Howdy, Gasmii! This was definitely one of the more interesting episodes of this season. However, it doesn’t say much when it’s the most interesting episodes of what is probably the most boring season of “The Bachelor.”

*Yawn.*

It’s time for the hometown dates! AshLee, Lindsay, Catherine, and Desiree will be taking Sean to meet their families. There is some minor drama with Catherine’s and Desiree’s families, but it’s all pretty tame. All of the drama that the previews alluded to ended up either being a prank or a trick of editing. Hopefully “Sean Tells All” tomorrow night will at least be entertaining. I’m sorry this is short. There really wasn’t much of anything exciting that happened on this episode. I will ask you all to be patient for the full recap as I’ll include the “Sean Tells All” special in it and three hours of show will take longer to recap.

For now, feel free to check out last week’s recap when we at least still had Tierra to make fun of.

    AshLee seems sweet but damn, she is just a delusional cliche machine when it all boils down. She is just ridiculously OTT. If Sean doesn’t pick her I fear for her mental health. Actually, I kind of fear for it now.

    I think it’s interesting that Sean is absolutely crazy about a girl, thinks she may be THE ONE, but if he meets the tiniest bit of questioning or ‘wait and see’ or resistance from anyone who is related to her he goes into a tailspin and wants to drop her like a rock. If I brought home a guy who crumbled that fast in the face of anything less than full enthusiastic embraces by every member of my family I would drop HIM and consider myself to have dodged a bullet. He’s such an asshole. I didn’t like Desiree’s brother at all, but honestly I think he saw the snake inside Sean and called him on it. He was rude and inappropriate, but I think his asshole detector was working just fine. Sean only likes the girls when they are easy and accommodating and there is no inconvenience to him. He’s very rigid. I also think it’s interesting that his idea of not being ready to settle down (Catherine) means she still has goals she wants to pursue. I guess if you marry Sean you are supposed to completely subsume your existence and dreams to his and give up anything else you wanted out of life. Usually ‘not read to settle down’ means still wants to party, date, etc. not simply wants to pursue career goals and education.

    He should totally pick AshLee. She’s completely ready to merge her personality into and underneath Sean’s. He can’t handle a girl who needs to have her own dreams and life too.

    @PopePhilly Thank you so much for telling me about Burning Love! I got 1 episode just to look at it and got so hooked in 2 min I had to sit down and have a marathon. It totally kicks The Bachelor’s ass and hands it back sliced up for sandwiches!

    I can’t wait for your recap of this most dramatic and emotional rose ceremony in Bachelor history though.

    Just please don’t make this week’s DRINK word be clarity or we’ll all end up in the hospital alcohol poisoned.

    Restasis needs to be a sponsor as there is a amazing lack of tear production on this show. Again last nite alot of noise and a few sniffles and eye dabs but not a tear to be found?

    Agree that Sean needs a compliant woman and thus Ash & Lindz fit the bill nicely. Wow did Lindsay come across immature last nite – even for her.

    I might have missed it but did Sean ask for AshLee’s hand from her dad?

    @Andyourlittledogtoo: I had to do a double take when Sean thought Catherine “wasn’t ready to settle down” because she has lofty career goals and is independent. What century is this man living in? Is it really that crazy for a woman to dump a man who doesn’t support her when she pursues her goals? It really makes me sad that Sean is looking for a woman who will be nothing more than a wife and mother once she is with him. I also had to do a double take when he referred to Lindsay’s father (the general) as someone who “makes men.” I’m sure there are a lot of service WOMEN out there that could knock Sean down a peg or two. He always seemed like a good guy on this show, but some of the things he said last night made me realize he may just be an ass.

    @kthxbai: And season 2 of “Burning Love” starts next week (I think). If we added “clarity” into the mix, we’d all be dead by the end of the show. I think he said “best friend” a record number of times as well.

    @considerthis: I don’t think Sean directly asked AshLee’s father “for her hand,” but I’m pretty sure that her father just offered “hi blessing.”

