Re: Sean & Catherine - The Bachelor 17 - Thread #2

For those comparing Sean to Jake, just remember how nasty and mean Jake was to his partner at times. I believe he made her cry on several occasions. So while you may not like Sean, at least he's not being a giant jerk to Peta and making her want off of the show.

I don't think those comments from Sean were serious. He's a joker plus He seems very aware of his limitations as a dancer and may wish to get 9s but likely knows that isn't realistic. I also think they played up needing permission from Catherine as a storyline only.

I really think Sean did very well this week and deserved better marks than Andy. I hope he survives until next week. Andy is funny but his dancing is atrocious.

Sean may be better than Andy, but it's freaking obvious that the show knew that Andy was beating Sean in votes. So, they had to make sure that he couldn't get more votes.

I just didn't appreciate the 'let's get Catherine, so he can tap his love for her and translate to Peta". It's just too contrived and corny.
It is for the Bachelor fans but it alienated a lot of people. I believe he will do good anyway without Catherine doing all that.
There is a time for everything. The audience is watching DWTS and not the Bachelor. I think its the production's idea anyway but its just felt too forced and artificial.

The problem with being The Bachelor is your backstory is really limited to you being engaged etc. Unlike other people in DWTS, they have
a bunch of things to talk about besides being engaged. They can be themselves, they can be about their sports, they can be about
their family. I guess they cannot talk about other things besides Sean being engaged. This is making him too one dimensional. So if its working for him its working against him too.

Agree... the show "The Bachelor" is an edited show. We did see an edited version of Sean, which was full of fantasy.. i.e amazing dates in romantic settings which were all planned and edited by TPTB. The "edited" version of Sean was a shirtless stud who swept women off their feet. We are now seeing the "unedited" more real version of Sean on DTWS, which is a nice, normal guy who isn't very charismatic. Not a very interesting story.

Just read tonight's blog T MJ's big blog. The person doing the recap said that after watching the dance off between Ingo & Sean, Sean should have won and the 3 points may cost him the show. I didn't watch it so can't comment. I don't think there's anything to be embarrassed about going home if he does. He danced well and likely wouldn't last longer than next week in any case.

Sadly you were correct.

I 100% agree with you, Atem and to top that Carrie Anne docked Andy for a lift? WTH was that called where Sean swung Peta around like a rag dog. I may be a little slow, but I can't get my mind to wrap around how she could have done that herself... Isn't that what a lift is??

When they start being as ugly as they were to Andy I normally check out for the season.. I enjoy Jacoby's dancing... Can't stand his ego..Don't want him to win.. Ally may be able to dance the steps, but she does nothing for me. Don't want her to win.... Zen shouldn't even be on there to start with.. I love Kellie and want her to win even tho I hate that it will give Derek another win, plus I agree with CA, she does the steps fine, but there's no passion in her dances. It's like she dances to get it over with, but isn't that thrilled to still be there. Those are the top 4 to me and I think the ones that have gone home have gone when they were supposed to.. I'll miss Andy Dick.

This show is more scripted than The Bachelor/Bachelorette.

Yeah, and I think a top 4 final is stupid. Perhaps just trying to fill time.

How would "the show" control the votes and keep one of the contestants from beating another contestant? Last time I checked last night at Idoldial Sean was getting 6 to 1 votes for Andy. Bachelor Nation stepped up for Sean last night in the voting. The results showed that.

From the previous weeks. You do forget that Sean was in the bottom 2 last week.

There was NO WAY for Andy to beat any of them. He would have had to had votes way above normal to even get close.

Dial Idol means squat, because it only focuses on a polling of people that vote by phone. Means nothing.

Looks like we get Sean to entertain us for another week....for some of us, it's for a different reason than how he entertains his fans :cheeseyy
