‘The Bachelor’ spoilers: Sean Lowe’s overnight dates begin!

Just how close are we to “The Bachelor” Sean Lowe handing out his final rose? While we will not actually end up seeing this ceremony air on TV until March of next year, he is getting set to shoot it now in real time.

This fantastic / romantic news was confirmed in a new Twitter post by executive producer Mike Fleiss, who proclaimed that Sean is now kicking off the overnight dates that traditionally happen with the final three contestants. On this particular season, there are two questions that we really have to ask:

1. Will Sean actually stay overnight with these women? Our leading man has made it clear that he is a devout Christian, and we all know how the religion feels about men keeping certain acts off-limits until after marriage. While we are not trying to say that Sean is going to sleep with every single woman in his final three or anything, as viewers it is hard to know what really happens behind closed doors once the cameras stop rolling.

2. What sort of location will we be at? With Ben Flajnik last year, the show changed it up and went to a somewhat colder climate for the final portion of the season. As for Sean, you better believe it will be somewhere that producers can have him without a shirt on. Even if they are in Antarctica, the show will create a way for him to do a polar bear run in the ocean.

There is still no confirmed premiere date (sadly) for “The Bachelor” just yet, but we’re still willing to bank on it being Monday, January 7 at 8:00 p.m. Eastern time. The only other possibility seems to be the following week. Of course, we’ll keep you posted both on this and more concrete information (but not spoilers of how any of Sean’s ladies actually fare) from the season.
