Hi, hi, stuck

I luvvvvv Catherine: "Blue team's going down" said with the ferocity of a kitten. So cute!

Cat is really cute, I like that she is not being made a fool of. There is enough crazy going on already, she gets to stay normal.

That seems to be about the only consideration the producers are giving her. This has to be so difficult for the F1 under any circumstances to watch these shows and see her man admit to strong feelings for other women. This season I think it's so much worse since they are showing so little of Catherine's own interaction with Sean. Did they even show a second of her time with him at the cocktail party? If I were Catherine, I would be getting pretty pissed at the producers.

While I believe both girls are genuine in that they are prob just that nice in person I think in a big group like this it comes off as weak or insecure maybe. Doesn't mean that they are but I could see how a lead could potentially mistake that for people pleasing and not able to be forth coming with real feelings. The fact Shantal hung with dead people and wasn't going to be able to move away due to family biz didn't help her case either but I really remember her being sugary sweet as well.

Northern Viewer- I love Vally! I think they're a couple. Just saw on Instagram she was out with him, Max and others . So hot!

I haven't followed them since the season ended but that was one hot couple. Better than many seasons of the Bach LOL

Tierra is a pretty girl for sure however I think she is too young and emotional for this type of situation and will implode big time! With the other girls already seeing right through her charade and giving her a hard time I'm surprised she lasts as long as RS claims she does. She is top 4 right?

The Amanda chic needs to hit the road ASAP!

I guess she didn't catch on the first time. LOL I didn't see her with Sean at all, tho... NO chemistry at all, so glad he let her go when he did and didn't just string her along.

According to RS the final 4 is Des, Ash, Linds, Cat in that order of elimination. Des goes after home towns, etc.

Tierra loses it in St. Croix (Ep. 7) and leaves which is the same week Lesley apparently is eliminated.

At least she has the consolation of knowing there was more but the producers didn't find it interesting enough to show. Hopefully she understands that it isn't Sean behind this and directs her anger at the proper people (TPTB) for not showing much. And it seems like it won't change next week with the continuation of the Tierra drama. I'm guessing it might take til epi 5 before she gets any good screen time. This makes me sad, but probably not as sad as it makes the two of them.

Everything she's wanted is going to happen with him? Nothing can possibly go wrong?

Wow...oozing confidence...that doesn't bode well for her! (And such foreboding knowing Tierra was about to fall! LOL)

So interested to see what transpires to make her and D end up leaving where they do and not flipped. She seems so young! (And she's so much older than many of the others!)

How on earth is AshLee already falling in love with Sean and she's only had one date with him and it was shared? I'm sorry to her fans, but I'm just not feeling her. She comes off as a little TOO desperate for my liking. ; (

I believe the spoilers because Sean doesn't have an outright favorite right now and we now they are interacting as we see little snippets, but otherwise, I would think we were getting the Chantel edit from Brad 2.0, where she had to go the whole season with people congratulating her and everything.

My hope is that if the spoilers are true, Sean can talk to her each week and help her get through it, though I think she would have known by her late 1:1 that he was obviously connecting with other women at the beginning.

I also wonder if Sean never actually watched the bachelor and just got signed up for the bachelorette by his sister, he doesn't really seem to know all the behind the scenes crap that goes on with the girls and I don't think the bachelorette guys are quite so catty.

I also think the producers are less concerned with showing us a love story and more concerned with showing us the crazy and setting up their new bachelorette. The lack of air time for the winner wouldn't really concern them, they want America's next sweetheart.

These dates so far have been sucky!! LOL Did they cut the budget in half this season or what? : )

I am right there with you on the AshLee situation. Too desperate and I am not a fan of the abuse story so fast. It seems like something that would have been better later, but I have never been a fan of "let me tell you about the tragedy I survived on our first date". I know this is speed dating on crack, but still seems so desperate to me.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the bolded is the case.

And I definitely agree on your last point.

Gotcha- thanks for clearing that up
