This is how it could backfire:
They could make RE look like a man ho and make Yawn look like a yokel who just fell off the tomato cart--a blonde Jethro Bodine.
TPTB are not known for making the main look good. And honestly, what men talk about how to kiss properly and give lessons to each other. I'm getting the heebie jeebies thinking of this scenario. The machine may have sold this to RE/Yawn as a joke and snarky, but I'm sure the joke will be on them.

If they practice on each other...Sean doesn't have much hair to grab! giggling

Pray, pray, pray that RS is wrong. I just don't see how this can play out well - unless they bring in Jimmy Kimmel to help them out. Even then lets face it we saw all the men trying to act last season and if it is a skit...that makes me frightened.
Don't Dudes Don't.... giggling

For those that think I'm serious this is a joke. But if they insist on bringing on previous castmembers, I say reuniting SeanJohn is an excellent, excellent choice. You got that Fleiss.

SeanJohn- I like that combo...

We know they won't bring in Doug ... giggling

Poor Doug, i liked him..

Speaking of Doug.... What if???
The kissing lessons make more sense. Although, I think they need to start the lesson with the primer before that.

Anyway, I know, I know... it is Sean ( and I think he will be good) and it doesn't make sense re fan following to have anyone else.
But the kissing lessons just don't fly and make me a little suspicious..
The general public makes up the biggest ratings, I can't believe they would have focused on Sean's kissing being substandard. So if they bring Arie on to teach him- won't the general public be saying WTF is going on?
Typical Fleiss, doesn't care if it makes sense....

Ok, you make good points! I don't understand why they feel as if they have to have them discuss or do anything! If they wanted to bring Arie in for his viewers...do an update on him. Yes, their acting skills were pretty bad! If that's any indication of what's to come, I may skip that segment! giggling

It would be like one of those scenes from twilight. They would be fighting out their dominance over who is against the wall. Smashed from one wall to the other. giggling

I am hoping that RS has gotten some bad information here. And I honestly can't imagine a scenario where Sean would agree to this idea....unless you are onto something here, and it was done as a skit that will be shown on Jimmy Kimmel and not the Bachelor. Brad, Emily and Ben all did some pretty funny stuff for Kimmel's late night show, and a lot of it was a spoof on many of the tabloid stories and things that were being written about them on Twitter and by bloggers (like Ashley S) after each episode aired. This would make more sense to me. Maybe someone here on this board can use their sleuthing skills and get to the bottom of this.

And I imagine if Arie had been the lead instead, in a similar effort to capture the viewership of Sean's fans, they probably would have Sean come on Arie's premiere and show him how to work out, which would be equally inappropriate. Shame on them.

I actually like the idea. I think it could be done purely for laughs without making either guy look bad. I like a guy who has a good sense of humor about himself, so if they pull it off (and I think Sean and Arie will do fine), I think it could be endearing.
