While we still can’t get over how much we miss Ashley Palenkas and her bondage antics (memo to Mike Fleiss, cast her on Bachelor Pad 4), we’re starting to fall in love with Sean Lowe’s Bachelor Season 17 ladies more and more. From the rarely-seen but always adorable Catherine Giudici to the made-to-be-a-reality-star Tierra LiCausi, the girls are the reason we come back for...

The Bachelor Season 17 returns tonight at 8 PM EST, with two hours of Sean Lowe’s abs, girl-on-girl drama, and some frolicking on the beach. Yes, Sean Lowe will be shirtless, and the girls will be catty — Kacie Boguskie even goes so far as to pull Sean aside and give him a heads up (more on that later). Join us for a wild romp on ABC’s dime as we live blog this episode!

There are so many types of hot messes living in Bachelor Mansion. Ladies who get drunk and proposition Sean Lowe (guilty!), ladies who spend hours sad-facing into the roaring fire pit, and — our personal favorite — ladies who sit quietly in the corner plotting the doom of their competitors with the friendly voices in their heads.

Which brings us to our imaginary best friend ...

Sean Lowe's life is so hard. Not only is his best friend a mysterious rock formation in California, he's been kidnapped by Chris "Big Pimpin" Harrison and forced to make out with 26 vaguely intoxicated strangers. Clearly, Captain America needs our help.
