I suspect when Chris asks, "Any wedding plans?"...they'll both say, "We're just taking it slow, just want to be a normal couple, go to the movies, out in public..." (different happy couple, same AFTR script). What will be interesting is if one of them says that they want to move to be with the other (that's a huge indicator that they are serious about making a go of it).

 
IMO... ;)  IF they say they do not have wedding plans, they are not telling the whole story.  Again, my opinion.

My guess is tptb tried to get him to say ILY to all three and he wouldn't, because he didn't feel it.  I also think he and his F1 can handle this all, as tough as it likely is, because as opposed to many other bachelors, he allowed himself to really feel these things and let his heart lead him.  
Oh, and I understand speculation of who slept with who is part of the sleuthing talk, but unless you were in that room, you have no idea if he did anything, besides literally sleep with anyone.  Neither does RS btw.  
As far as the blog, I haven't read it, but keep in mind how much they censored Sharleen's blog they aren't supposed to have any control over.  Imagine the control they have over "his" blog.
Just my opinion and two cents for the morning.  I am guessing it won't be a popular one, but that os where my thoughts are for today.

popular with me

On a serious note, dude needs to grow a frickin' pair. Ugh such a weak and easily manipulated man. Where is Brad and Juan Pablo when you need them? At least I can respect them for having balls.

JMO.

And did  you spot Lauren about to cry in helicopter (like Whitney in her limo)

You could say that but he looked exhausted and emotional so I can give him a break. I think that they were telling him Lauren wasn't sure at the same time he was thinking she was too good for him. Jojo, on the other hand, seemed more like a sure thing (helped again by producers) and he really liked or loved her so it wasn't exactly a hardship. By the time Lauren told him she loved him also, it was too late to back up from what he told Jojo. I do think he in-the-bubble loved her but not as much as he in-the-bubble loved Lauren.
