Tragically, it seems that Gia Allemand and Ryan Anderson’s last exchange was in the form of an argument. According to People, on August 12, the former reality show star confronted her boyfriend with her suspicions of infidelity. According to Anderson’s statement to the police, at one point during the argument, Allemand told him that she still loved him to which he replied, “I don’t love you anymore.” Later that day, Allemand hanged herself with a vacuum cleaner chord and died two days later when she was taken off of life support.

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!”

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?

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.”
