^^Agree. Both becca, and Whit are MUCH better off for sure. I bet Chris regrets a lot of things though. Happy he has moved on. Smiley

All IMHO

This is how I see it and how I felt at the time as well. Becca was not going to accept a proposal, she was not going to move to Iowa, and she wasn't going to get married. She probably would have dated him, but CS had a job to do and that was to propose to someone who would accept.

What has he been up to lately anyway? I haven't checked his SM in awhile.

Yep, Whitney was ready and available for a committed relationship. Glad she found someone so much better than Farmer. Interestingly enough, the other two F4 gals are both engaged to be married... Jade to Tanner and Kaitlyn to Shawn. And then there's Becca. cantstopl

I don't follow Chris and don't really want to but I will go take a look and post anything interesting. ;)

I still follow him on IG (WHY?) and it's mostly just farming and family stuff.

From what I heard, IMO, she liked him and would have been very excited to date him. She wasn't quite there in terms of being in love, and she really wanted to see where things went. She only wants to get engaged once, and get married once. She just wanted to be 100% sure.

Smart girl. That's how it should ideally be. Still wish the producers wouldn't force the engagements at the end of the show. I would be just as happy if the lead just picked their favorite person to continue dating afterwards. Would seem so much more realistic and who knows, the leads might pick someone completely different if they weren't so worried about the person saying yes to an engagement.

That Becca! She is an enigma to me. Only wants to get engaged once, yet she goes on a reality tv dating show that expects an engagement after a few weeks of speed-dating....with 24 other speed-daters. Um - twice.

It's a shame that Becca and Chris weren't more honest with each other. Chris could have proposed, Becca could have declined and agreed to date. They could have enjoyed months of post-show publicity, lots of air-time on DWTS and then gone their separate ways after trying oh-so-hard to make it work.

Broken hearted Becca would have been prime Bachelorette material! Chris continues "farming" and other reality show endeavors. That's a win-win, folks. And Whitney is spared all the ugliness that ensued. IMHO.

I don't think Becca even wanted to date him by the time filming was done. His behavior during the show was immature and often times disrespectful to the girls and his communication skills were almost non existent. Not to mention his penchant for being sloshed most of the time. He's no catch IMO

It feels almost like Becca was having a good time with the girls, got a little caught up in TB bubble and all the sudden turned around and accidently found herself in the top 2. Oops. laugh out loud

I could buy all that Cindebug, if she didn't accidentally find herself on the next season. giggling
