Oh she is definitely leaving .. on her own. And you and everyone else is wondering why is she even here? Of all the contestants that I have ever seen on this show, she is the one that intrigues me the most. Actually, she is the only one who has EVER intrigued me from this show. WHY??? Most of them come for the fun, the travel and adventure, but you would think that she gets that in her regular life? And I find it very difficult to believe that she came for love. I don't think she seems familiar with the show so I doubt she would apply on her own. So again, WHY???

Agree with you, Sprite. They didn't even give us enough information about her. Hopefully we'll know more after 1-on-1 date on Monday.

Sprite, I can't say I would know what her motivation would be - perhaps she wanted to move here? We don't really know how successful her current career is, right? But anyway, I do like her though. I've read the spoilers so I know it's only a matter of time and she'll be gone. She may have really thought she could find her bachelor on the show, perhaps she gets to explain her motivation after the episode she leaves. I do like Sharleen and Andi. Not sure if I would watch after Sharleen leaves, at this point I haven't even seen last Monday's episode yet. Unlike a couple of seasons ago, I haven't really invested my time or effort to this show.

Just saw some videos of Sharleen's performances. She is an excellent singer and will probably go far in the opera world. So, again, the question is: WHAT is she doing on this show? Wonder if we will ever find out her motivation....

I think it's safe to say that most of these guys come to the show because they are looking for love.This show and other mach makers programs are gaining more popularity as more and more success couples are coming out them. So, I can see someone like her or Andi coming to see "IF" they can find love. Des, on her blog said that Brooks told her that "he was not sure if he was ready for marriage". So, it's up to the lead to weed out those who are not ready, not there for the right reason, and those who are not a good fit for a lasting marriage if that's what him or her is looking for, which, from what we have seeing is very difficult, bcs they end up falling for multiple people. JMO.

Sharleen has several performances already booked for 2014. She performs at the Metropolitan Opera in New York starting April 3rd in Arabella.

Fiakermilli ¹ Arabella (R. Strauss) The Metropolitan Opera 2014
Oscar Un Ballo in Maschera (Verdi) Theater und Orchester Heidelberg 2014

She's performed at the Met before, in 2011. I would say that performing as part of a World Class Opera company qualifies and being successful.

JP LIKES Sharleen A LOT and I do too. I just wonder what would have happened if she had stayed on till the end.
I am looking forward to seeing how he takes her leaving. It will be telling for me no matter how it ends.
When the poor girl hardly sits down and he is in for the kiss, I had to LOL. Then tells her don't think. He won't like her leaving, IMO. She is my favorite. Classy and smart and not ready just to bow down to him because he is the Bachelor.

No, he won't like her leaving; I think he sees himself as a person who can attract intelligent, cultured women. It will hurt his ego more than anything else. Shades of Deanna and Graham???

Matchmaker Tracy McMillan tweeted last nite that Sharleen & Andi have a lot of self-worth. I love that about both of them. Interesting that these are the two women who supposedly take themselves out of the show at some point.

I think Sharleen has struggled in her relationship with JP because she's had a physical attraction to him, but there's been something missing. That's been the emotional/intellectual attraction. We hear JP say that he understands her, but we see Sharleen say that he doesn't.

I wonder if she takes herself out because she knows that he'll take her to the end and she doesn't want that to happen.

He likes Idea of Sharleen, Look of Sharleen, Mundo of Sharleen, but hasn't cracked her veneer to know what it would be like to even share a coffee with her in the real world, much less co-parent. It's a very shallow fit.

Also, last night, I found it as odd as CHarrison did that he just attacked her mouth when she sat down in Hobbitown. No attempt to "know her heart" or all the other stuff he says about others.

My own take on this season is that the Girl Friendships mattered a LOT here over time. As much as Lesley was not going to tell her BFF Catherine's future husband "I LOVE YOU" on national television (knowing what she knew about Catherine's interest and motives, etc.), even at the risk of being sent home, I think Sharleen and Andi were tight with Nikki, had little use for Clare, and removed themselves from the picture. Plus, Sharleen very obviously and rationally was not going to miss out on a major concert appearance over a guy that her friend Nikki had "dibs" on.

Sharleen, Andi, Nikki and Kelly tweet each other so I guess they were and are very close. You are right though there is no mention of Clare in their tweets.