    PP, I beg to disagree, as I don’t think this season has been nearly as awful as many of the others. I couldn’t stand most of the bachelors, and even though Sean is a little goody-goody, I think he’s the best one yet. None of them have been guys I’d be interested in . . . .

    I can’t believe how much I hate Dez’s brother, I just can’t stand him and wish I could beat him up. Sean blew it, IMHO! She was the one with the best combination. Catherine is great too, Ash is nice but too serious, and Linz is cute and fun but to lacking in seriousness . . . is it me?

    Being gay, my meetings with family are fraught with drama, of so many varieties. My SigOth’s family is the people I have to get along with or tolerate a few times a year. Yes, it’s great when we all do get along, but if we don’t, I just suck it up. Sean should have said something. His bottling up how he felt, instead of having a conversation, along the lines of, \um . . . you’re way out of line, this isn’t appropriate, you don’t know me or your sister and I wont accept being insulted this way, why don’t you leave now . . . \ IF he can’t communicate, he’s doomed anyway . . .

    This season I’m so struck with how much dread I feel for these girls, I’ve never liked so many of them and I feel so sorry for them. Ever since the Sarah dis, it’s just been a wash of dread . . .

    Anyway, Catherine’s evil and petty sister’s weren’t much better . . . they must be jealous! I will never forget what a good sport Catherine was on that blizzard date, and I hope Sean doesn’t either . .. .

    What saves this season is that some of the girls actually seem like genuine people for a change — well, that’s a HUGE change over most seasons. Even though Sean’s an obvious douchebag. And boring as all hell to boot.

    Although, he has made it perfectly clear what he believes the respective roles of a husband and wife are meant to be — which means, he only kept Catherine around for a bit of bumping in the fantasy suite (hey, he can always ‘reclaim’ his virginity afterward anyway), because there’s no way he’s interested in an independent woman.

    I feel really bad for AshLee now. She’s just so desperate and pathetic — desperate to get away from her overbearing father no doubt. Who apparently still treats her like a child even though she’s 32 years old. Also: did anyone else think “Damn, christianity pays pretty well after all” when they showed their house?

    I still think Lindseed is the one for him. Even thought AshLee would make a better doormat. I just keep getting an “I’m a model” vibe from her though.

    Oh yes — Desiree is beautiful. Even with the knock knees. She should be happy he dumped her — she’ll make an interesting Bachelorette/Bachelor Pad contestant.

    Can’t believe they’ll waste a whole hour on Sean Tells All. This guy has fucking nothing to say. Nothing. And it’s clear he’s been lying for a least the last three or four episodes — his choice is already made, he’s just going through the motions.

    I hope they’re still going to do the Women Tell All show. That’s always a hoot.

    @Itchy, they will won’t they? Isn’t it usually after the fantasy dates but before the finale?

    Didn’t Sean say that he wasn’t sure how he would be able to get along with Des’ brother after the way he was with Sean? I can understand that! My BIL is cool, but in someways not so much. When he drinks he is a total asshole! Plus when he is around my hubby and dad, he tries way to much to impress my dad. Let’s just say that we don’t do a whole lot as a family. Plus there was that vacation we went on with sister and BIL and they both got physical with each other, yeah that pretty much sealed the deal!

    Des in the limo, “now what am I going to do with my life” crap…umm, bitch you got a job! Be thankful for that, cause some of us don’t, and are going crazy!

    I loved seeing Sean and Catherine having such fun in Pike Place Market! The throwing of the fish is a daily thing. I can’t believe she caught one, one handed. I hope that production bought the one that she dropped on the floor.

    Lindsay should know better-ie, you don’t go out in PT’s with out being in full PT uniform!! That kind of got to me! Being married to someone in the Navy, I know that 1-if you go out in your PT’s you have to go directly to base. 2-no PDA’s what so ever! Yes, I get that it was a “joke” but I guess I am just “military”…

    I for one can’t wait for the Sean Tells All. I really want to see what he has to say about DentHead!

