Chris Soules - Whitney Bischoff - Bachelor 19 - Discussion

[GuardianAngel]

Discuss Chris and Whitney - General discussion here.

[GuardianAngel]

Just listened to MM spreecast and Samantha commented about Whitney keeping a journal where she wrote and deduced who amongst the girls was going home each week. Hmmmm, very calculated and just shows she had a game plan to win the show

Ha! You beat me to it!

Wow. That  spreecast was interesting...

All said Whitney was nice and genuine but very quiet about her and Chris

Ashely I - Whitney was very serious but a great girl. Always knew the right thing to say.

Sam - Roomed with Whitney and she kept a journal mapping out all of the things going including who she thought was going home every week! That she was always confident but they didn't understand it because they didn't see the connection between them. They were shocked when they watched the show and saw their 1on1s.

All said Becca saying she loved him would have been a game changer.

Jillian - she got a collective 2hrs with him including 1on1

Ashley I - got 1hr and half total including 2on1

Ashley S.- at the ATFR Whitney was smitten with Chris but he is not as much with her. Think sChris still has feelings for Becca based on their interactions on stage. But she thinks that Chris and Whitney will make it because sometimes its hard to see what you need.

Ashley I. - Watching the show she would've said that Whitney and Chris  would be together  forever but watching them over last 24 hours she's not sure if that's still true. Wonders about Chris' feelings for Becca or if the edit made it more.

Ashley I. - confirmed Kaityln not happy about Bachelorette "twist"
You did a great job with the summary.
They didn't want to offend anyone but they all kinda implied she came in to be the one just like we all thought. They were not confident it will work out between them especially given the DWTS decision.

I still think it is a little odd. JMHO but she wanted to shout it she said and now we have heard nothing. I bet she is aware of all the negativity and does not want to hear about Becca. She seems to have a lot of confidence and now that is being tested. I bet Becca posted what she did in support of her friend. ;) Becca probably has talked to her and knows how hard this is for her. Whit should just own it imo and hold her head up. I think their relationship seems very fragile right now. Wish them luck.

Exactly. She doesn't have to be on SM 24/7, but at least thank your fans for all of the support during your journey and gush a little over Chris. But, alas, nothing.

Was she doing it spreadsheet style like those Bachelor brackets?  That's the first thing I envisioned and it sounds kind of weird, but not sure I understood if she was doing that or just journaling the season and who went home each week.

Whitney has nothing to prove as she is engaged and living with Chris.  She moved from Chicago to LA which is statement enough that she is committed.  As far as negativity, she is probably is no different than Becca who blocks the negative posters on SM.  I am sure Whitney has better uses of her time like adjusting to a move, meeting new people and working from home.  She is a positive person and as such she will get a lot out of life as opposed to dwelling on negativity which is a waste of time.  IMO.

I posted this over on the fan thread as well.

Chris said on Access Hollywood that Whitney was back home at the apartment working. Her job will allow her to work from home & she can travel to Chicago when needed. She will be a spokesperson for the company. (to paraphrase, until video is posted on AH website.)

Odds are against them to start with, of course, given the track record of the show and the reality that Dancing with the Stars WILL strain the relationship. The journal thing doesn't really bother me because they are all so bored during filming, and it seems like she tends to be very precise and in control, meaning she had an unfilled need to feel in control of the situation more than she actually was; the journaling predications could have just been a way to create that feeling. Nor did she ever hide it that she wanted Chris and only came on the show because she wanted Chris.

But ... she still barely knows him, and she may still be more in love with the idea of Chris than the real Chris. And who knows what Chris is really wanting or thinking; I find him to be a tough read overall, despite how open he can be at times. Although I do know he was quite taken with her after their first date.

Regardless, I'd still like to see them make it, and will wait it out with no expectations either way.

Ha! A point of clarification...Michelle Money felt like Whitney was not authentic and rigid on the show. The girls were defending her said she serious but a great person. Sam said she loved her and  she was genuine but she was really worried about going home and would write down who she thought would go and who would win....the top 5 girls. Sam also thought they would make it as a couple.

It is hard to know what is really going on in their minds especially on a reality show.  Cast members weighing in on their opinion does not make or break the relationship as the real trial is Chris and Whitney living through it.  They have only been out in public 4 days so time will tell.

As far as Chris being a tough read, I agree to certain extent.  He seems more relaxed now that TB is over and happier doing the DWTS and I expect we will see more of his fun personality.  There is one thing that stands out about Chris to me -- if you love him, you love his family and/or you love his family, you love Chris.  His family supports him 100%.

It's good to see Chris & Whitney jointly made the decision on DWTS, arranged for W's job continuation and even spent time with the Soules family since the FRC took place. I guess the spoiler posted here about the neighbor seeing the blond girl at Chris' house was legit. How awesome is that!

Whitney is a professional woman in a medical field that demands attention to detail, discretion and an ability to remain in control of her emotions while being empathetic. Those are the same qualities we caught glimpses of on the show. A woman like that isn't likely to waste her time posting cryptic items on SM. I agree that Whitney has nothing to prove to those that watched the show and chose to anonymously call her out on SM. Keep doing you, Whitney.

I have ne expectations for Whitney to go on SM, she didn't on the show and so doing so now would be the change. In the medical profession confidentiality is crucial, so it isn't like she can even tweet about that funny thing that happened or express her feelings about situations with them it would not be okay.

As for posting about her fiancé, what is there to say that wasn't covered on Monday or Tuesday.

I hope for her that she settles in and finds her happy and it works. It sounds like interview Whitney might be more of the real Whitney than the one we saw on her dates with Chris. Honestly, I have no idea who the real Whitney is but I do hope she and Chris will find what is best for them.

I still think DWTS is a bonehead move for a guy in a new relationship, but my opinion doesn't matter. The effect on his relationship is all that matters.

As for inarticulate Chris. Funny he manages to be very articulate when talking about farming and agriculture. I think he is inarticulate when he is trying to think too much or isn't saying what he really thinks or feels.

Best of luck to the new couple. He has wonderful parents that I hope Whitney is enjoying. I am sure they are showering her with all the love she deserves. I would watch out for the sisters, especially Lori, from the show and SM I don't think they are very nice. I would not trust them right away.
