I thought the following question and answer from Chris Harrison about Sean Lowe and marriage, stated in a recent conference call he had with the press, was interesting:
When I talked to AshLee Frazier earlier this season when she was still in the running with Desiree Hartsock, she said she wasn’t sure the girls remaining were ready for marriage, and it’s become obvious that AshLee was on a different, more mature level than the other girls. Do you think that Lindsay and Catherine really were ready for marriage, particularly with Catherine whom we’ve seen Sean have concerns about how she had plans to move to New York and pursue career goals?
Chris Harrison: I mean, I don’t know if I’m qualified to say, you know, if they’re ready or not. I know you know I definitely think AshLee was. And when I look at that last Rose Ceremony, there was definitely, you know, that old — was it Sesame Street, one of these is not like the other? You know, you could definitely tell she was a standout.
And just what I mean by that is she was a little older, a little more mature, and I think it’s what Sean probably aspires to have someday, and then I think at the end, he realized he’s not quite there yet. You know, I think he would have to come up to her level, whereas with Catherine and Lindsay, I feel like they’re all on the same level, where they are in their life.
They’re a little bit more youthful and just — they are just kind of, I don’t know. It’s a little bit more relaxed when you see them together. They laugh a little bit more at practical jokes and all that. So I think those three are definitely at the same place in life.
And I think it would have been tough for him to make that leap into where AshLee is. So are they all ready for marriage? I don’t know. I really don’t. I hope if that’s the path any of them choose, they’re ready. But you know, we’ll see.
What that all screams to me is that ABC may have picked their Bachelor because of his hot abs and not because he was actually ready for marriage!!! This is a concerning sentiment, because I’d like to think that although the success rates of finding love in 9 weeks on a reality TV show are pretty dismal, that at least THE LEAD that’s chosen for the show is at that point in their lives that they WANT TO GET MARRIED. I mean, if that’s not the case from the get-go, then what’s the point of the whole song-and-dance of the show???
Situation ALERT!!
