For the ladies out there looking for a man who will guard and protect their heart, Kasey Kahl is officially off the market. The popular season six star of The Bachelorette proposed to his longtime girlfriend Amanda Waters this past weekend. As you would expect from the Bachelor Pad 2 alum, the engagement was over the top and cheesy. According to Wetpaint.com, the proposal took place in Las Vegas where Kahl got down on one knee after an elaborate show in front of friends and family. The reality star took to Twitter to announce the engagement and posted a photo of Water’s pretty new ring with the caption, “She said yes… #happiestdayofmylife #lovemyfamilyandfriends #nutriefam #holycrapimafiancee.”

Looks like former Bachelor Pad stars, Tenley Molzahn and Kiptyn Locke have reunited and couldn’t be happier. The couple first met and got together on the show after being runner-ups on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, respectively, but broke up last year. Now fast-forward to now the reality stars have rekindled their flames, and according to People, have been back on “for several months now”. What helped the two stars reconnect? Reportedly being out of the public eye has benefited their relationship and allowed the lovers to focus on the future. The pair’s latest romantic outing was on Valentine’s Day, out of the spotlight at Hotel Del Cornado in San Diego, where Locke surprised Molzahn with a gondola ride and together they oversaw the sunrise and rising of the moon. The T.V. sweethearts are excited for their second chance and Molzahn confesses marriage could be on the horizon for the two lovebirds.
What are some things to consider before getting back together with an ex?
In the season finale of Bachelor Pad, it was Nick Peterson that walked away with the $250,000 jackpot, leaving his partner, Rachel Trueheart, empty handed. However, Peterson was not the only one to come out a winner. A surprise ending to the show happened when Tony Pieper proposed to his girlfriend and partner, Blakeley Jones. It appeared as if both Jones, 28, and Chris Harrison, host of the show, were unaware of Pieper’s, 30, plans. According to People, Jones has been reported saying that although she knew she would marry Pieper someday, she had no idea when it would happen. Let’s hope their marriage is not as fast as their dating relationship.

Even though time has passed since Emily Maynard, 28, dumped Chris Bukowski earlier this year on The Bachelorette, Bukowski says he’s still not over her. Bukowski, 25, has since moved on to ABC’s the Bachelor Pad, and has found a new love interest, Sarah Newlon. On a date together, he admitted to Newlon, 28, that being dumped by Maynard was probably one of “the worst things I’ve ever experienced…it’s heartbreaking.” A good thing he has going for him is how Newlon is willing to lend a shoulder to his pain.

No idea what the future holds for us but we will always remain friends,” replied Girardi, also via Twitter.
How do you know when it’s time to go your separate ways?
It was exactly one month ago today that Michael Stagliano and his ex-fiance, Holly Durst had their victory win on the season finale of ABC’s ‘Bachelor Pad 2.’ Despite the uncomfortable (and surprising) public announcement on the show that Holly was engaged to contestant Blake Julian, Michael took the high road and chose to share the winnings with her. But now, that’s all behind him and it’s his turn to smile. “Right now my job, my music and my life outside the Bachelor Pad are good. I’ve never been happier,” he says.

This dramatic season of Bachelor Pad 2 has finally come to an end. In this week’s episode, the contenders performed with Cirque de Soleil’s Ka, Blake proposed to Holly, the winners were declared and the next Bachelor was announced. We had a chance to chat with our Bachelor Pad 2 experts, David Good and Natalie Getz, to see what their thoughts were about the season finale.
Kasey and Vienna did quite well in the final challenge, but ultimately didn’t get a chance to compete for the final prize. What are your closing thoughts on how they chose to play the game? Do you think they will remain together long-term?
He said: I think they played the game great! People can dislike them as a couple but they still controlled the whole show till the end. As far as a couple, I wish them the best but I don’t see it working out from what we got to see of them on TV. Continue reading →

Michael Stagliano, 27, may have won The Bachelor Pad, but he ultimately lost ex-fiance Holly Durst, 28, to fellow contestant Blake Julian. Durst’s engagement to Julian was revealed to Stagliano on the show’s finale. Putting that shocking news aside, our jars also dropped when we read the jilted bachelor’s statement to People, which read, “We were engaged and therefore I will always care about and love her so it makes me happy when she is happy.” Way to take it like a man, Michael.

