The Bachelor starring Ben Flajnik premiered January 2, 2012 and we already have more drama on our hands than we can handle.

At the start of the show, Ben told Chris Harrison, “I think prior to going on The Bachelorette, my father’s death affected me. I’m very much a different man today. I’m completely and utterly available. If I find the woman of my dreams, yes [I’ll propose]. If someone else said no too, I probably wouldn’t do this again.” Continue reading →

Former Bachelor and Bachelorette star DeAnna Pappas married Stephen Stagliano, the twin brother of Bachelor Pad winner Michael Stagliano, over the weekend in Georgia.

DeAnna wore a strapless Disney Bridal wedding gown with a birdcage veil. She completed the look with cowboy boots. “They were giddy with excitement,” a wedding guest reports. “She looked incredibly happy.”

Pappas, as you may remember, was rejected by Bachelor Brad Womack the first time he starred on The Bachelor. She then became The Bachelorette and was briefly engaged to Jesse Csincsak.

Watch the video clip below for a cute interview of the couple:

FIRST LOOK: The Bachelor’s Ben Flajnik, ‘A Rare, Modern Renaissance Man’?

Ben Flajnik, the runner-up yearning for Ashley Hebert’s heart on The Bachelorette, is in search of a new love on the upcoming season of ABC’s The Bachelor. ABC has just released this promo photo of the 28-year-old Napa vineyard owner, shot in his obvious comfort zone.

ABC describes Flajnik as “a rare, modern Renaissance man.” I don’t know what that means, but maybe we will all find out when the show premieres January 2.

Or maybe this statement by ABC explains what they mean: “Ben dabbles in a lot of hobbies and crafts, such as crab fishing, sailing, golf, skate boarding, surfing, playing piano and singing in a tribute band.”

“He is also quite handy with a hammer and saw, and loves fixing and building things, as well as landscaping. The woman who will share his life will also have to share one of his other great loves: his Jack Russell Terrier, Scotch.”

8. AMES BROWN (The Bachelorette Season 7, Ashley Hebert)
9. WILLIAM HOLMAN (The Bachelorette Season 7, Ashley Hebert)
LIMOUSINE ARRIVALS
When Holly met Blake, fireworks flew. He complimented her legs and she wished Michael was not going to be in the house so she could flirt back with Blake. Justin admitted he had a girlfriend when he was on The Bachelorete by answering that question with, “so what?” Erica walked in with her Tiara and Blake called her thick. 
Vienna arrived to the scene of her ugly public breakup and was already emotional because she did not want Jake to be there. Lucky for Vienna, she got there before him and made everyone there get on her side first. Gia came out of the limo and told Chris Harrison that she hopes Vienna is not in the house because she hooked up with her ex, Wes. When Gia saw Vienna, she simply said, “hello,” and moved on to the next person. Gia told Vienna not to be mean to Jake if he shows up and told the rest of the cast that Jake is a good guy with a big heart. 
When Kasey arrived at the house, he hugged Vienna and Justin made a barf gesture behind their back. He later told the camera that Kasey was his archnemesis on The Bachelorette and still is and that he wants Vienna and Kasey gone. He said Kasey sounds like a frog and Kermit goes out with Miss Piggy. If you watched Ali Fedotowsky’s season, you know Ali had a two on one date with Justin and Kasey and sent Kasey home on the date. Actually, she didn’t just send Kasey home; she left him standing alone atop a glacier in Iceland as she and Justin flew away together. Ouch.
Michael walked in and hugged Holly. They handled it well at first, but things got awkward when Michael said Blake looked cool, not knowing Holly has already formed a crush on him.
Jake was the last person to walk out of a limo and told Chris Harrison he is here to get closure with Vienna. Jake walked in the house and was happy to see his good friend Gia there. Kasey introduced himself and Jake said, “Oh hi, I know who you are, terrific.” Jake later went outside and got a chilled greeting from Vienna, Kasey and her friends. They all talk about the weather.
Jake told Gia that Vienna will always have a place in his heart but her cold reaction to him tonight showed him that he still affects her. Gia told Jake that he needs to be the bigger man and talk to Kasey and congratulate him on being with Vienna to avoid a fight if Kasey drinks. Jake told the camera he is afraid for his safety so he needed to talk to Kasey.
Jake pulled Kasey aside and told him it’s awesome that he and Vienna make each other happy and he does not want to stand in their way. He said he is no longer in love with Vienna but always will care for her. Kasey said he understands there are two sides to every story, but his problem is that Vienna shakes whenever Jake is around. Kasey said it doesn’t matter whether or not what Vienna told him is true; it only matters that she told him mean things about Jake and he just wants to protect Vienna.
FIRST GAME CHALLENGE
Chris Harrison set out the rules: That each week, the men vote out one women and the women vote out one man. He asked everyone to pair up for the first challenge. Obviously, Kasey and Vienna are a team, so they will play together. Holly and Michael teamed up. Alli paired up with Graham. Melissa and Blake teamed up. Kirk had a few too many drinks and paired up with Erica. Ames and Jackie decided not to partner up because they liked each other and didn’t want to be a target since they were coupling up. So, Ames decided to partner with Michelle and Jackie partnered with Jake. Jake and Gia are good friends but they also did not partner up to avoid being targets. Gia partnered with William. Poor Ella ended up with Justin.
The first challenge was a sex challenge called The Hookup. The men were raised in a harness and the women had to hold and straddle unto to their male partners. The couple who held on the longest would win immunity and a date. William gave up and was first to drop his girl, Gia at the 10 minute mark. Gia was surprised he could not hold on to her when she is so tiny. Holly was next to drop because she said she would rather be drinking. Jackie and Melissa were next to go. Erica fell next, followed by Michelle. Ella fell after saying this challenge hurt more than giving birth, leaving just Kasey and Vienna and Jake and Jackie fighting for the win. Jake’s right leg was purple from lack of blood circulation and he was about to vomit, looking for a place to upchuck without hitting Jackie. Yet he still held on. We heard Jake saying to the camera that every time he was about to drop Jackie, he pictured himself over a cliff and thought if he dropped her, she would drop 3,000 feet to her death so he kept holding on to her for rescue to arrive. We had previously heard those words on the Bachelor Pad 2 trailer and lead to believe that Jake had said those words, intending on a painful death on Vienna. Now we know that it was just clever editing instead.
Kasey’s back started hurting and and he felt numb, so, he dropped Vienna. Jake and Jackie won which was good because otherwise, Jake may have had to have his leg amputated if he had held on any longer.

