The Bachelor 17 - Speculation/Spoilers - Discussion

RS today:

Hi Steve,

So now that Catherine doesn’t have a one-on-one date until episode 6, doesn’t that seem pretty late for the chosen one? Like wouldn’t Sean be infatuated with her a little earlier if he is eventually gonna propose to her and would want to spend time with her a little earlier? It just doesn’t make sense! Thanks!

Comment: Who cares if it makes sense? Does anything on this show make sense? Sean got engaged to Catherine in Thailand and they are still engaged today. I don’t care what episode who did what in. All that matters is the end result, so, I guess it wasn’t pretty late for a first date since that’s the one he chose. I think you shouldn’t read into who gets what date and when. It’s not important.

plus we do not know for sure she didnt get another 1-1...

Unless I am missing something, it appears to me that in St. Croix (Episode 7) there were still six women remaining: AshLee, Lesley, Lindsay, Tierra, Desiree, and Catherine. We know Tierra had a 1-1; if there was a 3-1 group date, it seems to me that there are still two 1-1 dates up for grabs. It's suspected that Lesley got one - I would not think Desiree got another one since she already had two. It seems more likely that AshLee would get another one since her first one was so early but who knows.

Recently .. The epi just prior to HTDs provides every remaining gal a date .. A 2n1 with time allotted to each and 4 1n1s

Well .. After watching the preview again. It appears that there is an emergency that happens in Canada.....

And it certainly appears that Tierra is set up as the wench of the season .. No doubt at all... And Sean has a blind eye to a point about her as well Uuummm .. Ooo the drama of it all

There are also SCs that make me wonder if Ashlee goes home during her FD

A lot of what we are discussion here is based on RS spoilers. And yes, a lot is confirmed by previews and our own sleuthing, but there are gaps. And he did get the Joshua tree wrong, so I am not 100% he got everything else right. Plus, he doesnt have much there yet to be honest, and not as detailed as he usually does.

Sophie- I think he's having to stand down from further spoilers now because of the lawsuit (if I were his attorney- I'm not an atty, but if I were and were his) I would tell him to cool it- and that's why we haven't seen the last dates truly spoiled. I can see how he might have gotten Joshua Tree wrong if someone there contacted him with a physical description of Sean's date. Except for the obvious exceptional physical attribute which would have been partly obscured by the sports bra, the short, long brown hair description would work for both.

I'm really skeptical about the f1 because how late the dates are but honestly I'm open minded and I wouldn't mind the f1 being someone else

I thought that the recent dates before HTDs were three one on ones and one group date with three. But you are right that each gal gets time on a date with the lead. Here's what I remember:

Ben - one on ones for Courtney, Lindzi, Emily and a group date for Kacie, Nicki and Rachel
Brad - one on ones for Emily, Britt (she got canned on the date) and Shawntel and a group date for Ashley, Chantal and Michelle (SI bikini photo shoot)

But for Britt, it was her first one on one with Brad- at the last stop before HTD - I do think, at that point, it's probably NOT going to happen- especially since with her we'd seen no expression of excitement by either of them. The same is not true, certainly with Catherine, but even with Sean because though we didn't see their exchange at the cocktail party on film, there are cute still pictures. I am in no way saying those "stills" indicate Sean having more interest in Catherine than any number of other girls, but I don't know that Brad paid Britt any mind at all before their one on one.

I do think that if Catherine ended up with that 3rd one on one in St. Croix it would have been a contributing factor to Tierra going over the edge.

Oops .. Me bad .. Yes .. 3 1n1s
