This week is Fantasy Suite Time or if you have been paying attention "Let's stay up and talk time". Sean and the four remaining ladies are in Thailand, again another amazing looking place to add to the travel list.
First up is Lindsey, they start their date off at the local market in Thailand. Buying trinkets & eating local bugs. Yuck. This reminded me of when I went to China and we went to a local market lot of interesting fried animals. Our guide tried to get me to eat ants to get rid of my headache. I opted for some strange local oil smeared all over my face. Lindsey was a trooper and passed all Sean's obnoxious tests to prove her love to him. They then had dinner amongst some lite up boat things and dancers. This is when Lindsey wanted to tell Sean she loved him but the awkwardness took over and she just kept staring & smiling. Later on in their dorm room she fessed up with a quick "I love you"
Next up is AshLee, oh emotional ticking time bomb AshLee who was abandoned as a child. How do I know this because she mentions it every chance she gets. She arrives for her date and they take a boat to a cave they must swim under to get to their own little island. I have to admit all I could concentrate on was figuring out what her necklace said. I didn't so if you know please share this with me. Of course Sean tells AshLee they must swim in the cave in the complete darkness, pushing limits Sean you know she is a basket case. As AshLee tells us this will be hard on her because she was abandoned as a child. They make it, they make out, she tells him she loves him. Sean hands over the infamous card revealing that she can ditch her room and shack up with him for the night. AshLee feigns moral dilemma about what will happen in this room ( I am confused she was married at 17 right)??? Don't get me wrong I like AshLee but she is way to intense & emotional.
Last up at bat was Catherine, I like Catherine but I wished she dressed better. They take a boat out to go snorkeling and we get to witness a really cheesy Titanic moment, this show is awesome. I have to say I hate snorkeling, I went in Bermuda and spent hours puking all over the place. I would have taken the "bug eating" date out of all three of these dates which shows that Sean is a douche. Sean & Catherine definitely have a connection and the kiss in the rain was pretty hot. She also decided to have a sleep over as well.
Rose Ceremony - I knew that Sean was going to be sending AshLee home and was bracing myself for crying, puking just a complete mental & physical breakdown. You could see that Sean was upset knowing that he would be hurting her especially after watching her video. This was well played AshLee sobbing her face off telling Sean how loving him saved & healed her. Wow this is going to hurt.
First rose goes to Lindsey and after what seems like 10 minutes of intense music & deep breathing Catherine gets the rose. What's going to happen here come the tears and breakdown but no AshLee is PISSED. With a stare that she should have given Tierra AshLee walks right past Sean and doesn't utter a word to him before getting in the limo. I feel bad for AshLee I really do, back to abandonment issues for this one.
Like I have thought a couple weeks ago Lindsey & Catherine in the final two. Ultimately I think Lindsey is the better fir for Sean but I believe he will pick Catherine. He seems very relaxed with her and I have seen that for weeks.
Next week is The Woman Tell All - great TV awkward conversations, yelling, crying just a all around good time.
Finale in 2 weeks!!!!

This, that & the other thing
Just a couple of things that I have enjoyed, want to enjoy & looking forward to enjoying...
Some light reading...a guilty pleasure.
The Crossfire Series by Sylvia Day.
I have read the first 2 in the series Bared to You & Reflected in You, the 3rd installment comes out June 4th.
Entwined with You
The worldwide phenomenon continues as Eva and Gideon face the demons of their pasts, and accept the consequences of their obsessive desires...
From the moment I first met Gideon Cross, I recognized something in him that I needed. Something I couldn't resist. I also saw the dangerous and damaged soul inside--so much like my own. I was drawn to it. I needed him as surely as I needed my heart to beat.
No one knows how much he risked for me. How much I'd been threatened, or just how dark and desperate the shadow of our pasts would become.
Entwined by our secrets, we tried to defy the odds. We made our own rules and surrendered completely to the exquisite power of possession...
Online Shopping at it's best...
