Before we begin that, let us look at the prize that one man will get to penetrate at the end of this journey.
From the last season that she was on, Emily wasn't half bad in terms of drama and personality. She was actually the winner and was this close to getting married to Brad Womack, but because this is the Bachelor/Bachelorette, they broke it off, and America cried in tears of 'sadness'.
Anyway, back to the men.
Here are our contenders and their profiles according to abc.com...
Aaron
Age: 36
Occupation: Biology Teacher
Hometown: North Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada
Do you like to go out dancing? If yes, what is your preferred type of dancing?
No. Unfortunately I am rather shy when it comes to that. I'm pretty good at bobbing my head to the beat while sitting though!
Describe your idea of the ultimate date?
I've been on dates in a variety of settings but very few of them (if any) had conversation that was stimulating, funny, thought provoking, etc. all rolled into one. I guess what I am saying is its the person I'm with more than the activity of the date that really determines if it is an ultimate date or not.
Do you prefer a woman who wants to be pursued or a woman who pursues you and why?
Because I am relatively shy on making that initial contact, I love it when a woman pursues me. It shows confidence and that she's not your average woman. Hot.
What is the trait you most dislike in yourself?
Sometimes I prepare too much for the future and don't live enough for today when I can enjoy it most. Who knows if I will be here tomorrow!

The first thing that came to mind from his outfit was Harry Potter. He looks like a Hufflepuff, and based on his info, I'm pretty sure I'm right. AVADA KEDAVRA!
