He wanted Becca and his parents who were not watching an edited version saw that. They knew he wanted Becca at MTP and that is that.

It seems to me if he really wanted Becca she would have gotten the LCD that Whitney got.   A public bowling alley is not really the place to be alone or have a serious conversation.  Chris could have used the opportunity to show Becca that life on the farm isn't so bad and to show her his beautiful home.  He took Whitney because he wanted her to see the reality of living in Arlington and what it means to be a farmer in the 21st century.  IMO, he wanted her at the farm because he wanted to see her in his element and to make sure they were both on the same page regarding their future.  

That is a good point. I didn't even know they went bowling.

Thanks for this.  Interesting how she says he "was begging her."  Hmmm, I know Becca is being honest and this just shows how torn Chris was and what he wanted to hear from her.  

Happy Becca is happy with her decision but sad that she says she was willing "to date" him.  Again, she didn't fit with the show and a proposal at the end.

Totally agree with this.  I think Becca's fans will be around for awhile.  ;)  However, I do wish the "happy" couple the best.  Time will tell.  IMHO, these two are showing signs of stress already.  It is his choice but I really wish they were going back to the farm now and not doing DWTS.  I hope that now they are out of the bubble, Whit gives this some time before she packs up and moves to Arlington.  JMHO :cutesmile!:

I watched them on Kelly and Michael and she said she knew after their wedding date that he was the one.  I know that all the final couples say this but yikes.  I will always appreciate Becca's fresh perspective on taking things slow.  Unfortunately, TPTB won't ever let that happen.  Like Sean said, "Becca was too good for the bachelor."  

I am a Becca fan, and let me say, I would have been very happy for the final couple if they looked happy on AFTR like Des and Chris.  I learned from Des and Chris to put my own wishes aside and really look for happiness from the final couple.  Des and Chris had it.  Chris didn't look happy last night. He did look tired, but Sean was doing DWTS and he still looked happy and excited Catherine.  Sadly, Chris looked like a man ready to move on and trying to be happy with his decision.  I hope I am wrong.  But I really was hoping the three months since the show would show me a happy couple, that as was not what I saw and it seems it continues today.  I feel really bad for Whitney.  I know she wants this, but I am hesitant with the couple who wants love and marriage and babies not talking about when moving to Iowa or even a marriage date. Red flag.

!  I agree!  By no means do I think Whitney if a default or settled for choice, he made his choice and it was Whitney.  I did see there was something there throughout the show, and as you said Whitney was everything he said he wanted.  I agree with you, Becca was a total gamble on how long it'd take to get there - in love and Arlington, and would she really stay once she got there.  I'm just not sold, yet, that he was really sure in the end, that everything he'd said he wanted was actually what he really wanted.  The whole show he worried over making decisions and letting people (his family) down, etc. if he didn't make the right choice... he was never going to gamble on anything.  

I really do wish them the best and hope they have a lifetime of happiness together... if that's what they both want.

ETA:  I do hope they eventually win me over as a couple.  I like Whitney as an individual.  Chris...well, I'm not sold on.  Right now, I'm still on the, I think they can do better boat.  Maybe that will change in the future.  

I agree with you LB.  I want to be sold and hope to get there.  I am waiting until the end of DWTS, if they make it through that I will think they have a better chance.

I was on the JPG and Nikki boat until Couples Therapy.  I actually saw more love from I won't say I love you JPG to Nikki then from Chris to Whitney last night.  

I do wish they would have shown Whitney as a better edit.  And that Chris would have just answered the if Becca had been there question better.  No need to respect Becca, this was his time to make it better for his F1, it would have been Whitney no matter what.

Good luck to the final couple.  I still didn't see Chris being as in love with Whitney, rather a man accepting the choice he had to make.  For all the romance and an engagement this final couple is much less romantic to me then the video love song we got from JPG to Nikki last year.

This article is on point.

His BL was totally off even during the interview this morning on GMA. I guess the pressure of his sisters didn't compare has more weight that what his heart wants.

The mere fact that he is in LA doing DWTS and Whitney moving there is confusing to me given he wanted to move back to Iowa right away.

I'm now thinking why pick Whitney given all these changes when he was sticking to the script of wife and babies. It's obvious that's not on the table yet but these principles were used to convinced him to pick Whitney.

In the end he could have chosen Becca and still spend the time in LA and build on this relationship and eventfully move there.

Now he's in LA with a woman he obviously is trying to love. Cause from what I'm seeing he's not in love he's just convincing himself that he is for his family.

All the best for the happy couple.

That's exactly what I saw. It's not the edit, it's him. The heart wants what the heart wants.

Compare him telling people what he loves about Whitney on GMA to him saying what he thinks about Becca on Ellen. I'm not talking about the words, but how they come out. It took no effort from him to list Becca's good qualities.
