Bachelor 19 - Becca Tilly #3

I noticed that too. Also, on the HTD, when Whitney said she loved him, look at his reaction. He was smiling while she was talking, but the moment she said, "I am in love with you", he stopped smiling for a split second. I found that VERY telling.

^^After reading Chris H. blog I am confused and think Whit is final 1. However, the editing points to Becca 100% JMO

@beccatilley5 its kind of unfair and immature  that you did not tell @C_Soules that you are a virgin. Way to make it hard and awkward.

Becca Tilley@beccatilley5
@dyyannajean @C_Soules you dont think he had an idea after my hometown?? Come on

Way to go Becca! I really don't understand why being a virgin in this society is seen as a bad thing.

I'm honestly baffled by that too. I keep reading people say how she should've told him earlier so he could've made an informed decision about if it's something he wants. I mean what?? She told him before the final decision so he can still decide to go with someone else if he so wishes. I hardly think it's unreasonable to expect him to be looking for love, not three different sex partners to sample in the FS. I also find it ridiculous when maturity is determined by the number of past relationships and sex partners. Some people just wish to save their feelings for one person only. It may not work out, but I don't find anything wrong with the concept. Becca seems like the most level-headed person on the show. She's treating it like a real relationship that's in its early stages. No, it's not what the show expects you to do, but we all know the track record of this show when it comes to marriage, so it's clearly not the best method of finding a long-lasting love. Good for Becca for going at her own pace!

:Nod:

It's not that being a virgin is a bad thing at all but it's not something you keep from someone you're supposed to be falling for imo. She hid a pretty important part of who she is until the last possible moment. On the other side of it, if it's not a big deal why wouldn't she have felt comfortable telling him when there was a chance he'd be meeting her family? I got the feeling she was nervous about his reaction and therefore put it off as long as she could. A little sign of immaturity? Maybe.

I just listened to the latest BuzzTv recap and one of the commentators said it best.  In real life you don't blurt out you're a virgin instead you wait until a physical situation arises that makes it necessary to clarify.

She alluded on twitter today that Chris knew at home towns. ;) TPTB at it again.

If they do make it to the altar and it is televised...hope they don't make it taudry...like a live camera on the Sean and Catherine honeymoon suite...that really annoyed me- like they were exploiting something sacred.

I saw this quote today while reading an article "The age of Methuselah has nothing to do with the wisdom of Solomon". Thought it was best to share.
Becca is a smart girl, she's treating this like real like. It's obvious she isn't in the bachelor bubble. F1 or not, I still like her.

This proves nothing; but since we're building an editing case for Becca as F1, I thought I'd share.

I was making screencaps of the RC. After Chris and Becca return, Chris apologizes for making them wait and said he needed to collect his thoughts. Deep breaths, then the "tension music" starts. There are several frames, but gradually, each girl's individual close up is shown before Chris hands out the first rose. First Kaitlyn's close up, then Whitney's followed by Becca's...F3, F2, F1. (or so I believe.)

Certainly this is open to interpretation, but are the editors sharing Chris's thoughts regarding his Final choices, subliminally with their edit? To be determined...2 weeks to go.

In real life, I can't imagine revealing that to someone by, what, the third date? And, I say that as a 25-y/o virgin. Plus, as Chris said, it wasn't the most surprising news considering she had never ben in love and wasn't the most affectionate person. I also think it's interesting that so many people are giving Becca grief for withholding this information, but no one has given Sean any slack for it. I read his book, and it seemed pretty clear that he never told Emily that he was waiting until marriage to have sex.

K I just went back to B twitter she changed something about where she lived. It use to say she was from Lauisana and is living Sd for now, but she has since changed it to just her home state. And if you look at CS twitter it says in lines of love being out west... Hmmmm
