My heart aches for the millions of people who are suffering and struggling in Haiti.  Whether it’s financially or prayerfully, I encourage you to support them in this desperate time of need.

This week was chock-full of Bachelor related random news.  I decided to go ahead and throw it all out on the table so we can discuss the crazy train-wreck of a show we all love to hate on.  

Let’s begin!

Photo Surfaces of Roz’s Producer Snuggling Friend

Look at this!  He seems like a jolly good fella.  He seems to be happy and laughing.  We know he has a great job.  Wait—he had a great job at ABC.  He must be charming with a great personality in order to snag one of the hottest chicks in Jake’s harem.  True, he might be lacking in the integrity department.  I’m just saying.  But I have to admit that in the looks department?  Jake wins.  Those teeth.  Those eyes.  I know we can’t see them, but those abs!  TEAM JAKE!  

 Bachelor Bob Splits with Wife

 According to People.com, Bachelor Bob has split with his All My Childrenwife.  The news story explains that they will forever be BFFs, still call each other every day, are saddened by the separation and neither have yet to file for divorce.  

 Are you thinking what I’m thinking?  

 Bachelor Bob is going to be joining the frivolity of those invited to THE BACHELOR PAD!  Or he’s gay.  I’m not sure.

 Speaking of…

 THE BACHELOR PAD

 No one.  I repeat…NO ONE is as excited about this show as I am.  It’s going to be a gloriously embarrassing one hour each week that will both make me hide under my couch while shouting, “OH NO HE/SHE DIDN’T!!!” at the TV.  Can.  Not.  Wait.

 I can’t even begin to choose my dream team of contestants.  There are too many!  Off the top of my head, I would say Hotter than Crap Brad, Reid Kyptinite and Bob the Bachelor.  And don’t get me started on the girls…

 What do you guys think?  Will you tune in to this show?  If so, who are your picks?

  1. Stephanie Said,

    Lincee- YES! I just read about Bachelor Bob! I hate to say this, but my first thought was -I think he is seperated from his wife JUST BEACAUSE he heard about the new show!! (He wants in!!) I know – that is so mean- sorry Beaners…..Also- really? THAT is the producer behind all this brew-ha-ha? HHmmmmm….

  2. JennJam Said,

    Matt Grant, please and thank you! (If Shayne’s reality show bombs, she’ll be looking for a new method of self-promotion, too . . . hmm . . . put them BOTH on this show!? Now that would be some tele-vision, haaa!)

    Roz and Wes! Yes!! ha haaaaaa!

    Can’t wait – - this show will be the trainwreck of the decade (which is only 15 days old!). Way to start off 2010, ABC. Way.To.Go. This may be the last season of LOST (weep!) but with continuing Bachelor goodness, that might hurt a little less. Maybe.

    ohh, Lincee – we should’ve known you’d be TEAM JAKE. You always are. :)
    TEAM EDWARD!

    (p.s. You rock!)

  3. AggieFan Said,

    I did this yesterday morning! So glad to be a part of helping, even if it is in a small way. Text the word Haiti to 90999 and $10 will be deducted from your next cell phone bill and contributed directly to the Red Cross for Haitian relief efforts. The Red Cross will send you a confirmation text asking you to confirm your donation. You have to reply text the word YES or you they will not charge you and you won’t be a part of donating!

  4. Amanda Said,

    I agree with JennJam, Matt Grant, please and thank you!!

    It’s pretty sad how much I’m looking forward to this show!!

  5. old fan Said,

    heard the Red Cross has already gotten 9 million in text donations…. wonderful

    bachelor pad has the potential to be the best trash tv ever !! can not wait! loved Tina Fabulous from way back when. It would be fun to have the woman with the rotting eggs. Of course the cute guys mentioned by Lincee. Wes for sure. Roz and Wes would be amaaaaazing together. Bob? eh, do I remember that I liked him before he was the Bach? Mary Mary, with the anger/drinking issues? Tiara Erica for sure. Not Deanna, please. Her 15 min. are over. Not Jesse. Who was the cute Chicago guy everyone liked?? So very many to pick from! Bring it on!

  6. Josh in Indy Said,

    I hope they’ll bring in Elizabeth from Nebraska. According to Reality Steve, she’s off soon. Plus I’d like to see how her values are examined in the show.

    Another gal I’d like to see is the other Elizabeth from Jake’s season, the Elizabeth in the Air Force. She’s awesome, but unfortunately didn’t make the first cut.

  7. adriana Said,

    Just goes to show that looks aren’t everything, I guess? Is she dating him now?

    Silly ABC.

  8. JennX Said,

    Anyone think Reid would agree to be on Bachelor Pad? As much as I’d looove an excuse to see him back on the small screen for a couple more months, I somehow think that this might be beneath him.

    I’d love to see Crazy Shannon on this show. And Ti-Erica!

  9. saggleo Said,

    #5 old fan…Fred…but he’s with one of the other bach’ette contestants….and he can’t come on here!! No way…that would just ruin the Fred love!!!

  10. saggleo Said,

    No spoiler info please.

  11. Maureen Said,

    Can’t wait for the Bachelor Pad! For guys, I would want – Breakdancer Mike (and his twin), Matt Grant, Charlie from Season 1, Blob (Bob), Jesse the snowboarder. For girls – definitely Tina Fabulous. Also, there was a crazy crazy tall girl from the Jesse Palmer season I think. She had short black hair… and she came back after she was kicked off to crash a date. She was awesome-crazy. No Deanna please!!

  12. yup Said,

    Trish, the thong-wearing key-handing-out dish
    Erica, the princess
    Shannon, the crazy stalker
    Egg Rotter
    I like Bears
    Tina Fabulous
    Monkey Shawn

    Jeremy from Texas
    Wes, that shall not be named
    Reid
    Angry Boy Cheese Ass from Jillian’s season
    Jesse the wine maker dude
    Oh my awesomeness Mike

  13. Jess Said,

    Says on Jesse’s website that he will be on the Bachelor Pad. Click on link below and it is the 2nd and 3rd story down I believe.

    http://www.jessecsincsak.com/

  14. T Said,

    Oh my gosh! I forgot about I Like Bears! Bring back Sadie! I loved her! Oh, also, Hilary from HTC Brad’s season. haha. I still laugh about that bleeped out monologue she did of what she wanted Brad to do to her. Classy!

  15. Rachel Said,

    Jesse’s on it? I knew that guy was a TV whore. I saw a clip of him (you know, how he likes to do those webcam diaries, or whatever they are) about the whole Roz scandal saying so much goes on at these shows that the audience has no clue about. I wasn’t sure if he meant ABC is sneaky, or the contestants are always doing naughty things. Either way, he must have liked it if he’s ready for another heaping of the Bachelor crazy train.

  16. Jenn Said,

    Is it just me, or does Jake sorta resemble a Sharpei dog? Granted, a Sharpei with great teeth and apparently greats abs, but still…he’s awful wrinkly when he smiles!

  17. Shameless Said,

    Ugh. I found Jesse entertaining to watch on DD’s season, but he’s such a TV whore that I can no longer stand it. Wish he wasn’t on this show. UNLESS he talks about the possibility of pooing his pants again. Then it’s okay.

  18. karen Said,

    Graham from Deanna’s season, my all time fave and of course HTCB

  19. houstonlawyer Said,

    People that I DO WANT to see on the show:

    - Tina Fabulous (loved her!!)
    - Stephanie the mom from Jason’s season
    - Jesse and Deanna (I want to see how they interact)
    - Aaron Buerge (sp?) and his former fiancée Helene from season 2
    - The F2 woman from the Jesse Palmer season (can’t remember her name, she was from Oklahoma)
    - Reid
    - The creepy stalker guy that Trista practically sent home during dinner on their overnight date
    - The Centrum Silver bachelor (can’t remember his name)
    - The F2 woman from Centrum Silver season
    - Kristin, the F2 from Andrew Firestone’s season
    - Olive Garden girl
    - I like Bears

    People that I DON’T WANT to see, because they will manufacture boring fake drama and hog camera time:
    - Trish from the Jesse Palmer season
    - Bachelor Bob
    - Tiara Erica
    - The guy who howeled at the moon on Deanna’s season, or the naked guy from Jillian’s season
    - Shane Llamas
    - The F1 guy from Jenn Schefft’s Bachelorette season (yech)

  20. Ready for Take Off Said,

    What does F1 and F2 stand for? Help…
    And as long as the original Chach – Prince what’s his name is not on the show – I think I can handle just about anyone! Lincee – All of your fans are probably just as excited as you for the Bachelor Pad – even more so, if you promise to blog about it!

    Thanks for showing the pic of the producer – I found it the other day and couldn’t stop wondering …Really? Seriously? Are you Serious? Really?

    And, Bob…no words…no words…

  21. Debbie Said,

    #16 OMG Jenn, I nearly posted that same. Definitely a Sharpei puppy

  22. Juno Said,

    Ready for Take Off – it’s easy. F1 and F2 are…the Final 1 and the one who comes in second. F3 and F4 round out the group who get to go on the hometown dates. I’ve never seen anyone use F15 or F12, but presumably the same principle would apply :)

  23. M Said,

    Off topic but did you hear Tenley say she was preggo?

  24. Colorado Cat Said,

    NO SPOILERS PLEASE!!! Good grief!!!!

  25. TX QP Said,

    It’s not a spoiler if it’s on ABC.com, is it? There is other great stuff there, like “Diaries of the Departed” which are extended interviews after not getting a rose, “Deleted Scenes”, and “Previews”. The Tenley thing is in a preview for next week. Gotta be another example of off-the-wall editing!

  26. Mallory Said,

    Okay, no offense to Producer Guy, but HOW ON EARTH did a guy that looks like that get a girl that looks like Roz?

    And Bachelor Pad… I’d say that there’s no way I can put up with that level of pathetic crap, but I know I’ll end up watching it anyway. I really haven’t been watching The Bachelor/ette long enough to have a list of people I’d like to see on it (only since the end of Matt’s season). But Kiptynite would certainly be nice. :)

  27. Lorraine Said,

    There are a bunch of past bachelor/bachette’s that I would love to see. However, I suspect that the cast will be chalk full of guys and gals that are trying to stretch their 15 minutes of fame. Jesse already said he was going to be on it, and I bet that is the kind of “All-Stars” we’re going to get. I’d be super happy to see HTC Brad, Grahm, Beefcake Brian, Reid, and Kyptonite, but I bet we’ll get Jesse, Wes, and guys just like them.

  28. JennX Said,

    I have been in a foul mood after working on a paper for school and my bibliography come out screwed up because my document thinks it is in RUSSIAN for some bizarre reason…

    (I think the word you are looking for here is, “ANYWAY…”)

    I just read, “I like bears” and giggled for like 5 minutes straight. I love this horrible show and the fabulous author of/contributors to this blog! :)

  29. Missy Said,

    As long as Big Brian (the football coach from De’s season) and Tanner P there I will be watching every week! Oh, who am I kidding? I will be glued to the set every week regardless!

  30. Lorraine Said,

    I totally forgot about Tanner P. He’s the kind of guy that would go back an do it.

  31. old fan Said,

    forgot about Coach Brian – LOVED him !!!

  32. AussieNatalie Said,

    oh and the stoopid way Jake smiles EVERY time he kisses….that totally accentuates his Sharpei-ness!

    still gotta love him haha

    and is it me or does anyone else think that some of those girls got a little creative with the dates on their birth certificates…some of them look waaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy older than what it says on the screen lol

  33. CC Said,

    This is wierd… does anybody know who this bachelorette is supposedly on Jake’s season? Her name’s Brittany and she’s a pilot. Wasn’t the pilot’s name Sheila??
    http://musiccitytv.com/2009/09/29/franklin-contestant-reveals-next-bachelor-is-pilot-jake

  34. CC Said,

    Elizabeth, DC… This woman was way too good for Jake…

    Interview from a few months before the bachelor
    http://www.youtube.com/user/elizabethannekreft#p/a/u/2/fBbE-3xi6f0

    Another interview (if you don’t care for the full story forward to the 2:50 minute mark to see her)
    http://www.youtube.com/user/elizabethannekreft#p/a/u/1/zLRze2ocP84

  35. Colorado Cat Said,

    With regards to spoilers i was only talking about the info on Elizabeth….

  36. Jenn Said,

    Tina Fabulous. The world (and Bachelor Pad) NEEDS more Tina Fabulous.

  37. Lyn Said,

    If Cheese Ass Dave is on the Bachelor Pad, Juan has to be there just to annoy the heck out of him again.

  38. Denise Said,

    I want Ian from Meredith’s Bachelorette season to be on the show. I loved him!

  39. Minnie Said,

    Meeps has to be there!

  40. Mari Said,

    #33 — This particular individual was cut from the show when she leaked the news that Jake was the new Bachelor before ABC made an official announcement.

  41. alsofromtexas Said,

    Although Jake beats Mr. Snuggles in the looks department…he just doesn’t seem to have any substance. What a dolt. Not that I believe substance is a quality Roz would recognize…I’m just saying…

  42. alsofromtexas Said,

    And one more thing…WHATEVER it was that Roz did w/Mr. Snuggles…she DID NOT CHEAT on you, Jake! You two are NOT in a committed relationship by any definition. ugh!!!!!

  43. okcheather Said,

    Who is the girl who wore the gold digger t-shirt- we need her on the show for sure

  44. CC Said,

    #40 Mari thanks for the info! Now that is very interesting. Why didn’t ABC say anything about her getting fired for breaching her contract whereas Roz was all of over the network when she got fired? We weren’t even shown this girl’s face at all. That’s crazy. Then again, I suppose a “sex” scandal brings better ratings than an “information leakage” scandal? Ugh.

