aww! I'm feeling all happy and s.hit for them. I never imagined him being a super affectionate/open guy, boy I was wrong.

Seeing all those pictures with his niece and nephew and how much they loved him gave it away for me. Man has to be very loving to have those kids respond to him like that. I can just imagine a miniature version of Cat bouncing up and down and looking at him with those big brown eyes...man will be putty!

Haha why wait for the miniature version of Cat when it's already true when he's with the full-sized model? He's just the cutest with her!

Love how animated he is with her

One comment about something that does perplex me. I too, felt that Chris was a bit harsh and non supportive. Herein lies my conflict.

I had felt that Sean and Catherine are both "different" than most of the previous couples. They are more "old fashioned" and religious than others and out of place with the sexually charged environment called the Bachelor. Perhaps, almost too "mature" or level headed to be on the Bachelor. On one hand they seem very unlikely to be on a reality program yet on the other despite that sense, not only are they on it, he is now dancing and they are planning a wedding all on TV.

SO I guess what I am saying is that my read on them both was off and obviously there is another answer. They want to seize the opportunity and grab all the $$ they can. This brings me back full circle to say that if what Chris was saying was that offensive and if they truly are as "different" as I thought, they would have declined the offer and rode off in the sunset like Ben and Courtney did away from the cameras. I understand they would have no way of knowing what Chris said prior to that live AFTR but c'mon he has said a few other things that were in the public domaine that would have been offensive to me if I were them. ( Ashlee was in a different place, for example). I don't blame them for capitalizing but I wish we actually saw the "real" couple.

I interpreted the "change your mind" comment as just a good-natured joke, not a dig on Catherine, and I don't put much stock into what Chris said in interviews before the episode. What I did notice is the difference in how Chris handled the wedding talk in this ATFR vs. the one with Emily/Jef. When Jef mentioned they were going to start planning a wedding, Chris seemed downright skeptical, and it was not discussed much at all. With Sean/Catherine, he was talking up the announcement all night, asked lots of questions about it, and exclaimed about how no other couple from the show has ever seemed so sincere/genuine and ready for that step (don't recall his exact words). I came away with the impression that Chris was more than usually confident in this couple. Funny how everyone interprets things differently.

One of Chris's interviews today said they were gearing up for a big summer - the date/season want mentioned on ATFR, so clearly they've set a date, and Chris slipped up

I don't know if we've heard if Bachelor Pad is on again this year..... if it is, there is a brief break in Bachelor production once they all wrap in mid- May until production for BP- which is about 3 weeks in June as I recall (I may be off, but I think that's when they tape). Then there are windows of time until they tape a MTA and have another ATFR in late July/early August. So, somewhere in those windows they'll probably have a wedding. It's easier to find airtime in the summer with all the reruns, etc..... so that's less of an issue than finding a time when those who should be involved are available.

SEan look really skinny in that playful pic with Cat.

Something to me seemed off when did they talk shows today. I believe Sean is way more into Cat then she is into him. I think real lfe has hit

I agree with you. I saw interviews and it seems like he waaaay more into her then she is into him.

He looks like he lost weight because he's probably been practicing for DWTS. It's very rigorous. And also, from being away from Cat. He probably don't have much of an appetite because he missed her so much.

Admittedly I haven't seen any interviews today yet but I can't imagine that she's not into him. She cried telling him she loves him, did things way out of her comfort zone and made herself vulnerable to him, and is moving her whole life to be with him.

I personally dont think she likes the cameras at all. She is happy though from what I see and nervous

Doing back to back to back media interviews can be nerve-wracking and uncomfortable. Sean has lots more experience than Cat...that is all.
No doubts in my mind that they are doing fine :Nod:
