Maybe he saw something long term with Catherine.

I love Sarah and would like to see her become the next Bachelorette. I just connect with her and want to see her find happiness.

I can tell you one thing though. I am over the drama already. I was tempted to fast forward anything showing Tierra and some of the other girls who don't make it far. I can do without the filler and scripted lines. Show me the love story and meaningful conversations. That is what I care about most when watching this show.

I enjoyed watching last night's show. Sean is truly a great guy and has enough spark and sense of humor to carry the show. But they did a great job of casting girls who would be attractive to him while also providing some drama for the show. At one point while watching I said to myself, "Boy is it fun to watch this train wreck!" especially when you know Sean whittles it down to some great girls.

Who was the woman who seemed tipsy throughout (including the outtake)? Daniella? I was surprised he kept her. However, there's not much drama when you only eliminate 2 out of 19 girls!

I will say, though, that I didn't find the actual dates very interesting (except Sarah's). We'll be sick of the LA episodes before they are finished!

I loved the clip with Daniella, Lesley and Catherine at the end! Really funny

I can't believe how much Desiree looks like Katie Holmes.

I am not getting it either. Lindsay seems nice, cute and sweet but very young and I can't imagine watching an entire season of her being the Bachelorette.

I am so far a Lesley fan, both her personality and her scenes with Sean. Her no kiss scene reminded me of Jef and Emily in Bermuda. They seem to have the chemistry but I am thinking that she is probably a democrat (I am pretty sure RS said she is at a political consulting firm for the Democrat party) and Sean clearly being very conservative played a big part in him sending her home.

I also am starting to like Catherine in what little scenes they show of her. The scenes with her Lesley and Daniella (I think :S) at the end were pretty funny, they just seemed like me and my girlfriends.

I think chemistry wise Des and Lesley are in the lead.

Its funny that someone should mention that everyone assumed that Jef wasn't Emily's type, people assume that Sean wants the blonde big haired conservative girl. However based on the girls that he is showing interest in they all seem bubbly, a little quirky and confident, a little different from Emily who is more on the reserved side.

I like Lesley too. While it's possible that her being a Democrat influenced Sean, it's very clear that most of Catherine's family are very liberal (to which I can relate) and her bff Crista follows President Obama on twitter - of course, that doesn't necessarily mean that Catherine follows suit. On a different note, it seems that at this point in the season Catherine and Lesley are becoming friendly as they seem to be next to each other in many of the SC's.

You can really tell that Sean is in this to find his wife which I don't think the past bachelor was. Thank God Sean is not another Jake! I am very excited to see Sean's journey to find his wife! It was an awesome episode tonight.

I agree, the Sean I am watching now is a lot better than Emily's Sean!

As things stand, I would have a hard time believing her as the next Bette. Desiree would be a much better choice.

I am just loving Sean as the Bachelor. Not only is he nice to look at, but he has a sense of humour and is being so respectful with all the women. I thought he handled Robyn's question so well...not practiced, but natural. I actually believed him. He is also a lot more thoughtful intellectually than I gave him credit for.

I also believed him in his conversation with Robyn. Its funny how much people assume based on looks. People didnt think Jef would be Em's type and people assumed Sean only wanted another Emily yet his wife to be is a pretty asian woman. On a side note, I really like Robyn. I hope she goes on bachelor pad.

I guess no one else caught that during this serious 1:1 convo with Robyn (that Yawn emphasized was the most important of the night and was so glad she brought up), Yawn called Robyn "Leslie". :shocked!: Anyone doubting it go back and listen it was as clear as a bell to me and I had it replayed.
I wonder why their audio editors did not fix that. It was obvious to me. Strange.
The topic was dating culturally diverse women. Yawn is emphatic about this being the most important question of the evening and how happy he is it was brought up, yet he calls the woman he is speaking to the wrong name.
My take--the editors purposely left it in! Maybe Yawn can't tell some of the MOT gals apart. No wonder he gave out so many roses ahead of time. If you can't remember the name of the woman you are speaking to in a 1:1 and call her by the name of another of the same race, a rose ceremony is a land mine.
This easily could have been edited out. Strange. :giggle:

So far, I like what I am seeing out of Sean. So much more personality than what was shown on Emily's season. After enduring Jake, Brad 2.0 and Ben, I am really enjoying watching a bachelor who seems sincere and attentive to all the girls. It seems to be a good lead....so far.

Still not sure of the final 1.....she is a really cute girl but seems so young! Hoping in weeks to come I begin to see their connection.

by mandmmom2 Tue Jan 15, 2013 11:57 am

I didn't get to watch all of the show so plan too tonight. My DH HATES this show and to keep the peace I switch it when he gets in from the gym....normally he goes downstairs to watch sports and I change it back but this time he decided to stay upstairs with me. Sigh.

I'll get to watch it all tonight so no big deal. I'll probably start over and at least FF through commericals.

From what I did see I already don't like Tierra...

I think you could be right. I really liked her and she was one of my favorites in epi. I also really like Sarah & Leslie. I thought Catherine would be my favorite but she's not, at least right now. I do like her but not as much as the others.

Sean is growing on me. He's a nice guy and seems to be sincere and he has a sense of humor which helps a lot. Right now Desiree appears to be the front runner but he seems to have a few favorites including Catherine.

That's the first adrenaline date that I could see me doing even though I'm afraid of heights. I love freefall rides. :Nod:

I love Sean! Like, a lot! Echoing many sentiments already expressed here last night, the episode was just refreshing to watch, and the cat fights were tolerable.

The editing so far reminds me of Emily's season given that the F1 is basically out-of-sight for the time being. Desiree reminds me of Arie, the front runner for most of the season. I am very interested now in learning the reason for their demise, wondering if the boyfriend prank was too much for Sean that late in the game if his feelings for her were super strong. That said, she's super adorable and a fave next to Lesley.

The show really is working the angle that Sean falls for multiple girls and you can see it. I think he really likes Selma at this point too along with Des and Leslie. There's a shift in his body language, face, and voice when he really likes the girl though he's doing a wonderful job of making them all feel special.

The Kacie thing, I think they both know it's only going in the direction of her maybe being considered for the lead or Bachelor Pad. No love connection there.

Love this season so far!

Tierra is just very immature. Some of these women do seem too young. When your in your twenties a few years does make a difference in maturity level cause the younger ones like Lindsay and Tierra still act like they just got out of highschool.

Hey, Veg. I definitely concur that they are showing very little of the interaction between Sean and Catherine. I think, however, they are making us aware of her through her many PI's. Further, I think clues are being given as to how he ends up shifting to her. In almost interview he has done, Sean has spoken about how important the personality of the woman is to him (compared to looks). The one bit of the interaction between Sean and Catherine at the cocktail party we were shown was his telling her that she had an "infectious personality."
