Last night’s The Bachelor: Sean Tells All special told us a lot about Sean Lowe’s connections with the final three women, but did it reveal who he would propose to on the upcoming finale? After Desiree was sent home, it was tough to know who has Sean’s heart. Based on his body language, here are my predictions.

We’re only three weeks into the current season of The Bachelor, and tensions are already high. It seems as if one luck contestant, Lesley M., made Bachelor, Sean Lowe, want more after their initial meeting. Lowe toured Lesley to the Guinness World Records Museum. As the tour approached its end, Chris Harrison popped out of nowhere and explained the point of the date. According to UsMagazine.com, the two love birds would kiss on screen for 3 minutes and 16 seconds. Huffintgton Post reports that the couple enjoyed a rooftop dinner after.
How can a kiss help you determine if your partner’s ‘the one’?

Hollywood just may be the one place where the phrase “love is a battlefield” is an understatement. The land of fortune and fame is the forefront for some of the most scandalous relationships and splits we’ve ever witnessed.
But finding love is not the problem for these celebs; it’s keeping it. For many, passionate romances and ‘I do’s’ end as suddenly and tragically as their last. But luckily, every love story has a different ending… and some endings turn into new beginnings. These four celebrity couples came armed the second time around on the battlefield of love and came out on top:

The rich and famous get tattoos for the same reasons as everyone else: They’re about self-expression and an unchanging reminder in a changing life. A celebrity’s brand is their image, and that’s often something to consider when deciding between Mike Tyson’s tribal face design or Drew Barrymore’s navel butterfly. While we common folk might get a little attention for a bold new tat, it doesn’t compare to the celebrity news created by famous new ink. Here are some of the reasons celebs get tattoos. For the most part, they’re not that different from anyone else!

Reality TV has become a melting pot for people from all walks of life. There are those people who take part for the spectacle, and others who use it as a springboard for bigger career opportunities. Although not a star on Oxygen Network’s The Bad Girls Club, musician Kimberly Cole used reality television to jumpstart her music career by promoting the show with the hit single “Smack You” off of her 2010 album, Bad Girls Club.
Cole chatted with us about the challenges she faces as an artist, shedding perspective on what creative personalities deal with as they navigate their career. She even spoke about her love for fashion and how what you wear can translate on the first date. The most important take-away from our conversation with Cole is that being true to yourself and doing what you feel is in your heart is the best approach.
Perhaps this philosophy can be best explained in Cole’s recent single, “U Make Me Wanna,” which features an infectious dance beat with Keith Apicary (Nathan Barnatt) who is absolutely killing it on the dance floor. “We originally had this ‘video vixen’ idea for the shoot, so it was really surprising that Keith came out and blew us away with his moves,” Cole gushes. When you get a good look at Apicary, he embodies the kind of feel-good goofiness that pop music does not always seem to embrace.
His audition was classic, and the video, even better.

Most things are easier said than done. This is not that case for The Bachelorette contestant Sean Lowe when it comes to saying “I love you” to Emily Maynard. According to People, Lowe said, “So desperately I just want to open up and tell her how I really feel which is ‘I love you.’ It’s hard to say those words and it’s always been hard.” Luckily, Maynard still senses that Lowe cares for her, even though he can’t seem to find his words on the most recent episode in Curacao. “Sean does a million things a day to tell me that he’s the one for me,” Emily says in an exclusive preview of the episode. “But I need to know more. I can’t go through this and fall in love and have it not work again.” Hopefully Lowe will find the courage to say those three little words before Maynard questions his affection.

That’s it! I’ve decided that, if things don’t work out with my husband and if I ever have to look for love again, I’m going to have a baby first. There must be some hormone that’s released when you have a child that allows you to be more open, real and honest. It’s amazing how I continue to be impressed by Emily Maynard. She definitely knows how to date and make sure she’s getting what she wants.
Her final four bachelors are truly a solid group of men. They definitely proved themselves last night with their ability to express themselves and communicate with Emily, something that is essential to any great relationship. As I always say, in order to get what you want, you have to ask for it – and last night, the guys asked for it!

Has reality TV suddenly gone real? This season of the Bachelorette is actually shocking me because it’s real (or as real as reality can get). They’re in Emily’s hometown. She’s living in her own home with her daughter. Friends and family surround her while she seeks romance. Looks pretty real to me. We can only hope that the bachelors match up to that sentiment.

