Sean wows the girls with his personal jet plane, trailers, jewelry shopping skills and alfa romeo. Leslie apparently is fooled.

[over30patheticgroupie]

I know. Get a grip Leslie, it's not like Sean paid for the earrings, necklace, shoes, and dress.

I think Sean is a sadist between his practical jokes and putting the women through tough physical stuff.

Buh bye "two face" (trademark George Costanza)...

[Kerri Johnson]

There's something about Selma's face that's very plastic. Her forehead doesn't move. Just like AshLee, she's way too young to have had work done.

Leslie H's weeping was pathetic. I'm wondering what she would've done if she didn't get a date this week. The producers missed a potential breakdown. The Badgley Mischka dresses were terrible, I would have never guessed they were designer. The Neil Lane necklace was stunning. Leslie comparing herself to Julia Roberts was spot on. Both have mouths that could feed several countries. Leslie's constant giggling and open mouth would've driven me nuts. I felt bad when she said she had never received jewelry at 30 years old.

I would also like to thank the producers for that lingering ass shot of Sean in his boxers. They know his good looks are his strength.

Tierra must have studied Courtney, she pulled the exact same move with Ben. Courtney didn't throw a hissy fit and cry, though. She had a conversation with Ben and was much smoother. I wanted to slap that little shit eating smirk off of Tierra. She played Sean good. I heard her say she's not here for "high school pity stuff". You mean petty, hun.

I liked AshLee comforting Sarah but Sarah shouldn't have been on that group date or the show to begin with.

Glad creepy Amanda is gone.

Excited for next week. Tierra brings the drama again. She looked like a tubby whale in her bikini.

[torreador]

I hate how Sean continues to call the women "girls".

I'm glad they are slipping in certain comments like Sean saying "I prayed on it". If religion is so meaningful in his life, it should be out in the open.

I really like AshLee. If only she could spell.

I was surprised when Sean was anxious that Catherine might have him in the Friends-Zone. We haven't seen much of her, but obviously somethings been going on there.

And finally, why on earth did they get date ideas from Rock of Love. It wasn't a good idea then and it isn't a good idea now. Except it was Amanda that crashed, so if it had to be anyone.... only Tierra would have deserved it more.

eta: Was it only me or did Sean look like a head waiter in his tux?

Why doesn't one of the producers tell Daniella to quit twisting her mouth constantly?
I was hoping she would go home so I didn't have to watch it anymore.

Roller Derby -- worst date idea, ever.

[Macthekat]

I am so over the 'getting over my fear of (fill in the blank)' activities and the increase the odds of injury-types like roller derby. I don't care to see any of that. It's like TB is using those activities to help weed out the weaker ones, but I'd like to see some of them speak up and just refuse to participate.

Tierra and Amanda are some pieces of work, glad Amanda is gone. Karma bit her over the lying about saying she'd skated roller derby before...haha.

The closing clip of Sean having trouble, repeatedly, trying to drive the Jeep was too funny.

[fionab]

I kinda love Selma - she seemed pretty badass racing up that crevasse. And I think her 'play hard to kiss' strategy will work very well on TV.

For whoever noticed Sarah's braid, she had another one this week. I'm fairly certain that she's using something like the Barbie automatic braider I had when I was 9. Like this one:

Awesome.

[over30patheticgroupie]

So let me get this straight, Selma can have her chest hanging out on national television but she cannot kiss?

[welsch515]

I noticed from the very first episode that Amanda was a "two-face," and I went back and forth, finding her attractive, then unattractive. But the first time I saw her tonight, in the limo with other women on their way to the group date, I didn't recognize her. She looked completely new to me. She's a three-face!

I hate how Sean continues to call the women "girls".

As a man, I would normally be embarassed to see another man call women "girls," but half the women on this show have also referred to each other as "girls."

Buh bye "two face" (trademark George Costanza)...

During the whole rose ceremony Mr. Fang kept saying, "Who is that girl? We've never seen her before. Of course she has to go.... nobody knows who she is." He couldn't believe it when Amanda flashed up on the screen.

[awaken]

Amanda had such a bizarre affect. So up and down, fakely happy, sad, elated, bored, and her face did look different in every scene.

Making Selma go to the desert and rock climb, and making Sarah roller skate annoyed me- it's not Sean's role to make these women face difficult things that they fear or seriously dislike, to encourage a sense of accomplishment. Making someone do something they hate on a first date just to see their reaction just seems cruel and I'd be pissed.

Felt bad for lesley. Sweet girl. I wonder if she got to keep the dress, shoes, and purse as well. Nice parting gift!

No airtime for early favorites Des, and Leslie M. No airtime again for invisibles Daniella and Jackie.

