Sean Lowe: The Bachelor Star Confirmed!
by Free Britney at .Sean Lowe will star as The Bachelor next season.
While producers and the hunk himself have yet to comment, sources say the casting of the former Bachelorette hopeful is "pretty much done. Sean is our choice."
"We're not in production for another couple weeks," an insider tells E! News, but "I think we finally got everyone to sign off" and Lowe is going to be the guy.
Sean, who finished third on Emily Maynard's season this spring, beat out Arie Luyendyk, Jr., who was the runner-up to Jef Holm. Arie confirms he's out.
"Just to clarify I will not be the next "Bachelor," Arie tweeted.
ABC has also been filming at Sean's home in Texas already, so it's a done deal, even if the network drags it out and won't issue a statement for a while.
Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte was also "briefly considered" by the show's producers for the gig at one point, but was "out of the running" as of last week.
Sean Lowe, a 28-year-old insurance salesman from Texas, former college football player and all-around good guy, was a fan favorite to win Emily's heart.
It didn't work out, but we imagine he'll have ladies lining up to take a shot with him this winter, even if he was considered a little bland by some viewers.

I'm so excited that Sean is the bachelor!!! Finally a guy who I think will take this show in another direction...the direction it should be...finding a wife!!! I hope Sean finds a wife and they are so happy in the end. Congrats SEAN and GOOD LUCK may GOD BE WITH YOU!!! You DESERVE IT!!! Prove all the naysayers wrong that this show is just silly...that you can actually find love like Trista and Ryan. Thanks ABC for casting SEAN LOWE!!! I will be WATCHING EVERY SINGLE WEEK NO matter WHAT!!! I can't wait to see what Sean does with this!!!!
Lol The reason I love to watch my guilty pleasure show is for the HILLARIOUS drama. FACT is......when on vacation in gorgeous locations love is blind....back to reality and your eyes are WIDE open. Lol suddenly your guy/gal isn't so perfect but down right BORING and ANNOYING.
Who cares about personality!!! everybody watches these kind of shows for EYE CANDY value. after a hard working day, some juicy ass Sean lowe on my screen, along with a dildo, pillow and blanket, I'm satisfied. As for personality, that's what writers are for. Reality shows do have writers in case any naive people didn't know already..
Oh the new Canadian The bachelor previews look good, he looks like a really nice guy--and has personality, and cute. I hope I am not embarrassed by the girls!!!
Jimmy T, My thoughts exactly...LOL!!!!!
