Marriage Boot Camp - Season 4 - *Sleuthing Spoilers* - Discussion

stuckinsc wrote:I don't care if they want to grab all the money possible. Great for them and any and all future babies. The point some of us have made, is Sean's pompous, condescending, superior attitude toward these shows he does. He complained about CWS. On CWS, Cat told Jason he wasn't enough of a man, that he needed to go out and work and let Molly stay home with Riley. That was extremely insulting to Jason, to Molly who probably enjoys her work, and to any other woman who chooses to be a mommy and work. Jason and Molly didn't complain, but Sean and especially Cat acted as if they were shown completely unfairly. Cat can really dish it out but she didn't take it very well.

Now we have MBC. Sean admits they did it for the money. Great. So just shut up and cash your paycheck. But nope. After a few articles about their marriage and some negative feedback, a few days after it airs Sean just has to let us know, he would have quit. But the woman who called him out on the show for thinking he was better than everyone else is a Christian and so convinced him to stay. Again sanctimonious Sean needs to let us know how much better than everyone else he is. Sorry Sean, you did the show so you in fact are just as bad as everyone else who did the show. Stop making excuses. You sold your integrity for money. Just shut up, enjoy your wife's pregnancy and stop telling us how much better than everyone else you are.

And I do think it is fair to say that Sean who has shown us how he judges others and is sanctimonious will continue to be that way with who ever he interacts with in the future. And I am sure Cat will be a popular mommy in the group when she is looking down at the working mom's who leave their children and telling their husbands to be better men and support their families and let their wives stay home.

I am happy for them that they are having a baby, but it doesn't suddenly make them non judgemental hypocrites. JMO.

Happy for them they did it their way, but one day after a justification blog is odd.

I would agree with you Stuck,  if Sean hasn't been using his blog as his mouthpiece for years and started blog when MBC started. What Sean writes in his blog is what he feels and thinks and MBC currently is what happening in his life. He has been doing that for years from The Bachelor, BIP shows he uses that blog to post what are his feelings and it has been that way for a while now. I wouldn't think he wouldn't use it for a show like MBC where he is participating in it. What I don't wanna read from Sean is how editing did him wrong, if it came to it. Not gonna lie, after watching the first episode and finding about the pregnancy I am not as critical as much as I was before. First: The show MBC wasn't that bad, if they get that kind of editing throughout and let these other couples that have threesomes take screen time it won't affect them as much as I thought it would. Now, they are preparing to be parents, I kinda understand that they were thinking about their unborn baby future and thought that amount would help a great deal. Hopefully now that is enough reality shows from these two.

You are there exact target for making the baby announcement when things started to get a little dicey on MBC. And that is okay, we are all allowed our opinions. I do find needing to tell everyone that he stayed because the counselor is Christian, etc to be the same as complaining about the edit. I would have held my values, but they won't show you that I did. Just an indirect complaint about editing. JMO. While I think KB_Mom is most likely right, that breach of contract lawsuit would have sucked.

And I will finish with if they had more steady, less risky jobs (doesn't have to be 9 to 5), than freelance every now and again graphic artist and real estate investor who is already down $220,000 on his last flip from their asking price and still not sold may be they would not need to go on shows that offend Sean's Christian values just for the money. But when your investment was lowered in price the amount you got paid for the show then you sometimes have to suck it up.

I am in a job I don't love but I will settle into because I could make a lot more than the job I love. So I get it, but I am also not posting on Facebook and the Internet how less than thrilled I am. I made a choice, so I have to suck it up and make the best of it.

I am still waiting for Sean to own his life choices without all the excuses. JMO.

I assumed they weren't blowing their TV money and were going to use it for their future anyway. The other contestants have kids and families and college tuitions too. Sean and Catherine's reasons for doing it (or plans for the $) aren't any more noble than everyone else's.

Guys get much more sentimental towards their spouse when they are expecting. They gush over them, as JP did/does and Sean has as well since the announcement.

IMO a child can make you more aware of what's really important in life and the things that you thought were important, no longer matter.

It can also go the other way.  You need a relatively strong marriage before you bring children into the mix, imo.  Even though children are a tremendous blessing, the stress level goes up about 100 notches.

One would think that they will retire from these shows now and that's a good thing IMO. Time to hang it up.

Speaking from experience, don't I know it! My only point is I don't think Sean and Catherine "waited" to share the news just to take the focus away from MBC. Whether they were on the show or not, IMO most people will wait until the first trimester and that's what they did.
