In one of the *actual* most dramatic "After the Final Rose" reunions in "Bachelor" franchise history, Jason Mesnick dumped chosen one Melissa Rycroft and asked runner-up Molly Malaney to take him back. So nobody really high hopes for that relationship.
But Jason and Molly were married Feb. 27, 2010 and are still going strong -- so strong, in fact, that they have a "Bachelor" bundle of joy on the way.
Jason made the announcement on Twitter, writing, "Yes its true! Wahooooooo!!! Molly is going to be a Mom and Ty a Big Brother! Yippeeeeeee!"
And Molly chimes in, "I step away for 5 minutes & come back to a ton of love. Thank you! We couldn't be more excited about the pint size peanut on the way :)"
The well-wishes from the "Bachelor" family have been pouring in, including creator Mike Fleiss, host Chris Harrison, former "Bachelorette" Jillian Harris and "Bachelor Pad" winner Michael Stagliano,...

Chris Harrison has dropped hints about who will be the next star of The Bachelor. The host told Entertainment Weekly that recent Bachelor Pad contestant Michael Stagliano was "never" in the mix for the job but explained that there are "the usual suspects that we've been talking about all along". Harrison confirmed that Bachelorette stars Sean Lowe and Arie Luyendyk Jr are "frontrunners" and "probably still are in the mix", though Luyendyk has tweeted that he will not be taking part. He explained that producers and ABC executives are looking for someone "very sincere" for the role, saying: "It's not such an easy [choice], like, 'Oh, he's cute, that'd be good'." Harrison revealed that the casting department works the entire year, saying: "There are always (more)...

Bachelor Pad host Chris Harrison has admitted that he was "stunned" by Nick Peterson's shock win on the show's season finale last night (September 10). Peterson controversially took home the $$250,000 prize after choosing to "keep" the money, leaving his partner Rachel Truehart with nothing. Harrison has now written in his blog for Entertainment Weekly that he felt bad for Truehart, who is recovering from the break-up of her relationship with fellow Bachelor Pad contestant Michael Stagliano. He also suggested that Peterson "didn't handle the situation well after he won the money" but pointed out that Bachelor Pad is "a game". "Nobody, especially nobody in Rachel's alliance, gave a damn about Nick," Harrison said. "Not only did they not care about him, but they (more)...

Bachelor Pad is over, but host Chris Harrison won’t have a moment to rest. After 16 seasons of The Bachelor over the past 10 years, Harrison is looking to season 17. Harrison admits there are a few frontrunners from Emily Maynard’s season of The Bachelorette (which ended July 22), but he also throws out a few higher-wattage names, has some harsh words for Olympic Bachelor wannabe Ryan Lochte, and — oh yes — even addresses the possibility of Robert Pattinson as the next Bachelor. Also, what does Harrison consider the “kiss of death” for a reality show? Read on to find out!

What started off as a panel of fresh faces, plastered on fake smiles and a colorful display of a few random fashion choices ended in running mascara, devilish smirks and enough f-bombs to merit one, long consistent beep from the FCC. Harrison was the ringmaster and the contestants were mere players in his three ring circus.
That's right, ladies and gentlemen -- the third installment of the "Bachelor Pad" has taken its final bow and has crowned a new schmuck as its heartless winner.

Before Our Host Chris Harrison even introduces the four remaining contestants out on to the stage, he decides to invite various individuals to join him in the hot seat. Up first is Michael Stagliano.

It seems only fitting that this dramatic season of Bachelor Pad would conclude with an explosive finale - featuring shocking relationship updates, an on-air engagement and a very unexpected allocation of the prize money. The final two couples vying for the $250,000 jackpot were fan favorite Rachel Trueheart and her partner Nick Peters, and season villain Chris Bukowski and his partner Sarah Newlon. Who took home the cash? Read on for spoilers. This season's eliminated housemates chose the winning couple by popular vote, which ended up 13-3 in favor of Trueheart and Peters. But then those two each had to decide...

