Just have to keep it real but chris is not mature. IMHO. Age has nothing to do with it. Whit seems mature and very sweet. I hope she is happy and I wish her well.

1) I think the constant Juan Pablo jabs are getting old.

2) Chris chose W just like I knew he would. He fell for her very early on.

3) Becca would have been a poor choice because she is too young and doesn't know what she's looking for in life.

4) the B and K show... I'm sure they lied to K or worded the big twist in her contract in a very unclear way. K looked blindsided by the fact the B was there. Prob found out about the twist 5 minutes before they came on stage.

5) I am actually willing to give B a chance. I don't despise her...yet.

6) but I definitely would have preferred K got the gig solo. I think B is going to hog the spotlight and it will be a disadvantage to K. I am, however, not counting K out on this one. She just needs to relax and show her personality right away and not clam up, because B will go in with guns ablazin'.

Nope. You are not alone.  He seemed to take charge around Becca, but with Whit, she will be wearing the pants.  Makes him look weak.  I like when a man is in charge...most women do.  The whole ATFR was just weird.

Yes, he seemed more attractive when he was with Becca.

I sooo agree. I feel sad for him because of this.

ITA. :Nod:

I think they have a decent shot because they're at a good age, both have careers they love, and we know Chris' family loves Whitney. That's a good start.

No. I believe I read here that Chris H said the spoilers were true.

I guess it's the fake '2 Bachelorette' thing that is just a retread with Byron's season.

I really believe the spoilers/inside information that Becca was pretending on social media to be F1 as she is very clever and funny! It seems like she was not that hurt after being let go, and that is good for her! She seems to be in a really good place. JMO

The unexpected twist, according to TPTB was the format of 2 bachelorettes. It was not a twist to us, because we surmised it days ago.

Personally, I have never felt that anyone falls in love while on the show. To me, Chris and Whitney have exactly the same odds and any of the past couples.The relationship starts once they are done with all of these.

Oh, brother. Becca , it should have been you!

Becca is a sweetheart, but BOTH Britt and Kaitlyn do have more "oomph" for the TV screens.

Also their catfights on the premiere will be fun to watch.

I may be in the minority here, but I would prefer that they do NOT go the same route as Byron's and have one canned the first show. I am DYING to know what "types" of guys gravitate towards each one on a week by week basis.

Then again, Kaitlyn can be the working Bachelorette with the 25 guys and Mister Harrison have a succession of dates with Britt in the meantime.

I'm going to give both Britt and Kaitlyn a chance. I could not stand Ali on Jakes season and really enjoyed her on her own season.

i didn't watch Ashley's season because she didn't hold my interest on Brads season, and apparently I missed out on a great season.

It's all in the edit...except with Chris, the boy doesnt do well withou cue cards.

The way this played out wasn't actually very surprising. Chris and Whitney clicked from the start, but there is a show to produce. He did have feelings for Kaitlyn and Becca as have most of the leads and their F3.  As Whitney said, Chris gave each lady and relationship his consideration. That's what a good lead should do. 

I can just imagine the unrelenting bashing Chris would take if he didn't give Becca (the virgin) every opportunity - especially after HTD with her "shocking" declaration. The fact she was in a 4 year relationship without every being in love was a red flag. She will be ready some day, but by her own admission it isn't today. Hopefully Becca and her family have gotten all the SM posting out of their system. Doubtful, but one can hope.

So in hindsight I suppose the #statementnecklace was a jab at Whitney's fondness for wearing them on the show. And #unexpectedtwist was to promote the dual Bachelorettes. Sweet!
