If you answered mostly “D”: Grab the final rose and give it to Sean. He would ask followers to tweet him pics during his show, and he’d choose one and call that person on the pholne. Talk about taking an online experience offline! I’m sure he’s made the day of more than one lucky bachelorette. Too bad my pic never won…no joke on that one. Still bummed.
