Episode 8 (HTD's) - 2/18 - Bachelor 17 - Discussion - Spoilers

I dont understand why we had to wait 7 weeks to see a love story though. I'm going to watch closely tonight to see what Shay was talking about how the connection grows from here on.

Does he send both Ashlee and Des home tonight and need to explain it tomorrow????

He may have a rose in his hands

Me too, I'm very curious to see what she meant.

He's probably holding #3.

Seems some great discussion happened while I was at the gym, lots of great thoughts everyone. To add more to why several of my friends think Sean is F1, they saw Sean acts different around her than the others. The lone male of the group said Sean worrying about Catherine friend-zoning him was a big sign that there was more there than we were shown. They also noted how Sean comforted her compared to others who have told him sad stories or cried. The difference on the last group date between him being there for her compared to how he was with Des was something they all noticed, the male especially. I've been thinking maybe age and experience with this show affects people's opinions. My friends range in age from 21 to 26, and besides the male who gets conned into watching by his girlfriend they have all watched this show for years.

As the old country songs says "I'm already there", Sophie...She had me when I saw her riding her unicycle. : ) I've just been waiting for them to let her shine on the show with Sean. I've liked what I've seen so far. I think she and Sean took their time to make sure it wasn't just a crush and they kept building each time the saw each other. I look forward to seeing what happens once they get to go public.

Now next season, (of course I'll watch even if I said I wouldn't. I didn't care for Ben at all, but still watched), but I won't be watching for the love story part of it. It will be for pure entertainment because there's no way Lindsay is gonna marry who ever she finds on this show. She's just too young and I don't see her dad letting that happen, even tho I know she's an adult. I just think they had better girls to pick from, but maybe by the time her show comes on I'll be able to understand what she says a little better and she'll understand that she has to be able to talk instead of kissing all the time to fill in gaps in her convo's with the men when she doesn't know what to say.

MF will prime her like he did with Ashley..As they say "The show must go on" LOL Have a good one, Sophie and am looking forward to tonight. : )

When Shay said tonight we will see the love story it is just as CH always say tonight the love story begins. Shay has taken CH line lol.

Y'all make sure to give lots of commentary on what all happens tonight for those of us who can't watch it live but can just read!! ;)

I agree with those who say Montana was big turning point for Sean & Catherine. Let's remember that Des chugged warm goats milk for her team's win and how does he reward her? By snuggling outside with Catherine on his lap. The gal who was not supposed to be there! Des took note of that & the fact that Daniella said how happy they were outside. The episode before that when Sean and Cat shared first kiss made many of my friends take note of Cat for sure. And when Sean brought back the other team, my friends all said same thing ... obvious that he wanted to spend time with someone on that other team. Just were not sure if Ash or Cat.

If producers had included the adorable Catherine's intro on opening night and given her just a couple more minutes of she & Sean together during first 3 episodes, I don't think anyone would be surprised she is F1.

Final thought... none of my friends have taken Des seriously throughout season because of preview with ex showing up. Majority thought it would be Lesley early on and now leaning towards Cat or Ashlee.

I've just had a thought about tonight's episode- at Catherine's house.... it will be interesting to see if Sean asks the sisters if Catherine is ready to settle down before the sisters grill Catherine about her feelings being genuine- or whether they have a ready answer for Sean because they've already grilled their sister.... not that the editors have to show us in real time, but we might be able to tell by the sisters' reaction to Sean's question.

I think the sisters are going to grill him shamelessly.

I have two sisters, and when you grow up surrounded with various traumatic incidents, especially when they happen in view of you and younger siblings... You just band together.

They will grill him like crazy, and will not be easy to welcome him in. I think he is going to be on the hot seat, and when he passes they will give him their blessing.
