Sean

Lowe

THE BACHELORETTE, SEASON 8

Prior to starring on The Bachelor, Lowe was a contestant on The Bachelorette, competing for the hand of Emily Maynard. He made it to the top 3 but ultimately did not win. Initially, Sean says he had no interest in The Bachelor and had only seen the show a few times. He was skeptical of the idea that love could be found on a reality show.  His sister and brother in law had submitted his name and photos to the ABC show unbeknownst to him. The show producers liked him instantly, and he was cast. While competing on the show, he became one of the audiences’ favorite contestants and was credited by the New York Times with “reinvigorating the [Bachelor] franchise.” During his run on the show, Sean says he fell in love with Emily and was deeply disappointed that he was not chosen as her suitor. However, it was that experience that opened him up to the idea of finding love on reality television.

DANCING WITH THE STARS, SEASON 14

After The Bachelor,  Sean competed on Dancing with the Stars. He partnered with Peta Murgatroyd and came in 6th place.
