While I enjoy Sean and Catherine and have no issues with them or anyone making money off the franchise, I also have no problem with others citicizing them...or anyone else. We all have our own experiences and they dictate who we like and don't like. That being said, I do have to point out that most of this list, while indeed factual, could also apply to most of the married couples and some of the singles as well.

Any lead did the Bachelor or Bette before going on to do their own show. Several did DWTS, Celebrity Family Fued and Who Wants to be a Millionaire. With the exception of Des and Chris, all of those who ended up with a successful relationship got their own wedding shows and all the stuff associted with it. They were invited to each others weddings and even on BIP and After Paradise. Practilcally everyone was on the Bachelor at 20 and all of them had to do numerous appearances to promote the show before it aired and after. Even Celebrity Wife Swap was done with Jason and Molly and Trista and Ryan did Marriage Boot Camp. So while it seems factual for Sean and Cat, it is just as factual for several others if we were to actually make a comparison list for everyone.

As I posted previously, Sean can be described as a "comma, but" person. Others in BachNation have appeared on some, not all of these shows - fair enough.   Here is a condensed comparison list based on what you mentioned above.

Sean did the Bachelorette before the Bachelor, but so did other leads.
Sean did DWTS, but so did Trista. Jake, Chris, Melissa x2
Sean did a televised wedding, but so did Ashley & JP. Trista/Ryan, Jason/Molly, Tanner/Jade
Sean did Celebrity Wife Swap, but so did Jason & Molly.
Sean did Marriage Boot Camp, but so did Trista & Ryan. MM has done it, but I don't think it has aired yet.
Sean did  Who Wants to Be A Millionaire, but so did Des & Chris. Trista/Ryan, Ali, Arie, MM

Here's an interesting "comma, but". Except for Jason, all of the above couples are still employed in the same capacity as they were when first appearing on the show. It's easily verifiable and not at all ambiguous.

Des - bridal industry, wedding gown design
Chris - Mortgage banking
Ashley - dentist
JP - commercial construction
Ryan - firefighter

Now that's an interesting "comma, but" comparison. SeanCat choose not to "bite the hand that feeds them" because it is what feeds them. Others can choose not to appear on every one of the shows Sean appeared on because they have actual jobs. IMO.

I don't have a problem with them not biting the hand that feeds them. I prefer the security of a 9-5 job, but that is me. It is their choice and as long as they are not hurting anyone, I don't really care. I get their sense of humour so the things that seem to bug others and they think is rude/condescending/hypocritical, I don't get offended by and usually think is funny. (That includes the latest thing that seems to be offending people...about knocking her up all over again.) *edited

Now that's an interesting "comma, but" comparison. SeanCat choose not to "bite the hand that feeds them" because it is what feeds them. Others can choose not to appear on every one of the shows Sean appeared on because they have actual jobs. IMO.

I actually think Jason does have some kind of normal, ho hum, 9-5 job. Molly always maintained her normal purchasing/buyer job for a shoe company, but only in recent years quit that to be a radio personality on a Seattle morning show. Trista was a pediatric physical therapist, but never went back. She's a SAHM.

In addition to the laundry list above of Sean and Catherine's appearances, they've shown up on multiple ATFR/MTA episodes giving updates. I know they all do, but it's my perception SeanCat show up more often. There was the infamous JPG ATFR where they ripped him a new one, but they were also on The Farmer's red carpet premiere. Also, they showed up on another one where Cat unveiled her new bangs. Jast recently, Sean was on Ben's premiere giving him "advice." Those are just a few that come to my mind. I feel like there may have been more.  

You know it's bad when you're watching Tanner and Jade's wedding, and your husband, who only half pays attention to this drivel is questioning me about "where his man, Sean is? He's always at these things!" Lmao. So yeah, even my husband, who doesn't care, only watches some of this stuff half heartedly with me notices Sean shows up a lot at these events. Like a lot.

I really don't think Seancat were asking the franchise to appear with some of their events. They never asked them to guest them but they were asked to appear . Just like others do. Too. I don't think it's their fault if the franchise always included them on their show related appearances in every new season of this franchise.I for sure if they don't always included them they would be okay with it and doesn't care . Hopefully the franchise will change that and be let the fresh ones . I mean just like others they are just being nice and just go and appeared . On janner wedding I am not sure if they are invited since they are not close to the couple . I don't know if the other married couples are also invited or not on janner's wedding. I ceratinly don't have a problem if the franchise asking these formers to appear from time to time and being asked or ask though. At the end they were part of this silly show though. Jmo.

Sure, all of the marrieds do appearances, other shows, keep themselves out there to some degree. It varies couple to couple. SeanCat also did the McDonalds commercial, but so did Chris/Des just to add. I think the point is, SeanCat seem to do all of them. The others have only done some, again, all to varying degrees. And I think that's where some are getting the perception that Sean and Catherine put themselves out there time and again more so than the others. JMO.

^i got what you mean . As I said it is not their fault why this franchise always included them. It is not like them asking the franchise to guest them but the franchise keep inviting them . So maybe you should ask the franchise itself . As just like others they are being nice , then appeared to it . Jmo.

Also SeanCat were the couple after their wedding that said they weren't interested in doing tv anymore. That changed. Now they have said it again, so we will see if it sticks this time.

Do they all hire agents almost immediately after their season is done?

He himself actually tweeted several months ago that you could get his book at Amazon for 98 cents not being sarcastic just stating what I read many times.

It was on sale for a month at that price. It's not currently though.

You can still get it on Amazon for 50 cents now plus shipping and handling cost.

I think one of my big issues with them is they do MBC, but know their plan did not work to try to appear pretty much perfect so they then asked their fans not to watch so they wouldn't see that side of them. They are far from being bad and weren't bad all the time on the show but Sean's temper towards Cat came out more than once in their bathroom arguments but then would lie about them when asked. They wanted the money but appeared to think they were above everyone else and didn't need the counseling. I would like them a lot more has they been more open and much less judgemental like others have been on there in the past.

All IMHO

I don't know about all, but yes, many of them do.

What’s next for your both?

Sean: We’re both staying extremely busy. Catherine’s running her stationery company and I’m doing real estate development. Opportunities continue to arise in the entertainment space and we’re not shutting any doors on anything.
