Sean #1: Working Girls

The daughters and I had a great time over the holidays previewing this year's bachelor bait. The game involved looking at the pictures and guessing the names and professions. (Bonus points for anticipating custom spellings even if the name was unrelated.) And by "professions" we're talking about the real-world description of the jobs, not the Bachelor resume version. That means "retail consultant" = "Sales clerk at The Buckle." The classic example? "VIP cocktail waitress," which of course we all learned meant "Hooter's Girl." So tonight, when we're going to meet 25 girls/crazies whose names I won't remember, let's make it interesting by trying to figure out what each one REALLY does for her job:

Desiree: Bridal stylist = Sales clerk at David's
Tierra: Leasing consultant in Denver = paperwork processor at a Burt Chevrolet
Robyn: Oilfield account manager = (this appears to be a real office job I don't understand). Oo--high risk move with the back handsprings
Diana: Salon owner in Utah = doing the same thing as every third Utah girl, and a Utah crazy is apparently a casting requirement
Sarah: advertising executive = one-armed graphic designer
Ashley P (50 Shades of Gray girl): hairstylist = hairstylist, obviously. (Keep a clicker going for hair and makeup girls.) Aaaaand...here's our first-night drunk!
Lesley: political consultant = secretary at a lobbying form
Kristy: model (Oh wait--FORD model) = professionally in love with herself
AshLee: professional organizer = works at The Container Store (think there might be control issues here?) Nevertheless, I see a solid candidate here. She's a good Christian Texas girl, right down to the frilly spelling on  her name. They'll connect.
Jackie: cosmetics consultant = Clinique counter girl. At Macy's.
Selma: real estate developer = Dad bought her a house that she's planning to flip
Leslie H: poker dealer = poker dealer
Daniella: commercial casting associate = file girl at a casting agency for local furniture store commercials
Kelly: cruise ship entertainer = I think she tans for a living. She certainly doesn't sing.
Katie: yoga instructor = yoga instructur
Taryn: health club manager = Katie's boss
Catherine: graphic designer = posts a lot of pictures on Facebook
Lacey: grad student = 6th-year senior
Paige: Jumbotron operator = unemployed (seriously, how many hours a week can you fill running a Jumbotron?)
Amanda: Fit model = consistent size-6 girl who tries on stuff to make sure the arm holes are in the right place
Kerianne: Entrepreneur = ooo...this one could be ANYTHING. What's she hiding? Or could it be as boring as just "unemployable"?
Brooke: Community organizer = towel-checker at the Y. (Actually, she carries herself like somebody who actually makes things happen, so I'm being straight-up petty. But honest about it.)
Ashley H: Fashion model = trunk show model at Nordstrom
Lauren: Journalist = blog consolidator at YourHub
Lindsay: Substitute teacher = I don't care. That bride costume made everything else irrelevant. And made her tonight's Sad Drunk. Those substitute jobs might start getting scarcer after this show.
Kacie B: What the...?? Poor, dear, likable girl already went over Crazy Falls in a barrel on Ben's season, so I'll be pretty surprised if Sean gives her much leash. Oh--profession. I guess that would be "bachelorette" now. And awkward dress-tugger. Can someone please give her some tips on "effortlessly" sexy?
Bachelor Bartender: Not an actual contestant, but the person I most want to meet. This year's Opening Night Drunk Collapse from Ashley P. got me wondering what's in those wine glasses, because you'd have to drink a LOT of wine to get that wasted. But I clearly hadn't been paying attention: Jill pointed out that she's seen mixed drinks, including lots of fruity stuff sucked down through a straw, so...who's keeping the bar? Where is it? And most importantly, what stories can HE/SHE tell??? I think that's where you'd get the most accurate predictions for final four.

So...what are YOUR picks? Final four? Dare to pick Sean's actual future ex-fiancee? More insights? This is looking like a first-rate season!
