2/18 The Bachelor 17 Episode 8 **West Coast Spoilers**

I'm bettin the letter he gets that they showed in the previews is from Des (or maybe her brother!!!)......

Writing looks like Catherine's (from her twitter account).

Shades of Molly...You are making a huge mistake?

Des...make yourself happy first and then you can make someone else happy.

I hope she does not show up again somewhere...or that that letter he gets at the final rose ceremony, is not from her begging for another chance. Since he didn't pick you...move on...even if they are promising you the next Bette gig.

Sean looking down at the ground trying to force out a tear; he's such a bad, bad actor.

Hasta la manana!

Methinks he was trying like hell not to show his relief at having rid himself of Drug Dealer Brudda.

Next week is Thailand. Isn't that where Ames waxed poetic on the boat with Ashley?

[Eastcoastmom]

Adiós, Winky.

I was bawling like a baby for Des. Then again, if Sean would let her brother stop him from choosing her then he didn't want her bad enough anyway. Either that or he saw a future with a sicko BIL and brushing under the weather rug in-laws and it didn't seem so cheery.

Still . . . he should have sent home Ashley. Better crazy in-laws than crazy wife.

Truth is, the family issues often are a window into the dynamics and dysfunctions of the family as a whole. While every member may not be as affected, some fragment shows up in every member is some way shape or form. We all have our issues and if they are visible in this type situation then you better believe they will be magnified as the relationships become more familiar. The sisters are much more likely to come around than the brother in my opinion.
