SHOCKING ANNOUNCEMENT! Sean Lowe has been named the next Bachelor. If you’re actually surprised, you’ve probably been living in a cave. Sean is handsome, sweet, and basically perfect… And although not for me, will make for killer eye-candy all season.
His ladies on the other hand, they mostly look like they’re auditioning for future season of Real Housewives of Dallas. Today, ABC announced 23 of the 25 ladies, which leaves some suspicion looming, and also gives them another PR opportunity in the coming months for a follow-up announcement. Sadly, they didn’t post a Q&A with the ladies yet, so we can’t find out how many of these bitches have slutty tattoos, weird interests or a date of birth that’s barely legal.
What’s most interesting to me, is that four of the contestants are black. We all know that ABC is protecting themselves against another lawsuit, which is swell, but THIS IS SEAN LOWE. C’mon… Let’s be realistic.
*Please note: I’ve received some feedback that this post came off as racist and if I offended anyone, I completely apologize. That was not my intention and I am far from racist. I love people of all color, shapes and sizes. What my point was, is that I can’t picture Sean dating anyone besides a blue eyed, blonde girl from the South. And this cast is heavily swayed by the ABC lawsuit they faced last year.
Apologies in advance to all of you, especially if these ladies are your friends or family. This isn’t going to be nice.
Amanda: Sadly her names come first in the alphabet, because she’s one of the few that don’t have a mean comment coming their way. She’s cute, with a style sense reminding me of Jillian Harris, and so far, I don’t mind her.
Ashlee: Another cute one? And beautiful hair… She has potential.
Ashley H: Thank the lord. For a second, I thought they were all going to be normal. I think Ashley took a wrong turn, bought her necklace at Joyce Leslie, and wound up on The Bachelor.
Ashley P: There are way too many Ashley/Ashlee’s. And therefore, she’s not going to make it.
Brooke: She has a beautiful face, but it’s completely useless when you put on earrings like that. Didn’t anyone learn from Jamie’s mistakes on Bachelor Pad?
Catherine: Is this even legal? This girl should be on the Mickey Mouse Club, not The Bachelor.
Daniella: She is trying to bang all of America with those eyes. She’s screaming prostitute.
Desiree: I must be getting old because all of these girls look so young. Unfortunately, her bangs aren’t as successful as Rachel’s.
Diana: Either Diana is stoned or she has a lazy eye. For her sake, I hope it’s the first. But for viewers, the second. How much fun will that be?!
Jakie: Did someone forget the c in Jackie? Were her parents getting high with Jef’s? At least she drew on a set of eyebrows for her big photo.
Katie: Although Katie looks like she’s channeling her inner-Felicity, and is bordering of electrocution, I kind of dig her funky look.
Kelly: Has she already had botox? Fillers? What’s up with her face? Look for Kelly on Real Housewives of [Insert her random city here] in 2019.
Keriann: What’s wrong with Keriann’s face?
Kristy: She could be pretty, and I appreciate that she matched her eyes to her shirt. Although once she turns to the side, everything could change. Oh, the suspicion!
Lacey: She looks awkward and scared. And possibly 40.
Lauren: A less-pretty Emily Maynard… How perfect!
Leslie: Beautiful, but I can’t see it.
Lindsay: Very cute… I’d put her in my Top 3.
Robyn: Pretty smile, big forehead… Someone needs bangs.
Sarah: Sarah is either older than most of the other girls, or just looks it. Either way, not a good look.
Selma: She’s pretty. That’s all for now.
Taryn: Note to Taryn… There is such thing as “too blonde.” I’m interested in knowing her profession.
Tierra: Who named her? And what’s around her neck?
So, any early favorites? Is there hope for Sean? Leave some comments!
OMG you CRACK ME UP.
Thank you for the end of day laughs!

You sound so, so, so racist — and not at all funny. Just stop.
Sean has dated African American girls in the past. Just because he’s the blonde, all-American Ken doesn’t mean he needs or wants a barbie. I won’t be surprised if he chooses a dark skinned lady.