Chris Harrison has teased that next week's Bachelor Pad finale is 'wild'. The host promised that a number of confrontations will take place during next week's season closer, revealing that Jaclyn Swartz "had it out" with Rachel Truehart over her controversial exit in last night's (September 3) episode. "She's still p***ed she got screwed over," Harrison told TV Guide. Harrison also teased that there is still "animosity" between finalist Chris Bukowski and the women he was accused of playing in the show, Jamie Otis and Blakeley Jones. He promised "huge" fallout for Michael Stagliano and Rachel Truehart, before (more)...

It's still Chris and Sarah versus the rest of the "Bachelor Pad" house, while Ed turns out to be the skanky d-bag we all thought we was and Rachel is "a widow," which .... of course that's what someone on this co-dependent, Stockholm Syndrome show would say.
Post Rose Ceremony
Rachel's having a total meltdown, like she can't date Michael when the show is over in like two weeks. Um, if you are so weak that you worry how you'll survive in this stupid game without him for two weeks, then you don't deserve a guy like Michael Stagliano. Get a rein on your horses, lady.
Nick partners up with Rachel, as Harrison tells them they are playing officially as partners from here on out, which is pretty much exactly what they've been doing so far.

You can always count on Erica Rose to be dramatic, so it was only fitting that she left Bachelor Pad with a bang, taking out Michael Stagliano and rubbing salt in his wounds by bringing up Holly in her closing speech. Erica recently spoke with reporters about her time on the latest season of Bachelor Pad, so read on to find out what she had to say about her feelings towards Michael, the relationships in the house and whether she'd ever do Bachelor Pad again (don't hold your breath...) When did you suspect Michael was lying to you? Had you trusted him up to that point?
"Yeah. I started suspecting that Michael was lying to me, first of all when he told me that Chris voted for me and then Chris came up and was like, 'I haven't voted yet and I'll take you into the voting booth right now...

Bachelor Pad host Chris Harrison has revealed that Rachel Truehart almost quit the show. Truehart considered leaving after her partner Michael Stagliano - with whom she had struck up a romantic relationship - was eliminated from the game in last night's episode. Stagliano was forced to leave after a twist was introduced which meant that the eliminated female, Erica Rose, was the one to choose which man should leave. "Rachel all but walked out the door, and I was about to tell them if Rachel leaves, Erica is back in the game," Harrison told TV Guide. "I think Michael figured that out and talked her into staying." However, Harrison hinted that Truehart and her new partner Nick Peterson will make a good (more)...

Bachelor Pad host Chris Harrison has suggested that Michael Stagliano was forced out of his "comfort zone" in last night's episode. Yesterday's instalment saw Stagliano sent home thanks to a twist which gave the eliminated woman - Erica Rose - the power to choose which man should leave the mansion. Harrison has now written in his blog for Entertainment Weekly that the twist "completely changed this game". "For two seasons now, Michael Stagliano has helped dictate what has gone on at Bachelor Pad," he said. "His game plan has always been to be the quiet assassin, letting others do his dirty work. "This plan has worked extremely well, but this week, because of the twist, he was forced (more)...

Once again this episode starts with the fallout from the last elimination. As you can see, the anger management classes aren’t exactly working for Chris. He’s an angry little elf, isn’t he? Michael had a great line when he said Chris was taking up “all the a-hole space” in the house. You know things are getting out of hand when even Michael Stagliano thinks you’re being a dill-weed.
This week’s challenge, “The Great Fall of China,” really did seem simple when I was explaining it, but as you saw, it was pretty difficult to execute.

Bachelor Pad host Chris Harrison has claimed that Michael Stagliano is controlling the game. Stagliano, who is appearing in the show for the second season in a row, previously suggested that he was looking for love in this year's episodes and has recently got close to Rachel Trueheart. However, Harrison told TV Guide that fans will begin to see "the Stagliano alliance run the house". "Just like last season, his group is driving the house and he's quietly running this game," he said. "He did it this season under the guise of, 'I'm your friend and I'm here to find love and coach you and hang around'. (more)...

