‘The Bachelor’: Ben Flajnik, Emily Maynard react to Sean Lowe’s premiere

Sean Lowe has taken the reigns officially now as “The Bachelor,” and this has of course led to us getting some comments from some of the men and women who have come before him in this experience. Being the star of this show puts you in a very elite group: there are only so many people who truly know what this experience is like, and relate to the stress of making big decisions, dealing with the reality TV aspect of the show when it comes to producers and cameras, and trying to find ways to not look like an awful person when you break someone’s heart.

Check below to see what many of these people, some of whom are still getting over their own time on the show, have to say about Sean is doing so far:

Ben Flajnik (who also had Kacie Boguskie on his season) – “Who’s watching Sean Lowe as #thebachelor tonight? I’m happy to hand over the torch to such a good dude. Good luck man, hope the journey was worth it.”

Emily Maynard (who of course broke Sean’s heart) – “Watching the 1st episode of The Bachelor.You all are going to love it! @SeanLowe09 is a great bachelor!”

Ashley Hebert – “I’m excited for @SeanLowe09, he seems like such a honest guy! He’s totes there for the right reasons!”

Ali Fedotowsky – “LOVE what Sean did when Tierra got out of the Limo. One of my favorite Bachelor moments ever! Love at first sight? #Bachelor”

As for some folks who are keeping quiet, they include Jake Pavelka (who is much too concerned with flying jets at the moment) and the mysterious man known as Brad Womack (who is probably the most private reality TV star in human history).

Do you think that once the dust has cleared, Sean will be remembered as a great “Bachelor”? If you want to read our full review of Monday night’s new episode, you can do so over at the link here.
