Sean Lowe & Catherine Giudici - Bachelor 17 - General Discussion

Hometown #2: Catherine
I also LOVED their energy together and their ability to embrace life and enjoy it!
I know we saw lots of skepticism at her home, but that’s exactly what they showed when Ryan came to my hometown even though most of the night was spent laughing. I don’t buy into it wholeheartedly, but I know there has to be some truth to it because the wind seemed to have been let out of Catherine’s sails. I do know that even if Sean didn’t get a formal blessing from her mom in the kitchen, that if Catherine’s the one, he won’t let that stop him from contacting her again and asking a second time. A gentleman is as a gentleman does and he’s a gentleman.

Hmm...wonder if that's directed at a certain someone? Hugesmile

Anyone else listening to "Give it all we got tonight" by King George? Love that song.

The cocktail party was eventful to say the least! There was more drama with Tierra and the girls, which I did not know about at the time, and a big turning point for Catherine and me. She always stood out in my mind as someone very unique and different. She tapped into my inner nerd, which I loved, but I was afraid that she was putting me in the "friend zone" because every time I tried to show her affection, it didn't feel like she would reciprocate. And yes, that's right everyone – I'm a nerd. Deal with it.
Aggressive Friend Zone
Anyway, I was surprised when Catherine gave me the card with a kiss of lipstick on it. I'd call that "aggressive friend zone." She told me she wanted to kiss me but couldn't while the other girls were in sight. She was so nervous that she buried her head in my chest and wouldn't look up. After a few seconds I told her, "It's okay to look up," and then we had our first kiss.

What you didn't see was her excitement after. She was giddy and suggested that we frolic – definitely the first time I received that request, so I obliged. We skipped around the driveway ... and then played Dungeons and Dragons (not really).

Every girl gave it all she had and so I was sad to see the blue team go home. I remember going home after losing the sailing completion in Bermuda and it was a terrible feeling. Time is a valuable commodity and no one wants to lose it.

After getting ready for the evening, I couldn't stop thinking about the women of the blue team. And then it hit me – I couldn't let a silly race affect my time with these women. After all, I agreed to be the Bachelor in hopes of finding my wife, and it wasn't fair to me to miss out on time with them at this stage in the journey just because they lost a race.

I made the executive decision to bring the blue team back, which obviously upset everyone on the red team. I didn't enjoy hurting their feelings, but I knew it was the right thing to do.
