Cutie-boy Jake (Pavelka) who was rejected on the last edition of ABC's The Bachelorette is back as the the latest guy looking for his soul mate (gag) on The Bachelor. He is a commercial pilot, hard-bodied and too sincere and sweet to be real. After a storybook childhood in Dallas, Texas, Jake is single, 31 and now back in LA to fall in love. Good lick with that. And Jillian, who rejected him, and her fiance, Ed, came by to help him check out the babes. Will his heart be broken again? And Chris Harrison, the hardest working man in show business (that is sarcasm you hear) is back to announce. Best job on TV!
We have film clips of 17 of the 25 girls who are hoping to be "the one? Then there is clip about Jake where he is shirtless. To this I say, "Thank you, ABC." The other 8 are shown while everyone is getting out of the limo. They vary but not by alot. We have 11 blonds, 1 dark blond, 11 brunettes and 2 kind of auburn-ish. 24 Caucasians and one Cambodian. Some cute, some not so cute. Big boobs on parade, and some more modest, but not by much. Their jobs range from makeup artist, waitress, restaurant manager, to flight attendat, airline pilot and a captain in the Air National Guard. Oh yes, one of them is a home maker. Several have children. There is at least one divorcee.
There was the clamoring for "alone time" with lots of cutting in. In an effort to become memorable, one dressed up in a 1950-like 'stewardess' outfit, and one started passing a football to Jake which ended up with all these be-gowned women running all over. Looked like a weird prom night. One girls has an imaginary fiance and wears a ring. And one girl, Michelle, looks like a stalker and is way too intense.
The "first impression rose" went to Tinsley, a sweet girl who had given him a peck on the lips and then was embarrassed about it. It seems, she said in a voice-over, that the only person she had ever been with was her ex-husband.
So 15 stay and 10 go. Cue the scary music while he calls the name and hands out the roses. Jake starts to call names and smiles start to fade. About halfway throguh, crazy Michelle starts rolling her eyes. We get down to the last name - Chris Harrison announces this is "the final rose" and....NO NO NO It's crazy Michelle.
The preview clips show an implied lesbian affair, hot tub scenes, lots of lies and fear of when Jake finds out, Jake looking upset, Jake getting angry and then Jake crying. "He is not looking for the most beautiful girl, he is looking for the most beautiful heart." Gag me. I can't wait until next week!!
