The Bachelor Recap: Did Sean Lowe Make The Right Decision?

by Melissa on March 12th, 2013

The most romantic Bachelor finale ever is finally here. Who does Sean Lowe love more – Catherine Giudici or Lindsay Yenter? Will he propose? Will the infamous letter change everything? Chris Harrison welcomes us to the three! hour! finale! and promises big surprises. I don't believe him.

First, Catherine and Lindsay meet Sean's family, and Sean hopes his family's input will give him some much needed clarity.

Catherine is a ball of nerves and fights the urge to put up her guards. Catherine admits to Sean's family that she went into the Bachelor feeling skeptical, adding, "I didn't know how much I would learn about myself or that I would have feelings like this. It's beyond comprehension."

The Bachelor Recap: The Women Tell All

by Melissa on March 5th, 2013

Welcome to the Bachelor's annual Women Tell All special.

As always, it's two hours of engaging video recaps, heartfelt bachelorette retells, and passionate audience reactions all centered around Sean Lowe. Errr, when I say engaging, heartfelt, and passionate, I really mean repetitive, catty, and obnoxious.

Eighteen of Sean's rejected bachelorettes – Diana Willardson, Ashley Palenkas, Brooke Burchette, Daniella McBride, Amanda Meyer, Jackie Parr, Kacie Boguskie, Leslie Hughes, Kristy Kaminski, Taryn Daniels, Katie Levans, Robyn Howard, Sarah Herron, Selma Alameri, Lesley Murphy, AshLee Frazier, Tierra LiCausi, and Desiree Hartsock - show up for the event.

Chris Harrison only allows a select few to speak. Thank goodness.

Is Bachelor Sean Lowe Already Planning A Televised Wedding Courtesy Of ABC?

by Lauren on February 28th, 2013

"Sean Lowe and one of his final two sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G, first comes a televised reality dating competition, then comes marriage, then comes…" Yeah, this isn't quite working out as I'd planned. I guess the nursery rhyme didn't take modern day ~~fame-whore-dom~~ romance into consideration when singing about baby carriages. Who makes out in a tree anyway?

Things are heating up as the Bachelor season draws to a close. Will Sean find true love? Will he propose? If so, will he be able to keep it in his pants until saying "I do"?

ABC is constantly out-doing itself by touting the "most dramatic" or the "most romantic" or the "most shocking" rose ceremonies/hometown dates/proposals in Bachelor franchise history. I would have appreciated the network's stance even more had it just been honest for once. If Chris Harrison told me it was going to be the "most vanilla" season in the franchise's history, I would have still tuned in every Monday. ABC needs to give its viewers more credit. We're creatures of habit. No matter how much we never again want to see anyone making out in a hot tub or handing out a rose, we'll still be there. Count on it.

The Bachelor Recap: Sean Lowe Breaks A Heart In Thailand

by Melissa on February 26th, 2013

Sean Lowe! Is that a long-tail boat you have there or are you just happy to see me? Sean sails into Thailand to forgo sexy times with his three remaining bachelorettes – Lindsay Yenter, AshLee Frazier, Catherine Guidici – in the Bachelor fantasy suite. They go to the suite, but instead of the normal sexy times, Sean and his ladies share closed mouth kisses and play M.A.S.H.

My M.A.S.H. game says Sean and Catherine will live in a house in Dallas with three kids. two dogs, and one hamster. Crossing my fingers!

Can you imagine spending only eight-ish "off camera" hours with someone before proposing marriage? I most certainly cannot, and leading into this week, Sean has some doubts as well. You see, he has feelings for all three women, and it's hard. Being. The. Bachelor. Is. Hard.

We share your pain, Sean. ~~Watching it hasn't always been enjoyable either.~~

Is Tierra LiCausi Refusing To Attend The Bachelor’s Women Tell All Taping?

by Mary on February 22nd, 2013

Tierra LiCausi has really gotten the loser edit on this season's Bachelor. And it is one we all know she definitely deserved. Even Sean Lowe embarrassingly admits he was completely duped and said she had no business being on the show in the first place!

