Oh gosh ... I have to respectfully disagree. At 33 years old, I am sure they last thing he expected to encounter was another virgin on his show. Shoot, the last time he probably encountered a virgin was in high school.

As the mother of two high school teenagers, there are some kids at their high school running around with purity rings but they are few and far between. And, the purity ring crowd tends to stick together.

The whole idea of the 26-year old virgin Becca and 33-year old farmer Chris ending up together is like some sort of Harlequin romance. They are just not on the same page and that might work in the movies but not so much in real life.

100% agree

I agree too!  I can't see Chris waiting until marriage at all!  But I do know there are men out there who would and feel the same way. As you said, the purity crowd sticks together and Becca needs to stay, or get back in that crowd. jmo

I disagree totally. I'm sure Chris has gone through some dry patches in his life and knows how to deal with it. He's been repeating ad nauseam that he's looking for his wife. If he picks Becca then they could be married in a year and have all the sex they want for the rest of their lives. I really don't think it's that big an issue for a mature adult to not have sex for a year or two, if the end result is marrying the love of one's life. There are more important things in life than sex.

I also don't think Becca is part of the "purity crowd". She's just made a decision she feels is right for her. If she was looking for another virgin, then why would she even go on this show? She sure seems open-minded to me despite her personal decisions.

What is this about...Kaboom and Bojangles???

Ali let go of Chris before the FRC.

Des let go of Drew before the FRC.

Yes, but as Diana noted above ... we have examples of Bachelorettes saying goodbye to F2 early before FRC but I personally can't recall a Bachelor ever NOT having two ladies show up at FRC.

The only "off" Bachelor FRC ...

Jesse ... cause his F2 threw up along the way so F1 went first and watched as he gave F2 the boot
CHarlie ... who did not pick either and dated both in real life

Anybody else??

Bkay, that was my take as well. :Nod:

IA MVMom...JMO but I do not think Becca is ready for what Chris is looking for.

But didn't Brad drag both F2 to FRC to dump them? Consistent with theory that MF loves the heartbroken woman scene and the "unexpected twist" is for the first time we won't see F2 at FRC.

Brad brought both Jenni and Deanna and let them both go. It was his intention despite what MF thought or wanted.

Responses:

1. The purity crowd are those folks who want to wait until marriage to have sex. I had thought that what she claimed to be wanting to do?

2. Why would Becca go on this show? The experience! To be part of Bach Nation! To get more modeling gigs! Who knows ... maybe her friend Danny Hoyt of AfterBuzz, who has said goes to same church as Becca, strongly suggested that it would be great idea for her to go on. Every single person who goes on the AfterBuzz show all talk about doors opened and making lifetime friends.

I really, really like Becca very much.  I think Becca would do better meeting someone from one of the bible studies that Danny leads in Beverly Hills than on this show.

I also found it very interesting that Danny and Cathy Kelly did not predict who the F1 would be and they ALWAYS do. Danny has not been terribly effusive at all about Becca & Chris together. Cathy Kelley had been very pro WHitney as has JC and Lauren so surprising that no one made predictions at end of their WTA recap podcast. (and, just to be clear, JC and Lauren were not on that podcast but had Amy Long on as guest)

Unexpected twist? Biggest would be an F1 not show up at FRC and F2 is let go there. Then he goes after the no show F1. Never happened before. Kaboom!

I have been baffled all season why Becca did the show, which is so contrary to who she is. The recent modeling pics lead me to believe that she was persuaded it would be good exposure for future modeling opportunities.

Because her faith is so important to her I would think that she had Peace to do the show. God guides in mysterious ways sometimes .

I read somewhere that Becca was signed up by a friend. In any case, I think she agreed to be on the show for an adventure and experience just like everyone else who has been on this show. Finding love and opportunities is just a bonus. jmo
