The Bachelor, Season 17

With a slew of spoilers out there (including the one that has our hunk of the season suing), it is easy to get caught up in the nonsense of this "reality" TV show.

But hey — everyone needs a good guilty pleasure and mine happens to be this over-the-top romantic thriller. This season we welcome Sean Lowe, who was left heartbroken on a beach in Curacao last season. With Sean's buff body and sweet ways, he was an obvious pick of fans and directors. And he is shirtless within 40 seconds of the first episode. Well, if you've got it, flaunt it!

Emily Maynard may have given up her hunk of Texan toast but we are not done with him yet. Of course, this season will have even more drama (it is possible!) with one of the key house villains going to the hospital.

Sean will be introduced to 26 beautiful women tonight on ABC, Monday, Jan. 7 at 8 p.m. But before he does so, he will get some words of comedic wisdom from another cast favorite from last season the race car driving Arie Lukendyk, Jr.

Apparently when the ladies finally do arrive, Sean breaks the law and gives a voluptuous lady the first rose, making all the other women crazy of course. And of course we can't forget the twist! The last limo holds the real surprise; an additional person shows up and shakes things up from the get-go. So sit back and enjoy some steamy action while it's cold outside. I'll keep tabs!