KASEY AND VIENNA FIGHT
Vienna was pissed that Kasey dropped her and the two sat speechless in a hot tub after the loss. “Kinda was expecting more from you,” Vienna said after a long silence between the two. She followed that dagger with, “You made me a promise that you would never ever ever ever let go. Ever.” Kasey said he had felt numb in his pelvic region before dropping Vienna and asked her to not rub the loss in his face. She hit back with “We made a promise we wouldn’t fight on camera.” The next morning, their fight continued and Kasey blamed Vienna for flirting with other guys. They eventually made up somehow.


ALLIANCES FORM
Jake and Jackie learned that not only are they immune from being kicked out of the show this week, but they have a third rose to give to the person of their choice to keep him/her safe. While they went on their date, Kasey and Vienna made a final four alliance with Graham and Michelle and Kasey asked them to get more people so they have more people on their side and have a majority vote on both the men and women side. They got Michael, Kirk and Justin to join the male pack. Why they would trust Justin is beyone me because immediately after agreeing to be in their pack, he told the camera that he can switch sides. He went and told the people not on their side the whole story. Alli went back to the Kasey/Vienna alliance and sold out Justin and told them what Justin just did.
JAKE AND JACKIE GET FIRST DATE
Jackie and Jake went on their date to Hollywood Boulevard, leaving a bummed Ames behind. Jake and Jackie’s names were lit up in lights at El Capitan theater and the two had dinner on the theater balcony. Over dinner, Jake opened up and told Jackie about his relationship and breakup with Vienna. Jake said his heart was broken and still wished he could get back with Vienna even after he claims she broke up with him in a tabloid. He said he wants one final conversation with Vienna since he has not seen her in a year. Jackie suggested to give Vienna the immunity rose as a peace offering and Jake said he would have to think about it. 
THIRD IMMUNITY ROSE
The next day, Jackie gave the decision power to Jake because she could not handle the pressure. While telling Gia he was thinking about giving the rose to Vienna so she remembers what a good guy he really is, he mistakenly called Gia “Vienna,” and she said, “Jake, get her out of your head.” Gia told Jake that you don’t give your enemy the rose. “You’re trying to kill the enemy, you don’t put the enemy in a bomb shelter when you could just bomb them,” were Gia’s actual words. But Jake and Jackie did end up giving the rose to Vienna, leaving Gia hurt and heartbroken. 
JAKE AND VIENNA TALK
While giving the third immunity rose out, Jake said he wants to talk to Kasey and Vienna. When in private, Jake apologized to Vienna for having raised his voice at her [on their breakup] on TV and said he did it because he was afraid he was losing Vienna. Vienna listened as she cried but once Kasey got up, she left abruptly as well. Jake felt happy with his gesture, telling the camera that he had closure and that he and Kasey are better friends. 
Vienna, on the other hand, told Kasey he is her everything and that she is going to marry him and have his babies. Later, she told the camera that hearing Jake’s  apology was torture and made her sick because he did it to look sweet on camera. She then took off her clothes and had sex with Kasey. Thanks for the rose, Jake.
GIA AND KASEY FORM UNEXPECTED ALLIANCE
Gia told Kasey aside and somehow convinced him to form an alliance with her so that neither would vote out the other. WOW–Vienna ain’t gonna like that one bit. At all. 
ROSE CEREMONY
At the voting ceremony, Vienna was sure that Gia and Justin would be voted off. The other side wanted Alli to go because she played both sides. Kasey was conflicted on who to vote for because he had promised Gia he would keep her safe by Vienna wanted Gia gone. There was a last minute scurry by Blake to get enough votes to kick out Kasey. The women had enough votes if Gia would join them. Jake tried to convince Gia who refused to help because she said she promised to keep Kasey safe.
WHO WAS VOTED OFF?
The two voted off of Bachelor Pad 2 first episode were Justin and Alli. Remember when Ali Fedotowsky told Justin to avoid walking out like a wuss on The Bachelorette and own up to things like a man? Well, he failed to do that then and he failed to walk out like a man on BP2 as well.  When he realized he was going home, he refused to shake William’s hands or hug Michael. He told Kasey to stop smiling because Kasey could not even keep his own girlfriend safe and had to get her “ex pilot boyfriend” to do the job. If that weren’t bad enough, Justin yanked the rose off of Jake’s jacket and said, “I’m walking out of here with a rose one way or another.”  Way to stay classy!
The show ended for some odd reason with the masked man from Ashley Hebert’s season sneaking into the BP2 house, sitting on a toilet, reading a People magazine with the caption, “Ifeel so betrayed,” next to Ashley’s picture. You could hear him say, “Poor Ashley..Bentley Bentley.”

