For the first time in the history of the show, I turned the channel from Survivor. His behavior toward women is disgusting and borders on abusive. He suffers from short man syndrome.

Then he is let go and he just became very strange. And that return to dump on Wes made him appear desperate and bizarre and just creepy. So if they honestly think he can carry a show well ABC might be saying goodbye to this series. He will, IMO make a horrible bachelor. And I don't trust his motives at all. I do understand why Reid (my fave) and Kyptin do not need this show to get a girl! and I doubt either need the aggravation of ABC either. Jake has already shown he is putty in ABC's hands so if I watch it will be just like Reality Steve watches, to see how ridiculous Jake will be and how stupid they make him appear.

The show hasn’t even begun filming and we already know one important thing about possible future Bachelor contestant Brittney Gammel—she can’t keep a secret.

Jillian Harris reject Jake Pavelka is ABC’s next Mr. Right.

The 25-year-old Learjet pilot was at a party in Tennessee when she spilled the beans to local news station WKRN that fellow pilot Pavelka would be the next man lookin’ for love on TV. And she was already skeptical about their chances at making a connection.

Something tells us ABC may put the kibosh on Gammel’s chance at doing more blabbing for reporters. According to her, the show doesn’t start taping until November, plenty of time for the network to find a replacement blonde.

“We are not going to confirm who the Bachelor is or if this woman is even one of the bachelorettes,” a network spokesperson tells E! News. “People need to tune into Dancing With the Stars on Oct. 13 to find out the real identity of the next Bachelor.”

The immortality and eternal youth of the vampire is seen as desirable and the whole act of biting of the neck has taken on a whole new overwhelming sexual connotation. Throw in pretty young actors and actresses, you have teen soap opera with some BITE.

So, looks like I won't be -- but maybe I'd watch the end, and keep up with the series through RS's blog. I don't think I could stomach watching Jake every week. I did not dislike him as strongly as some others... but I thought that he showed himself to be very needy for a relationship, which is a big turnoff.My guess is that Kiptyn would not agree to be on this show because maybe he actually has some sense and some independence, and doesn't want to be part of the manipulation of the show? ... well, it's a thought!On DWTS, I'm not rooting for anybody in particular yet. I think it's interesting how close the scores were to each other (for most of them) this week. It’s great to see a new blog post, Steve!

Not "puddy".Jake?! WTF?! I want Reid!!!!!!!!! Bring back the Honey Bear!!!!!!! But I can see what you're saying, RS. Reid is too authentic and doesn't have the pushover personality that they want. I'm hoping maybe I'll get a surprise on the 13th. Otherwise, it'll be way too boring with Jake. It’s “putty”, RS. Not “puddy”.

I will be reading your thoughts on the Bachelor this season, but I am not going to watch any more. Although I know it is all entertainment, I think the contrived a bit too much last season. As for DWTS, I agree that Aaron will lose votes over his comments. Not that I care. He has always been a bit of a boring spoiled brat anyway. As for Russel on Survivor - he is an ass, and I laugh at his choice to wear revealing underpants. What do they reveal? A teeny tiny bit of information, to be sure. He should be so embarrassed. He says he's a millionaire, but my guess is he work in some sort of retail establishment. Anyway, thanks for starting my day off with a smile! Nice to see a new post – a great way to start my day.