"Bachelor Pad" kicks off Monday (July 30) with a montage of how gross and creepy the twins are. Nobody likes them and they make everybody uncomfortable. Meanwhile, Chris is still trying to balance a "partnership" with Blakeley with his wanting to get some nookie with Jamie.
The Competition
Some are acrobats there, performing with hula hoops and balls and whatnot -- Harrison says it's honor of the Summer Olympics going on "right now." Uh huh. We all know this isn't live, right? Why are we pretending?
Anyway. They all have to learn a rhythmic gymnastics routine and perform it for judges to get the rose. Oh, lordy. The two worst are given a vote against them heading into the Rose Ceremony. And the two genders are performing together as a group. They have two hours. Go!
Is this supposed to be amusing for us to watch? Because it's mostly just dumb,...

Ladies (and gentlemen) it's that time again! Yep, Bachelor Pad is back for the third go 'round. This season, in a surprising twist, the veteran men and women who tried to find love on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette will be competing against/coupling up with/picking on super fans in their search for love and money.
Collaborating with me this week is my (very witty) sister, Staci, a fellow Bachelor and Bachelorette fan. Here's what happened this week on BP3:
We're back at the old Bachelor mansion, greeted by Chris Harrison, who says this season's cast includes the lovers, the villains, the fighters, the good guys, the crazy girls, and the ones you love to hate from seasons past. So, who's who?
Chris, from Emily's season, is still nursing a broken heart but thinks BP3 will fix that right up. Lindzi, the equestrian runner-up in Ben's season,...

Did you get your nights mixed up? Yes, usually tonight would be The Bachelorette (and the finale for that matter), but we closed the book on Emily Maynard's love life last night, so that we could make room for some more drama on Bachelor Pad tonight. Former contestants Kalon McMahon, Rachel Trueheart, Blakely Jones, Lindzi Cox, Sarah Newlon, Jamie Otis, Erica Rose, Chris Bukowski, Michael Stagliano, Ed Swiderski, Reid Rosenthal, Jaclyn Swartz, Ryan Hoag, Nick Peterson and Tony Pieper were all a part of this journey to find love (again), and more importantly, to try and win $250,000. But they weren't the only ones. For the first time this season, ABC included a group of...

"Bachelor Pad" is back, y'all. It's like the trashy "Big Brother," which is saying something, you know? We're pumped. Also, it's great how the previews are edited to make it look as though someone gets murdered with a knife. If only.
Also, the super fan twist is great, especially if these people are actual fans and not just pretty people cast on the show. And the contestants need to check their snottiness at the door, because you wouldn't Have a "Bachelor Pad" to go be trashy on if it weren't for super fans, so let's not pretend like your stuff don't stink, ya know?
Introductions Highlights
Reid is apparently still mad at Ed for swooping in and taking Jillian Harris? Um, wasn't that like a thousand years ago in reality show time?
Blakeley says she's remembered as the "girl that not everyone liked." Um, no, sweetie. That was Courtney. Also,...

Here we go, "Bachelorette" fans. Emily Maynard has to choose (or not choose) between the final two men, Arie Luyendyk and Jef Holm. And for the first time ever, "After the Final Rose" is live, brought to you by the not-yet-ready-for-primetime players.
It's most likely live because of some big surprise twist -- do you think it's 'cause Emily chooses one guy initially, then pulls a Jason Mesnick? Or Jefff and Arie found love and ran off together? Or perhaps Emily fell deeply in love with Chris Harrison and they get married on the spot? (That'd be rather amazing, actually.)

We kick things off with Harrison billing this as "the most dramatic television event of the summer." Until some girl goes crazypants on "Bachelor Pad" and stabs Kalon. Or, ya know, the Olympics.
