Arie Luyendyk, Jr. & Sean Lowe Finalists For The Bachelor; Ryan Lochte Out of Contention
by Free Britney at .Arie Luyendyk, Jr. and Sean Lowe are the two finalists for The Bachelor, according to reports, meaning Ryan Lochte won't be rocking his Speedo on the show.
The Olympic swimming champ was actually in the running, however.
"We honestly briefly considered him," a source who works on the show revealed to E! News. "But we are going elsewhere. It's really down to Arie and Sean."
You'll still have a chance to see the athlete on TV this fall, as Lochte booked a gig on 30 Rock as well as 90210. But The Bachelor didn't say #Jeah to Ryan.
Arie Luyendyk, Jr., Sean Lowe and Jef Holm all became fan favorites during the most recent Bachelorette season, comprising Emily Maynard's final three.
Producers are still finalizing their decision, and a casting announcement is expected "soon." Roberto Martinez may or may not still be in the mix as well.

If Sean is the new Bachelor will not be a viewer. People writing these articles have ran Sean down our throats. Big turn off. I will watch Arie, Roberto or someone new. Please no Sean!
remember Sommelsdyke, the netherlands.
Uh oh, Sean's stalker(aka Deb Kalin) is back! If someone is friends with Sean on Twitter, you might want to suggest he gets a restaining order against that crazy chick...
Team Roberto!
Arie and Roberto are both out of the running. SEAN LOWE should be the ideal Bachelor. Its the most obvious choice here. I want to see SEAN LOWE find happiness. What a sweetheart!
