the bachelor week seven

OMG I cannot believe it is time for hometown dates. Where did the time go? It is week seven out of ten. Only two more episodes left (plus WTA) and then it. will. all. be. over. My Mondays will go back to me wishing it was Friday so the weekend can start. Sean will no longer be on my television screen. I don't even want to think about it right now. Also this week (Tuesday) there will be a never-done-before-in-Bachelor-history special episode called Sean Tells All. This is so exciting! I think I was more looking forward to this than the actual episode. Kinda bummed it was only one hour instead of two but I figured it would be one hour anyway so I wasn't too bummed. Anyways, since this is hometown week I am blogging this episode in a special and unique way. A picture is worth a thousand words, which is exactly how this post will go. I feel a picture will say more than words will. (But there are many words still, because I love to write). Make sure, if you are able, to read what is written within the photos. Although not absolutely necessary, it will, however, help you as you read. Enjoy!

Let us begin!

Four girls, Ashlee, Catherine, Lindsay and Desiree, have the privilege to take Sean to their hometowns. I miss Lesley already! I wish she made it this far. Anyways, first Sean starts things off in Houston, TX (which is about three and a half hours away from his house, just fyi). He meets Ashlee and her dog, Bailey in their hometown.

This is basically all that happens: Sean talks with parents, Ashlee talks with parents.
It is a very short day.

She does, I believe, make Sean a little bit uncomfortable when she tells her parents what activities they participated in on their dates. (i.e. rolling in sand). I mean why would you tell your parents that? I sure wouldn't. But the day still ends on a good note.

Next, Sean travels to Seattle, WA to meet Catherine in her hometown and unlike Ashlee's serious and emotional date, Sean and Catherine have some fun catching dead fish. Yep, dead fish. Ugh Idk how I would handle that smell. Anyways, they go to her house, Sean does push-ups with Catherine on his back (again.. 1st time was before volleyball game ep 3), he has an awkward conversation with her mom, and finds out she is messy and career-focused when talking to her sisters (who kinda throw her under the bus as Tierra would put it). This is how it all went down... can you guys read the captions within the photo?

The date left Sean with a lot of questions. That's never good. Moving on...

Things get really interesting when Sean marches to Lindsay's hometown in Fort Leonard Wood, MO. (Get it? Military joke) Lindsay gets Sean "army ready, not regular ready, army ready" before meeting her two-star general father. I found this scene very funny and cute. Lindsay is just a funny and cute girl. I have to point out that Sean's army drills include push-ups. Lindsay has a brilliant idea. She wonders how strong Sean actually is and sits on him during his push-ups. Because that's never been done before. (Not by Emily's friend, not by Catherine twice, not by whoever else that wasn't shown on camera. This was completely Lindsay's idea). 

I wonder if Sean ever got tired of this and walked away to discuss it with Chris Harrison (who secretly wanted to try it also, because they have a secret bromance going on).

Sean eventually meets Lindsay's fab fam and it goes really well. Her mom is awesome and her dad is not "a hardass" as Sean assumed. The date ends with Sean receiving dog tags from Lindsay's dad. They also feed each other cupcakes.

Finally, the best was saved for last, Sean travels to Los Angeles, CA (aka dramatown) to meet Desiree and her family. Her mom and dad are so sweet. But that's boring television so they barely gets shown. Instead, most of the day was Sean getting heated and stressed. First, Des pranks him by making him believe her ex-boyfriend wants her back. Sean gets really confused and angry but takes it well when he finds out it's a joke. Nice, Des. I didn't think it was a good joke. You could have went about it differently if you wanted to prank Sean to get revenge for the museum prank he played on you. I mean Sean wanted to punch this guy! She does a nice job though keeping her straight face. (She almost breaks it, hence the hand over mouth) I think I would have ruined it by laughing. If I try to play a joke on someone, I couldn't keep a straight face to save my life. Ha!

Then the whole deal with her brother happens. And it's for real. I really felt bad for Sean. I mean there is a difference between being the protective brother and a complete assface. There was a line and he was so far across this line he couldn't see it looking back, He was totally rude and unacceptable. It really pissed me the f**k off just watching it. I seriously wished I could bitchslap the dude. How can you call someone you just met and know nothing about him a playboy and judge him like that? Ugghhh he really pushed my buttons! You could tell the parents were so uncomfortable and embarrassed by their son's actions. I would have definitely lost my cool if he was my brother and junk punched him in his man business in front of everyone and stormed away.

Now that Sean has visited each girl's hometown it is time for the rose ceremony to send one girl home. This is easily predictable who it could be. Although, not necessarily. Sean gives the first two roses to Lindsay and Ashlee. Easy peasy. No hard work there. Now he has to choose between Catherine and Desiree. 

He can't so this happens...

He leaves the room and talks to Chris Harrison about what his decision should be. To which Chris provides this piece of advice to him: "don't mess this up." ....... uhhh....... I don't get this statement. Why would you say something like this? Of course he doesn't want to mess it up. Way to add to the pressure he was already overwhelmed with! Sean returns and eliminates Desiree. Because he won't miss her as much as the other girls. And because her brother messed everything up. Because he is an assface. She should hate him. I would.

Desiree's reaction? Well let's see...

Sean is down to three lovely ladies: Lindsay (my favorite), Catherine and Ashlee. Onto Thailand! Where I guess they will be staying for the last couple weeks until this journey ends. 

As always, even though edited by me, all photos are credited to ABC. Have a good night everyone!

Sean and Lindsay seem to take over the end credits. Several times they were featured, I guess to lighten everyone's mood after an emotional episode. I'm not complaining! I like seeing them together, being goofy and awesome. Here we have cupcake face! They are barely ever serious. (He gets enough of that from Ashlee, which is understandable considering her childhood). 

Until next week...
