Sean excerpts from The Bachelorette Inside: Week 4 (Today's teleconference)

by: Lauren Wang KITV-TV

I also had an amazing opportunity to talk to Sean this morning. He is one of the top contenders and I can totally see why Emily is keeping him around!

He said that on next Monday’s episode we will really see how his feelings for Emily start to develop. It was so sweet to hear him talk about the date and how it all just came together. On that date, it was the first time that he could picture his life with her (Wait, seriously? Will you marry me)?

Sean said that Emily and him connected on multiple levels in London and that they both have the same morals (faith and family being the most important).

Sean was not part of next week’s group date so he said he missed all the drama with the “baggage” comment. He did say if he overheard a comment like that, he would have told Emily who it was. I can’t wait to see who said it! Sean said that when the guys came back from the date they couldn’t stop talking about Emily and how she handled the situation. The guys said Emily was in that “protective role” and they liked to see a different side of her.

Sean stayed out of the man drama by not revealing any details of his alone time with Emily and he also didn’t listen to any of the guys when they talked about their time with her (now that’s a smart guy). He also said that he knows the guys that were there for the right reasons and the ones that weren’t (that will be revealed throughout the next couple of episodes).Sean wasn’t originally going to do "The Bachelorette" until he heard it was going to be Emily (awww how sweet and what a cute love story to tell if she chooses him).

He said that if in the end it isn’t him and Emily, he feels that Jef, Arie or Doug would be great fits for her as well.After talking to Sean, I am more curious than ever to see how the sparks fly between Sean and Emily.

I wonder how come none of Emily's friends picked Jef for her when they were asked at the park who their top 2 choices were for her? I noticed most of them picked Sean for her. I wonder if it had to do with their faith being similar?

Its official, this man has no flaws. Can anyone say a bad thing about him?

He doesn't use enough sunblock? No, seriously, he's a great guy!

Actually he is pretty tanned. Perhaps that is his flaw.

I'm beginning to think he is...I want some dirt on him...STAT!

And instead of dirt, his exes are perpetuating the impression of his utter perfection. :laughingoutlou

This is going to be a perfunctory tabloid update though there's actually a lot of Emily in the tabloids this week. I don't think there are any huge revelations though.
...
Star has a 2 page positive story in which Sean's ex praises him as the perfect guy.

What is the world coming to when we can't even get dirt from the exes?

Thought I'd post the entire interview here so that folks that don't visit other thread have a chance to read. All I can say is


Sean's Interview:


Can you give us a preview of your date with Emily? Was it what you thought it would be?
"Up
until London, I knew that Emily was a great girl and I knew we had
connected on several different levels, and this was the first
opportunity I had to spend the entire day with her. I'm not ashamed to
say it was one of the best days of my life. We did some really cool
things. We did some things a normal tourist isn't able to do. We got to
tour the city in a double decker tour bus, it was really awesome. And I
think London, that particular day, was the day that I knew I had really
strong feelings for Emily."

A few weeks back, you really impressed Emily's friends in Charlotte. Do you think that influenced her decisions?
"I
think it probably influenced her decisions a little bit more. I think
your friends are a reflection of who you are, and so since I made a good
impression on her friends I think she can trust their opinion, and if
they told her good things about me I think she probably took that to
heart. So yeah, I think that probably influenced her a little bit."

How strong are your feelings for Emily now?
"Before
my London date I knew that we had connected on a couple of different
levels and I knew she was a great girl and possessed all these great
qualities. But London it really all comes together and that's where I
start to develop these real feelings and that's the first time I think
that I pictured myself being with her in the future. And that was
awesome. That was great. That was like the kick-off, so to speak, of our
relationship."

What do you feel like you have in common with Emily? What values do you share?
"I
think we have a lot in common. My priorities are faith and family -
those are the top two and I believe those are the top two for Emily as
well. And I think that's something we bonded over. I let her know from
the very beginning that I'm not here for my 15 minutes of fame by any
means, and ultimately I want to live a simple life and simple to me is
just being surrounded by loved ones and raising a family together and
loving my wife forever. And I think she could tell from the very
beginning when I said those words that I was being genuine and I meant
it. I mentioned my family several times and I feel like that's the kind
of life they live and that's what I want to model my life after. So on
those two points I think that's what we really connected on."

