Is a helicopter McMahon's preferred mode of transportation?Cinched at the Waist
The eighth season of ABC's The Bachelorette doesn't premiere until Monday night, but Houston's Kalon Joseph Reid McMahon is already shaping up as the show's villain.
In a recently-released preview that shows a Dolly Parton cameo, lots of French kissing and a fair amount of tearful drama, McMahon seems to rub everyone the wrong way — including the bachelorette herself, Southern beauty and Bachelor veteran Emily Maynard. (CultureMap's Shelby Hodge first broke the story of McMahon appearing on The Bachelorette, of course.)
"When he arrives — via helicopter! — the hissing and sniping begin. Finally, some life!"
And here we were, hoping that the founder of now-defunct members-only club, Dorsia, would provide the same brand of comic relief that H-Town reality princess Erica Rose trademarked. Or, at the very least, represent Houston well.
We may take solace in the fact that McMahon brings some entertaining pretension to what Us Weekly deemed a "blandly familiar mix of goofs and nice guys."
"Thank goodness for Texas brand consultant Kalon, a competitive show-off who's more into himself," wrote the magazine in advance of the season premiere.
"When he arrives — via helicopter! — the hissing and sniping begin. Finally, some life!"
Tune in on Mondays at 8:30 p.m. to watch McMahon stroke his ego while attempting to win the heart of Maynard.
