Kalon McMahon, 27
This "luxury-brand consultant" is, Harrison says, "cocky, brash, and arrogant" and arrives on the first night in a rented helicopter. "He makes a huge first impression, but the big story is, will it fade quickly?" Sounds that way, considering his equipment wasn't that remarkable. "I don't know where that helicopter came from, but it was pretty unimpressive," Harrison says. "It would be like showing up in a Prius instead of a limo."
Jef Holm, 27
And the winner of the Bob Guiney award goes to... "He's not your typical 6'4" ripped bachelor. He's an average-looking guy who will stun Emily with his personality and charm," says Harrison. "Women are more apt to give a guy with humor and charisma a chance than a guy will." Ouch. Harrison was also impressed that Holm ditched the limo for a skateboard on the first night. "It was like Michael J. Fox in Back to the Future!"
Doug Clerget, 33
Single mom Emily, meet single dad Doug! "They get along fantastically and share this bond from the moment they started talking about kids," says Harrison. "And he's a great-looking guy. Muscles on top of muscles. He's someone America will fall in love with." So what's the catch? "It's a sweet relationship, but can they get beyond that? Is there more to him than his 11-year-old son?" Not to mention those muscles on top of muscles?
Arie Luyendyk Jr., 30
You thought there was no way the producers would be so heartless as to cast a race-car driver, given that Emily's late fiancé, Ricky Hendrick, was a well-known NASCAR driver who died in a plane crash in 2004? Guess again. "It's not like after Ricky died she never went to the track. The racing world is still a big part of her life," says Harrison, adding, "and Arie is an IndyCar driver, not NASCAR." Uh, yeah — that means nothing to us.
Alesandro Goulart, 30
The first words out of this Brazilian hunk's mouth are "Nice to meet you, gorgeous" — in Portuguese! Cue the swooning. "He's this Latin heartthrob who very easily works his charms on Emily," says Harrison. Of course, Portuguese can make certain things sound sexy for only so long. "He's a grain merchant," says Harrison, who pauses before explaining, "I guess that means he merchants the grain."
Ryan Bowers, 31
It's this season's sensitive former pro athlete! Bowers is an ex--football player who owns a gym but also mentors young children in Augusta, Ga. His romantic (and potentially cheesy) side scores points with Emily yet makes him a target among the guys. "The first night he gave Emily a note that said 'You are beautiful' on the back, so while he was reading it to her she could see that," says Harrison. "He's that guy."