Tierra has apparently moved on and recently announced her engagement. She's also possibly completely done with Bachelor Nation (until Bachelor Pad waves a potential $250,000 in her face!). The Women Tell All special is taping today and one person is still undecided if she'll appear or not – Tierra!

“She’s very upset with the way she came across on the show,” an insider shares with Wetpaint. “At this point, all she wants is for everyone to forget about her. She knows going to Women Tell All will just draw more attention to how crazy she acted and how nasty she came across.”

The Bachelor Recap: Hometown Dates

by Melissa on February 19th, 2013

Sean Lowe visits the hometowns of his final four possible future wives – AshLee Frazier, Catherine Giudici, Lindsay Yenter, and Desiree Hartsock – this week on the Bachelor.

The hometown dates are usually either really boring, when the families are completely willing to accept the Bachelor into their lives after only two hours, or really awkward, when one or two family members remain skeptical and/or actively sabotage. Sean's hometown dates are no exception.

"Family is so big for me," Sean says. "This is a great week for me to really get a good sense of where these women come from." Based on the intro, it appears as if AshLee comes from Baggageville, Catherine's sisters are Cinderella levels of jealous, Lindsay comes from The Happy Locker, and Desiree's brother (Holla!) is a Menace II Reality TV Love.

Selma Alameri Dishes About Her Bachelor Experience; Sean Lowe Blogs About Cutting Lesley Murphy And Tierra LiCausi

by Melissa on February 13th, 2013

Selma Alameri is/was one of my favorite bachelorettes on the Bachelor this season. Please. Don't confuse "favorite bachelorette" with "the one" for Sean Lowe. It is more about whom I find entertaining and likable and less about whom I think Sean should pretend to be in love with for three to six months.

Unfortunately, Sean kicked Selma to the curb after she refused to take part in the Polar Bear Plunge in Canada. Personally, I wouldn't have done it either, and I admire Selma for staying true to herself rather than selling out for a one in nine chance at a ~~bound-to-fail~~ relationship with Sean.

Sean tried to talk Selma into taking the plunge – saying things like you only live once and once in a lifetime opportunity – but she stood her ground. "I told him that if anybody was in danger, I would jump in and save them," Selma said. "But just to jump in for no reason, just to prove something to somebody, I said 'I don't feel like I should put my life at risk like that.' Once I have it in my head, 'no is no' – I won't be peer pressured."

The Bachelor Recap: Sean Lowe Chooses His Final Four And Hometown Dates

by Melissa on February 12th, 2013

While the wilderness races in Montana and the polar bear plunges in Canada were a ton of fun, Sean Lowe is looking forward to spending the next week in the beautiful St. Croix. Hopefully, a warmer climate means Tierra LiCausi might make it through one week without catching hypothermia or suffering a similar major medical drama. My luck… Tierra will get attacked by a shark… Sean will give her another pity rose.

Our Bachelor and his bachelorettes – Catherine Giudici, Lesley Murphy, AshLee Frazier, Desiree Hartsock, Lindsay Yenter, and Shark Bait – will enjoy three one-on-one dates (no roses) and one three-on-one date (one rose) in St. Croix.

Even in paradise Tierra complains within minutes. She isn't happy about the shared sleeping arrangements and rolls a cot into a sitting room, saying, "I'm not about to share some room with girls I don't care for. I'm not friends with girls who like my boyfriends. I think it's just better for me to have my own private space." Later, Lesley quips, "I want to roll away her rollaway into the freaking ocean." Amen.

Now Tierra is whining about how she hasn't had a one-on-one date with Sean even though he's "crazy" about her. News Flash: Sean is crazy about all of the girls! Tierra thinks she should be Sean's highest priority at this point; however, AshLee scores the first date. A bitter Tierra refers to AshLee as a cougar. AshLee is only 32 years old, mind you, and Tierra is obviously an immature 24-year-old bitch.
