Shock! Bachelor Bad 2 contestants Jackie Gordon and Ames Brown have already parted ways, according to People. On Monday’s episode, Brown romantically chose love over money (a chance at winning $250,000) and left the competition to be with Jackie when she was eliminated. However, when reporters caught up with the duo, it has come to light that they onlylasted a few weeks after the elimination. Brown told reporters, “Um, well, we had a great time on the show and chose love over money in the competition. We are not still dating, but we enjoyed every moment we had together. After a little while, we split up. Nothing too exotic about it. We just maybe weren’t the ideal match.”
What are some ways to tell early on that a relationship will last?
Earlier this week on Bachelor Pad 2, we saw the rules of the game change (the theme of the rose ceremony was “ladies night”), Gia voluntarily say goodbye to her chance to find love and money and Ames and Jackie take off together in the happiest limo ride in Bachelor franchise history. In case you missed the episode, check out our exclusive recap. As always, following the episode we checked in with Season 1 winners David Good and Natalie Getz to get their take on the drama!
We saw a new side to Blake in this episode (kissing Melissa even though he claimed not to have feelings with her, cozying up to Holly, etc.). What’s your take on Blake — is what he’s doing a good or bad tactic for winning? Continue reading →
Usually when a former Bachelor or Bachelorette leaves the show voluntarily, like two-time ‘Bachelor Pad’ contestant and swimsuit model, Gia Allemand did last night, it becomes the episode news headliner the next day. But last night’s storybook ending even knocked out coverage of the attention-seeking love triangle usually reserved for Jake Pavelka, Vienna Girardi and Kasey Kahl. It was a scene that leaves us understanding why even bad reality shows are beating out long-standing soap operas. You can’t make this stuff up!
Last night there were two scenes that made single women everywhere believe in love again. First was the closing scene with Ivy-League, world-traveling, portfolio manager, Ames Brown. After he said a heartfelt good-bye to his newfound love and eliminated housemate, Jackie Gordon he turned around to head back towards the house. What happened next made hearts stop everywhere. Instead of continuing his walk toward the contestants, Ames slowly stopped, raised his hand and waved good-bye to them. Giving up the $250,000 prize, he sprinted back towards the limousine with Jackie inside. That fairy-tale exit trumped everything else on the show and gives romance fanatics a reason to believe that Mr. Right is a possibility, especially if you go after the awkwardly smart, rich guy wearing the hot pink pants. In Ames’ own words, “This is the happiest limo ride in Bachelor history.” Continue reading →
On Monday night, we were treated to a three-hour season premiere of Bachelor Pad 2. As promised, we were reunited with some of the most controversial characters in franchise history, including Jake, Vienna, Rated R and Michelle Money. In case you missed the episode, read our recap to get caught up, and check out our inside scoop from the winners of the last season of Bachelor Pad, David Good and Natalie Getz. These two definitely know the game, so we were interested on their take on the first night of action in “the pad”!
Did it surprise you to see Jake confront Kasey so honestly and directly on the first night? And along those same lines, were you shocked to hear that Jake had so many unresolved feelings regarding Vienna? Continue reading →
Broken engagements, boyfriend stealing and love triangles galore. Welcome to this summer’s most anticipated show, Bachelor Pad 2. ABC pulled out all the stops when collecting the current list of castoffs from seasons past. We watched like animals in heat tonight, glued to the television witnessing one of the most talked about and controversial casts this summer. Is it a coincidence that all the references noted above point back to one person: Vienna Girardi? Hmmm, it leaves us wondering if the show would even be worth the three hours it premiered if it wasn’t for her and Jake Pavelka’s drama-induced past.
For those of you who aren’t familiar with Vienna and Jake, it’s safe to say that they’ll probably go down in The Bachelor history as the most remembered (not in a good way) contestants. She won the love and proposal of Bachelor, Jake Pavelka, Season 14 and broke his heart when she sold their break-up story for $90,000, according to reports. Then, they trashed one another on Primetime television when the relationship ended, and it was so brutal that Vienna stormed out of the interview. They haven’t talked since that fight took place a year ago. Now, they’re both back in the house, under the same roof, competing for the $250,000 grand prize.
After saying goodbye to Ames last week during the hometown dates, it’s time for Ashley Hebert to head to Fiji this week with the remaining three men for the overnight “fantasy” dates. While the bachelorette remarks that this has been a “crazy journey” for her, she is very enthusiastic to spend some “private” time with her remaining guys: Constantine Tzortzis, Ben Flajnik, and J.P. Rosenbaum. All veteran viewers of this reality TV show know that this is a pivotal moment each season. The dates are full of exotic outings, deep conversations, tough questions, and the keys to the fantasy suite! As you’ll see in the preview, just when you think that maybe Hebert has in fact found her celebrity love story during this very rocky season of The Bachelorette, it is revealed that someone unexpected pays her a visit in Fiji!
Until Monday, let us know: Who is the uninvited guest crashing the romantic party in South Pacific? Do you think this will be a happy surprise for our leading lady — could it possibly be Bentley again?
Tune into ABC at 8/7c on Monday to check out the latest installment of the drama on The Bachelorette, and see who will be the two suitors advancing to the final rose ceremony!
Last night on The Bachelorette, Ashley Hebert met the in-laws of the remaining four men: Constantine Tzortzis, Ames Brown, Ben Flajnik, and J.P. Rosenbaum. As she traveled to the contestant’s hometown and met their families, her spark grew for some of the guys, while she questioned her relationship and love with others. In the end, she sent Brown home. Here’s what Bachelorette expert Jesse Csincsak had to say about the episode in our exclusive interview: … On the edge of your seat? Click here for the rest.
This week on The Bachelorette, Ashley has narrowed the pool to four men for the hometown dates. Coming up are visits with the families of Constantine, Ames, Ben and J.P. Let’s see what it was like to meet the in-laws:
First up was food-lover, Constantine and a visit to his family in Cumming, GA. After a cozy chat by a lake, Ashley and her man ventured off to his Italian restaurant. Yes, Greek heritage with an Italian restaurant-interesting combo. Anyway, the heat was certainly on in the kitchen as the lovebirds cooked up some treats. Following their delicious quality time the pair went to meet Constantine’s extremely close-knit family. All season, we’ve known Constantine was a family man, and after his hometown date we can now see why. Ashley not only met his immediate family but the couple was surprised when the doorbell rang and in walked about 20 more extended family members to greet Constantine for a Welcome Back Greek-style dance party. Despite the good times and cool dance moves, Constantine’s parents emphasized over and over that love takes time. This seemed to be the theme of the night from most of the families.
Next week on reality TV’s The Bachelorette, Ashley Hebert and her four guys will be returning to the states after a whirlwind tour of Asia. That means it’s time for the all-important hometown dates! This week, the bachelorette will be meeting the families of the following men: Constantine Tzortzis, Ben Flajnik, J.P. Rosenbaum, and Ames Brown. Creating a solid relationship with the family is a critical step in TheBachelorette process, and the sneak peek promises that Hebert will immediately feel at home with Tzortzis’s family. After remarking “I love your family, and I’m moving in,” the bubbly brunette is treated to a “Welcome Home, Constantine!” dance party with the Atlanta native’s extended family. If Hebert is looking for a relationship and love with a family man, maybe this is it — after all, Tzortzis says that family is an “integral part” of his life. Could he be the winner of The Bachelorette season 7?
Last night on The Bachelorette, Ashley Hebert said goodbye to Lucas Daniels and Ryan Park, and their journeys ended in Taiwan. In addition to finding out who the final four are — J.P. Rosenbaum, Ben Flajnik, Constantine Tzortzis, and Ames Brown — Emily Maynard returned to the Bachelor mansion to speak about her celebrity break-up with Brad Womack.

