I think that's a little harsh. Sean is 29, Ashlee 32 (plus 3), Lindsey 24 (minus 5) and Cathererine 26 (minus 3). Those are all reasonable age differences for relationships.
I think Ashlee harps on the abandonment issue a bit toooooo much but I am thinking maybe just the producers keep asking her those questions and leading her interviews in that direction. She has made it very clear she loves and appreciates her adoptive parents and that did happen at age 6 so she has had many stable years with them and yes I understand that doesn't erase her earlier memories and fears.

I think you are probably right. The producers really do that--I know they did it to my friend. You would not believe what they said to her--they are like hounds! To get you there, they are nice but once they get you out there, they turn on you. Surprise! (Not really!)
I doubt this girl is as hung up on abandonment as they lead us to believe.
What was the girl's name from last time that was on this time? She was from TN...anyway, she made the comment that the ***** model girl that we all loved to hate last time was not like the show portrayed her. Of course, one must wonder if she wasn't such a evil woman, where'd they get the material from? Oh well, I do not understand it all.

And you think Sean is the one who came up with those dates?? No, the idiot producers are the ones who do. It's probably written into the Bachelor's contract. Look at the corny date cards too, no way Sean wrote those out.
One wonders how it all happens because it does not happen in RL as it happens as we see it on TV but that's probably all I can say. I knew it was scripted and edited to death but I had no idea to what extent.

The odds of finding love under these circumstances is slim to none. Honestly, it has just turned into another drama show instead of what it half way started out to be. To not give away who someone is falling in love with, one must act "in love" with too many. And there's where it takes a horrible turn.
I'm thinking he will pick Catherine. I just think there is a connection there that I do not see with the other girl.
All that said, I wish I could share some things here but I seriously doubt I'm "allowed" to know them. I guess it is like seeing Mickey Mouse w/o his head on.