    UGH UGH UGH. I got continuous douchechills last night, because Sean clearly has no idea what a loving, equal relationship is supposed to be. He should NOT be so concerned about getting parents’ blessings when the parents know perfectly well he’s dating other women, but he SHOULD be concerned about getting the blessing from the woman he loves. I really do not like AshLee, have not liked her from day one, but he should probably choose her, because she is completely lacking in any personality and she will completely sublimate herself into his life. And that’s the only way he’s going to be happy with anyone.

    I was quite charmed by Lindseed during that scene though, where she was playing the drill sergeant. I have a feeling she’s got too good a sense of humor for Sean. I want her as the next Bachelorette now.

    Also, I got the feeling her brother’s special needs? Anyone else get that?

    Desiree’s brother’s a clear douchebag. Only thing he was missing was the Ed Hardy tee-shirt. Who wants to bet he’s done a bit of prison time? So yeah, considering Sean’s “feelings” for these girls is based on a couple of hours of alone-time with him, he was right to bail.

    Not only that, but the douchebag did that before they could eat their (obviously catered) dinner! Fucker! No one gets between me and my steak!

    Sean’s whole “blessing” thing is part of his ridiculous religious value system. I loved how he was apologizing for his dad not being a reverend, just a pastor who doesn’t even run his own church…. This guy’s a clear suck-up.

    And they better put AshLee on suicide watch if he doesn’t pick her. She’s probably got enough leftover Botox lying around her house to do the job.

    Posted February 20, 2013 at 10:22 am

    Nope, not the only one. I thought it was hilarious that, after Sean had spent the entire three previous hometown visits telling all the girls and any family member who asked if he loved them or about his ‘feelings’ that he was ‘crazy about ___’, that Des’ brother responded to that statement regarding Des by saying, ‘But you say that about all the girls, right?’ And Sean was all offended, like his heart was so TRUE! His feelings for Des and the other women were so PURE and FOREVER and HOW DARE HE question his ‘CHARACTER’ like that?! What. An. Ass.

    And then on the Sean Tells All special, which I could take for no more than thirty minutes, Sean was bitching about Des’ brother and saying how pissed off he was and how he didn’t want to make a ‘scene’ but man, was he mad! And he floated that perhaps Des’ brother had been in prison, and that Des’ brother was shady, and how you couldn’t really credit Des’ brother with good intentions or judgment because he wasn’t an upstanding pure fellow like Sean is!! I swear, Des really really really owes her brother big time for getting her out of that situation with Sean, because she is so much better than that. She deserves better than ‘sunbeams shine out of my ass so kiss it like you mean it’ Sean Lowe. You can totally tell he’s the golden darling boy in his family and that he has been praised to the heavens by the women in his life forever. He has a very high opinion of himself and cannot take any criticism or opposition at all. HOW DARE HE QUESTION ME? Whatever, Sean.

    Sure, Des’ brother could have handled the conversation less assily himself, but his problem wasn’t his douche detector. That was working perfectly. Sean was pissed off that someone finally called his shit on him and we can’t have that, can we?

    Oh, and during the part of the special that I saw they discussed Tierra again in terms of her ‘sobbing’ and ‘couldn’t handle it’ and I wanted to scream at them that she never shed a single tear!!! She was playing you, you dimwit! Or maybe that’s just Sean’s paternalism protecting the little woman and her weakheartedness. That sounds about right, he seems like the kind of guy who would think a woman too weakminded to ‘handle it’ and to be all weepy about the process and not realize that he is being manipulated by a narcissist princess type. I imagine he thinks he could see through that game. Obviously he can’t.

    @andyourlittledogtoo, whew! Glad you got that off your chest! I love to hear differing opinions, I just don’t think it was his place to confront Sean, no matter what he thought. If he could see through it, he should have talked to Des . . . he seems like a punk who’s ruined more than he’s helped. I don’t know how she came out so balanced, when he just reeks of trouble and immaturity!

    And I hear you Sean criticizers, and I don’t disagree. He’s definitely not for me, nor am I particularly religious, but if he finds a girl who fits with him and that life style, I’m not against it for them. Would not work for me. I’m thinking Catherine is too good for him anyway . . .

