Becca is more hesitant and I think Chris is honored to have won her over and "earned" some physical intimacy with her. I really looked at his face tonight when he was with both Whitney and Becca and didn't see and difference between the look on his face with them, but da a big difference than how he looked at Kaitlyn and Jade. I also think back to back 1:1 dates for the first time ever is pretty significant. They also didn't show much of either of Becca's 1:1 dates. It could mean it was all Whitney or it could be that they are hiding their interaction on purpose. I don't know and actually don't care. I just won't be surprised to see him chose Becca or Whitney at this point. Maybe next week will make it more obvious to me?

Yes, I too am waiting until next week. Got a late start but I do see the connection between he and Whitney, but I also see something there with Becca. I do think Whitney's feelings are genuine, but I think some of it is because she's in the "bubble" imo. Would be interesting to see how things are after the show is over and real life begins.
I wonder why he would say he's in love with multiple women if he really wasn't? Is he that much under the spell of TPTB that they would tell him to say that? I also wonder why he would go the extra step and take Becca to the ferris wheel when the HTD was basically over? I know it's been said that it was her birthday (maybe somebody more experienced can confirm) so maybe that's why he did it as a present? Or TPTB told him to do it?

They have to say them to maintain the illusion that more than one candidate is a viable option for F1. TPTB like to keep up the suspense/illusion because they think we wouldn't watch if we got a straight love story. For me, when I hear the lead saying those things, it's a pretty sure bet that they are lying through their teeth.

Diana wrote:Why would they favorite something about Becca being the Bachelorette if she is engaged or with Chris? Like think about it. It be disrespectful. And that tweet about his mom. If he's with Becca that is so out of line IMO.

At this point, nearly everything points to Whitney to me.

I think she was referring to the tweet that one tilley sister favorited and one retweeted about Mrs. Tilley never seeing chris again.

Columbia, MD wrote:Seemed to me the HT dates had less shown than usual.  Too much time was taken up at the beginning with Britt's leaving and then the rose ceremony.  It is obvious why they're "delaying" rose ceremonies to the beginning of the "next" episode but last night was ridiculous.
JMHO.

Also while I like Carly, she needs to know how much to say and when to say it. This is why I find Kaitlyn so likeable. She is just funny enough without verging on mean.