Now we know that it was just clever editing instead.
Kasey’s back started hurting and and he felt numb, so, he dropped Vienna. Jake and Jackie won which was good because otherwise, Jake may have had to have his leg amputated if he had held on any longer. Vienna was pissed that Kasey dropped her and the two sat speechless in a hot tub after the loss. “Kinda was expecting more from you,” Vienna said after a long silence between the two. She followed that dagger with, “You made me a promise that you would never ever ever ever let go. Ever.” Kasey asked her to not rub things in his face. She hit back with “We made a promise we wouldn’t fight on camera.” The next morning, their fight continued and Kasey blamed Vienna for flirting with other guys. They eventually made up somehow.

ALLIANCES FORM
Jake and Jackie learned that not only are they immune from being kicked out of the show this week, but they have a third rose to give to the person of their choice to keep him/her safe. While they went on their date, Kasey and Vienna made a final four alliance with Graham and Michelle and Kasey asked them to get more people so they have more people on their side and have a majority vote on both the men and women side. They got Michael, Kirk and Justin to join the male pack. Why they would trust Justin is beyone me because immediately after agreeing to be in their pack, he told the camera that he can switch sides. He went and told the people not on their side the whole story. Alli went back to the Kasey/Vienna alliance and sold out Justin and told them what Justin just did.
JAKE AND JACKIE GET FIRST DATE
Jackie and Jake went on their date to Hollywood Boulevard, leaving a bummed Ames behind. Jake and Jackie’s names were lit up in lights at El Capitan theater and the two had dinner on the theater balcony. Over dinner, Jake opened up and told Jackie about his relationship and breakup with Vienna. Jake said his heart was broken and still wished he could get back with Vienna even after he claims she broke up with him in a tabloid. He said he wants one final conversation with Vienna since he has not seen her in a year. Jackie suggested to give Vienna the immunity rose as a peace offering and Jake said he would have to think about it. 
THIRD IMMUNITY ROSE
The next day, Jackie gave the decision power to Jake because she could not handle the pressure. While telling Gia he was thinking about giving the rose to Vienna so she remembers what a good guy he really is, he mistakenly called Gia “Vienna,” and she said, “Jake, get her out of your head.” Gia said you don’t give your enemy the rose. Jake and Jackie did end up giving the rose to Vienna, leaving Gia hurt and heartbroken. 
JAKE AND VIENNA TALK
While giving the third immunity rose out, Jake said he wants to talk to Kasey and Vienna. When in private, Jake apologized to Vienna for having raised his voice at her [on their breakup] on TV and said he did it because he was afraid he was losing Vienna. Vienna listened as she cried but once Kasey got up, she left abruptly as well. Jake felt happy with his gesture, telling the camera that he had closure and that he and Kasey are better friends. 
Vienna, on the other hand, told Kasey he is her everything and that she is going to marry him and have his babies. Later, she told the camera that hearing Jake’s  apology was torture and made her sick because he did it to look sweet on camera. She then took off her clothes and had sex with Kasey. Thanks for the rose, Jake.
GIA AND KASEY FORM UNEXPECTED ALLIANCE
Gia told Kasey aside and somehow convinced him to form an alliance with her so that neither would vote out the other. WOW–Vienna ain’t gonna like that one bit. At all. 
ROSE CEREMONY
At the voting ceremony, Vienna was sure that Gia and Justin would be voted off. The other side wanted Alli to go because she played both sides. Kasey was conflicted on who to vote for because he had promised Gia he would keep her safe by Vienna wanted Gia gone. There was a last minute scurry by Blake to get enough votes to kick out Kasey. The women had enough votes if Gia would join them. Jake tried to convince Gia who refused to help because she said she promised to keep Kasey safe.
WHO WAS VOTED OFF?
The two voted off of Bachelor Pad 2 first episode were Justin and Alli. Remember when Ali Fedotowsky told Justin to avoid walking out like a wuss on The Bachelorette and own up to things like a man? Well, he failed to do that then and he failed to walk out like a man on BP2 as well.  When he realized he was going home, he refused to shake William’s hands or hug Michael. He told Kasey to stop smiling because Kasey could not even keep his own girlfriend safe and had to get her “ex pilot boyfriend” to do the job. If that weren’t bad enough, Justin yanked the rose off of Jake’s jacket and said, “I’m walking out of here with a rose one way or another.”
The show ended with the masked man from Ashley Hebert’s season sneaking into the BP2 house, sitting on a toilet, reading a People magazine with the caption, “Ifeel so betrayed.” You could hear him say, “Poor Ashley..Bentley Bentley.”