As Labor Day weekend wrapped up, we were all treated to a suspense-filled episode of Bachelor Pad 2! During the episode, viewers witnessed a strategic challenge, romantic fireworks between Michelle and Graham, Erica’s over-the-top overtures towards Blake, and a final showdown between Blake/Erica and Kirk/Ella. To make sense of this crazy installment of summer’s guiltiest pleasure, we spoke to David Good and Natalie Getz, winners of Bachelor Pad 1.
Michelle and Graham’s relationship took a big step forward this week — were you surprised they won the competition, given they have not been together for that long? What did you think about their strategy during the game?
He Said: I think it has been growing; we have just not seen much of them because of the Jake/Vienna/Kasey BS. Best strategy in a game I have seen yet on the Pad! Continue reading →

Two stars of Bachelor Pad 2, Michelle Money and Graham Bunn, have managed to keep their relationship going long after the cameras stopped rolling, according to People. Money, who returned to Utah after the show, and Bunn, who now resides in New York, make sure they keep in contact almost every day. How do they do it? Well, it’s not visiting each other every weekend or doing “hanky panky” over the phone. The two keep their relationship going strong with communication.
What are some keys to making a long distance relationship work?
This episode kicked off with Blake and Erica teaming up for the Nearlywed Challenge, an offshoot of the Newlywed Game, despite his real desire to be with Holly. However, Holly had promised Michael that she would stick with him to the end, although her behavior throughout the episode indicated that she might be having second thoughts about that decision.
Bachelor Pad 2 drama queen Melissa Schreiber insists she’s not nearly as emotional off-camera as she was on the show, according to People. The reality star, who ended up getting played by Blake on season 2 of the show after falling for him very quickly, says she no longer has feelings for him. “My friends and family have been so supportive. They know that I’m not that emotional outside of the Bachelor world,” said Schreiber. “It’s so funny. Every episode, I get like 50 text messages saying, ‘Who are you? We don’t recognize you on TV.’ For some reason, when in the Bachelor house, I’m overly emotional.”

The drama is never-ending on Bachelor Pad 2! This week’s episode started with Jake’s dramatic farewell, a kissing competition and more emotional breakdowns from Melissa. Two more contenders — William and Melissa — were eliminated in their quest for love and money. After this crazy episode, we chatted with our Bachelor Pad 2 experts, David Good and Natalie Getz, to see what they thought about the action.
We learned tonight that Blake and Ella are the best kissers in the house — were you surprised they were crowned the King and Queen of Kissing in the Pad? When you first learned of the competition tonight, who did you predict would be the winners?
He Said: I was not surprised actually. Ella is pretty quiet and they say “it’s always the quiet ones” and she has nice lips. I thought Michelle might win when I first heard of it, but she vowed out so it was wide open. Continue reading →
With Jake Pavelka eliminated, a new love triangle — involving Blake, Holly and Michael — has emerged on this week’s episode of Bachelor Pad 2. This week’s challenge might have ended some relationships and put a spark on others.
Things got pretty crazy in the latest episode of Bachelor Pad 2. We saw Melissa flip out, Erica make the moves on Jake and a showdown between Kasey and Jake for the final rose. After the episode, we were left shaking our heads that Mr. Pavelka was actually eliminated, and were anxious to get thoughts about the dramatic episode from David Good and Natalie Getz, winners of Bachelor Pad 1.
Were you surprised the men did better at the synchronized swimming challenge? What factors were most important to you as you were judging the performances?
He Said: I was a little surprised until after and sat down and thought about it. Guys in the house on all the shows get along better than the girls do. The producers always talked to me about the Bachelor and Bachelorette — the guys are typically easy going, whereas the girls tend to be catty and backstabbing to each other. It’s the same reason most of my guy friends have like 15 good friends and the girls I know have like three or four, at most. This makes it easier for the guys to work together as a team, and it showed. Continue reading →
This week’s episode of Bachelor Pad 2 featured two of our very own, Natalie Getz and David Good. And boy did they make a splash judging the synchronized swimming challenge.
Synchronized Swimming Challenge:
Synchronized swimming is no easy task. You need rhythm and coordination in order to achieve a great performance. With former cheerleaders and dancers on the girl’s team, your first impression is that the girls would have it in the bag. Guess again! It was a mere foreshadowing when the first two girls in the line-up could not even dive into the pool. Lucky for them, their bright, flowery head caps and matching bathing suits kept us distracted from their lack of grace. It was a total shocker when Michelle Money planted a big fat kiss on Holly Durst but it helped win her a vote.

Kasey Kahl showed Vienna Girardi his true feelings for her with a song on this week’s episode of Bachelor Pad 2. In a clip from the show on UsMagazine.com, Girardi seems to truly enjoy this display of affection, but she is unable to contain her composure as she giggles throughout the intimate love song.
What are some romantic gestures to make your partner feel special?
Love appears to have finally pulled through for an upbeat Bachelor Pad 2 alum Gia Allemand. The 27 year-old model said that her relationship with boyfriend Ryan Anderson, power forward for the Orlando Magic, fell into place back in February when the two began dating, according to UsMagazine.com. Allemand and Anderson met while Bachelor Pad 2 star was doing a photo shoot in The Bahamas in February and from there, the two were inseparable. Fate was on the couple’s side as Allemand was offered a job that enabled her to live in Florida and be flown into The Bahamas on the weekend for modeling engagements. “Not only was it love at first sight, but it seemed like a touch of destiny. We now both live in Orlando and couldn’t be happier,” she said. “I think I finally found the one!”
What are some ways to stay positive about finding love?
