Sean & Catherine Lowe - Bachelor 17 - Discussion

I went home that afternoon and shared everything that transpired with Catherine. To my surprise, she was much more open-minded than I was about the whole idea. This came as a surprise to me because Catherine never gives much consideration to money (it’s one of her best traits). “It might make our marriage even stronger,” she said. “And the money will be a blessing too.”

I stand corrected.

Thanks! So she doesn't give much consideration to money but in this case, money is an added blessing? Good for her.

So Sean said he regretted DWTS (and even advised CS not to do it), then regrets CWS and now regrets MBC?  

Ummm.. that's a lot of regret and is definitely a pattern of regret revolving around his choice to continually do reality-TV and to me, sounds like someone who does things for the money/fame/to stay relevant and then uses the "regret" to whitewash any "edit" or "backlash" he may get.  

If one keeps making the same choices over and over and just spouts "regret" but never learns from those regrets to not do them again, then it only shows me Sean is just spouting words.  

So Catherine doesn't care about money but will happily pimp herself out for money? What does this say about Catherine? This is honestly hilarious.

You also have to consider that on his blog not only that part . Before they  jumped in completely they contacted trista to asked more about it and she gave her thoughts since they did it.And that made them give more thoughts to do it too, well aside from the cash that he honestly admitted anyway.

Maybe he meant she only cares about material things.

It's strange. Heck I care about money, it isn't a bad thing to 'give consideration' to it. Not sure why he'd call that one of her best traits

Hopefully it won't be Trista's fault that they did it

For real. What would it look like if Catherine DID care about money? Would she switch to having sponsored IG posts every single post instead of every other one?

It's their whole holier-than-thou attitude that bugs me. I'll be honest - if someone had offered me ~200k to get two weeks of fake therapy, I would have happily done it too. But, I sure as heck wouldn't have written a blog writing "I actually don't even care about money! It's one of my best quality, FYI! I'm mainly just trying to shine light in a dark world, okay?".

Actually that's what most bothered me while I was reading that blog entry. He kept mentioning how Trista said this and Trista said that and Trista said their stint on the show went pretty much unnoticed so it didn't lead to any backlash. It did feel like he was kinda of holding her responsible for their decision to do it, which may not have been intentional, but that's how it came off. Like they knew that there would be backlash and their reputation could be tarnished, but Trista put their worries to rest and lead them to think that no one would care about them doing the show. So now if they do get a lot backlash it'll be a "surprise" instead of something totally predictable that they should've considered before agreeing to it. Some people just refuse to be held accountable for their own actions. If nothing else works just bring up you know what.

I may be not remembering this exactly correct, but didn't Catherine want a BIG closet in her new home, which she got? Square footage in a home comes at a cost, and that cost requires MONEY! She always wears beautiful clothes, shoes, makeup etc when out for events. That requires MONEY. So while she may say she doesn't care about money, it is my opinion that she cares about the things that require money.

Where does it state that they are making $200,000 because the normal pay for every couple I have known has been $50,000 each.

Just curious

In the interest of facts I'd let to point out that only 1 of Cat's last 10 Instagram photos would be considered an "ad". Now if you consider posting pictures of their cute dogs as ads than that's another story.


I'll show myself out now.
