Sean Lowe: Born again.... and again... and again

Sean and the last three girls are off to Thailand this week! I am happy with this season because all three of these girls are truly sweet, fun, smart girls. Of course, I have my favorite, but I think he could be happy with any of these girls.

After recapping his relationship with each of the four girls, he meets Lindsay for the first one on one date.

 They walk around the Thailand market, where they eat all kinds of things I would not eat. Oh, no.  No, Sean. I would not eat a bug for you.

Sean tells Lindsay that she's the best friend he's been looking for, which makes her heart melt. Who would have thought that the girl who first came out of the limo wearing a wedding dress would be one of the final girls?

In the evening, Sean takes Lindsay to a reenactment of the Main Street Electrical Parade and they enjoy a dinner together. Lindsay says she could move to Dallas immediately. Sean says he looks forward to the two of them looking for a house together.

But then she couldn't pull the trigger on saying the L Word, and their romantic moment was destroyed by the Thai dancers.

Chris Harrison gives Lindsay his normal note-- saying that they can ditch their separate rooms and spend the night as a couple in the fantasy suite. Lindsay says that she would like to spend that extra time with them.

Don't get all excited. It doesn't mean they did the nasty.

She finally finally tells Sean that she loves him, but it sounded so awkward, so fake, so lame. But he says he loves to hear her say that.

Is he going to pick her in the end?

Ashlee gets the next one on one date.

 She is my favorite to win right now, but I'm nervous for her. I  think she is too open with her feelings for Sean, and Sean seems distant.

Sean tells Ashlee that they have own private beach, but they have to swim through a pitch black cave to get to the beach. Sean believes that his wife needs to trust him completely, and he wants Ashlee to give up control.

I would have failed this test. It is very hard for me to give up control.

Sean is eventually able to lead Ashlee out of the cave, and they enjoy a beautiful private beach. I just don't know what to think. Ashlee and Sean are so alike. They're both from Texas, they share the same family values.... but I don't know. Sean wants a girl he can protect and take care of, but he also wants a girl who will challenge him. I think Catherine would be too MUCH of a challenge, and Ashlee isn't ENOUGH of a challenge. I'm beginning to think that Lindsay is the best pick for him.

But back to Ashlee...

They have a private dinner on the beach, but Ashlee can't relax because she's thinking about the fantasy suite. Without actually saying it, she says she doesn't want to go to the fantasy suite if it means they're going to have sex. And Sean doesn't actually say it, but he implies that going to the fantasy suite means only that he wants to spend more time with  her.

So she goes. And you can use your imagination to decide what they actually did when the cameras stopped rolling.

And finally, we have Catherine.

Oh, Catherine. They get along great, they have fun, but Sean has doubts about his relationship, so she better make some magic happen.

She's so pretty. She's so fun. But I don't know that she's ready to settle down, definitely not to the extent of the other two.

But Sean and Catherine kissing on the boat in the rain= HOT!

Catherine says that in five years she could see herself marrying Sean, with possibly a kid. She kinda lost me with the way she said kid. He's a family man, she should have said child or baby.

Catherine also says she's nervous about the fantasy suite, and Sean reassures her that his intentions are pure. She goes with him to the fantasy suite.

Cue the  soft porn music.

And then cut to an extended preview of Oz the Great and Powerful.

Sean goes into the rose ceremony absolutely knowing who he's going to send home. But then friggin' Chris Harrison gets in his head and tells Sean to really think about it, and he starts second guessing himself. Sean watches the video each girl made for him.

It makes it that much harder for Sean with his decision. He says that he never thought he was going to let this girl go. And he doesn't think she's going to be ok when this is over.

Oh, man. I'm pretty sure Ashlee is going home now.

Rose Recipients: 

Lindsay

Catherine

Ashlee is beyond upset. She doesn't say goodbye to the other girls, she doesn't want to hear what Sean has to say.... she looks like she's going to boil Sean's rabbit. 

Poor girl. 

Down to the final two! Who would have thought that these two would make it to the end? Can't wait to see how it all ends!