    I’m with juddfan. Although I agree with everything that Des’ brother said (Sean is just a playboy and is “crazy about” a lot of other girls, etc.), I don’t think it was the brother’s place to say anything. Desiree is an adult and she can decide who she does or does not want to have a relationship with. Although it may seem like he was trying to help the situation and protect his sister, right now, Des is just going to be pissed at him for ruining a potential relationship.

    @itchy: As soon as Sean said his dad was a minister, I laughed. Why has that not come up in his relationship with AshLee before that moment? It’s something they clearly have in common. The way I see it, Sean’s dad probably did a reading one time in church or sometimes helps out as a communion assistant or usher.

    @Andyourlittledogtoo: Sean falls into the “nice guy” category. He always talks himself up and about what a great guy he is. Mean while, he’s dating several woman at once and telling each of them that he’s crazy about them, has had the best date ever with them, sees a future with them, etc. Yes, that’s the whole point of the show, but I think that each person who has ever done the show is a little bit of a jerk. You would have to be to participate in something like this.

    I think the only redeeming quality about Sean is that he in fact is not sleeping with all 3 ladies. I myself would have had a problem with that!

    Here is an interesting tidbit about me-I actually filled out the “application” to be on the season after Andrew Firestone. Nothing at all happened. My aunt suggested that I do it, just to see what would happen. Then I signed up for Match.com… :)

    Also, I’d be curious to see someone make a side-by-side comparison of Sean’s kissing technique with the different ladies. I’m betting he has a “tell” — seems to me with most of the gals, he’s just going for an advanced peck. The only one he really seems to go for it with it Lindseed. I could be wrong, of course — she’s just so darned cute, I can’t help but root for her to “win.”

    I hate this show. I really really do.

    The Sean Tells All special was so great last night, because I loved seeing that Des’ brother was a perfectly normal human being who gave Sean a free pass, and then turned on a dime. Fascinating. I still say it was wrong on Sean’s part to send Des home, but probably best for her in the long run.
    And I still vote Lesley 4 Bachelorette! Or Des. That’d be cool too. Sorry, Itchy – I couldn’t take it if Lindsay was Bachelorette. She annoys the shit out of me.
    Oh, and another thing? That segment on one-armed Sarah – Chris Harrison kept pushing how much she was a “fan favorite” and etc etc… I have a sneaking suspicion they’re floating her out there to see if America would want her to be Bachelorette. Sigh.

    Let me tell you @itchy, being married for 8 1/2 yrs and not getting frisky for the past 5, it is tough to get around that…I have tried many things. And when you are wanting to start a family, it is worse! He says lets get a dog, I say lets have a baby. Ok, some of that time, hubs was deployed…but there are some other issues that we are trying to get fixed…as in he needs to get out of the service and out of the Jet grade fuel that he works in. He might be able to claim disability when he gets out, but we aren’t sure.

    As for what my “First Impression statement” would have been? Hmm that is hard to say! I am far from being a “Barbie!” They probably would have said thanks but no thanks if I would have made it to the “auditions”.

    It is nice to see more “normal” looking women this time around. If Lindsay were to become the next Bachelorette, I may watch. I actually liked her. In a way I am glad that she never told Sean how she felt. It seems like in past seasons, once you said ILY you were gone the next day. I know that they tape for like 6 or 8 weeks…Hell I met my hubby in March of 04, we were at the Courthouse in July, and this will be 9 yrs of marriage for us!

    Leslie kind of bugs me…I think it is the fact that she uses “like” all the time. That bugs the shit out of me! Also the usage of ” and um”! I don’t think she or Ashlee would be a great fit for The Bachelorette. JMO though

    No, I don’t want Lindseed to be the Bachelorette, I want Sean to choose her — though I’m not sure if that’s winning… I just watched that “Sean Tells All/Stupid Fucking Twitter Get OFF Of My Fucking Screen” special, and I take back anything nice I might have said about this guy. What a smarmy douchebag. I’ve never seen anyone lie that blatantly — and I’ve watched most seasons of the Bachelor. This guy is the worst actor the bunch.