I hope Catherine catches up to the other women in terms of relationship with Sean. I'd like to see more of them together!

Every time I see Lindsay, I don't recognize her, and it takes a minute to realize who she is again. I don't know why she is so un-memorable for me.

Robyn is just "there" for me. Great girl but doesn't stand out in terms of a "connection" with Sean.

Mark my words: my prediction is that AshLee will go far, she will get a hometown date, even be in the top 2, but will ultimately get her heart broken.

Predicting AshLee, Des, Leslie M., and maybe a surprise Catherine for final 4. Hopefully somewhere along the way, Tierra will just throw a fit and stomp out of there, never to be seen again.

[over30patheticgroupie]

Do you like chocolate, do you like chocolate, do you like chocolate, do you..... that joke fell flat.

[kelbel]

You know, just once I'd like to watch a season of the bachelor that doesn't have a designated villain of the house getting the rest of the women all worked up. It's really tiring. If I hear "she's manipulative", "she's not here for the right reasons", "I'm not here to make friends" one more time...

If Leslie had spent less time gushing about her earrings and more time focusing on Sean, maybe she would've made a better connection with him.

So let me get this straight, Selma can have her chest hanging out on national television but she cannot kiss?

I saw that. I'm a bit confused as to how posing half-naked in a photo shoot is acceptable to her but not kissing.

Edited by kelbel, Jan 28, 2013 @ 10:55 PM.

[awaken]

Also, I am pretty sure Tierra said "fustrating" which is one of my pet peeves.

I was wondering the same thing about Selma. I can understand wanting to respect one's upbringing, and feeling that it's not appropriate to kiss a relative stranger on TV, but how about the body-hugging, cleavage-showing tank top? How is that any more acceptable to a strict family?

[PlutosMom]

I feel like this is the most awkward group of girls on a single season of the bachelor.

That date with Leslie was almost painful to watch. You could tell he wasn't feeling it from the start. And I thought that "ensemble" she was wearing was horrendous. I swear I saw silver shoes and gold clutch. And that necklace was way too much with the bling on the neckline of the dress.

And the kissing is just cringe-worthy. First with Robin and then with Catherine. Actually, it's not just the kissing that is cringe-worthy...it's anytime there is one-on-one interaction.

[PetuniaP]

Daniela = Bridget Wilson Sampras. I thought she was a goner for sure...pleasantly surprised to see Sean send crazy Amanda home.

Excited for next week. Tierra brings the drama again. She looked like a tubby whale in her bikini.

Tierra is thicker than many of the other women but I do not find her tubby at all. But then again, I find too thin to be grossly unattractive in a woman, give me roundness and curves any day of the week. She is, however, a gigantic bitch. I couldn't tell if she was manipulating Sean or if he was manipulating her during her crying fit during the group date. He was giving her that look that I've seen men give women when they want something...and it worked. Tierra calmed down enough to want to stay. But I don't see her ending up with him ala Courtney.

Selma has an interesting strategy with the "no kissing" rule. That could be intriguing to a guy or just get tiresome. I don't get that her connection with Sean is strong enough to survive no kissing, especially when he is making out with many other women that he is feeling attraction to. And I will say...Selma scaled that mountain like a monkey, if that's unathletic, what the hell could she do with some training?!

[Maddingcrowd]

If Selma has a strict and religious family, what on earth is she doing with Sean who is obviously not in her religion? I also never blame the bachelor or b'ettes for any of dates: they don't pick any of them. The shows producers plan out every bit of every date but the bachelors are obligated to say they picked it out.

Glad two face is gone-she really seemed cray-cray to me and looked terrible at the rose ceremony. Still never remember Daniela and the other girl (is it Jackie?). Tierra is horrible and looks too old for Sean, wish he would have sent her packing when she had her out of the blue crying jag on the date.

Think Des and Catherine are both beautiful and for some reason I forget about Lindsey every week until the rose ceremony. Still think Sean is cute and seems way nicer than many of the other bachelors. I don't care if he calls them girls-wait till people start calling you ma'am and you will wish for the 'girls' days.

[bellblue]

Loved it when Catherine renamed Tierra, "Tierra-ible."

[TomGirl]

I like Selma and think she is gorgeous, but I'd be surprised if Sean were able to get past their very different backgrounds. I also think Des and Catherine are lovely. What nationality is Catherine? She reminds me of Tessa Horst, one of my all-time favorites.

[superpole2000]

By the fifth minute of the "I wish I could kiss you!" "I wish I could kiss you too!" scene I was ready to barf. First of all, if kissing is that big a step for Selma, what is she doing laying on top of Sean? And secondly, why is she on this show if she cares so much about what her family thinks?

