I also think she looks more similar to what she looked like in the first episode - I think she's just lost weight and it makes her face a touch more angled

As far as Whitney and Chris, it will be interesting to see what happens after he is done with DWTS. I think that is when their "real" life begins. As always, time will tell. JMHO

I actually like that Chris has a very humble aura. And the dancing brought out charisma that I didn't see in him when he was being considered for the Bachelor. (still planning to watch his Bach season)

He is also very silly and playful during rehearsals and even making up songs on top of his head like Witney said.

Maybe in order for Whitney and Chris to last is for her to bring out this side of him more.

Whitney the nurse is very lucky if she's gonna bag this one. However, I don't feel warm butterflies whenever I see them together. This is why I'm enjoying seeing Chris with Witney, cause he looks more fun when he's dancing and not talking about love and engagement and all that.

She was wrapping her legs around him in front of an audience as well during the show. When he showed her the mural that is. So she doesn't seem shy about PDA. Unless she was putting on a show to ensure a win and has now reverted back to her non-physical self? Who knows. Not saying they should have their tongues in each other's throats at the dinner table, just talking in general. I've just read things like "Chris is not a touchy huggy person" and "Whitney is more reserved and uncomfortable with PDA" to explain their demeanor and I just got a totally opposite impression during the show.

Sorry, but that PDA on those dates was part of the reason that they were so perfect for each other according to most. Now it is gone. So yes to me that change is significant. I have said I think it comes from her side.

I just think she has seen that her prize isn't all the great. Can they manage to fall in love and be happy? Sure they can, but the woman I see right now is not the happy Whitney of her preshow intro package, her persona on the show or even the happy Whitney holding a baby that she probably helped make.

Her demeanor is different. She was a little much for me to take before, but now that she is so demure, I kind of miss fun and spunky Whitney.

It isn't that I don't want this couple to succeed, but I do want to see Whitney happy. She deserves it and it just doesn't seem that she is happy right now.

ETA, I played the making excuses game for why what I saw on the show wasn't the relationship after the show for Emily and Jef. So I just don't want to play that again. When the couple changes how they act and relate to each other after the show it means something. Not necessarily bad, but it is worth noting and watching.

Funny, I never thought that 1F and Emily acted any different. I didn't think they were into each other on the show or after the show. He wanted publicity and she chose the guy whose family had the most wealth. That was one of the least shocking break ups in the history of TB.

As for the bold, IMO demeanor/behavior should change depending on the situation. Were people expecting her to come out on GMA and jump into his arms and wrap her legs around his waist? How inappropriate would that be? I think much more stock should be placed on what we see in those more candid moments. In the pap video, we see Chris, Whitney and his parents driving away from the studio. Whitney is laughing and engaged in conversation with Mama Soules and Chris. In the people videos we see a teasing, laughing, sometimes naughty Whitney. Like I said, different demeanors for different situations. It's like Chris said, "...She has her $hit together...". She knows what is and isn't appropriate for the circumstance.

I have ZERO issue with her moving away from overzealous homeless guy, I would have done the same. Chris is a very gracious guy but also obviously mindful that cameras are rolling all around him.

I agree that he looked exhausted and worn out from the highs of the day which is certainly understandable
He said some nice things about what he likes about Whitney and I expected nothing less from him. Im glad to see he really learned to tighten up those answers where there are more clear and concise than they have been in the past.

I can't get over how physically different Whitney looks now than on the show. It's something in her face just looks different and I can't quite put my finger - could it be a nose job or better makeup?! I don't know but either way she looks the best I've seen her.

As a couple they make a nice looking pair but again it's weird for a pair "in love". First, he kinda left her to trail him down the hill as he made his way over to the cameras and she's obviously in heels. She had to hurry a bit to catch up to him (Chris, stop, hold her hand down the hill or walk behind her, you dumbo!). It's not like he needed to go over there either because they turn around and head right back to where they came from after. And then he started walking away and would have probably kept going if SHE hadn't to reach for his hand. He better wake up! I want to support these two but he's got to do better. Where's the gentleman from the show. He's tired isnt an excuse for not being chivalrous, IMO

This gave me great pause as well. He didn't look like Prince Farming, er, Prince Charming in that video. giggling

Tired or not, if one is in love and newly engaged, you want to hold your fiancée's hand, at least. I don't expect making out, but at least grab her hand. JMO.

They were holding hands on ATFR. They were holding hands in the people video. Twice last night I saw them holding hands. I don't know about other people but sometimes I need my hands for other things. giggling

It would have been very fake of them to be overly affectionate late night in the night, after such a physically stressful and anxiety-ridden day. Sean/cat's videos were pretty similar - the only difference is that Sean is more articulate and came off more noticeably smitten when looking at cat, but I think that's just Difference in personality.

Agreed, but I didn't notice Sean looking smitten --- not like totally in love, anyway --- during these type of interviews until after eliminated from DWTS. I can still pinpoint it as right after his dogs were skunked that I recognized a night and day difference when Sean was in love --- really in love and not just Bachelor bubble love.

If to compare contrast between Chris to Sean at this point, I think Chris has more natural dance talent than Sean, but much more nervous while on the dance floor than I recall for Sean. That and it can it possibly be more obvious that Chris has absolutely NO intention of trying to parley his 15 minutes of fame into a career that will keep him in California, whereas Sean was all about hoping that would happen.

As been said, people will see the same footage and interpret it differently. When they are holding hands and even kissing, it's Whitney who initiates it and otherwise its weird body language.

She is more into him than he is into her, IMO, and that's a shame because I think she deserve someone that is as passionate about her and she is about them. Some call it "maturity" but I see a lack of chemistry and something forced - exactly like I saw on the show when I watched their dates.
