Last I heard Ben Flajnik, Ames Brown, and Ryan Parks, all from Ashley Hebert’s The Bachelorette, were in line as possibilities to be the next “Bachelor.”  Then a few days ago, I read that Ben was in front of cameras in San Francisco goofing around and talking to the cameras.   To me that’s strong evidence that Ben is the new Bachelor.  So Ames has been eliminated which is sad but maybe his intense relationship with Jackie Gordon, that developed on The Bachelor Pad 2 recently, deterred producers from signing him.  He was so sweet, pink pants and all, running after her limo and jumping in to exit the Bachelor Pad courtyard with her.  He couldn’t have been more romantic and that stunt should be preserved in The Bachelor Pad “best moments” archives.  Unfortunately, someone told me they already broke up.  Then there is Ryan Parks, he probably worried producers because there were some issues with viewer likability.  I liked him but many thought he was just too energetic.   So why did they pick Ben?  At times he seemed disconnected from his emotions and way too laid back to generate much TV momentum.  In contrast, Ryan Parks may generate too much momentum leading to some kind of explosion.   Ames had a geeky charisma that might have been magic if he had been picked.  


Do you like ABC’s choice of Ben Flajnik as the new Bachelor?

Either he or the others can be a good choice.

But, if the new Bachelor is Bentley Williams (the one who hurt Ashley emotionally), then I probably won't be watching the show.
