Episode 10 (Finale) - 3/11 - Bachelor 17 - Discussion - Spoilers

^^Umn, from the amount of emotion that is being conveyed in these caps, I would guess she goes after Sean once he leaves. It may not be immediately. I could see the producers taking her ITM (is that what they're called?) to capture the emotions of that moment...of her being out on that limb by herself. But then similar to what we saw in Emily's season, TPTB tell her where she can go to find Sean and then film this too.

I love the SC of him pushing back her hair- soothing her. What a bond they're building!

The contrast between this LCD- sitting, talking, being vulnerable- and what we've seen of Lindsay's- an activity (setting the lantern off) is interesting. Of course we only have snippets now.

I hope we don't have 20 minutes at the beginning of season review and travelogue- I've got to think they have plenty to show us that went on that week.

Yesssss! It is so helpful to have these sc's now that we've seen the preview! The screencaps have to be after he left if she's still weepy so somehow they meet again. This is gonna be such a tearjerker!

In the clip, after Sean walks out the door, we see Catherine poking her head out and watching him. I automatically thought that this is where she goes after him. Now I'm even more anxious to see that particular conversation! Pass the tissues already...

Have you all seen the Finale Sneak Peek Video? It's posted on the other thread.

I wish we could just fast forward to the final rose ceremony! I know it is going to be a really beautiful one because I do believe that both Catherine and Sean have fallen for each other, and I think post-show actions by them both show that they are still very happy, so that is something to look forward to.

I am also looking forward to seeing Sean's chat with his mom. It looks so real and sincere. I always loved Sean's mom and dad since the first time we met them.

I don't know if I'm suppose to post this here, but here goes.

I just saw this video of Sean and Catherine's LCD and it made me so sad. It seems she really doesn't think he is going to pick her. Maybe that letter is her telling him goodbye. I really hope he does want her and not Lindsay. Although, I like both Catherine and Lindsay, I see a real love connection between Sean and Catherine.

Oh sorry, I see the video I posted, was already posted in the Video Discussion section. I had just come across it myself online, and hadn't read anyone talking about it in this thread, that's why I posted it.

Anyway, the way Sean is looking at Catherine when she says she sees herself accepting his proposal as the only possible outcome of this show, is the only reassuring part of that clip. He looks like a man in love, but I guess he can't allow himself to confess his love, while there are still two women involved.

I guess the tabloids were wrong, they said Sean told both women he loved them.

Look at how he's looking at her when she says she wants him to propose to her:

Nothing with Lindsay seems as emotional, but I think that's been true all season, according to her edit. It seems to be her personality, rather even-keeled (kind of like never-really-been-in-love-before Sean - I don't count the bubble emotions he had for Emily). But of course she's contemplating marriage and a family with Sean - I think we'll see deeper discussions than before - and just the brief glimpse we've had of her and Sean tells us that she definitely lets him know her expectations and her disappointment if they don't play out as expected. I see true feelings from him regarding her as well as Catherine. I believe he had convinced himself it would be her, and he's still in that mindset - but obviously his heart is winning out over his head (or there are going to be a lot of fans blubbering on Monday!).

Cat was exuberant about every group date, "over the moon" about the ice castle date, always smiling at the rose ceremonies. Once they hit hometowns I think we see a shift from the giddy girl with a big crush to the woman experiencing big feelings and contemplating a future with Sean. She's not afraid to show her excitement or her feelings, but definitely is more sober when it comes to voicing those feelings. One big way I think Cat and Sean are alike is that they have the outward confidence or bravodo, but have an inner vulnerability. Hers seem tied to her past experiences, and the uncertainty that things will go her way in this. His seem to be because he is faced with such a wealth of emotions in such a short span of time, and his desire for happiness and having things settled once and for all are battling with having to inflict pain on a woman he cares for deeply.

Mimi, who really needs to get a grip on her own wealth of emotions

Very well said and I agree completely!! :Smiley:

I don't know, but for the first time I am observing that they are outside in those close ups, right? I'm going back to that preview video these are from.

One more day! I am so excited for this finale! :D
