and IMO it wasn't Britt who humiliated the other women.. it was Chris.

It's funny how we all see different things.

I don't for a moment think that Britt would have been his F1.

I contrast his explanation about his connection to Britt in this interview with the one after his date with Whitney and it is a no brainer for me. He was giddy and excited talking about Whitney but he just looks confused when talking about Britt and their weird connection. He was happy then, not looking so happy now. He is attracted, but I think he realised that is all. By all accounts, he is a smart guy...despite the less than glowing attempts at articulating his feelings at times...he would have figured things out since I truly believe he was there sincerely looking for someone in the long term.

Didn't he admit later in an interview that he didn't even know what kind of restaurant Britt waitressed in?  If he was seriously interested in her, I think he would've found out the basics.
