Thanks. I liked the organizer very much. And I did like Robyn too. The other black girl too, not Brooke. She looked like a drag queen.

I enjoyed the episode. Sean is really great, and I think he will be my favorite bachelor lead!

I really liked Sarah, AshLee, Robyn, Desiree, Catherine, Leslie and Lesley the best tonight. I wished we the convo with AshLee and Catherine though and why he gave them the rose. I would love for AshLee to be the next bachelorette if I had to choose, but I'm not sure she'll have as many fans as some others.

Can't wait to watch the rest of the season and for some new screen caps!

I was not that impressed with Catherine. This could change, of course.

Again with the tacky gowns. Kacie was the only one who was stylish and current.

Love that Desiree has a boyfriend show up to delcare his love at some point. Love it when this happens. I like her; my favorite so far. I liked Selma too.

Not impressed with Lindsay. If I didnt know better I would have pegged her as gone tonight.

Sarah is impressive, too bad having one arm is probably a deal breaker for many men.

Have to agree about the gowns. Just think...this is their best dress...it boggles the mind. They should try a more simple, classic style with a modern twist rather that all that glitter/beading. There really wasn't one dress that stood out for me that I would say "I would wear that".

According to RS, the boyfriend drama with Desiree is just a prank that she pulls on him although, they may edit it differently...as they obviously are in the promos, but that could change when they show the home town dates.

Apparently they are editing Lindsay as the sweetheart/possible next bette, but I wasn't a fan tonight. The unspoiled guy I watched with tonight thought she came across as desparate and didn't think Sean was all that into her...in fact, he thought she was going home. Based on Sean's reactions, he picked Catherine first, followed by Tierra, Desiree and Sarah. He thought the 50 Shades of Grey girl was a nut job!

A constant theme for the past week is how Sean's opinions of some of the girls changes as time goes on- some for better, some for worse. I think he didn't appreciate girls being drunk, but either he or the producers wanted to keep Lindsay around anyway. She was already regretting how much she'd had to drink, so I'm thinking he'll be pleasantly surprised next time out.

I loved the episode! Enjoyed Arie's comment..."That's not what you said in the fantasy suite" lol

Interesting that this thread wasn't all that busy last night. Seems quieter here than usual.

Here are some of my thoughts from last night:

Catherine came across well and seemed to TPTB's choice for "narrator'. Didn't see a huge spark with Sean but he definitely liked what he saw when she got out of the limo.

AshLee is stunning and I liked her interview/back story.

I liked that Sean handed out roses as he went along in the night as I always thought it must be hard to remember the conversations 8 hours later and that the RC must be painful to film as it's so long. Did think he gave out too many roses in advance, though. Eight or so would have been better.

Lindsay was definitely tipsy when she got out of the limo. And it only got worse as the night when on. I wonder if TPTB made Sean give her a rose as they were the ones who probably made her wear the wedding dress.

Gowns were mostly tacky. Some really bad spray tans too! Liked AshLee's gown the best. My teenage daughter thought the gowns and the girls were more 'fake' than usual.

Sean came across more genuine and likable. It's going to be a good season though I am already yawning that they will be in LA forever!

Kacie did come across as desperate, Sprite, I agree with your friend. We know they had the chance to date had Sean wanted that so why she is there remains odd. Next Bachette, perhaps. They hit pay dirt bringing Emily back having been out of the picture for awhile. Great season no matter who you were rooting for; passion and controversy abounded.

Best dressed award still remains in the hands of Shayne Lamas. I was hoping she would spark a new trend. Alas, didn't happen.

How ridiculous for Desiree/production to stage a scene with an old boyfriend. no no

I have not kept ontop of RS' spoilers other than the boot order.

I watched all but the last 1/2 hour, will watch tonight. Early favorites were Sarah, Catherine, & Lesley. I'm not sure if I liked Catherine as much as I thought I would but it's the first night. There were a couple of others but can't remember their name.

Not sure at all why Lindsay is supposed to be a fan favorite/next Bachelorette prospect. I didn't think she came across very well and seems very young.

I agree about Catherine. She seemed very young in some of her narrator talks. Too early to know, of course.

Haven't been on this part of the board much, but have watched the episode now. Catherine, in the pics posted from the first eppy, reminds me of a mix of Vanessa Lachey & Danica McKellar, only with a slightly darker complexion.

I liked the handing out of roses as the night went by, though I wish we'd been able to see some more of the conversations. All in all a nice first episode, and one that didn't bore me senseless like the first episodes tend to do. Looking forward to next week!

I agree about Catherine. I didn't "love" Lindsay either! But hm, its just the first episode! Also, I agree that her narration came across young, but I felt like the things she said, another girl could have said the same thing, which makes sense.. cause if I were in their shoes, I probably would have thought the same thing.