Jen, this is awesome! Can’t wait for more comments from you come the new season!
Because racism is so funny…. It’s 2012, get with it.
The Selma girl used to date a Texas Ranger so I’m sure she’s there “looking for love”.. not.
You are so funny!! Sean is so hot, they should have found him some prettier girls. Theres a lot of weirdos!
Typically, I’m a big Jens Reality fan, but this entire post came off as extremely racist to me.
I apologize that you feel that way. I didn’t mean ANYTHING racist and I don’t consider myself racist at all. I just don’t see Sean going for anyone besides a blue eyed blonde from the South.
well u sund racist nd how would u assume to know what someone u dont might fancy or not fancy
*sound* *who someone u dont know might find attractive*
uve made me so upst i dont make sence. okay lets try again…..u cant assume to know who someone u dont know might fancy or not fancy.
Damn I’ve never seen such racist commentary. Not funny at all. For the love of ray j? Why? Because she is black? You’re gross. I’m sure she is an educated individual.
Completely in agreement with all the others speaking up against stereo-typing and jumping to racist conclusions about who would LOOK best with a blonde man. My husband is a blonde hair blue eyed Swede and I’m of Japanese descent, suppose you would find us a bad match – we’ve been married over 20 years, are a hot looking couple and have GORGEOUS children- you need to get yourself together woman.
Michelle – I apologize that you feel that way. I didn’t mean ANYTHING racist and I don’t consider myself racist at all. I just don’t see Sean going for anyone besides a blue eyed blonde from the South. If he does, that’s awesome, as I’m sure you and your husband are a beautiful couple with beautiful children.
Gotta agree with the overwhelming consensus that your comments are really ignorant and racist. Just b/c they are black and he’s blond or looks whatever way doesn’t mean they can’t find love w/ each other. If looks were all that was needed for love then all the Madison ave. approved lookers would never get divorced and the real looking people would never have lifelong happy marriages. How did looks work out for Liz Taylor & Marilyn Monroe in the love dept., yet Prince Charles is happier than he’s ever been w/ Camilla than Princess Di (who I love and admired, but they were wrong for each other). You got to find more kindness and tolerance w/in yourself b/c your comments made you ugly.
I apologize that you feel that way and think I seem ugly because of it. I didn’t mean ANYTHING racist and I don’t consider myself racist at all. I just don’t see Sean going for anyone besides a blue eyed blonde from the South.
Why did you change all the commentaries then? Surely if you didn’t mean “ANYTHING racist” you could have just owned the comments and left them be. You just don’t want to be reamed out for being so blatantly ignorant and racist.
Your constant comments about not seeing him with a girl other than blond with blue eyes isn’t helping you either.. Sean has dated a black girl before and has stated multiple times that he’s open to other races. This is my first time on your blog, some of your comments were really funny and I really think you didn’t mean anything by it.. but next time, just look for info before you state this multiple times.
Okay, she has apologized for the comment. I think everyone is missing the main point here. ABC/the Bachelor franchise was sued for discrimination. Season after season, there is NEVER more than one person of color, if at all. Suddenly this year there are 4 African American women. Don’t think that ABC has seen the light…they’re over-compensating and covering their butts. Now that’s disgusting.
Thank you, Susan!
You didn’t even mention Kelly has two different colored eye! Is that natural?!
I was blinded by potential botox. But great observation!
Hilarious commentary as always! Can always count on your blog for a great laugh!
They all look like pretty girls to me. Am I crazy? Don’t get me wrong, I love snarky humor (Reality Steve is my favorite), but this just struck me as a blogger being downright mean. Let’s wait until we can make fun of their crazy antics/personalities! And finally, come on ABC, the time has come to cast someone black as the main bachelor/bachelorette! Welcome to 2012.