For the past decade, the world has become infatuated with reality TV shows. However, most people are less interested in the everyday lives of the featured stars, but rather their drama-filled love lives.
There have been beds flying across rooms, as seen on MTV’s Jersey Shore with Ron and Sam, and a couple of weddings on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. We’ve been in shock, we’ve laughed and we’ve cried with reality stars as we sit on our couches and watch them make the same mistakes over and over again. No matter how many times the things happens, we’re drawn in and simply cannot take our eyes off the screen.
Through all of the deceit and drama, most reality relationships end in failure; however, there are a few couples that beat the trend and have ended up happy and successful together:

Shannen Doherty is chronicling her wedding planning process in a new reality show called Shannen Says, which premieres Tuesday, April 10, at 10 p.m. ET on WE tv. According to People, the actress is truly enjoying life as a newlywed. “Things couldn’t be better. Married life is amazing, and I can only say that because of my partner, because of Kurt,” said Doherty. The actress has been married twice before, but both marriages were short-lived. “Marriage to me is such a gigantic commitment that it’s not something I’d ever go into lightly anymore,” she added. “I’ve learned my lesson.”

Matterhorn Madness! It was the ending we saw coming. Courtney Robertson got her ring. America groaned. Life went on.
And so, we’ve come to the conclusion of the 16th season of The Bachelor. While it would be difficult to attach superlatives like “best” to the rhetorical descriptive of this season, “most weird” would definitely be a fine way to describe it. This season was beyond weird. Aside from the usual batch of girls who didn’t quite make the cut, we saw a strange dynamic develop between Ben Flajnik, CourtneyRobertson and Lindzi Cox. You would imagine that, at first glance, Lindzi would be the runaway favorite. A girl like Courtney, who chafes and bothers everyone she’s in the same room with, shouldn’t have made the cut. Lindzi is a self-made, sharp, talented professional who sustains and supports herself. However, Courtney is, ahem, a skinny dipping model. Unfortunately, for America that’s what Ben seemed to be looking for in a wife. Lindzi was sent packing. Ben worried that the feelings “wouldn’t last a lifetime.” These are the ebbs and flows of The Bachelor. Below, Jesse gives his take on Ben’s big decision and whether he flubbed it, or not.

If the highly publicized dinner date with singer Taylor Swift comes to fruition as merely a friendship, Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow may have 25 hopeful women vying to win his heart instead. The NFL star has been approached to be the next Bachelor, host Chris Harrison revealed on Access Hollywood Live Monday, according to People. Although Harrison apparently joked stating Tebow has already agreed to do the gig, Tebow hasn’t confirmed whether or not he will sign up to pass out roses instead of passing pigskins.
How do you pick and choose a mate when there are a lot of options?

On this week’s episode of The Bachelor, it was time for Ben Flajnik to narrow the girls down to two. The scene for the infamous one-on-one fantasy suite dates was set in Switzerland where Nicki, Lindzi and Courtney had the opportunity to get some alone time with Ben. In the middle of it all, was an unexpected twist. Kacie B. decided to return. She timidly knocked on Ben’s hotel room door and wanted him to give her a reason why he let her go. His reasoning being simply because they were “world’s apart.” Personally, we didn’t think he could muster up the courage to say that her parents were too old-fashioned for his taste (e.g., they were opposed to having their daughter move in with him before she was married). Kacie then continued the conversation by letting Ben know that Courtney was up to no good and could break his heart. This all happened directly following Ben’s one-on-one talk with Courtney about this very issue. Nevertheless, when it came to the final rose ceremony it wasn’t Courtney being sent home; it was Nicki. Sometimes, a man has to do, what a man has to do. And, then there were two! As if we didn’t know who was “winning!” Here’s a look at the weekly Q&A from your resident Bachelor Couple, Ann and Jesse Csincsak:
1. Overall, what did you think of tonight’s episode? What was your favorite part?
Jesse: It’s was very uneventful! I was glad to see Kacie come back; it made it a little more interesting.
Ann: I enjoy watching the show more towards the end because you’re a little more invested in the girls and who goes home and who stays. In the beginning, I don’t care as much about who gets cut!

When Former ‘Bachelorette’ winner Jesse Csincsak treads deep into the Colorado woods, he should bring a few lotto tickets with him. On Friday, February 17, the Breckenridge local was snowmobiling 15 miles in the middle of the backcountry in Vail when he came across a lost mother and her son. Mother, Hilary Skye, and son, Dillon, had been stranded before Jesse came to the rescue. This isn’t the first (or second) serendipitous encounter to sneak up on the professional snowboarder as he’s navigated the trails of the Rocky Mountains. Last year Thomas Pazerunas had also lost his way 15 miles behind the Vail Resort with no cell service until Csincsak helped him.

