Season 17, Episode 6

Episode Synopsis: Sean and the nine remaining bachelorettes head to the Canadian Rockies, where seven of the ladies take an ice-cold dip in Lake Louise. Elsewhere, adventurous one-on-one encounters unfold, including a monster-snow-truck ride on a glacier and a date that involves rappelling down a cliff. Three women are sent home after the rose ceremony. Original Air Date: Feb 5, 2013

The contestants chart says that two women go home in episode 6 but this says three. Anyone else notice that?

There are three going home is episode 5 according to the chart, so does the chart have it switched? Also their can't be 9 remaining 'ettes if three go home in Ep 5...

The chart is not totally updated. MissC hasn't been online. It is supposed to say that Daniella makes it to Canada and is eliminated there, so only Robyn and Jackie leave in episode 5. Selma and Daniella leave at the rose ceremony in episode 6, and Sarah is supposed to leave on the group date according to RS. I hope that makes sense! :)

That does make sense! Thanks for clearing it up!

To keep the F1 hidden even more than they already have? rotfl

If Sean finally has a one-on-one date with his F1 and no one sees it, did it really happen? :P

I don't know, it might do ok. I've never watched an episode of NCIS LA or Vegas so I'm probably not the only one.

I think the ratings are up this season, but it will be interesting if people remember to tune in on Tuesday as well.

I know I will be. yes

The evening ends with Sean supplying an unexpected surprise. Another bachelorette receives a terrifying individual date when the couple needs to rappel 400 feet down a cliff in Banff National Park. Despite a raging snowstorm, the women scramble to advance their connection with Sean. Nerves are at an all-time high, and Sean's feelings are growing for all of the women, but six will remain at the end of the night, on "The Bachelor," TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5 (9:00-11:00 p.m., ET).

Does this ep sound as romantic to any of you as it does to me?

Totes romantic rotfl

You know that's totally the tptb's vision of romance.

I think it will depend on Monday's show, and how dramatic they make the preview for Tuesday! If people get hooked, they might turn on the next day

I don't know that all of these dates are the idea of tptb's this time around. I think Sean is into extreme sports himself and these are probably some of his ideas as well. They will always do one extreme sport kind of thing like the bungee jumping or scaling down the side of a tall building. But this has been one extreme sport event after another. Didn't we have an episode earlier where he and a gal scale down the side of a building? Then we get a rock climbing date. Then its a roller derby date, with extremely tacky outfits the girls are supposed to wear which were totally hideous. Now he "Implores" the girls into doing the whole polar bear thing in cold Canadian waters? In their bikini's??

Please. This is not about Sean finding love. (As if it ever was)... This seems more like Sean trying to land some sort of gig with a sports talk show or some sort of body building - gym type spokesman/model job. Maybe we are going to see the next new energy drink with his picture or name on it. Or some sort of protein powder drink Sean will start peddling.

No. Not my idea of romance either. None of these dates have screamed romance to me. Can you imagine having to go on that rock climbing date like Selma did, and then have to go get cleaned up and glamorous to go dine?? C'mon, Selma is young, beautiful, and looks like she's in good shape but don't tell me she wasn't sore as heck after doing the rock climbing thing. Especially as tense as she probably was, her whole body probably ached for days after that. Poor thing probably couldn't drink enough water fast enough or take enough ibuprofen after that. I would have needed a good massage, a big glass of wine to take the edge off, a bottle of ibuprofen or better yet some tylenol 3's, and a great big hot bubble bath to soak out all the aches and pains. I probably would have needed ice packs for the areas where they strapped the rope around my inner thighs and buttocks region like the did to Selma.

Note to all the ladies out there wanting to be on the show; when tptb ask you what your greatest fear is, because they will for sure sign you up to do just that if you are selected for a date - tell them you are scared to death of flowers like roses and daisies. Tell them you have a total phobia of puppies and kittens, or that your terrified of small children. Make hem believe you are frightened by shoe stores, or Coach purses and accessories. Make them understand how much you hate the smell of gold and rubies and emeralds, and how shopping for such items brings you to your knees with fear and are just overcome by total panic. Tell them a horrific story about a wine tasting trip you went on and how you don't think you will ever be able to go wine tasting again. Ever. Just brings back too painful memories, and that you. Just. Cant. Do. It.

Follow this advise and I promise you will get The. Best. Date. Ever.

Oh, and yes, it showed Tierra in her bathing suit as she was running away from someone or something screaming 'no no'. I also think that the reason its two nights of bachelor fun because there is what seems to be severe trauma in the next episode and they probably needed an extra hour to show us, the viewers, that all is ok and everyone is fine after whatever it was they did, which turns out to be the polar bear plunge type of event, and that tptb aren't the complete idiots they have made themselves out to be this season. I think whoever that was being shown shaking, which I think was Tierra, wasn't faking it. She was in serious trouble health wise and probably went to the hospital. Who knows.

I am really confused by this whole season. The editing is so bad, the lighting in many scenes is atrocious, many of these dates are either asinine or total repeats and the derisive commentary on Twitter by the producers about the show and contestants has been surprising. I am guessing that Sean is so easy going and nice that they opted to create their own chaos.

I am seeing a lot of commentary where people like Sean and the ladies but aren't enjoying the season or are bored with it. It appears TPTB really like Sean a lot but didn't really put much effort into the planning and production of the show. Based on their own comments, it is almost like they view their own work product as a joke of sorts.
