Sean & Catherine Lowe - Bachelor 17 - Discussion #2

StacyNor wrote:It would be all good but I feel that things that other COUPLES do they get unfair criticism when IMO they are the most subtle compared to everyone.

Catherine business is a legit business, how can anyone mock that? She has employees and people that depend on her for paycheck. It may not be glamorous to some but it is a legit business.

Sean is in real estate, that is a legit job. What is expected?

Investing is a real risk taker, Sean is not supposed to live his life because he messed up?. He will be the first one say, yeah, things didn't go out as plans. Which is what happens in investing at times. He owes them nothing, they took a risk and lost.

I just find selling pics to magazines just distasteful more than any shilling that any of these people can do. Those are the first pics seen by the public, you have it on a magazine that is published, read by millions and you sold them to a magazine. First pics and you sold your kids faces to make some money. It makes it less more sincere because it is not sincere at all. My fave JLO did that with her twins, I found it distasteful then, I find it distasteful now.


Everything is in IMO.

In more important news, RIP to their sweet Lola girl. They had to put her down yesterday after a genetic disease stole her ability to walk and stand. I think everyone can agree how much they loved and cared for their dogs.

Not mocking, just stating fact that it is maybe her third or fourth business in as many years? They must not be very successful businesses if she keeps jumping from venture to venture. It's her/their life, so if it works for them - great. Not something I would do or find remotely appealing.

I do recall a write-up about Sean and Cat's baby in People or similar, and I really doubt it was for free. Is it the fact that it is the first picture? I see no difference in selling your baby shower pictures, baby pictures, endorsements of useless products, etc. They all do it, they are all motivated by $. IMO

Their shilling is subtle?  Did you see the detox tea video? There was nothing subtle about that, IMO.  awkward, oh yes very.  Maybe a tad bit humorous, but more cringeworthy an anything, IMO.

And I used to really like them as individuals and a couple.  Before all they became the Royal couple with the superior attitude, IMO, the shilling caused me to unfollow them on SM, they sold out, IMO, to be on MBC and Wifeswap (and cried foul all edit ) and Catherine totally toned down all the unique, quirky edges to fit into Sean's world, again all IMO.  I don't dislike them, they just are not my cup of tea these day.  Though they did make a really cute kid together.     JMOAA

I don't think Sean or Catherine are special snowflakes that deserve all sorts of accolades for "winning" at being married, parenting, life, whatever over any of the others. That's just dumb. They do life their way, others a different way. It's not a contest. No one wins in the end.

I especially don't give them any medals for any winning at life when one partner needs to contort herself in all sorts of cirque du soleil moves to become the submissive little lady for her strong leader husband. Seems pretty easy to make things work when it's all 100% one dude's way. IMO.