Last night’s episode of The Bachelorette left us with the final six men! Ashley Hebert’s game face was on as she committed to finding the total package in a guy — an emotional and physical connection — before she would grant a rose for hometown dates. The episode featured J.P. Rosenbaum whining about the fact that Ben Flajnik had an overnight date and Ryan Park looking like he was on the brink of a nervous breakdown if he didn’t get a solo date with the bachelorette. However, the highlight of the evening was when Emily Maynard came back on the show to chat with Chris Harrison about her relationship and love with Brad Womack — or lack thereof. If you missed last night’s episode of the reality TV show, here’s how it all went down: Continue reading →

After Ashley Hebert’s confession to host Chris Harrison last week in Thailand and sneak peeks from ABC, it was no surprise that this week’s drama would center around Bentley Williams. Before the dates could start in Hong Kong, our bachelorette was treated to a private meeting with the bad boy. In the privacy of Williams’s hotel room, the pair had an honest conversation about Hebert’s feelings about their “dot dot dot” romance. After the villain said, “I feel like where you’re at in this process and journey, we should call it a period,” the bachelorette finally seemed to see his true colors. As she walked away from his room, she called him a “player” and shared that she felt “liberated” to move forward in her relationships and love with the remaining bachelors. With that chaos in the past, this week’s reality TV episode would feature two one-on-one dates as well as a group date. …Want to know more? Click here!

Last night on The Bachelorette, we said goodbye to Ben Castoriano, William Holman, and Nick Peterson. Their journey for a relationship and love with Ashely Hebert ended in the ancient city of Chiang Mai, Thailand. We also learned that our bachelorette needs closure with Bentley Williams in order to move on with her other guys — and it looks like he’ll be coming back next week! Here’s what Bachelorette expert Jesse Csincsak had to say about the episode in our exclusive celebrity interview:

Last night on ABC’s The Bachelorette, the gang traveled to the ancient city of Chiang Mai, Thailand. Ashley Hebert was optimistic that it was “the perfect city to fall in love” and she hoped the change of scenery would mark her new beginning with the bachelors. Here’s what happened during this chapter of her love story:
Last night on The Bachelorette, Ashley Hebert put her best foot forward to move past the heartbreak of losing Bentley Williams and traveled to Thailand with the guys. Her relationships and love with Constantine Tzortzis, J.P. Rosenbaum, and Ben Flajnik seemed to be on the fast-track. And while the men questioned Ryan Park’s genuineness, Hebert and the boys said goodbye to West. Here’s what resident Bachelorette expert Jesse Csincsak’s had to say in our celebrity interview:
Ashley Hebert was devastated last week, after Bentley’s departure and William’s cutting remarks during the “roast” group date. After having a few days off to mend her broken heart, our bachelorette was back in action and ready for a “fresh start” – in Phuket, Thailand! Here’s how the guys fared this week on ABC’s The Bachelorette:

It’s week 3 of ABC’s The Bachelorette and leading up to the episode, we were promised that self-proclaimed front-runner Bentley would become the biggest villain in Bachelorette history and bring heartbreak to Ashley. In case you missed out on the action, here’s what left our dentist in distress questioning if the she’d ever find her Prince Charming:
