Thank you, Jaime Lee Holm: She gave us (and Emily Maynard) Jef Holm

In a recent media teleconference Jef Holm discussed how he got on the show.
Jef Holm: “That’s an interesting story.  My sister-in-law submitted an application for me without me knowing.  And so, I got a call from casting and I had no idea what they were talking about.  They were like, “We received your application.”  And I was like, “No, you didn’t.  I think you have the wrong guy.”

“And so we ended up talking and I kept getting calls back from casting.  They were just like, “We want to meet you.  We want to see pictures.  We want to see a video.”  And I just — I was really hesitant to even send them anything because I’m a really — I come from a really private family.”

“I’m really private about my life, and I didn’t want to, you know, go out on a dating TV show, as I saw it, you know? And then I — let’s see, what happened, then?  I sent in a video after a long time of them talking me into it, and then I went out to California and met them.”

“They said that they wanted to put me all the way through and I was still really hesitant to go on.  And then as soon as I found out it was Emily in, I think, the end of January, the first of February, that’s when I committed to do the show — is when I found out it was her. “

We have since come to find out — courtesy of Jef Holm’s HOLMtown date last week — that the sister in law he’s referring to is Jaime Lee Holm.

And to Jaime, we have to say: THANK YOU for giving us our first ever Bachelorette “Dreamboat”!

Our new motto: There’s No Place Like HOLM.
