In this interview Katie seems to be referring to Greg in the past - his nervousness, vulnerability - that's what she loved about him. It didn't sound like she picked him in the end ??

What did you guys think of Kaitlyn and Tayshia on the show last night. I thought they were too giggly and added nothing.

I was mixed on them. Definite improvement over paternalistic CH but I'm hoping they will get in a groove and find their roles a bit better as the season goes on. I think it's hard to share the hosting gig. But I'm guessing they were great support for Katie especially since they had to stay on the property all the time (whereas CH would just show up for RCs, etc.).

I thought they did a good job, but for me, it was a little too much of a sorority girl vibe. I like the fact that Chris H. is older and more removed from the action.

ETA: I do know that Chris is leaving. While Tayshia and Kaitlyn are perfectly capable of handling, the "Gentlemen, this is the final rose" type of dialogue, I'm not sure that either one is yet up to the demands of the type of interviews that you see on ATFR, etc. (unless the interviews are highly scripted in advance.) I have a feeling that the franchise was looking to move on anyway, and the incident on Matt's season provided the opening. But what they have in mind for the longer interviews, I've no idea.
