The Bachelor, Ep. 17.9

Overnight Dates-Thailand

Lindsay

Date in the market. Painted baby chicks? Animal cruelty...romantic? How about some exotic grasshoppers and chicken feet? Yikes!

Side note: Sean's skin tone matches his pinkish-orange shirt...ha!

On the beach they are attacked by little monkeys! How cute were they? Oh my!

Dinner date discussion: he asks if she would move to Dallas if they got engaged and she said "yes". She kept waiting for the right time to tell him that she loves him. And, she's just about to get up the nerve to say it, and they get interrupted by some locals surrounding them with music and dancing.

The Fantasy Suite Card: Yes

Sean says that she could be his best friend...and then she says she wants to tell him something, and then awkward silence...and then more awkward silence, and THEN she finally said it: "I love you." Better late than never, just ask Lesley.

AshLee

How much do you want to bet, AshLee will declare something with both arms in the air at some point during their date? Another bet...she will mention something about being abandoned.

They take a boat ride to an underwater cave. AshLee is terrified: "I don't do caves.". Oh...she referred to being abandoned 3 times before they even got in the water! It was pretty scary and "rocky" but Sean led her to safety. They reach the beach on the other side, and guess what...arms in the air! OK, so she didn't declare anything, she was going sort of for a hug, but I'm still holding out hope that it's coming at some time during their dinner.

Deja vu....she says she doesn't take this lightly...Lindsay literally said the same thing.

The Fantasy Suite Card: Yes...but, leading up to the card she said she really wanted to think about whether or not she wanted to say "yes" to the card. He put her mind at ease when he said that he wanted to spend the night talking just the 2 of them.

And then it got really serious...she explains in great detail exactly what kind of engagement ring she wants and what size she is. Red flag? Might just be a tad too soon to be talking about that in such great detail when there are 2 other girls still in the picture.

Catherine

Their date included a boat ride, and what appeared to be them remaking the Titanic scene with Jack and Rose at the front of the boat.

Sean: "I love your weirdness." Aw...

Catherine admitted to Sean that she was not very happy about everything that her sisters said to her on their hometown visit.

Lots of swimming and kissing in the rain...

During dinner, Sean asks where she sees herself in 5 years, she said they would be married. She says that she's very traditional about marriage and she, like AshLee gave a lot of thought to the Fantasy Suite.

The Fantasy Suite Card: Yes

She talks about being insecure and that she was often made fun of when she was little. She didn't think that someone as "beefy" as Sean would ever be with someone like her. Sean: "You are smokin' hot...I'm the lucky one." Aw...what every girl wants to hear.

Chat w/ Chris

Sean says he knows who he's sending home. He never thought he would be sending this girl home and he hates having to do it.

Time to stare at the girl's photos...and then some videos from the girls. Now he says he has "an idea" of who is going to send home. AshLee's video was kind of hard to watch because she kept crying. It seems like they should have edited that out for her. It hit Sean pretty hard and he got a little emotional while watching it.

Rose Ceremony

Whoa, there's a first! Sean reaches for the first rose and Lindsay says under her breath "Oh Sh.." and gets bleeped! Really? He ends up calling her first. And then, could he have possibly stood there holding the last rose any longer before finally calling Catherine's name?

Receive Roses: Lindsay, Catherine
Going Home: AshLee

AshLee looked pissed when he didn't call her name! Most people are upset and emotional, but she gave him the look of death and bolted out of there! He had to call out to her and stop her so he could explain himself. She didn't say one word, she just glared into his eyes. I don't think she blinked once! That is not the reaction I expected to get from her at all. I figured she would be an emotional wreck. Once in the limo, she finally broke down. Then she awkwardly tried to turn away from the camera as they continued to zoom in on the back of her head. That was just strange.
