The Bachelor, Ep. 17.2

One-on-One Date: Sarah
Helicopter ride to the top of a skyscraper, and then a free-fall down the building. Gee, that's original. I think this has been a date on like every single season of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. Also original "As long as he's beside me, I can do it" and "let's take this plunge together." Come on guys...you can do better than this!

I think they seem to have a pretty good chemistry together. They seem really comfortable.She really opened up to him, which is pretty good for a first date. It went well, and she received a rose. Not only that, but first one-on-one date, but first serious kiss.

Group Date: Kristie, Amanda, Brooke, Lesley M., Daniella, Catherine, Robyn, Katie, Selma, Diana, Taryn, Kacie, Tierra
13 girls, so you know it's going to be a LOT of DRAMA! The date is a photo shoot for the cover of a romance novel. Massive amounts of jealousy, in 3...2...1...

It doesn't take Tierra long to start annoying just about everyone, but it's Lesley M. to get the first "kiss" during the photo shoot. Tierra's eyeballs looked like in the cartoons when they come popping out...aooooga aooooga!

Lesley M. seemed to really make an impression on Sean. She wanted him to make a move, he wanted to make a move. But, she blew it! She got nervous and just started talking about really random things. "Apparently my body language sucked." Yeah, leaning away from him might do that. But, at the end, he did say that it made him like her even more. So, it's not a complete loss. Oh wait...she's going back in! And, NOW she got the kiss. Not near as romantic as it would have been in the moment, but oh well.

Sean's pretty skeptical about Kacie. They knew each other before her coming here and he thought she saw him as only a friend. It does seem like he's willing to give it a shot though.

We get our first look at Catherine tonight. She says she's a vegan, but loves the beef. Get it? Yeah....lame. She seems to be kind of fake. I don't quite know what to make of her just yet.

Selma seems pretty ditzy on this date, what's her deal?

Tierra is this season's classic "two-face". With the girls, she's catty, jealous and cut throat. With Sean, she's bubbly, cute and sweet. She is totally a crazy "Courtney". And she even looks like her too! I can hear Ben (and Arie, who recently dated Courtney), yelling at the TV right now: "Watch out Sean!!!"

Katie. All I can say about her is: what is up with the hair? You are not a cave woman! I can sympathize with her because my hair looks exactly like that when I don't do anything with it. That's why my straightener is my best friend. Get that girl a comb! Clearly her "head" is not in the game and her hair is also suffering. She is not adjusting well and tells Sean that she's ready to go home. With hair like that, he really didn't even try to stop her. And just like the tornado that destroyed her hair, she flew right out of their in the next limo.

And the date rose goes to: Kacie. That was kind of a shocker...didn't really expect that.

One-on-One: Desiree
Classic prankster Sean, decides to have some fun with Desiree to see how she reacts. They are visiting a gallery with some very expensive displays. Something is going to break and she (and some actors) will think that she did it. The funny thing is that Sean is going to be watching the whole thing. Sean was thinking how sweet she was and then he started second guessing himself about what he was about to do to her. But she handled herself so well! Calm, cool and collected. I would have probably freaked out. I like her, she seems pretty cool. It was obvious after their pretty deep conversation about love and marriage that they were clicking. So it was no surprise when he offered her the rose. She decided to have a little payback for the practical joke, and she really kept him hanging before accepting it.

Cocktail Party
Lindsay aka "wedding dress girl" didn't have a date this week, but she seemed to redeem herself in her one-on-one time.

Amanda, holy crap! She is a MESS!!! She is wearing the ugliest yellow dress she could find off of the reject rack, and like Katie, did NOT do her hair. And that necklace, ugh! She looks like a complete sour puss! She sat there on the couch by herself and stared off into the abyss and just ignored everyone. But, just like Tierra, she is completely different as soon as she's talking to him. 

Robyn throws out the race card and asks Sean point blank what he thought about dating black girls. Brave girl. Sean had the perfect answers, of course.
