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

Sean just voiced why I've been nervous about Catherine as the choice for him long term..glad to see he wondered about how well their lives would fit together..and that they showed it.

If they really are together right now, I don't think Catherine and Sean will last long. Oh well. That's the usual with this show.

Hmm, interesting. This dilemma definitely makes me think Catherine and Des were his top 2. I don't think he'd be agonizing over the decision so much if he knew he was ultimately going to pick Lindsay or AshLee.

Leads have told us producers pick the rose order. Someone asked Ali a few weeks ao if rose order meant anything and she said NO. Producers will even change rose order in the editing process if they think it will be more dramatic.

True and I usually would think the same thing but he seems confident that he is taking Lindsey and AshLee

Aww this is sad. Poor Des. She's a stealth mean girl no doubt but she's hurting and that sucks. I def think Cat and Des were his F2 and he made his F1 decision just now.

Yep :(

I adore(d) Catherine since pre-season and I think she's awesome - and Sean/Cat's scenes are really cute. But their relationship doesn't seem to have been developed enough to withstand anything post-show. I hope, of course, that they last, but I don't see it. Thank goodness school's been busy enough to keep me from being really invested this season I guess!

Did I hear him correctly? The one going home was between Catherine and Des? He wasn't even sure of her in F2? This whole season has been wonky (is that a word? HA HA).

exactly what im thinking now. Its strange that he picks her as F1 if he is having doubts at F4...

This is when he knew F1/F2 and had to send one of them home to lessen the pain! IDK, I'm reaching I'm trying to hold on to the Fairy Tale!

If it feels like a lose-lose maybe you should have kept them both and got rid of AshLee. I feel like that's how it would have went down but I think the producers were in his ear telling him to keep her because they had her in mind for the Bachette.

Argh, this sucks. WHY is it so hard for TPTB to show us a love story? That is why I LOVED Ash's season and why I was so frustrated with Emily...I just didn't understand how she could be so head over heels with Jef and still be kissing Arie that way.

I feel like we're being jerked around here and I'm feeling nauseous from all the back and forth.

I'm really hoping that this was him deciding between his top 2 girls and the others were just there because it would be easier to let them go later...
If he really chose Catherine it must be hard for her to watch this....

Well at this point, if Sean had picked any of the other girls as F1, their relationship would seem just as doomed if that makes any sense.