Are there any guys in the house who don't share those values with Emily?
"I
don't know if I can beat on anybody's faith, but as far as family
values goes, I think there's a lot of great guys that share those same
values and there's probably some in the house that don't. And I think
those guys will be revealed as the season goes on. But you've got great
guys in the house like Doug - Doug definitely puts his family first and
John Wolf is the same way. And Charlie was the same way as well, and
Travis and Alejandro. I think there's a lot of people that share that
same outlook."

You've spoken about how special London is - would you go back for a wedding or honeymoon if things worked with Emily?
"You
know, I would absolutely go back to London. London was so romantic and
it's just full of so much culture and history. I could see a wedding
there if that were in the future, or a honeymoon. Sure."

Did you
realize going on the show that Emily would be the Bachelorette, and that
being with her would mean taking on a father role? Or did you not know
until you spoke with her?
"No, I knew going into this show that Emily
was going to be the Bachelorette. I knew that she had a daughter. I
didn't watch her season but of course friends and family were quick to
fill me in on the situation. And honestly, that was nothing that I had
ever thought about entertaining in my life - I never imagined that I
would have the opportunity to possibly be a stepfather one day. But
after getting to know Emily and especially after we connected in London,
that seemed like it was a very real possibility and I was certainly
open to it."

We're in for some explosive moments on Monday (June
11) when one of the guys refers to Emily's daughter Ricki as "baggage".
It looks like Doug's the one to tell Emily - was there a discussion
about whether you should tell her and who should do it?
"In that
particular instance, that occurred on the group date and since I had the
one on one date that week I was not there. But my hat's off to Doug.
Doug, he's a father and he knows what it's like obviously to raise a
child and to protect that child. And he felt like it was his place to
step in and tell Emily the truth that, 'Hey, this guy is saying this
over here'. And I think that Doug was trying to protect her. So like I
said, my hat's off to Doug and I think the person who said it, he was
kind of revealed to be the guy that he is. I think maybe he fooled Emily
for the first few weeks but his true colors showed that day."

Was the baggage comment made on the group date?
"I'm
not sure when the statement was made. I know I wasn't around when it
was made. But yeah, it was revealed on the group date so I was not
there."

Were you surprised when you heard that this person had made the baggage comment?
"I
wish I could say it did surprise me but it really didn't. I got a good
feeling for the guys that were there for the right reasons, who wanted
to get to know Emily and know more about her and connect with her. And
then there were guys that simply weren't there to do that. So I think he
revealed himself as one of those guys who was not there for the right
reasons."

On this week's show, Emily said to Chris Harrison that
some of the guys had warned her about others, but without revealing any
names. Why do you think the men were reluctant to name names up to that
point?
"You know, that's a really good question. I think that if I
overheard a guy say something as strongly as, 'I think Ricki is
baggage', I definitely would have told Emily. There's also a lot of
chatter among guys. You can call it locker room talk, call it whatever
you want, that I think you have to take with a grain of salt, and a lot
of guys might say something that they don't necessarily mean or they're
joking around in the moment. But if I felt like someone said something
that would ultimately be harmful to Emily if she were to develop
feelings for that person, I would definitely step in and say something."

We've
only really seen Emily's sweet side to this point, but understandably
she gets really angry in Monday's installment. What was it like seeing
that side of her?
"Well, like I said, I wasn't on the date so I
didn't get to see that side of her, but the guys came home and they
would not stop talking about it! I think everyone was really impressed
with the way she handled it and they liked seeing that side of her. She
played that protector role for her daughter, obviously. But yeah, I
think the guys loved seeing that side of her. You can only be cheery and
happy for so long and eventually you're going to have to show you have
this other side, and Emily certainly did that that night."

Charlie has said that he thinks you'd be the best match for Emily. How do you feel about that?
"You
know, I'm humbled and I'm very flattered. Everybody thought it was a
shock that Charlie went home, because I thought Charlie was such a great
guy and he had such a good heart and he's got so many great things
going for him, it surprised me when he went home in Bermuda. But as for
that comment, I'm definitely flattered and humbled and I think a lot of
Charlie as well."

