"The Bachelor star Sean Lowe has admitted that it was a &amp;quot;rash&amp;quot; decision to give Tierra a rose this week. Tierra, who has been a source of controversy among the other women throughout this season, picked up a rose at this week&amp;#039;s group date after telling Lowe that she wanted to leave.  &amp;quot;I remember having such a nice night before running into Tierra,&amp;quot; Lowe wrote in his blog for People. &amp;quot;I knew she was having a tough time with the other women and needed more reassurance than anyone else. &amp;quot;What I didn&amp;#039;t know was how much the other women disliked her. For the most part, Tierra was all smiles around me, so I didn&amp;#039;t know she was showing the women another side. When I found her crying on the steps, I knew she doubted whether or not she should be there.&amp;quot; Lowe - who gave Tierra a rose straight after meeting her on the first night - continued: &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t know what it was about Tierra, but I definitely felt a connection with her that goes back to the first night and I didn&amp;#039;t like seeing her upset. Once again, I did my best to reassure her of my feelings.&amp;quot;  However, Lowe appeared to hint that it may not have been the wisest decision to hand Tierra a rose. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ll admit my decision to give her the rose was a symbolic Band-Aid,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;I wanted Tierra to be happy and I wanted to fix whatever was wrong with her. Isn&amp;#039;t that what boyfriends are supposed to do? &amp;quot;It was obviously a rash decision that was not received well by the other women. But please keep in mind I had not seen the Tierra they had.&amp;quot; The Bachelor continues on Monday (February 4) on ABC. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
