Sean Lowe 'The Bachelor': What to expect from big season premiere on ABC15

Bachelor Nation was shocked when fan favorite Sean Lowe was left heartbroken on a beach in Curacao earlier this year, but fans will soon get the chance to follow his search for love once again.

 

The handsome and sincere Texan envisioned starting a family with Emily Maynard, but in what became one of the most shocking moments of the season, Emily blindsided Sean, rejecting him in favor of two others. He was devastated and alone then, but he has not given up on love.

 

Sean is back as the Bachelor and ready to risk it all again for another chance at love. He begins the search for his soul mate, choosing from among 26 beautiful bachelorettes, when the 17th edition of "The Bachelor" premieres MONDAY at 7 p.m. on ABC15!

In Monday's season premiere, Sean kicks off his journey -- not by meeting beautiful bachelorettes, but by meeting with a friend -- someone who was also left heartbroken by Emily -- Arie Lukendyk, Jr.

 

The handsome race driver offers his support as well as some hilarious, if questionable advice.

 

Sean kicks off his journey with the signature cocktail party, where he meets an interesting selection of women.

 

A beautiful make-up artist marks her territory with a kiss on Sean's cheek, while a gorgeous engineer back flips out of the limousine - only to fall on her behind. A lovely cruise ship singer even serenades Sean with an original song about their future love.

 

However, Sean is so taken with one voluptuous woman, he decides to break the rules and offers her the first rose, to the dismay of the rest of the shocked and jealous women. But the last limo holds a real surprise: One additional guest shows up and changes the game.

 

Don't miss the beginning of what's sure to be a can't-miss season of "The Bachelor", every Monday night on ABC15.
