The Bachelor alum remains the only Bachelor lead to marry his final choice, and he has since earned the ultimate Bachelor lead title. Zach is looking to break that record and has been quite vocal about his desire to become a husband and start a family. Sean’s reputation made it fitting that the producers saw him as the perfect person to guide Zach through his journey during and after the show. Producers of The Bachelor tagged season 27 as a throwback to the romantic era of the popular series, and Zach would need the valuable experience of Sean as the season unfolds.
Despite the great intentions of the producers to have Sean take on an advisory role this season, the alum drew the ire of fans with a statement to Zach. In the season premiere, Sean told Zach to be open-minded and supported his assertion by claiming his wife, Catherine, was not his type during his season. He also revealed he didn’t see her as his wife until mid-season. Sean’s statement didn’t go well with some fans, and they have called The Bachelor alum out on it.
Catherine is bi-racial, and some fans felt Sean’s “type” referenced her race. However, most fans also quickly shut down such claims by explaining they understood how some viewers misconstrued his statements. They also criticized The Bachelor alum for not phrasing his words in a better way that flatters his wife.
Some Fans Feel Sean Was Misunderstood

There is no doubt that Sean’s advice to Zach was a great one that captures the wealth of experience he possesses about the show. As most fans suggested, he could have coined his words better, but that should not taint the beautiful love story he shares with Catherine.