1. This is a cool website I found on Pinterest. This website let's you browse items by a certain "someone" and a certain "something" Pretty cool, check it out.

2. Groupon - this was introduced to me by my friend Liz. All it took was the download of the app on my Iphone & I was hooked. In the first day I bought Yoga classes, 2 motion sensored garbage cans & was this close to purchasing a 10 day trip to Morocco!!!

Don't Snuf My Sparkle!
We are getting down to the wire & tonight's episode and who gets the roses it of utmost importance. The four girls who receive roses tonight will be bringing Sean home to meet their families.
St. Croix looks like perfection..add it to the list of places to visit. This week we will have 2 one on one dates and a group date. Tierra has yet to have a one on one and she lets us know that right from the start. Date card comes and first one on one goes to AshLee. You can see the pure delight on her face and the utter annoyance on Tierra's. Tierra lets it be known to the gals that at AshLee's age (a whopping 32) she will be married with a family...don't count on it you freak. Let the games begin....
Date 1 - Sean picks up AshLee and they take a boat to their own private Island. AshLee strips down to her bikini and I have to say she looks amazing, Tierra should wish to look like her at 32. Like I have said I like AshLee but she does seem a bit damaged. Not saying that that is a reason for Sean not to choose her but she seems more serious than fun. They frolic on the beach and water and have good chemistry.
Sean straight up asks AshLee about Tierra and the drama in the house. I want to emphasize that Sean ASKED AshLee and I will talk more about this later on. She basically tells him that AshLee acts one way with them and another way with the girls. That she separates herself and obviously has issues getting along with other woman.
At dinner AshLee nervously tells Sean that she needs to share something from her past that may send him running & her packing for home. Lots of drama & the weird ass music that we have learned to love. Was Ashlee a man? No just a rebellious teenager who married her high school boyfriend at 17 and divorced a year later. Sean seemingly could give a rats ass and AshLee shouted to the sea that she was definitely in love with our bachelor.
Date 2 - Tierra finally get her date and she is none to pleased when her date card suggests she & Sean will be walking through town. Little Miss Freaky whines about sweating & bugs she should be more focused on fixing that eyebrow of hers. Sean & Tierra walk through St. Croix shopping, drinking and dancing in the streets. Sean finally asks Tierra about the drama in the house and she immediately blames the girls and how they are rude and alienate her. This girl can really manipulate a situation to her favor. At this point I just want to punch Sean in the face is he really that dumb. I know they don't get to see what is going on in the house but she has been a source of drama from the very start. And you can sense that during this conversation she is already thinking who is going to get the verbal lashing in the house for throwing her under the bus.
Group Date - Desiree, Catherine & Lindsey are woken by Sean at 4:45 am with camera in hand. Not cool Sean, but these girls are fun and precisely why he probably chose them for this date. Drama free he takes them on a road trip from one side of the island to the other. Group dates are weird especially when the size is smaller, the girls need time with him. I think Sean choose these three because he knew he had no questions on his feeling for them. Lindsey gets the rose and seals her hometown date.
Date 3 - Lesley and Sean venture off for a nature walk picking avocados and I am not really sure what else. This date is a big letdown. I like Lesley she is intelligent & witty but reserved when it comes to really opening up. This is not the formula for being on The Bachelor, you have to be able to shout your love from the rooftops because you have a few short weeks to seal the deal. I had to cover my eyes when it was obvious Lesley was struggling to be able to tell Sean she loved him, it was painful to watch. I felt badly for her because she is logical and has feelings for him but knew it is ridiculous to tell him she loves him when it seems so rushed. I knew right them her quest to be his wife had just ended.
Meanwhile back at the house Tierra decided to have a bitchfest with AshLee for telling Sean about her mental issues. Sean meanwhile flew his sister in to give him some perspective on the final woman. As Tierra & AshLee are having their throw down Sean decides to go to the house and get Tierra to talk to his sister. I was waiting to have my own smackdown with Sean if he turned this on Ashlee. He asked her about Tierra she didn't just tell him. Tierra is going ape shit on AshLee telling her how great she is and anyone would want to marry her and that she can't control her infamous eyebrow and that she won't let anyone put out her sparkle. Oh is that what we call obnoxious bitch these days???
