Re: The Bachelor: Sean Tells All - 02/19 - Discussion Thread

I think this whole show is about ABC being really happy about the ratings they got on Tuesday. The producers were beside themselves with happiness on Wednesday morning when the ratings came out and what do you know - the next thing that happened was they announced this show. Way too coincidental to not be ratings driven.

Does anyone think they'll spend time on this show promoting the next bachelorette - not announcing her, just talking her up, showing more footage of her (Lindsay or whoever)?

Agree it's about the ratings and it doesn't appear the station has anything better to offer that night. I don't see a parallel with Deanna's season and any need to redeem the lead.- the disaster to me was that she let loose at all the guys because they weren't treating her like a queen (paraphrasing). It's certainly not a "default" situation - Sean was definitely beginning to tire of Tierra's drama. IF there's any truth that he was down after Montana and up after Canada, that means his Canada dates were successes. He certainly wouldn't have been happier about Canada because of any relationship improvement with Tierra.

It looks like the unspoiled are torn between people they like so TPTB want to encourage that so I expect to see scenes from earlier that show all 3 that are left in the best light. Ratings gold if there's THREE strong contenders - or in otherwords someone for everyone to root for and it isn't the same person! The highlight of this season all along is the variety and likeability of so many of the gals. Someone from young girls, teenagers, 20's and oldsters to all like, and a varied type of eye candy for males that enjoy that!

I do wonder if they planned on having this special if the ratings were low. I guess we will never know.

I think the special is a direct result of the strength of Tuesday night's ratings... The smashed "Smash" and want to do it again. It bolsters Millsy's new show, "The Taste" which leads in to the special. The shows originally scheduled were of no consequence.

This was filmed prior to the mon/tues rating

It may have been filmed prior to the ratings this week, but they always film. Sit down with CH. They just decided to make it longer than the usual small segment of the WTA and give it its own night because of the ratings I believe.

if we didn't know it was Cat i bet this season would have been a whole lot of fun to sleuth. people on this board are pretty amazing at sleuthing and the theories would have been all over the place. personally, i sure wouldn't think it was Cat if i weren't spoiled. maybe after HTs but not yet anyway. i'd be worried tierrable would be f1. giggling

Even if I weren't spoiled I would lean towards him picking Cat. His BL is totally different with her. It's like she's a princess and he's afraid she'll break or disappear, plus he kisses her differently than the others. It's like each kiss is his first kiss with her and he wants to remember it.. Then there's all the extra cheek and forehead kisses he gives her that he doesn't give the others. I think it sticks out like a sore thumb that he's falling in love with Catherine, but that's just what I'm getting by watching it...I think it adorable because I never bought that he fell in love with Em. I always thought that was just for storyline purpose. They had to have 3 men that were in love with Em. I think this is the first time Sean has really been in love..

This is exactly how I see it as well. Like you, I never bought that he was in love with Emily. Infatuated, in the bubble...Yes. In love...No.

Sean is just so different with Catherine...from Emily and from the others this season. That first kiss in the driveway was the aha moment for me. Things started changing from then on. Again, like you, I see him falliing in love with Catherine. He likes the others, there is even attraction, but it seems as if she is his whole package...and he is slowly becoming aware of that.

I really liked Sean last season. I know some found him boring and obviously not everyones taste. Have to admit, he's not my usual type either, but he just grew on me and over the course of the summer as I read some to the things he was posting, I learned to appreciate him more. He just seems like a straight up, nice guy who loves his family and has a goofy sense of humour and is more open minded than I think he is given credit for. Catherine seems to be a good match. For some reason, since I saw her sitting in her dino costume, I really liked her. I am very much looking forward to the rest of the season because from now on the producers can't really hide her. HTDs, FDs, meeting the family and last chance dates, they will be alone without the others and interruptions. I'm sure there will be some tricky editing to confuse the audience, but I want to see Sean's :shocked!: moment with her. :rosiecolored
