I like Whitney's Chris.  I hope they make it but if they don't, they won't be the first or the last out of this franchise. BTW, I'm glad Chris didn't choose Becca, he was smart to do that. Ask the Canadian Bach how it turned out for him for choosing the one that was still confused and unsure by the last week of filming.

I am glad that Becca made it clear to him that she was not willing to move or say ILY when she only actually spent 4 days with him. A very mature move by a a great girl that made this boring season fun to watch. JMO

Both are good posts!  I think in the end, things happened as they should.  Each made the best decisions they could for themselves, at the time, (Becca choosing not to say something she really didn't mean, Whitney for laying all her feelings out, and Chris making his decision.) and all seem to be happy with the choices they made.  No broken hearted, sad F2, we have one that actually seems happy for and supportive of both her friendship with the F1 and the couple.  And we see the couple spending time getting to know each other even more and living together, while Whitney supports Chris' DWTS adventure.   Whether they last a lifetime or months, remains to be seen, but it seems as though things worked out for each of them.  JMHO...

If they are to have any shot at winning, Chris is going to have to do both.  Witney, the professional dancer, is well aware of this. Chris, who is neither a professional dancer nor an actor, has the 'mental hurdle' of becoming comfortable with the acting part. This is how I interpreted that comment.    

The subsidies are intended to help farmers when market prices are low. But instead, Naylor says, they drive farmers to overproduce, which only pushes prices lower, allowing large agribusiness companies to buy cheap feed, raise cheap livestock, and sell cheap meat.

“That just puts farmers in the same situation where they have no way out,” says Naylor, “except to try to produce as much as they possibly can every year, fencerow to fencerow, and hope to God that prices are such that they make ends meet.”

As much as I want to ship him with Witney Carson, my absolute fave DWTS dancer, she is only 21. And he is technically engaged, even if 'they' say he ended up with a default winner.

Nothing against Whitney the fiancee, but  she reminds me of my dentist.  Technical, Clinical, very cliche, methodical, always says the right things but has no depth to it, cause she's just doing her job.   I will trust her with my dental needs but I don't want to see her fall in love or get married on tv.  But at least my dentist has a soothing grown woman's voice.

Chris found himself a dependable woman to have kids with. He wants his family's approval and he got it.  I just do not see a chemistry or "i come alive when you're near" look in Chris' eyes when she's around.  He wanted someone whom he doesn't need to work hard for or chase.  Maybe that's what he wanted but that's not why I  watch TB.  I wanted to watch  a man who's absolutely taken, breathtakingly in love and melts around a woman of his choice.  

I agree. And as much as I wish happiness for both Chris and Whitney, I just can't see them together forever. Maybe they'll surprise me, but for now they're just meh. JMO.

I can't see dancer Witney as any kind of a threat though. She's adorable, but compared to Chris she looks and sounds like a teenager. When she was helping Chris to compose a tweet they looked like father and daughter. Just a different generation. Then again, Chris did make out with 21-year-old Mackenzie who sounds even more young than Witney.

I just wonder if Chris can fully be himself around Whitney, like he apparently can around Witney or even Becca IMO. He said something about Whitney making him want to be a better man. While that sounds like a good thing, it might be double-edged sword. Depends on his definition of "better".

I actually think Chris is fully himself around Whitney.  On the show, I saw a relaxed Chris with Whitney.  A guy who was secure and enjoying himself very much, and in some case, I thought he looked a little relieved as the ease of being with Whitney.  Does he behave differently around Whitney than he did around Becca?  Sure - they are two different women with very different needs, styles of interaction and in different stages of their lives.  It would be unnatural to expect anyone to treat them identically.

But I have perceived some indifference on the part of Chris towards Whitney during this "honeymoon phase" and she is clearly more into him than he is into her. It's fine now while he still has DWTS but I honestly think it will lead to problems when all the distractions of the glitz and glamour of DWTS and the Bachelor have all gone away and they'll just have to deal with each other. I'm not just saying that because I'm "a Becca fan". It's because I respect and like Whitney  and I'm concerned.

I guess I'm just not willing to anoint them as the second coming of Sean and Cat after a whole week of "normal life".

Great post.     I agree and think once they do get back to "normal" they will have a better shot and they will figure it out.  I am concerned for Whit also and think he wanted Becca (don't think I am alone on that one) but she was not there.  IMO ;)

Wish them luck navigating through DWTS.  Hopefully they head back to the farm to see see if they work.  I am always surprised when a couple from this show makes it.  Time will tell, but I don't see it and the odds are not in their favor.