There does seem to be a lot of drama in the house but you largely seem to stay out of it. How did you manage to do that?
"That's
a good question. Going into it, I kind of had a game plan of I didn't
want to tell guys any of my intimate details that I had with Emily or
any of the intimate moments that we shared and I really didn't want to
listen to any from other guys because I feel like the time Emily and I
had together was a special time and I almost feel like you take away
from that if you share it with all the guys in the house. So with that
being said, I didn't get involved with that side of the drama with the
guys when it came to Emily. And outside of that I'm not a dramatic guy
and I'm the type of guy that I pretty much get along with everybody, so
I'm level-headed and I feel like I'm a cool guy that's laid back. And
drama's just not my thing so I didn't get entangled in it too much."

Is there any other drama coming up outside of the baggage incident?
"Outside
of the baggage incident, I don't know about any other guy drama. I can
say that Monday is going to be an awesome day. It's going to be awesome
for me to go back and watch it because like I was mentioning earlier,
this is where I think you're going to start to see sparks fly between
Emily and me. This is kind of where we kick off our relationship. That's
what I'm most excited to see. As far as the guys go, I know everyone
was kind of fired up over the baggage comment but I don't know if
there's any other guy drama outside of that."

There was a lot of
discussion on this week's show about age and maturity, and Doug and
Chris had a bit of a clash. Whose side were you on?
"I was kind of
sitting in the middle of that conversation and I kind of lean towards
Chris's side. I believe your age is not necessarily indicative of how
mature you are. At the same time, I think Chris probably could have
handled that whole situation a little better than he did, which may be
an indication of his immaturity! For the most part I stayed out of it
but I don't believe because you're older it necessarily makes you wiser.
I think I made the comment in the episode that we should just have a
bunch of guys that are 40 because they might be more wise than everybody
here. So I would probably lean towards Chris's side of the argument."

Tony,
who left the show last week, said that some of the guys might have
thought they were ready to be a father but weren't really. Do you agree?
Was the guy who made the baggage comment the only one not ready, or
were there others?
"I definitely think the guy who made the baggage
comment is not ready by any means! That's a tough question. It's hard to
say whether someone's going to be ready or not. You really have to get
down to the root of the man to figure that out and I'm not sure if I can
say this guy's ready and this guy's not, because there may be some guys
who appear ready who, put into that situation, could buckle under the
pressure. I'm not sure. But I think most guys have the right intentions
and they honestly believe that they could step into that role if they
were called."

Did you think any of the guys were there for the
wrong reasons? We saw Ryan speaking about how he was interested in being
on The Bachelor and thought he was destined for bigger things.
"Ryan
is such an interesting guy, and when we first moved into the house in
Charlotte, Ryan and I bonded right off the bat. We had a lot of things
in common - we're both from the South, and we grew up playing football -
and we bonded. After spending time with Ryan, I think he may be a
little bit misunderstood. I know he's got strong opinions and he often
sticks his foot in his mouth and there's no excuse for that but at the
same time I think his heart's in the right place. Maybe he just doesn't
know the best way to express how he's feeling or what he's thinking but
ultimately I think, you know, is he there for the right reasons? I don't
know. I think we might have to watch, and I'm anxious to see some of
the behind-the-scenes stuff as far as what Ryan's saying in his
interviews and stuff to really get a better feel for whether or not he
was there for the right reasons."

How did you decide to go onto The Bachelorette? Was Emily a part of your decision?
"Yeah!
My sister and my brother-in-law submitted my name and I got a call from
the casting department, and at first I was totally against it and I
didn't think I was going to do it. And the casting director said, 'Well
why don't you send in your video that you have to send in, and if you
change your mind you can always go forward'. So I sent in the video and
not long after that I found out it was Emily, and that was the tipping
point for me, when I found out it was Emily. I'd heard so many good
things about her. That's why I decided to do the show."

This is
probably a hard question to answer considering your feelings for Emily,
but if you couldn't be with her, which guy do you think is the best
match?
"[laughs] You're right - that's a tough question! I think
there are a lot of great guys in the house. I would say Doug has such a
sweet genuine heart that he could easily step into that situation and
ultimately make her happy. I think Arie's a great guy, I think Jef's a
great guy, I think John Wolf's a great guy. Obviously, I'm a little
biased - I think I might be the best! But there are some really good
guys there."

What a great interview and so bizarre too!!

[Laurabadora14]

As much as I want Sean to be F1, there is one thing I REALLY hope doesn't happen. I really hope Emily doesn't let him propose before she turns him down. Didn't that happen to Ben? That really irks me when that happens. It will break my heart if that happens.

That is the worst. A small part of me will never forgive Ashley for not pulling Ben up before he could go through with it.
