Sean & Catherine Lowe - Bachelor 17 - Discussion #2

I think CH just decided he wants a vacation this summer and Sean was available (obviously). The after show is boring enough already without it being hosted by random people, so Sean was put there to represent the franchise. JMO.

Here's to hoping they just cancel After Paradise next year. Maybe just one after the finale like after the final rose.

I just feel like this is so debatable. Before Sean, everyone counted Jason. When ATFR2 ended, Jason was with Molly. She was the last girl standing ON AIR. I think they count. Or he should count as the first Bachelor to marry his pick. He was "engaged" to Melissa for 2 hot seconds, then he immediately went back to and dated/married/had a child with a girl who also made it to the bitter end on final rose ceremony day.

Trista was legitimately the first Bachelorette to marry, and the first lead. Sean's no trailblazer here. He just got insanely lucky.

Be happy baby and wife are healthy and doing well. Hopefully they have good insurance.

One of the nice things about a regular job; availability of health insurance!!
Maybe they skimped on their plan if there is no company contribution.

Sean just has a habit of bringing up weird stuff that probably shouldn't be said out loud on Twitter. Reminds me of the blog post about the lien on his house. Is he bored? Trolling for retweets and LOLs? I don't get it.

^^ I admit sometimes I chuckle at his tweets. He can be funny. Sometimes it's obvious how hard he is trying though. My guess is its a form of attention seeking.

He was on fire during JoJo's finale last week, I was actually laughing. Sometimes I wonder if Cat helps him write the better ones . On camera though he comes off as dry and rigid for me.

I did not watch Paradise but did turn it on for the after show because I read that Sean was co-hosting! I am a big Olympics fan so a big deal for me to watch that instead. He was not on much, but I like Sean and Catherine and watched just because of him. His humor is odd, but on the other hand, he is not creepy and sleazy... So yeah, he was the redeeming factor on that show for me.

He may at heart be a nice person. I always found him corny, dopey, lazy and insufferable. JMO

Has anyone else noticed how he always shouts instead of talking in a normal voice? I guess that goes along with his total lack of subtlety in all areas.

He's the definition of a caricature Texas, meat eating, little lady minding, former football player imo. Does he own a gun? That's the next step.

I do find him a bit creepy.

Sean was annoying on Emily's season so of course, I could not watch a full season of him as the lead. Catherine is just as annoying. They deserve each other.