    Anyway, I accidentally landed on a MAJOR spoiler that I didn’t want to see but I did, unfortunately. :-( I’ll go ahead and post it in the spoiler thread for those who haven’t had enough. Quite honestly, I don’t know how ABC is going to be able to hold this to the very end. The spoilers are EVERYWHERE. And now they are even on article titles too so you just kinda land on them by simply googling “the bachelor”.

  45. heidi Said,

    reading the comments, I’m getting excited about Bachelor Pad, even though I swore to myself I wouldn’t watch it.
    I want to see Tanner P try to suck some more toes!
    As much as I love Reid and want to see him on tv again, I think he’s too classy to do this show.

  46. One more thing... Said,

    In no particular order…
    Jerry
    Graham
    Brad
    Reid
    Hmmm… I can’t seem to remember any of the girls… that’s strange.

  47. Austin-ite Said,

    http://www.tmz.com/2010/01/16/bachelor-producer-ryan-callahan-photo/

    TMZ has what seems to be a more current photo of the producer.

  48. Erica Said,

    I say, Matt, Twilly, Mike (and the twin), bring on Travis to diagnose all the STIs traveling around.
    All the girls that have had breakdowns on the first episodes. I’d also like to see what happened to the guy who WASN’T Byron. Good times.

  49. sc Said,

    I am pretty sure that if someone said “give me your first born and you can make out with Reid” that I would be childless until the second came around. However, that being said, I feel like Reid will not be on any reality dating shows anytime soon, so I will just have to miss his face I suppose!

  50. jeneva jean Said,

    #36- EXACTLY!!!

    For certain, Graham, Reid & Tanner P.

    who was the F3 or F4 hometown date girl, who’s g-ma was ga-ga over (was it Jerry O’Connell?) she had his b/w head shot on the mantle? can’t remember-

    I’d say add Mr. Snuggles in the mix too.

    egg rotter. lmao! she was classic.

    also remember that french cheese-ass from Jen Scheff’s season? I remember him being strange as hell.

  51. MC Said,

    How is it that no one has mentioned Drunk Amber? From the dinner in the middle of rockafeller center ice rink? I bet if she shows, Olive Garden will sponsor the show!

    I cannot wait!

  52. Moxie1234 Said,

    Did anyone see Reid on an HGTV commercial?

  53. Moxie1234 Said,

    #42…I think that chick that wore the Gold Digger T-shirt is actually married now????

  54. KoKo from Mo City Said,

    #51 -Moxie
    Yes, I have stalked My First Place until I saw Reid’s episode on HGTV! Although I was Team Ed (I actually got it right for a change), I still liked Reid last season.

    Now, #50 Thanks for remembering “Olive Garden” girl’s name. I still fofl when I think of how serious she was with that little gem of information.

    I cannot wait for tonight’s show. I have my speculations that it’s weirdo Vienna, but with Tenley announcing she is i”n the family way”….who knows!

  55. AggieFan Said,

    #52, I think you are right! And she married an independently wealthy man. I read an article about a year or two ago when they were engaged. She still maintained that her philosophy was “you can fall in love with a rich man just as easily as you can fall in love with a poor man” but she weeded out all the poor men so there would be no way to fall in love with them! She’s still a gold-digger. At least she’s honest about it!

  56. beens Said,

    Lincee, You might have to repost that there is a special section for spoilers a few people on posted some spoilers.

  57. Mo Said,

    Two words………………………not attractive!

  58. kk Said,

    jake looks like an english bulldog in that picture, all those cheek wrinkles when he smiles!!

  59. Jennifer Said,

    Mango, Mango! (ha haaa!)

    But honestly, I couldn’t take another show with him and his crazed foot fetish.

  60. oh dear Said,

    This is about Haiti, not the Bachelor…

    Text the word “Haiti” to 90999 to donate to the Red Cross efforts there. So far, the texting program has raised over $10 million for the Red Cross!

  61. TLEW Said,

    I need to see ALL Crazy-Eyes – both men and women. I do not care specifically which ones. I watch this show so that I can clean out from behind the back of the couch.
    If the Bachelor Pad has all the cool people (Rockin’ Reid, Kiptonyte, etc.) it might accidentally end up an actual Match-Making show.

    Sorry, I need the Crazy-Eyes and Trailor Talk.

  62. Scott Brown Said,

    Did anybody see that ass-whuppin’ I put on the Democrats tonight!

    Down with Socialism! ha ha ha! ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

  63. oh dear Said,

    Scott Brown is an ass.