The above website has full length photos (well not full length, but from the knees up). That necklace Tierra is wearing? A big turquoise cross. It looks like a craft project from a Christian summer camp. And, yes, those do exist. I attended from ages 10 to 14. Someone’s obviously trying to win Sean over with religion right away. And if you read Reality Steve’s website, you will know that Sarah was born without a left forearm and ABC disguised it in the picture. I’m sure it will be a big “surprise” during the premiere.
If you guys have a problem with what Jen writes on her blog – here’s an idea – don’t read it! Isn’t one of the great things about having a blog to be able to freely express your thoughts? I for one think she’s hysterical and will continue to support her
Jen,
You are no where near as beautiful as Ashley H. Shame on you.
Thanks! xo
You are making fun of people with lazy eyes? wait till you get old and blind.
What in the world happened to Freedom of speech on your own damn blog? I personally don’t get the “racist” part at all. I’ve read Jen’s comments about each girl/lady/woman/bachelorette, three times & find nothing “racist” or “mean”. Jen stated HER opinion, how she sees them now, & that is that. Good Grief! People are quick to throw out that racist tag before they actually R-E-A-D the whole thing & stop to think, this is a Blog not the Ten Commandments or a Bill of Rights! It is simply one person & their opinion. My 11 year old Granddaughter is even wondering why people are labeling Jen being racist. What she really said was “she (Jen) didn’t say she was going to hang or lynch anyone.” Get a grip, it’s a blog. Jen has just as much right to express her opinion on HER blog; as you a “commenter” have the right to post YOUR opinion. One difference — it is Jen’s Blog. ‘Nuff said. Love you Jen!
The only one that is racist here is ABC. How long has this show been on?? They have never had anyone but white people to be bachelors/bachelorettes… Deanna was as non-white as they got… and that’s not saying much. Jen is only pointing out the obvious… ABC got sued by 2 black men, and now 4 black women are on the show. What about latin woman, Indian women, Jewish women… zilch and nada… and until one of those races sues ABC I can promise we wont be seeing them.
Whether or not Sean would marry someone who wasn’t white is another story… although I’m with Jen on this one. Sean is a spiritual boy from the south… and to me ‘nough said.
But hey, he might surprise us!!
Thank you!
Thanks Ag, you are right that ABC has always had white contestants and were recently sued by 2 Black guys BUT although I am sure Jen is a kind sweet person, she has repeatedly said herself that she does not see Sean with anyone but a blond white woman.
That’s her opinion and she has a right to it but it is very interesting that she did not say that she ‘expected’ Sean to end up with a blonde white woman from the South but that she CANNOT SEE HIM with anyone but a blonde white woman from the South simply b/c HE is a blonde white guy from the South. Sorry, but i actually laughed out loud on that one. If that’s not ignorance, I don’t know what is.
People lay off with the racist comments; lately people can’t even speak the obvious without being labelled as racist. I am afro-caribbean/black and I absolutely agree with Jen. I wasn’t surprised that ABC added 4 black cast members, I’m actually surprised that they didn’t just add one or two but FOUR (talk about covering their tails). I really don’t see Sean choosing any of these lovely ethnic ladies, they are only present to “hush” the critics or to raise the ratings. Let us stop being naive and really look at the obvious, this show isn’t very accommodating to minorities and one season of “change” isn’t going to prove anything.
If you feel the need to attack my post, it’s because you probably feel guilty that you agree with what I said but YOU don’t have the “cahoonas” to post what I did! Blessings!
Keep up the entertaining work Jen!!
Completely agree. All the people saying that Jen is racist is just people jumping to conclusions. I think people become so afraid of saying something racist and it is just being ignorant. Yes, we live in an extremely racialized society and it’s sad that this episode is the first one to have black contestants, it is almost comical that ABC thinks they can just get away with this.
Also, I am sure that Sean is completely open to dating a girl of color, this is not the point of her blog.. She was making fun of the fact that Sean is very stereo typical blue eyed blonde Texas boy. It is just funny how they choose Sean’s season to bring in the girls of color. It is just obvious that ABC is trying too hard to not get any more law suits.