This week on The Bachelor Season 16 with Ben Flajnik, we were taken to the horse country, the Bible Belt, a Texas-style dress-up party and a mock wedding. Yes, three women and a wedding. Lindzi got to show Ben what it was like to race horses, ride horses and grow up with horses all around her. She said she rode before she even walked. Nikki’s fun-loving spirit led Ben into a Texan cowboy store where they both bought hats and boots and sported being a Texan all day. Ben said it was something that he always wanted to do. Courtney invited Ben not only to meet her family but to meet his future wife (her) in a full-course wedding with an officiant and all. They exchanged vows in what some Twitter followers say was a rip-off of Sex and the City. Overall, the parents seemed down-to-earth and warm towards Ben. However, the one family that didn’t welcome him as easily was Kacie B. Unfortunately, their traditional values and lack of alcohol consumption (after all, Ben is a wine maker) probably got in the way of his feelings for her. At the end of the episode, she was the one who was sent packing.
Here’s this week’s Q&A commentary from Ann and Jesse Csincsak:
3 Welcome to Belize. This week’s episode of ‘The Bachelor’ had quite a few break downs. Lindzi gets a Blue Lagoon type date with Ben and they spend their date hunting for food caveman style. They end the date by writing a fairy tale love note, putting it in a bottle and sending it out to sea (cheesy). Nikki has break down #1 complaining that she needs a one-on-one with Ben.
Breakdown #2 was in full swing by Courtney after she becomes enraged at her ‘boyfriend’ for betraying her by giving Emily a date card. Unfortunately for Emily, there was absolutely no on-air chemistry between them although viewers had to witness their disgusting display of tongue action (gross)!

When Emily Maynard and The Bachelor‘s, Brad Womack, ended their engagement, she had absolutely no intention of being the the star of the next season of The Bachelorette. But, next month, that’s exactly what she’ll be doing. “I had no intentions of ever being the next Bachelorette. I genuinely meant that,” said Maynard. “I feel like the biggest hypocrite because I said that, and now I’m doing it.” According to People, though she knows dating on TV can work, she admits to being scared about diving into the reality TV dating pool once again. The blonde beauty also admits that it’s difficult to date as a single mom. The show will be filmed in Charlotte, North Carolina, where Maynard is raising her 6-year-old daughter as well as in other locations.

The drama shifted to Puerto Rico this week, where Ben and the remaining ladies visited the island of Vieques. Nicki got the first date, but with a downpour of rain and no umbrellas, the duo was forced to do some shopping for “authentic” and dry Puerto Rican threads. Ben gave Nicki a rose that evening.
For the group date, Ben took the ladies to the historic Roberto Clemente Stadium where they were divided into two teams and went head-to-head in a baseball game. The winning team would enjoy a wonderful beach party with Ben. Kacie B.’s team won and she got the group rose that night but directly following it, Courtney stole Ben at fourth base with some baseball playing of her own.

Drama continues in Park City, Utah where Rachel had the first one-on-one date with Ben and got Rose 1. Then came the group date where the girls rode on horseback through the woods, and spent an afternoon fly fishing. Ben was testing their ability to be in the country and in a group setting. Unfortunately for some (Samantha Levey), it didn’t work out in her favor. Tensions mounted when Courtney Robertson pulled Ben away and actually caught a fish in the process! Then, she stole Ben again and told him that she needed reassurance where she won his heart and got Rose 2. While she was gloating, Samantha was told by Ben that she was too “emotional” and he sent her packing before the Rose Ceremony. The last date and final rose went to the shy and reserved Jennifer Fritsch (then again, Ben did vote her best kisser). On their one-on-one, the new Bennifer plummeted into a 300 foot crater together. After it was over, they ran through pouring rain to an outdoor concert by country singer, Clay Walker and she was given date Rose 3. With Samantha already gone, there was only one more person to eliminate that evening. Say good-bye to Monica Spannbauer. And then there were 12.
1. What are your initial thoughts about Rachel?
Jesse: I think Rachel is down to earth; she really seemed to like the lake and canoe date. I think it’s pretty rad that she is normal and can enjoy the simple stuff.
Ann: My initial thoughts were: I love her bangs. But passed that, I haven’t seen or heard enough from her to form an opinion. I have barely noticed a lot of the girls this season, because they either don’t talk very much, or they are going to be cut early on, so the producers aren’t showing them too often.
13 In a move that would be the first-of-its-kind in reality television history, former contestants of the ABC hit reality television shows, ‘The Bachelor’ and ‘The Bachelorette’ have spoken to attorneys and are in discussion to file a class action lawsuit, against creators Mike Fleiss and Elan Gale. This information was disclosed to us in an exclusive interview today by former contestant and ‘Bachelorette Season 4’ winner, Jesse Csincsak.

The city of San Francisco provided the back-drop for what ended up being one of the most dramatic episodes in recent history of The Bachelor. Ben and Emily climbed to the top of the Golden Gate Bridge, Brittney left before her one-on-one date with the winemaker, Shawntel (the funeral director from Brad Womack’s season) re-surfaced to confess her crush, and one of the ladies fainted at the rose ceremony! Wow, what an episode. To help us make sense of the craziness, here are insights from Bachelor experts Jesse and Ann Csincsak.
1. We saw Ben’s relationships with several of the women blossom this week. Who do you think that he had the best connection with this week?
