Arie would have to learn how first. There's certain things you can get away with doing the same ole thing over and over, but kissing and grabbing the hair every time isn't one of them. That would get old very quickly. I must be the only woman in the world that didn't like how Arie kissed. He slobbered more than he kissed IMHO. : (

Well, Emily was sure into it. She was initiating kisses and slurping up the slobber and begging for more.

Nope, I didn't like his kisses either, sorry NV, but licking your lips before going in for the "kill" just isn't "sexy" in my books. Hugesmile

And to be and equal opportunity poster, I didn't care much for Sean's kisses either. Hoping that I'll be pleasantly surprised when the season airs in January.

From the tweets that talked about "the first branded bachelor" and Kevin O'Leary and Robert Herjavec in the Mansion if Sean's new company made a pitch to the "Shark Tank" or do you think he might have something in the fitness line that was named after him that might have been pitched to the Sharks? If I have time I will try to sleuth it out.

And those that want to see Sean will tune in to see him, no matter who was brought in to help that first episode. And then you have those that just want to watch the bachelor and don't care who it is or who from past seasons will be there. Its a ploy to get more ratings from those that might not watch to begin with, so I just see it as a win-win for them...

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.

The male leads often get treated very well in comparison to the female leads.

how the RE appearance will play out remains to be seen - wasn't the kissing instructions just a joke?

That would be an acceptable way to do it. Kontra would have to know about it, though; she'd have to give permission. It would be fun to get that kind of attention for a fan vid!

Call me naive but after MF admitted in interviews and on Twitter that Ben's season was not their proudest moment and a flop with fans, I expect them to offer something better for Sean. So while they might try to lighten things up a touch I don't expect anything drastic. Otherwise, why pick him when they could have gone the tacky, silly route with Lochte?

Also, Arie has an image to maintain and sponsors that he represents, so I expect his PR agency is doing their job, i.e. looking out for his best interests with re: to his continued association with TB.

Different strokes for different folks; that is what makes the world go round! Seriously, I think it is good that not everyone likes the same style.

I really liked the way Arie's kisses come off on the screen. Sean's didn't work well for me on screen. Jef was nicely in the middle. For me. On screen. Hard to say what I like in real life, since no one filmed the options for me (in my past dating life) and I never got to watch what they look like, laugh out loud

It's now official.

umngirl wrote:Sean Lowe Is the New Bachelor

It's official: Sean Lowe is starring in the upcoming season of The Bachelor, ABC tells PEOPLE exclusively.

The Dallas businessman and entrepreneur won the hearts of fans across the country as he wooed North Carolina single mom Emily Maynard on The Bachelorette last season, landing in the final three. Maynard sent Lowe, the second runner-up, home as she'd fallen head over heels for Utah entrepreneur Jef Holm, accepting his marriage proposal.

"I was standing at that rose ceremony thinking I was going to marry her," Lowe told PEOPLE last July of the heartbreaking moment when Maynard sent him home.

Tuesday's announcement comes after months of speculation, with casting rumors ranging from former Bachelorette Ali Fedotowsky's ex-fiancé Roberto Martinez to Olympian Ryan Lochte.

On the possibility of being the next Bachelor, Lowe told PEOPLE at the time, "I'm an open-minded optimist, and I believe the process can work. If I found my wife, it would be worth it."

Production is already underway for the 17th season of the reality dating show, which will begin airing in January 2013. For more information on the contestants this season, visit ABC.com.