    I also rolled my eyes everytime he said he honestly didn’t know who he was going to choose… I mean, sure, I get exactly the same way when it comes time to choose a bagel. But then I pray for clarity and it always works for me.

    They didn’t show all of what happened with Des’ brother. They only showed the part where they first met — they didn’t show the part where it slowly dawned on Mr. Eddie Hardy what a total douchebag Sean is.

    Anyhoo, I like Catherine or Des for Bachelorette. Catherine first of all, because she sure does fill out a bikini really nicely. And she’s smart. There’s no way they’ll choose Sarah. No fucking way. It’s bad enough they had that ice queen on last time. They’re not going to choose a broken Barbie doll for the next one.

    Oh also… Mrs. Itchy and I met at a party while she was visiting the States and I knew right away that she was the one (it’s been almost 20 years now). I actually had a date lined up for later in the week, but immediately broke it off. See, Sean? That’s how it’s done. You don’t just string them all along and pretend you love all of them for weeks on end.

    Speaking of which : I’m just imagining the expression on the face of whichever gal he chose while she’s watched this past season. I don’t remember past Bachelors ever being so insistent over how hard it was for them to choose, as if the one they eventually did end up choosing wasn’t all that special…

    Ok, I keep getting Lindseee and Leslie confused!! No I would not watch it if the army brat was the next Bachelorette. I would watch it if the blonde girl from last week was the next bachelorette. Maybe Des. She seemed like a fun person.. but from Monday night she was very needy/clingy. Don’t let me go, you are making a mistake..

    One would think after what 25 seasons of this show-yes I am including the Bachelorette also- that if you are wanting to be apart of this show, you have to know that you are basically sharing your mate with 25 other harpies/bros, and once you get down to say the last 6 your bf/gf is going to have feelings for a few of them…You also have to know that at least one or two of them are going to be in love with that person too. I would also like to think that in the beginning everyone is dishing about what was done on each date, but at the end, not so much. Once home town dates, it is all over. You aren’t with the people in the house anymore until that rose ceremony going into the fantasy dates. Plus you also have to know that once those fantasy dates come along your bf/gf is going to sleep with the remaining contestants. Well except for Sean in this case.

    I would like to believe that all the previous Bachelor/Bachelorettes only slept with whom they knew they were going to pick. Seems like you can just tell…I mean come on with Trista and Ryan you knew. But then again, they had dated before the show…

    @itchy, I agree this show is a drug…one that should be illegal in all 50 states and Canada!

    @Itchy- what’s the meaning behind calling Lindsay “Lindseed?” Also, this is a dumb, scripted reality show that has been on the air for years and every year, it’s the exact same. The lead ALWAYS asks for the parents’ blessing…it has nothing to do with religion. Also, even if Sean knew who his final girl would be, the concept of the show won’t allow him to kick all the others to the curb. Chances are he knew who the 3-4 girls he really liked was after the 2nd week, but he has to go through the motions of kicking people off one by one.

    If you hate this show so much why do you watch? and why do you care enough to comment on a blog about it?

    Hmm, billyjean, clearly you don’t get my particular brand of humor. That’s okay! Neither does my wife!

    But you ought to know that TVgasm is not a fan site. It’s a place where misfits like me can come to make fun of the crap they put on tv. Hell, it’s just about the ONLY place. All the other sites take this shit way too seriously.

    Yes, I know exactly how the Bachelor works. It’s what makes it so much fun. Because after all these years of clear bullshittery, they still bring on douchebags like Sean who pretend to get all offended (to the point where he wanted to hit someone! What happened to “turn the other cheek,” Mr. Pastor’s Son?) by someone who questions his “integrity.”

    What could be more fun? Plus: Bikinis!

    I think it’d be great if Manti T’eo is the next Bachelor. That’d be ground-breaking! Bringing on a Special Needs person like that. I’m guessing he has Down’s Syndrome? They never speak about it. Maybe because it’s so obvious?

