LIVE SHOW BLOG:
Sean meets the ladies in Montana – the prettiest place Sean says he’s ever seen.

ONE ON ONE DATE WITH LINDSAY
Lindsay got the only one on one date of the week.  Sean takes her on a ‘bad ass’ helicopter ride. Sean admits that Lindsay almost got sent home the first night for wearing a wedding dress but he’s glad he’s kept her around. The two go for a ride at National Glacier Park.

Sean says he and Lindsay have a strong connection. Lindsay shares that her father was absent during most of her teen years because he was a war sergeant. The two kiss by the fire. Sean says all the pieces of the puzzle came together tonight: He realizes Lindsay is seeking security in getting herself a family because she had an absentee father. He tells her she is going to be an incredible wife and offers her a date rose.

Sean says they click really well together and it’s two personalities gelling well together. Sean has a surprise for Lindsay in downtown Whitefish. “The entire town of Whitefish has come out to see the concert of Sarah Darling” who is singing ‘Home to Me’ and ‘Bad Habit’. Sean says he has the perfect combination of best friend and love interest in Lindsay and he can’t see how that can be beat.

GROUP DATE:
Sean who admits he doesn’t necessary need an outdorsy kind of girl, he’s like to find a girl who can wear sexy heels one day and rough it out the next. The girls have to go through a Montana Wilderness Relay Race. The first team to milk and drink goat’s milk will win and get extra time with Sean. The random draw puts Selma, Desiree, Robyn, Sarah on one team against AshLee, Daniella, Lesley and Catherine. The first team of Selma, Desiree, Robyn and Sarah win with Desiree drinking the goat milk for the team. The rest of the women head back to the mansion all pissed off. The winners spend more time with Sean.

Sean decides it’s too late in the game to send women home as he needs to spend more time with them. So, he sends Chris Harrison back to the mansion with a date card for the losing team. The losing women go back to the party. The women who won, especially Desiree who drank the goat’s milk were pissed. Geez, now Tierra is even pissed because ‘the losers’ get to spend more time with Sean when she is patiently waiting for the dreaded two on one date. She decides she needs to talk to Sean and crashes his party.

She said she came all the way to Montana to spend time with Sean and asks why she’s getting a two on one. “I am a real person, I don’t want to be mislead, I have feelings, I feel like a two on one is a slap in the face…hope you make the right decision tomorrow.” The two make out. REALLY SEAN????

After Tierra leaves, Sean spends time with the other women including Catherine who all Sean wants to do is cuddle with. Catherine also says she has a permanent smile when she’s with Sean.

Daniela gets the group date rose after crying to Sean about feeling vulnerable. Robyn voices the winning team’s frustrations for someone on the losing team getting the rose.

TWO ON ONE DATE WITH TIERRA AND JACKIE
Sean takes the ladies horse back riding. Jackie did the unthinkable: She bad mouthed Tierra to Sean. When the two had time alone, she told Sean that Tierra checked out a guy at the airport and said he was cute. Don’t these women learn?? This probably sealed Jackie’s fate!

Sean is confused as to whom should get the rose. Sean says Jackie will love a man with all her heart and Tierra comes with drama. So, he takes Tierra for a talk. “I just want to be loved and love back…I have the biggest heart. And I am just scared.” Tierra then opens up that she loved a man for a long time through rehab and he died in 2009. She said she lost her best friend then so she’s afraid to get close to people. “I am the way I am because I am scared of losing someone again.”

Sean says he has to be true to his heart and gives the date rose to Tierra. “Jackie, I am so sorry, can I walk you out,” said Sean.

Sean then takes Tierra to a surprise of fireworks by a fire.

ROSE CEREMONY
Sean walks by and sees Tierra and Robyn going at it. Sean is shocked to see Tierra so mad. He needs to “get to the bottom of this.” Sean takes Tierra aside and asks her what is the matter. “They’re attacking me…all of them. For no reason.”

Sean asks Lesley privately if Tierra has done anything directly to affect Sean. She says that’s a hard question to answer. She says Tierra is cold to everyone in the house and has no relationships with anyone in the house.

Sean is all confused again. He gets all dramatic on Chris Harrison and says for the first time, he does not know if his wife is in the mansion.
