Is this normal?

Hahaha...I must admit I love the idea of 2 Bachelorettes. I thought Kaitlyn was the announced like a week ago w/ all the promos and everything, but apparently from JK show, it seemed like both of them learned of the news at best 2 days before we did. Now let's see if we can have a fun Bachelorette show w/ 2 leading ladies -- they can think of something or has to be a way to empower 2 women at the same time right? I'd love that idea.

I think it's more that someone e-mailed him it?  Either way, I don't get why post them.

About his strange facial expressions and mouth twitches. About 98% of the season he looked riddled with anxiety or had a blank expression. So, why would we expect anything differently on the finale and ATFR. He is the same guy. He is who he is. He does not emote or articulate very much. That WAS Chris happy and excited about his F1. He's not a "Britt"!

I felt for Chris when they said something along the lines of "you've been there before with a California girl not wanting to move to the farm" (speaking of his ex-fiance and in regards to Becca) and he just looked dejected when they said that.

He looked a little lost IMO throughout the episode and on the ATFR and it was kind of sad to watch.

I don't know...maybe I'm biased, but I actually thought that he was really articulate and emotional when having that talk with Becca on the bed. "I want everything you can give me"? That's a guy who can be romantic and well-spoken when he wants and needs to be.

JK even did a spoof on how inarticulate he was less than 1hour after the ATFR.
Chris on a good day talks like he has a mouth full of marbles.

I thought that was really crappy of them. I get that they're worried about their little brother getting his heart broken again, but way to paint all "California girls" with the same brush. Plus Becca is from Louisiana.

And I'm sorry, but none of his sisters live on the farm themselves. They don't know what it takes to build a life there. His mom and dad do, and I'd bet you the most important thing they'd say is love and passion. That's the impression I got during Andi's visit. His mother was a city girl who went to live on the farm because she loved his father that much. That's why she's still there, not because she likes corn fields and cold winters. Whitney may think she loves Chris, but everyone knows you can't love someone "from the bottom of [your] heart" after a few dates. It's all a bunch of hot air at that point. And even if she did, it needs to be mutual. If Chris doesn't truly love her then they'll be miserable on that farm together. His parents knew that and that's why they weren't blinded by Whitney's perfect lines like the sisters were. Dad saw who Chris was passionate about, because he's a man himself.

I still think Becca and Chris had just as much long-term potential as Chris and Whitney, because I believe that once Becca falls in love it's forever and she will do anything to make it work. Who in their right mind could fall in love with a guy they barely know, who's still dating other women? She's was just being normal IMO.
