It appears as if our worst fears are coming true. Despite having stated numerous times, on the record, in this highly influential and widely-read forum that we do NOT endorse using someone from Jillian's season as the next Bachelor, it looks like the jackasses at ABC are going to go ahead and do it anyway. From People.com:
Sources tell PEOPLE that Bachelor producers will likely select one of the three runner-ups from the recent edition of The Bachelorette for the job.
The three "runner-ups" they picture in the article are Jake, Kiptyn and Reid. I think that those pictures may be misleading though considering that technically the three runners-up were Wes, Kiptyn and Reid... and I seriously doubt Wes will ever see the small screen again unless it's on one of those "Where Are They Now?" shows and they cover how Wes had to change his name and move to El Salvador to escape the public ribbing he received after appearing on the Bachelorette.
Ok then, if we move back one more round, Michael was actually the one to get eliminated right before Wes. There has been much prophesying in the blogosphere that Michael was going to be the next Bach, so my assumption is that ABC's choice was between Michael, Reid and Kiptyn. I hope to GOD that there isn't a chance it could be Jake. That would be the most painful/awkward/terrible season of the Bachelor ever, given that he is probably the most boring and pathetic hot man to ever walk the planet. But I'm not even going to pretend to be one of those people who gets all "UGH I won't even watch the season if it's him" because all those people are liars and they end up watching anyway and commenting on every entertainment website/blog out there about how pathetic the Bachelor himself and the show in general are. And then I'm the person who feels the need to comment back and be all "If you hate the show so much then why are you watching and taking time out of your busy day to comment on this lame-ass story on usmagazine.com?" It's exhausting!
But anyhoodle, back to the business at hand - the announcement of the new Bach. Remember to watch Dancing with the Wish-They-Were-Stars on October 13th to find out which one of these als0-rans will be the new Big Man on Bachelor Campus. Unfortch that is still 18 days from now, which means I will spend a lot of time between now and then lamenting the fact that I am probably going to be a fucking 70-year old watching the 47th season of the Bachelorette/Bachelor featuring some loser that can STILL be traced back to Brad Wommack. The horror!

Actually... the adorable Michael is taken these days. (And apparently pursuing a career as a pop singer?) Anyway, he's dating Holly Durst, who I'm going to go ahead and name the Queen of Rebound dating. While she made absolutely no memorable impression on me during her season, she briefly dated Jesse after Deanna dumped him and now she's moved on to Michael.