[backformore]

The date with Selma - She was obviously told to dress for some sort of physical exertion. They have sean saying 'I just know she is expeting that we're going somewhere glamorous, boy is she going to be surprised." Yeah - she shows up in sneakers and work out clothes, and she's expecting a glamorous date.

And I really don't understand why they always have to have some sort of climbing, rappelling, bungee-jump kind of date. What does it prove? Is a woman who is sincerely afraid of heights somehow unworthy of male attention? I'm a klutz, I couldn't roller skate if my ife depended on it. I guess I'm not marriage material. My husband will be shocked.

[Joymarie]

I hate how Sean continues to call the women "girls".

Me too!

I agree; it's ridiculous. It's like they're hoping to have someone carted away in an ambulance each week. It's annoying.

Still never remember Daniela and the other girl (is it Jackie?). . .I forget about Lindsey every week until the rose ceremony.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. At the rose ceremony I was stunned there was a Daniela, Lindsey and Jackie until their names were called. And from the beginning of the cocktail party I was wondering who the woman with the sequin dress and the bizarre lipstick was and it wasn't until the very end I realized it was Amanda.

It seems like they're too cheap for the world travel this season. With the terrible dates and the contestants I can't keep straight, I feel like I should just tune out for a few weeks and then pick up when there are five or six women left.

[Miss Kubelik]

Daniela = Bridget Wilson Sampras. I thought she was a goner for sure...pleasantly surprised to see Sean send crazy Amanda home.

Thank you! Doppelgangers! I said this to someone last week but they had no idea who BWS was. Their similarity is actually distracting to me.

I am so sick of these Pretty Woman dates (this must have been the third or fourth in recent history). The movie is cute and I have nothing against it (I'm disappointed we didn't get to see Lesley say, "Big mistake. Huge." because she must have. Who could resist?) but that this show and some contestants insist on Pretty Woman as a fantasy date is kind of gross. Sex workers and the millionaire johns who fall in love with them! Please, Show, give it a rest.

I will miss Amanda though. The little weirdo amused me greatly.

[hnygrl808]

Let's face it folks, Sean is not the brightest crayon in the box.

So...well played Selma, well played.

I just hope she didn't over-play the "I'm a virgin" thing.

Cause that's what that "I can't kiss you" garbage was all about. Sean is a Christian, so having a girl actually say no to intimacy is heady stuff for the blonde one...Good thing he's pretty...Kinda explains Tierra still being around too doesn't it?

If you don't take this show seriously? It's funny as hell.

[Scoutlet]

I was annoyed that they made Selma climb that rock. I know they sign up for this but honestly, it is cruel to make a woman face her fears on TV like that. I like a good hike as much as the next person but scaling up a sheer vertical cliff would spook me. That said, she conquered her fears really well and her cursing amused the fuck out of me. I actually liked their date But I don't see it going anywhere. Muslim girl and Texas Christian Blonde Boy? I live in Texas. Yes, there are a lot of Muslims here, but I don't see it happening.

Des and Catherine are both really, really pretty women. Not in a "Pretty Woman" way.

Sean seems decent enough but he can't really bring the drama and he isn't quite real enough to make me embarrassed for him. So it's not as much fun as it should be.

[Kali12]

I also think Des and Catherine are lovely. What nationality is Catherine? She reminds me of Tessa Horst, one of my all-time favorites.

DId I read she's Filipino and Italian? I keep thinking "Hawaiian" when I see her--itseems like she's bringing a tropical island vibe--cool, relaxed, gorgeous. She reminds me of Tessa too--and Tessa, Ashley, Jillian and..the first B-ette whose name I can't remember are the ones I've liked most. She seems like she'd get along well in that group--but might be too bright for Sean. (I like him pretty well so far, but wonder about all the embarrassing situations he seems to enjoy).

Robyn also stands out to me, but I don't see any chemistry between her and Sean at all.

Amanda looks so pretty sometimes, but she looked like an ugly psycho at the RC. So glad she's gone.

[Palomar]

I am so sick of these Pretty Woman dates (this must have been the third or fourth in recent history).

I've never understood the fascination about this movie with young girls. It's about a frickin' prostitute who gets gifts from a man paying for her. Surely there are more original ways to have a romantic date. The budget must have taken a huge hit. It's either this or some kind of ultimate sports challenge. This is L.A. There IS stuff to do here.

[GlamSnooky]

Hated the roller derby date. I got the strong impression that the evil producers DID plan to have them actually bashing into each other, until Amanda took that hard fall, and they realized it might end with more than one of the "girls" in the hospital. Really stupid date idea, show.

Selma can rock the rock-climbing, I was impressed! I would love to try it, but I know I'd get wedged in somewhere and unable to figure out a way out--or up or down.

[violetr]

If The Courtney Effect is the new standard Tierra has this in the bag.