Sean finally comes to the house to see Tierra crying yet again. Bam...Sean finally opens his squinty eyes and send Tierra packing. FINALLY! Sorry psycho Sean just snuffed your sparkle.
Rose Ceremony - As I thought along with Lindsey, Desiree, Catherine & AshLee got roses and will bring Sean home to meet their families. Poor Leslie was just to normal to go the distance.
Next week is hometown dates - always a good time had by all. Desiree's brother seems sweet huh.
My predictions really haven't changed:
I see Lindsey & Catherine in the final 2.

Got Milk?
So this week we were rewarded with 2 nights of Bachelor shenanigans.....we must have done something right in our past lives.
The crew heads to Montana..woop woop
Night One:
Lindsey got the one-on-one date. She and Sean seem like a nice match, she has come a long way from showing up in a wedding dress. No drama, no crying (yet), no fighting just a substitute teacher looking for love. They have a simple and sweet date, a bit boring but honestly that's why I think they work..NO DRAMA!!
Group Date:
Some sort of hillbilly obstacle course. Girls show up to a bunch of goats and haystacks. One of then even uttered "Are those dogs"? God I love this show. Two teams, a canoe race, a hay pulling contest & the grand finale of milking and chugging goats milk for more time with Sean.
And their off..Selma & Robyn basically look like my kids trying to drive bumper cars. Poor Sarah is dragging hay with one arm. ( Did anyone notice she needed to scratch her nose, I know you did Laura). And Desiree literally rips the udders of the goat before she downs the milk like a person who doesn't produce saliva. Red team wins and the blue team gets sent back to the mansion..boo hoo. The 4 girls on the red team are excited by their win and that there is less competition for time with Sean.
Sean has a change of heart and decided to invite the losing team to the party...roar the red team is pissed. To be honest I would be too, if I had to drink goats milk it better have some sort of reward. Desiree was right why bother doing it if it didn't really matter. Sean think things through buddy.
Tierra gets more creepy and finds Sean to talk about how needy she is. She is unstable. I mean it.
Sean & Catherine go outside for a chat, notice how comfortable she is on his lap. As I said last week Catherine & Sean have something major going on that I think we aren't privy too. Daniella who has the look of someone who has been out drinking till 4 AM cries a bit and Sean of course hands over the sympathy rose, to a person on the LOSING team. Ass.
Two- on -One Date:
Tierra & Jackie go on what is considered the worst date of the series. Three is definitely a crowd. Jackie is pretty & nice but her personality is about as exciting as an episode of "Grey's Anatomy" these days. Tierra pulls out the sympathy card again, "my boyfriend was a drug addict who died", even if Jackie's fate was already sealed there was no way he would send her home after talking about death. Quick Jackie, got anyone who died recently??? Bye Jackie :(
Cocktail Party:
The house seems tense and Tierra again finds her solo place by the fire. Some of the girls try to talk to Tierra about why she is a complete psycho which turns her into more of a psycho. Sean walks bye as she is barking at the ladies. Sean decides to ask Leslie if she knows anything about the Tierra situation. I don't get this he calls Kacie B crazy and kicks her off for bringing it up but now is annoyed that no one will tell him anything. Make up your mind.
Sean decides to keep the crazy and tosses Robyn to the curb. We are rewarded tonight with another episode where it looks as though Tierra may get her ass frozen solid. Looks awesome!
My Final Thoughts:
Sean has to stop picking Sarah for activities that is so ridiculous for someone with one arm. It's not challenging her its just mean.
When Tierra wet to stalk Sean did you notice she was wearing the blue checkered short from the group challenge. Not only is she cray but a thief as well.
I think at this point my final three are Lindsey, Catherine and I can't yet choose between Ashlee & Desiree.
