I can see why some people think she's "wooden" - based in particular in some of her ITMs. But even then, if she lets herself show emotions, she own's whatever it is she's saying. Her job puts her in front of people all the time so she can't be all that shy and reserved. If she can do the interview circuit and let just a little bit of her emotions show she just might surprise us.

I agree, Lucas. I am actually a fan of hers but do see that she isn't the most comfortable with the cameras. It was most noticeable after the ILY's and she went to hide her face. I do think she is well spoken and articulate though and will do fine with the Q&A parts of post show.

I think when we saw her at the youth center in Indiana, we saw a little bit of her personality come out. Especially in the behind the scenes videos.   I don't know.....if I were on the show, I would be so concerned about not letting my parents down and not making a fool of myself, I would probably come across as reserved and boring too.

IIRC it was said (I think by Sean) that she did. Part of it was that she had moved from Seattle to LA and knew no one and had no job or activity to keep herself busy, and no friends she really knew. She got lonely sitting in a hotel room.

I also remember Sean saying something to the effect that one thing he had to learn - and did not know - about Catherine is that she needed to be told ILY / get re-affirmations of his love - more often than he realized, and given the long hours of practice perhaps left that need unmet.

IMO these issues are part of the negotiation process between a couple as they figure out how to love - and be loved - and not things you can figure out until after you can actually start a public life together. But I also think if you have love in the first place, it will get sorted out - DWTS or no DWTS. And if you don't have it then it's not going to work - DWTS or no DWTS.
JMHO

But I thought he said that he was going to focus on his relationship since he had put her through a lot.  What happened to that????
