What's this about Selma having a a "no kissing" rule because of her faith? I wonder if there's a rule about showing herself half naked in public?

I know right??

glad you posted that.... I chuckle when people talk about sweet Selma. The girl is sooo brazen about her herself and her body..... no wonder Sean didn't choose her. I'm hoping Arie doesn't fall into her trap... but I'm afraid she's got her sights on him as I type this......

I don't know why Selma won't kiss Sean, but I'm pretty sure she's kissed quite a few men in her life- she's particularly attracted to professional athletes (e.g. Mike Napoli) and they aren't exactly shy about kissing...... and the little video above dispels the notion that she's modest in any way.

Do we know that Selma has a Muslim background? (There are plenty of Christians in the middle east.)

Isn't the photo shoot above a modeling gig, for which she got paid? How is that at odds with not wanting to kiss on a first date? It's not like she made a sex tape.

I didn't find anything objectionable about the video--it was simply a modeling job.
I don't know anything about her personal belief system either.
I also don't know how the edit will exploit either.
3 factors in the mix (how she portrays herself, her belief system and then how the show portrays her)

not kissing on a date and showing your boobs is most definitely related. If she was seriously a "good" girl who was so pure that she couldn't kiss a guy.... she sure as he!! wouldn't be showing off her boobs in public!! But then again, after watching Pretty Woman.... it seems that hookers don't kiss either as it's too personal

and let's not forget about all her crotch and boob shots on twitter and instagram...... the girl screams sexuality... and yet she doesn't "kiss" ya right.....

CH mentioned it in one of his interviews

I believe she described herself as .. Straight out of Bagdad

Does anyone else think its strange that Lindsay coming into the room with just a bikini on does not raise any question but who interupted her and the look when she tells them it is Tierra? I would be more concerned why she only has a bikini on and what she was about to do before she got interupted. But maybe this is just me.. :giggle:

I would think they were all told to bring suits on the date.... hot tub. And I would guess they all knew there was potential for that- so they didn't have to ask, they knew what she was up to..... but they wouldn't have expected the trip to the hot tub to be interrupted by anyone (though, frankly, after the last RC they probably could have expected Tierra to make sure no one would get to the hot tub with Sean unless it was her).

I was thinking the same thing.

Does it look like the other girls might have their bathing suits on too? Maybe, just Sean and Lindsay were going to get in the hot tub together.

I wonder where the hot tub is located in proximity to where the other girls were sitting. Would they have had to walk by the other girls to get into the hot tub?

Has anyone found the location where they are at? I am curious if it is within walking distance from the rink. Could it be at a hotel? Since Sean and Linday are talking about going to a hot tub.

I think Mr Write said it was at the W Hotel in LA. Don't know if anyone ever found pictures though.
