The Bachelor: Sean Lowe "Week 2"

      So I'll be honest last week I was very unimpressed with this season's bachelorettes and that's putting it nicely. They didn't seem very attractive, smart, or successful and then add alcohol and it was one hot mess. Of course, that is actually one of this things that makes this show so entertaining. But you still need someone to root for and last week nobody stood out to me. At first I too was deceived by Tierra and thought she seemed sweet, but after watching previews for the rest of the season she is clearly Courtney 2.0. Poor Sean, hopefully he figures it out sooner than Ben did.
 
  This week was SO MUCH better, I don't know if it was just weeding out some of the girls that made the difference or if I was being extra critical last week but either way I was more impressed this week. I actually have a few girls I like so far, and possibly a favorite which I will reveal later...

So, here's how the dates went down:
1 on 1:  "Sarah, are you ready to fall in love today? -Sean"
      Sean picked Sarah up in a helicopter and the landed on top of a skyscraper. He then surprised her by telling her that they were going to free fall from the top of the building. And he of course really helped to keep her calm. And it proved if they can handle anything together, you know the usual bachelor stuff. Afterwards they shared a romantic dinner and Sarah shared a story about a time when she was discriminated against for only having one arm. At that time her dad told her at that time that she needed to find a guy that is strong and can help her through tough situations, just like Sean did for her on the date. At the end of the night Sarah received a rose and the two of them shared a romantic kiss.

Favorite Quote: 
Sarah: "I want so much more spontaneity and like adventure and its that I just want to find someone that has similar interests and wants to explore with me."
Sean: "Yeah someone a little more adventurous, ok."

Group date: "Kristy, Amanda, Brooke, Leslie M., Daniella, Catherine, Katie, Selma, Diane, Teryn and Tierra lets capture the romance. -Sean."
      The girls and Sean did a photo shoot for Harlequin romance novel covers and the deal  was whoever had the most chemistry in their photo with Sean would be chosen to be on the over of three novels. Lesley and Sean got a little steamy in their shoot and shared a kiss, but big surprise Kristy and Sean had the sexiest moment and won the contest. The group then hung out around the pool and took turns getting a little one on one time with Sean. Lesley and Sean were really sweet together but it was clear she was nervous and started talking every time he got close to kissing her, which made things pretty awkward. She realized she missed her moment and she stole him back later and got a kiss, which too was a little awkward. Katie decided that The Bachelor wasn't for her and left during the date. Hopefully she will end up finding love...and a hair straightener.  Kacie B. got the rose on this date for having the courage to give The Bachelor a second try.

Favorite Quotes:
Tierra: "I'm going on a group date with 12 other girls, and it sucks because I'm not here to meet friends, I'm here to meet Sean." (very original)
Sean to Tierra: "All you guys are so sweet, you know? You may have a dark side, you may have a catty side. You're sweet, I don't believe you have that catty side in you."

1on 1: "Desiree love is priceless. -Sean"
      Sean took Desiree to the "Bachelor Art Exhibit" and played a prank on her where a piece of art supposedly valued at over a million dollars would break and she would think it's her fault. Well she was not anywhere near the art piece when it fell over so I don't know how good of a prank it was, but she was a good sport. Afterwards Sean took her back to his place for dinner and a dip in the pool/make out session. And she she did accept the rose. They are really comfortable and cute together. It seems that they have common values and backgrounds and I am rooting for them. Desiree is my favorite! (I also kinda  like Kacie B., Lesley and Sarah.)

      At the rose ceremony Sean had some time to talk with Lindsay who I actually ended up liking, which is surprising after her drunken wedding dress fiasco last week. And Amanda (who I thought I might like) sucked the life out of the party. I don't know what is wrong with her but she was angry and silent and weird until Sean came in and she lit up... bipolar? I don't know. Strange. Robyn asked Sean his opinion on dating women of different races and pointed out that this season was a little more diverse than usual, which I noticed as well. Sean said he doesn't have a type and that race doesn't matter to him, phew! At the end of the night Diana and Brooke were sent home.

      Next week looks like it is going to be drama filled with Tierra falling, or possibly being pushed down the stairs! Can't wait to see what goes down!
