The world needs to thank Houston for yet another unforgettable reality show contestant.

Bayou City native Kalon Joseph Reid McMahon made quite the impression Monday night in the season eight premiere of The Bachelorette. Arriving in a helicopter and instantly struggling to get along with his fellow suitors, the former local model and club owner is gearing up to be one of the central characters in bachelorette Emily Maynard's search for love on national television.

Described by host Chris Harrison as "cocky, brash, and arrogant" in an early May discussion of the 25 bachelors, McMahon has already earned the title of "villain" across the Bachelorette-o-sphere. Things got only worse upon the recent release of a preview teaser that suggests some serious tension between the Houston playboy and Maynard — a single mother who not only lost her fiancé in a tragic 2004 plane crash, but also ended up splitting with bachelor-fiancé Brad Womack after her win on season 15 of The Bachelor.

The big debut

A self-described "luxury brand consultant," McMahon earned the first slot among the premiere's introductory contestant bios.

"I'm a young fun, good-looking guy with a few dollars in my pocket," he explains to America. "I can wine. I can dine. I am the modern Southern gentleman."

[Cue Kalon buying a new suit for "a hot date."]

"I used to be extremely loud and obnoxious and a womanizer, but I just kind of hit this point in my life when I did some self reflecting and made a deliberate and drastic change in my life to be a more kind of responsible, down to earth, dependable person."

"I'm so excited to meet Emily. This is the first time I've really putting myself out there in a vulnerable state and she could be my wife. It could be the first day of the rest of my life."

McMahon's confidence, money and helicopter seemed in jeopardy almost immediately as the twangy country guitar started up to introduce Ryan Bowers, professional-athlete-turned-gym-owner who spends his free time mentoring kids in Georgia.

By the time producers got through the other contestant bios — including a single dad with an 11-year-old son and the CEO of a company that donates money to building wells in underserved communities — McMahon, dare we say, seemed like an underdog.

During the initial bachelor-bachelorette introductions, however, our hometown favorite's helicopter landing seemed almost classy as contestants vied for Maynard's attention with gags like dressing up like an elderly woman and dancing the moonwalk.