Jake Pavelka Wants America To Have Closure – EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS

SPOTTED: Jake Pavelka (Bachelor, Bachelor Pad 2, Dancing with the Stars) at The Grove in Los Angeles Thursday August 4, 2011, for an interview with Renee Bargh of Extra, moments before Vienna Girardi, Jake’s ex., and her new boyfriend, Kasey Kahl, showed up at the same place for their interview which you can read about here.

Jake told Renee that when he walked into the Bachelor Pad house, he was greeted with a cold welcome from everyone. Renee asked him what he felt when he first saw Vienna, and he said, “nothing.” He added that Vienna is still the same as she was the night of their public breakup on ABC–that nothing had changed.

Jake has recently said that he did not go on the Bachelor Pad for the $250K prize, he went for resolution with Vienna, to find peace in himself, to give Vienna peace so she can go on with whatever she wants to do and, finally, to give America closure.  Good news Jake, America and Vienna have both moved on.

In the previews for BP2, we hear Jake say, “I hope she falls 30,000 feet to her death,” but he told Renee that by that shocking line, he was not wishing death on Vienna. And when the BP 2 premiered,  we learned that Jake was not being mean at all, and he was not even speaking about Vienna when he said that line–it was clever editing.

For all the ladies interested, Jake says he is still single. In fact, he spent half of his interview with Renee flirting with the Australian beauty whose accent was simply melting him.

SPOTTED: Vienna Girardi (Bachelor winner, Bachelor Pad 2) and her boyfriend, Kasey Kahl (Bachelorette, Bachelor Pad 2) were at The Grove in Los Angeles Thursday August 4, 2011, for an interview with Renee Bargh of Extra.

This was the first public outing for a very happy Vienna who just got the nose job she has wanted since she was 9 years old. And let me tell you, she looks awesome! Good news for you, I was one of two photographers there, so, you’re getting pretty rare photos here! The surgery was done by plastic surgeon Dr. Franklin Rose of Houston — The father of fellow Bachelor Pad 2 star, Erica Rose.

“I always felt like I had this little face with, like, a Mr. Potato Head nose!” Giradi recently told Us magazine. “In school, they called me Pinocchio. After ‘The Bachelor,’ bloggers called me ‘horse face.’ Evil names. I even went blonde because my dark hair made my nose look bigger!”

Vienna and Kasey arrived on set today just minutes after Vienna’s ex, Jake Pavelka, had left (See Jake’s photos and interview here), but it didn’t matter to Vienna. She and Kasey looked like two happy love birds and said Bachelor Pad 2 helped strengthen their relationship. Just recently, Vienna had Tweeted: “I love my boyfriend very much @KaseyRKahl Bachelor Pad made our relationship even stronger… Thanks ABC.”

Vienna said today that she had no idea Jake would be on BP 2 until two days before they started shooting. Kasey said he was happy he was in the BP 2 house with the ex-fiances so he could protect Vienna from Jake. OH I CAN’T WAIT TO WATCH it all on BACHELOR PAD 2!