    Another thing: Sean never said nothing was going to happen in the Fantasy Suite. He just kind of smirks and looks all demure (because he’s lying out his asshole). That’s all part of his douchebaggery. Sure, he’s probably unlikely to fuck any of these girls (my guess is he prefers to be on the receiving end anyway). But he’s all about the loopholes, this guy. You know, he’s gonna follow his (penis-shaped) heart and “break the rules.”

    @Andyourlittledogtoo so agree with you and @needsmedstoo.

    Why does the main public not see that this brother was right! He did not feel love from mister goodie 2 shoes to his sister when they were there.. He felt it was all fake and let’s be honest. he is right.

    If you are really into someone you do not say goodbye because of one visit with a family member.
    I think Des served as the cover . How do you say it. Sean pretended to be in love with her, she even said that she felt they had the greatest bond compared to the other girls. (a girl will not say that easily) so he did that so we will not find out who he really is into.
    Well Des. Be happy you are not with him. He is probably in love with the girl we hardly see on the show. yawn.

    He is boring, he has white eyebrows, and he is more in love with himself and how he is viewed.

    Oh I just read itchy’s post and lmao. I think Sara will be the new bachelorette. Harrison is harping on how popular she is.

    Well she has one arm, no problem, well a little but she also has no personality so nah, it will not be here. She is so boring. I want a new bachelor or bachelorette. Why they now always feel the need to use someone who already has been on the show? I guess this show has many screaming women, and men loving the people on it and take it way too seriously. ;)

    @ CrazyDutchwoman ~ ‘He has white eyebrows’ just cracked me up for some reason ;) You’re so right, those weird brows drive me crazy, too!

    I’d like to see Des as the next Bachelorette, but who the hell knows. As long as they don’t bring Emily Maynard back, it’s all good. She should just marry Chris Harrison, and be done with it.

    @itchy & thisbuggs4u: I am with you on this “show is a drug.” Every time I’ve watched an entire season (aside from this one), it’s been because it was on after Jeopardy! and I couldn’t find the remote, so I just got sucked in and then had to see what happened.

    @itchy: I have a tough time with bagels as well. Sometimes I go into Dunkin Donuts and know that I want an everything bagel and then I remember that onion is right there. Then, if I’m at Panera, the apple crunch is staring right at me and I can never say no. Could you share some of your clarity prayers with me?

    @billyjeansss: I don’t think there are any of us here that actually LIKE this show. The whole point of TVgasm is to make fun of shows like this. I think the most any of us feel about “The Bachelor” is “guilty pleasure.” We band together here as a way of making fun of shows like this.

    I confess that I’m usually hammered on wine while I’m watching the show. There’s just something about the incredibly slow pacing — coupled with the show’s weird insistence on telling me every five minutes what I’m going to see as well as the multiple recaps of what I’ve JUST seen several seconds ago… it’s just really soothing. Like having your diaper changed again and again and again…

    As for Sarah — I think the show needs an “ethnic” Bachelorette (i.e., Catherine! Zing!) before they start going for the special needs crowd. Especially since Sarah has all the personality of a wet sock.

    I do feel sorry for her, especially it’s going to be really tough to round up 25 guys who would go on the show and sincerely be interested in a girl with just one arm. Because that’s just not how the world is. Poor kid. I’m sure she’s getting plenty of offers now that she’s off the show anyway.

    @coffylover. So Yay, I am not the only one.

    That is why I love tvgasm. I will not get an infraction because I typed shitty. That happened to me once. English is not my first language and to me it did not sound so bad to say shitty. Guess I was wrong. (rolls eyes) (Oh these are without white eyebrows)

    @itchy. Yes alas you are right. If she would have had a personality maybe it would have been at least do-able . I would like a black or another ethnic besides caucasian (Can I say that?) bachelorette. And then not one who only likes white men. Little bit mixing up would be nice.

    This was a boring season. Only interesting thing were the previews which were all not true.
    (Oh and the brother was interesting)
