Bachelor 19 - Chris Soules - Episode 9 - *Spoilers & Sleuthing* -

Neither of the f2 are my favorites although both nice women. I have no idea why Becca is on the show if she's not prepared to tell Chris until the last possible moment and I hate to hear Whitney talk so easily about leaving her career to move to Arlington. Even so I've always seen her as the best match for Chris and nothing I saw tonight has changed my mind. This episode is supposed to put doubt on the f1 and that's exactly what they did.

That is true.  Plus some articles are saying Whitney was basically his default which I didn't believe until now.  

If I were Whitney if F1 and seeing this show tonight, it would have a chilling affect on the relationship.  I would be making Chris come to Chicago if he wanted a future relationship.  No move to Iowa.

I've believed she was the default F1, because the guy had to pick someone.

It's not obvious to me. What are they trying to do?

I'm guessing that blueberry is implying that TPTB are trying to get you to think that he's truly in love with Becca, but his family is pressuring him to go with Whitney, but at the end, he'll make the right choice and go with his heart and choose Becca.

I'm not quite so sure. I felt like Whitney got that "overconfident" edit that most F2s get. Chris H even asked him (paraphrased) "I don't see you thinking about eliminating Whitney. Is it safe to say you are in love with her", which again, makes me think that Whitney is just too obvious. TPTB are putting a lot of doubt into viewers' mind whether Becca would even say yes if Chris proposed. They did leave in that line about Becca saying "If you proposed today, I would say no", which seemed like another way to put doubt into viewers' minds about Becca isn't ready for marriage which could lead to the shocker when she says yes.

I did see that. It looked like a breakwall.

I think so too. If I hadn't seen pics of Kaitlyn at WTA, I would have sworn Becca was going.

Re; the bold, to which he replied, I doesn't feel right saying I'm in love with Whitney

I thought he said, I'm falling in love with her but it doesn't feel right to say I'm completely in love with her. made it sound like what he said to Becca and Kaitlyn IMO

And YET, a week later he's in love with just ONE. Yeah, whatever.

Of interest .. We did not SEE his dad SAY the comment about Becca .. Is there a splice in there??
