Bachelor 19 - Becca Tilley #7

Some couples have though.

(and of course the glimpse of their time together - without mics - half the course) ...
In the same episode when girls are getting ready for CP/RC ... we hear Becca say how Chris's actions show his seriousness to find a wife ... while Whitney is shown repeating someone's phrase "game on" ... then later the girls find out that both Ashley I. and Becca are virgins ... and we get to see the sweet response from Kaitlyn to Becca (but then TPTB added the looks)... later in Kait's PI she states: "we got 2 virgins in Bach mansion, 2 virgins, 1 Chris, I can't make this up, stay tuned!"  I'm staying firm with Becca being F1.

Its interesting isnt it, once you know the outcome, going back and watching early episodes gives you a whole new perspective on how it was edited.  Much of the editing is foreshadowing events to come.

^^^ Like I said earlier I would have been very suspicious except for the fact Chris is rehearsing for DWTS. ;) Both women would be smart to stay busy.

yeah, CB, it was the same episode we hear the only line of Becca saying to Chris' sisters, that she's willing to move anywhere for love. At the RC Chris talks about real emotions/feelings starting to form, (we see the best exit in history with Ashely S. saying she feels nothing) and in his blog he mentions "spoiler".

Yeah! I also noticed while Ashley I is fretting over telling Chris she was a virgin, she has a VO saying "if Chris wants to be with someone who is promiscuous and outlandish" and they are showing him talking to Jade. At that point her Playboy past is yet to be revealed. The editing is interesting to watch now. Its clever.

I know! It's so interesting to watch these episodes back after the season plays out. If somehow Whit ends up F1, I will feel beyond duped. In the words of Ed Swiderski, "This show is a complete mindf**k!"

Once again to be clear, this is not against Whitney in anyway shape or form. I have no problem with her being F1 other than that's not the show I watched. There are so many "signs" pointing to Becca, imo.

I keep thinking of that article (sorry can't source it...but it's somewhere in the threads) where TPTB indicated that everyone involved in the show needed to up their game after the disastrous season of JPG. All these editing clues seem like the "upping of the game" in my eyes.

I really like both Becca and Whitney, and I think Chris is a very lucky guy who has two wonderful final girls to choose from. I will respect his decision and hope he'll be happy with his choice. IMO he can't go wrong with either of them....

Well said vivi. It would be nice if that was the case every season!!

Yeah, exactly, I'm leaning on that too. Not because every article is to be believed, but I actually presume that must have happened, considering the poor results of last seasons, the show needed some refreshment, new audience and by the way they are editing this time (making fun of themselves) I can actually buy those words. i went back and watched all the episodes, and looking from my POV now, I can see each episode has moments very telling for Becca. Whitney in that regard has poorer edit, she's likeable and very forefront, but they aren't romanticizing W&C' relationship.

Everytime I decide the spoiler is going to be correct I read this forum and can't deny some very compelling points . It's weird because I mostly am thinking Whitney just because of the spoiler not because I've seen some out of this world true love story unfold. I have not really seen anything jump out at me with their relationship that screams he is all about her and it has always been her. He did say some strong things in her favor at that 1on1 wedding crashing date though to me that date came off very forced and cheesy. The fact that the whole thing was faked kind of makes me wonder if it was a symbol of their relationship-fake/forced. That group date she was included in where he left her and the other girls to go off alone to be with Britt (he approached Britt, she didn't steal him off) is very telling. As for Becca, he has had plenty of time to reasonably excuse Becca since she is not ready yet and he could have done without much backlash since he had "she isn't ready or in love yet" to fall back on. Yet he could not send her home. He had the opportunity to have both F2 be in love and all in right there with W/K but he just couldn't let Becca go. If he does pick Whitney I am sure he might try to do the usual spin the leads all do which is say "oh yeah it was totally this person the entire time" but he will just look foolish if he does that. I sometimes forget Becca is only 25 because she carries herself so well and doesn't get so caught up in the fantasy to lose sense of reality that she has known the guy a month or two and she still needs to grasp her feelings and that is ok.

G&M date is really interesting for me also, because Chris says that he sees his future wife in that group. Which BTW Kaitlyn wasn't included in, because she got the camp date. So on G&M date we have: Becca, Whitney, Britt, Carly, Nikki and Jillian (last 3 were never in consideration) - so there goes the answer whether he really was in any doubt who would be his F2. He helped the women with the task, but spent most of time by Becca's side.
And you know how there goes the saying (maybe from a movie) that guys mistreat the girls they like, and we "girls" grow up with that image, that if a guy doesn't pay much attention to you, it's because he is just trying to hide his true feelings for you. (which is not true)
That to me is telling. The same as the singing date. Interestingly, in episode 5, when Chris walks back to a cocktail party after letting Jordan go and gives Whitney a GDR, there is a moment we see very "observing look" of Becca, watching him (it gave me the impression as she was wondering where is her place of priority in his mind).
