There's nothing quite better than getting all of the women back together each season on The Bachelor to dish on each other and the man of the hour himself. I must say that host Chris Harrison is always able to navigate through the tears, catty comments, and confrontations pretty smoothly. We kick off this reunion with a montage of the girls talking about one another and of course their main target: Princess Tierra Sparklebrow.

 

Tierra joins Chris in the hot seat first, and it's clear that she's trying to save a little face after the backlash from her appearance on the show. She tries to come across as sweet, saying she was misjudged and never badmouthed the other women in the house. Of course, you can imagine the look on everyone's faces and Robin outright calls her delusional. Even Chris can't help but ask if she's remorseful or if she understands why people might take it the wrong way when she carries on about her "sparkle". Nope, Tierra doesn't get it. At least she's found someone who loves her for who she is, and she's sporting a huge rock on her finger to prove it... though I'm not sure everyone is buying it.

 

Next up in the hot seat is Sarah, who clearly is still having a hard time with the way she was let go on the show. It's understandable, since Sean just showed up at the hotel in Canada, pulled her aside, and told her he just didn't see a future with her. She can't help but think it's the fact that she has one arm and I'd really hope that wasn't the case but Sean dumped her so abruptly that it makes you wonder. Desiree is up next and the first topic of discussion is her train wreck of a hometown date, thanks to her brother. She doesn't hold any resentment towards him, but his attitude towards Sean definitely didn't help her chances.

 

When AshLee hits the hot seat, she freely admits that she would've accepted a proposal from Sean, and she now feels like she was misled. Sean was apparently telling her all kinds of things that made her believe she was the one. Well hello, that's The Bachelor! They tell the women all of the things they want to hear and that's why they cry uncontrollably in their limo rides back to Singlesville.

 

Chris brings Sean out to face the women, and you have to imagine that he's a nervous wreck about it. He and AshLee get most of the airtime, where he reveals that she was a bit too serious for him. He wanted someone that he could laugh with more, but does say that she was a frontrunner throughout the season and that he was falling in love with her. She then drops a bomb saying that he told her, in the fantasy suite, that he didn't have feelings for Lindsay or Catherine. Sean vehemently denies it and even during some behind the scenes footage of the tell all special, he maintains his innocence. Well, of course! Can you imagine what his now fiancé would have to say about that!?

 

We get a little glimpse of Sean and Desiree's relationship and are we detecting a little chemistry between them still? It could be that they just really like each other as people but it doesn't seem there's any bitterness there, which is nice to see. Then again, I have a theory Des is the new Bachelorette so I'd be smiling too if I were here.

 

Next week, we find out if Sean chooses Lindsay or Catherine but come on. It's Lindsay, right? Which one of them sends the mysterious note to Sean as he's waiting to say his final words to each of them? Next Monday can't come soon enough!
