Remember last season all the votes Arie was getting to be the next Bachelor? I'm leaning toward Britt based on CH comments to tvguide.com

Just me- I read the CH interview as designed to stir up interest in the claws coming out at the WTA where apparently Britt is going to blame Carly for the fact that Britt went home. If he just went with the Britt is still heartbroken that Chris sent her home, I could see the set up for now she gets her own chance to find love. But with blaming Carly? I just don't see that Britt is going to come across sympathetic with that theme and don't they usually try to redeem their next 'ette at the WTA for any perceived "sins" at the WTA?

Do you mean the order which the roses are handed out at the rose ceremony

The producers mix it up when they edit the show so we don't know with 100% certainty in what order they are given.

Who's been getting the most first roses this season? I haven't been paying attention

Whitney has been given the first rose at every ceremony since her first 1 on 1 date. Unless she already got one at a group date or 1 on 1 date.

I was just wondering if we've ever seen that and then the bachelor picks the other girl at FRC?

They can have both, one in each country.

Some of the guys from Andi's season have been sweet tweeting about Kaitlyn. Perhaps 1 or more could hop the border to appear on the Canadian version. An love exchange giggling

I may be in the minority but I just sense something off about Whitney. I don't feel authenticity from her when she says she's in love with Chris because she was basically ready to say it on their first date. Also, I feel like she's usually the one doing the talking during most of their conversations. It seems like she's way more into Chris than he is into her. If he chooses her, I think it's because she's the safe choice and is willing to move her entire life for him. I think Becca is much more realistic about her emotions and the process and Chris is scared of being rejected because of that.

Yeah, I agree. People talk about all this incredible chemistry that they have, and I just don't see it. I see someone who is forcing a relationship because it looks perfect on paper and someone going along with it for the same reason. I think that Whitney probably was the type of girl that chris wanted going into this and I think she probably lessens his insecurity about Arlington, but I think thats it. I don't think the potential for that passionate, all-consuming love is there.

Just to clarify it has been said in the past that the roses at least in the beginning have name tags to help the leads remember.

As others have stated they have also been known to show the roses out of order in the show and their is plenty of proof of this. But you are correct she did get roses first as shown the four of six rose ceremonies where she did not already have her rose. Which goes along with the edit of he knew Despite the whole dinner conversation that Whitney was going to move and would say yes. She is his certainty. Now does Becca get to catch up? I really don't know. Cat was also an episode 6 first date and didn't get a GDR. She was also not called first at the F6 to F4 RC or the F4 to F3 RC. I honestly don't remember for F3 to F2. But she was the one who Sean's heart would not let him get rid of and she is still the only F1 to marry her bachelor. So sometimes that slow build can and does win out. She was in fact the one Sean struggled at with at F4 if he would let go and he just could not do it.

He wants sugar and spice. Kaitlyn was more spice than sugar to him, therefore...bye bye.

Becca is sugar, sugar, sugar, but does she have any spice under her virgin cloak? He is still not sure. Wants more time to figure it out.

Whitney is a good mix of sugar and spice, and he admires her, etc, etc.

Parent clip saying CS wants Becca...spliced...probably said "we are not sure if Becca is in love with Becca.....but Chris wants Becca." I don't believe any of the editing tricks. They needed to play up Becca tonight to try to level the playing field.

Don't get me wrong. He likes Becca, admires, respects, and is attracted to her. But she is never goig to catch up in 2 weeks time, she just won't be certain and she has too much class to lie to him or herself. Becca, to me, is morally sound and sweet, 2 things that are important to him, but a bit boring and naive. I think whitney is able to make CS more animated and joyful. Becca is too similar to him in personality and energy level. I think whitney is more at his maturity and life experience level.

In summary.....Bali is hot and humid, monkeys bite, and Whitney will be F1. Jmhoaa.

Went out for dinner so missed most of the show...those pesky friends. Finally caught up and word

.

This is exactly what happens every...single....season. They ramp up the doubt about F1 by increasing the interest in the F2. They have to or they might as well stop filming. Every single lead spouts how they see themselves falling in love with everyone in sight...blah, blah, blah. It's the same crap every...single...season. People always get mad at the poor slob whoever he or she may be and yet it happens every...single...season.

The producers and editors are good. Really good. I even stop and second guess myself. Still, I am going with my first gut instinct...Whitney for F1.

I think Chris fell fairly early. He fell fast. They had to scramble and ramp up the drama around him and then edit everything to death. Dice and splice is their motto. Will it last? Who knows. I think they have as good as chance as any and probably better then most since they seem to be on the same page about where they are in their lives and what they want. They both strike me as kind, caring and mature people who know you have to work and compromise to have a successful relationship and are willing to give it a go. As always, time will tell.

Can't wait for the WTA. Should be a slug fest. :argue: wine