Also….. alll of the comments about how mean Jen is for making comments on these girl’s appearances… I was actually expecting more crude comments on the girls then I saw, I was actually let down after I read it. If it were my blog I would probably say much worse things. Its not because I am a bully or I feel like personally offending anyone, it is because that is what commedy is all about. Have you people been living under a rock? I think crude humor must not be for everyone, personally I think people who can’t understand this humor are immature.. how could anyone really take things so seriously? Lighten up people and pull the sticks out of your butts.
Thanks, girl!
Jen
Where to begin?
Your nose is horrid, it looks like a clay design for a troll nose. The bridge is HUGE and to top it off the end hooks down and hides your nostrils which gives you a very Wiked Witch look. All that is missing is a wart.
What is up with the lateral line on the upper third of your forehead? It looks like your cranium was split and rejoined to your skull. Your eyes are very small and beady and the crows feet on the corners are beginning to make surgery your only solution in a few months.
Your upper lip has no definition, it has the shape and beauty of a child slash representation of a mouth.
Beauty is about symetry and your Giant man like chin elongates your face and coupled with the enormity of your deformed forehead give you an equine visage that Sarah Jessic Parker would laugh at.
And the limp lifeless broom straw hair is in need of a blowout.
I am a ps and would just recommend a face transplant if you sat in my office for a consulatation.
I read your original comments before you changed them. I wonder if you ever imagine how any of those women might feel if they stumbled upon your flippant comments late one night. If you looked like Kate Bekinsale then I would give you a pass but as someone who actually wears that face in public I find it amusing you feel bold enough to mock another persons looks.
Pot meet kettle.
Cheers. (I would offer at least a nose job but I was intelligent enough to
pass organic chemistry and calm enough to work on humans–my cousin is a veterinarian and I could email you his contact info if you wish?)
Thanks for your lengthy feedback, tit. Unlike these contestants, I didn’t volunteer to go on a reality show.
I appreciate your feedback and will consult with a plastic surgeon, or veterinarian, to see if I can improve on any of these pointers that a worthless loser with no life, hiding behind a comment section, felt the need to give me. Why don’t you go save the planet while you’re at it?
You might want to see an optometrist. I have GREAT hair.
Hey “couch-dweller” respect this space – respect the people in it and do yourself a favor – own your words.
Lauren recently posted..PRBrunette: I’VE GOT COLD FEET –
As a guy i mostly watch when there is a woman whose beauty grabs me and out of the current group, Catherine is easily the best looking one and a natural beauty, so i’ll be watching this season.
Kacie B. is sweet looking as well, but Catherine is better.
Regarding the black girls, I could see all of them with a white guy–just not that white guy. There are certain types for certain types. And I am a black woman…
It doesn’t matter that you are a black women, what you said was so ignorant. Ignorant in meaning (not to insult you, please do not take it that way) that I hope you can re-read your sentence and realize that what you wrote has no merit whatsoever and that your limited experience has made you think otherwise.
I HAVE seen a number of blonde blue eyes guys like Sean date ethnic girls, including Black. My ex was one of them. A Black girlfriend of mine also had a blue eyed/blonde who was like Sean. So please stop the ignorance that certain type of White guys would not date black girls, ESP when Sean himself has just revealed that his last girlfriend was Black. lol… oh the irony.
It’s funny how the article mentions that the show should be realistic about not putting on black females because “this is SEAN LOWE” suggesting that there’s no way someone like him (whatever that means) would be interested in black women BUT on last night’s episode Sean said,
‘people look at me with my blonde hair and blue eyes and assume I only date white girls with blonde hair but I’ve dated Hispanic, Persian…and my last girlfriend was BLACK.” lol. oh how we assume.
Most racist don’t think they are racist. Sean has dated Persian, Hispanic and African-American women. If you did a little research, you would know that. Just because YOU think that way, doesn’t mean everybody else does. You’re simply projecting on to Sean. That means you wouldn’t marry a man unless he is a blonde-haired, blue-eyed Southerner. Thanks for letting us know you place limits on yourself and you’re closed-minded Jen.
