Bachelor's "Women Tell All": AshLee Attacks "Frat Boy" Sean Lowe, Tierra Reveals Engagement, & Desiree is "Not Mad" at her Brother
On ABC's "Women Tell All" segment of the "Bachelor" that premiered on Monday night, the women that Sean Lowe previously rejected on his season of the hit reality show sit down with host Chris Harrison and spill everything!
Some of this "everything" includes second runner up AshLee Frazier revealing that Sean, who she compared to a "frat boy", told her he didn't have any feelings for the remaining two contestants, the dramatic "Tierrarist" (Tierra) showing America more of her "sparkle" with her new engagement ring, Desiree telling Harrison she's not mad at her brother who cost her a spot in the finale, plus many more shocking moments. Here's a quick recap if you didn't get a chance to sit through the two hour ABC segment.
The rejected girls were welcomed back by ABC's favorite host Chris Harrison. Those in attendance for WTA included: Ashley P., Diana, Brooke, Daniella, Jackie, Kacie, Leslie H., Kristy, Taryn, Katie, Amanda, Selma, Robyn, Sarah, Desiree, Lesley M., and AshLee -- aka all the contestants that Sean sent packing except Tierra, whose "sparkle" will get its own very special entrance later in the show. Also excluded from the "Women Tell All" were the final two women left battling for Sean's heart: Catherine and Lindsey.
After a brief video recap of the season's craziest, cattiest moments, talk turns to the women's "common enemy," the contestant everyone loves to hate, Us Weekly explains. Tierra takes the spotlight with her infamous uncontrollable "eyebrow" and tries to defend her dramatic moments on the show including the hypothermia incident and her big trip down the stairs.
"It's difficult for me, because I light up in a room, especially with people I'm comfortable with. And when I walk into a room, I bring this joy and this smile and I'm happy," she says. "But with people who...don't give me a chance to have that light and to show my personality, they immediately judge me based off of what I look like instead of the inner person, the heart I have, the good family I come from, and all my morals that I have as well."
Tierra blames the other girls not liking her from the start of the season on Sean giving her the first rose upon her entrance to the mansion, which put an "immediate target on her back."
Highlights from the girls firing back at the sparkling "Little Miss Nevada,"as Tierra acclaims, include Selma's "Ya gotta hide your crazy" and Lesley's "Your sparkle didn't sparkle that big!" Robyn also seems to speak for the group when she says, "I'm sitting here at "Women Tell All," mad all over again!" Clearly not many feelings have changed since filming the show, and the rest of the girls continue to call Tierra out on being fake and unfriendly throughout the season.
After some more banter between Chris, the ladies, and the "tierrable" drama queen, Harrison shifts the focus from her dramatic fights with the ladies to the dramatic rock on her ring finger. She tells Chris she was engaged in January to her unnamed fiance and found love once Sean sent her home. Although she wouldn't go into much detail, her brother previously told Us that his sister and her future groom, "had been together for three years on-and-off. They had broken up in the summer [before the show]."
Tierra seemed a bit sketchy about her engagement, making viewers question if she was making the whole thing up or if she was secretly dating her fiance while filming the show, since it happened so suddenly after her boot.
After Tierra's one-on-one, Harrison moved on and talked to two of the season's most loved women: Sarah and Desiree. Sarah seemed sad as she re-watched her and Sean's romance unveil, and she confessed that she's worried she'll never find love. "It's the worst to be told you're great, but you're not good enough for me," she tells Harrison. "I always fall back on, 'Well, it must be because I have one arm'.'"
The crowd at WTA loudly cheered for Sarah and showed their love and support for the contestant who admitted she learned "self acceptance" and about being "open and being vulnerable" while on the show.
Following Sarah, Desiree was up next in the hot-seat as she appeared on WTA without her bangs that she rocked during the season. The rumored "Bachelorette" to be, who left with a broken heart in Episode 9, after what she calls "the worst hometown [date] in Bachelor history," thanks to Sean's uncomfortable conversation with her overprotective brother, as Us states. Desiree admits that she wonders if her brother hadn't met Sean in her hometown if things would have turned out differently. Regardless, she states that she is not holding a grudge and isn't angry at her brother who she loves very much.
Lastly, Harrison brings up the most recently eliminated lady, AshLee, who made a dramatic, wordless exit in last week's episode. She refused to say goodbye to Sean and told him to "stay there" when he attempted to walk her out to her car. AshLee, sporting a new hair color and looking beautiful, insists she wasn't "pissed" at Sean, just blindsided by her dismissal.
The personal organizer went on to explain how out of sorts she felt when Sean seemed to eliminate her out of the blue after leading her on the entire time. Watching the season back, she tells Harrison "This guy's not quite who I thought he was. With me, he was just a Southern gentleman. And with the other girls, I mean, hate me for this, but he kind of acted like a frat boy."
Sean's reaction to this statement, as he live tweeted the WTA show on Monday night, was:
"Just for the record, I take great offense to the frat guy comment. I don't even own Sperry's."
When Sean is finally brought out and comes face-to-face with AshLee's accusations, things really get awkward. He attempts to explain why he sent her home, basically blaming it on her uptight nature and states, "There were times when I felt like I couldn't find that laughter with you." He contrasts her to Catherine and Lindsay who are always laughing and joking around. He also reveals that he didn't think he could start a family with her like he could with the other two younger, goofy girls that are still in the running.
AshLee bounces back with a new allegation about things he supposedly said during their overnight date in the "fantasy suite", namely that he had "absolutely no feelings" for the final two women, Lindsay and Catherine. This left Sean being the one completely blindsided. He denied AshLee's accusations stating "I...promise that I didn't say that. I didn't and I wouldn't say that." AshLee however refuses to admit that she's making it up.
Maybe Sean was blacked out in the suite and can't remember saying that? Maybe AshLee is a pathological liar in addition to being a control freak? Maybe Sean just said that so that the alleged born-again virgin could seduce AshLee? America will never know the actual truth, as cameras were unfortunately not allowed in the "fantasy suite" that night.
Sean concluded on the matter with a statement "Obviously I must have said something that misled AshLee, and I'm sorry if I did."
He followed it up with a live tweet that night: "'This Man' would never say that #TheBachelor."
AshLee also tweeted Monday night: "For the record I wish nothing but the best for @SeanLowe09 and his family xoxo.
Mmhmm, whatever you say Ash. As for the rest of the girls, Des in particular, Sean seems to have left off on good terms with them despite the rejection. Now that we got that awkward encounter out of the way, all that's left of this seasons "Bachelor" is for America to find out which of the two remaining ladies is the winner of Sean's heart and will become his lucky wife. Lindsey or Catherine...which woman are you rooting for?
