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

[iamsam1008]

One thing I have been observing is the over whelming support for Catherine. She seems to be liked everywhere she goes. Even in this thread it is all about Sean. Has there ever been a more positive response to the F1? If you read her twitter, there are few crazies there from time to time, but overall it seems like she is perhaps the most popular F1 in the history of the show. Can anyone remember another? Maybe Roberto?

I think Emily Maynard would be the most popular, with Jef Holm a close second. JMO

Emily and Jef were absolutely trashed by many on the ABC board. I won't list all the reasons that were discussed, but it was as bad as with Courtney and Vienna.

I see there was a new response: Yes, I am taking into account the negative response. To me, Cat seems to have the highest sum total.

am with ya..Cat is the most popular in the history of the show!

If we are talking about the most positively viewed, or the most liked, how about Ryan Sutter and Tessa Horst? I don't remember much negativity. But, these two were before FB, twitter, any other social media.

Cat's only popular because she's current. There's been lot's of F1's that were very popular... and there will be future one's. Cat's 15 mins has been extended due to DWTS. She'll be old news soon.

Honestly, I don't think all that many people even know who she is or much about her unless you follow either show.

[northernviewer]

I agree Kasha... and I'd venture to say that she's only known to Bach viewers and DWTS people pay just as much attention to her (probably less) than they do to Ingo's son, Andy's daughter or Jacoby's mom.... she's sweet but once Sean get's voted out she'll fade away.

There was a writeup about the couple one time about them fighting and her being drunk etc, and the picture was not her but of her sister.
If she is that popular, the ragmag will not mistake her for her sister. I do not see it happening to Emily or Courtney.
Some of the bashers don't even know Catherine's name. They just call her the girlfriend or some other not so nice things. She is popular
as he is popular. Sean is one of the most popular bachelors and they ended up engaged so.

The most positively viewed F1s for me were Ryan Sutter and Tessa Horst too. Until now, fans still remember them. I guess we will know how
popular the F1 is, many many years after their season.


Off topic, I finally watched Ready for Love on NBC and I was surprised by how I liked the fourth episode. You guys should watch it. It's
a pity it got cancelled early, there are many reasons why but the show is growing on me. Something to help pass the time before May 27.

I meant among Bach fans. What is the Jen Scheft effect (SWSNBN)?

@notguilty.. I just watched Ready for Love also (on Hulu) I like the show too and wish it wasn't cancelled. I think they could have tweaked it a bit and made something of it. That kiss between Ernesto and Shandi was hot. Normally, someone like Ben would be my type, but I am really liking Ernesto.

I agree with the bolded. That was a bold move indeed, I hope it was not scripted. I like Ernesto's style, you kiss the girl when you feel
you are attracted to her and you feel you're in that "moment" not kiss everyone and hope to feel a spark. I like Ben too but
because I'm not fond of his girls, (especially Kari) it's affecting my view of him.

Jen Schefft--she who should not be named(SWSNBN). She had an acronym something along those lines for what she chose to do at the end of her season. There was no 'Ette from 2005 to 2008 and I joke putting the blame on her, but don't think she helped.

And again, amongst those who do follow the franchise I don't think Cat is close to being a fan fave due to no fault of her own, but due to the fact TPTB chose to keep her so hidden and low key during her season.

Jen Schefft did a Brad Womack 1, or Brad Womack did a Jen Schefft? Its not because of that, that I didn't like her but the
"Thailand, Thailand, OMG its Thailand" remark that she was remembered by.

I love that the eliminated girl warned him about Kari and gave him something specific. I kind of like Beth for Ben, but it does seem obvious that he still has feelings for Kari. It did occur to be that the producers told Ernesto to kiss Shandi because he hadn't kissed anyone on that episode, but let's put that right out of our mind. That was a perfect moment even if it was in the dungeon, errr "garden" below the stage.

Inside Catherine Giudici's 'Fantastic' Birthday Celebration with Sean Lowe


Sean Lowe had more to celebrate on Monday night's Dancing with the Stars than just a sexy, complimented rumba with partner, Peta Murgatroyd.

The former Bachelor star, 29, whisked away his fiancée, Catherine Giudici to a fancy dinner for her 27th birthday, immediately following the show.

"We had a big party with family and friends at Villa Blanca," Lowe told PEOPLE on Tuesday of former fellow DWTS castmate Lisa Vanderpump's trendy Beverly Hills eatery. "We had a good time celebrating. Peta was there and [pro dancer] Sharna [Burgess] was there."

Gushed Murgatroyd of the big night out: "It was fantastic. It was a beautiful dinner. We all were merry and wished her many, many happy things."

Even though Vanderpump joined the group at her restaurant, "I still had to pay for the food," Lowe said with a laugh. "She did give us free appetizers and drinks. I'll give her that. It would have been nice if she'd gotten my entrée. Come on, Lisa."

But one treat for Giudici that was entirely at the expense of Lowe was "a nice purse, which Peta helped me pick out," the hunky reality star said of the Louis Vuitton handbag he picked out as a gift.

To cap off the gifts and company, Giudici was especially impressed with Lowe's acclaimed routine from earlier in the night.

"She loved it," Lowe said. "She thought it was the best dance that we've had all season. She's always so supportive, though. Even if it was terrible, she'd say it was great."

Granting it's a joke. It is in bad taste. I really think he has no clue about women at all. Strange that Peta and Sean were interviewed when
it was her birthday. This tells me they(mags) are really not interested in what she has to say.
