--
Ben Flajnik, better known as the guy who had his marriage proposal rejected last season finale of The Bachelorette, will star in the next season of The Bachelor on ABC.
In the season finale episode of The Bachelorette, Flajnik told Ashley Hebert:
"Every second I spend with you makes me fall deeper in love with you. I want to thank you for allowing me to feel completely and utterly vulnerable and open with you.”
According to reports, Emily Maynard returned the engagement ring Brad Womack gave her when he proposed in the season finale back in November.
A show insider says, “It’s completely over now.”
Obligatory proposal? Check. Appearance on Ellen? Check. Face above the word “Heartbreak” on magazine cover? Yup, it’s all covered, and you can now both update your IMDB pages.

On last night’s finale, Brad Womack chose contestant Emily Maynard to be his new fiancé, proposing to her by saying, “I’m asking you to give me your forever.”
And by "your forever", I guess he meant until the next commercial break.
Because moments later, it was reported that the couple had broken up because of Emily’s insecurity. She admitted she had trouble seeing the man she loved with so many different women each week.
A show producer told Popeater, “Emily is not able to forgive Brad for what she considers cheating week-after-week with other girls."
What did she think the other women were there for, set décor?

Brad proposed with a Neil Lane diamond engagement ring while runner up Chantal O'Brien was left in tears.
"You're the one, Em. You're my once in a lifetime. Please let me be your once in a lifetime. Please let me be your best friend. Please let me protect you and your beautiful daughter, and please let me love you for the rest of your life. I love you, Emily. I am truly in love with you. Emily, please make me happier than I've ever been in my life and marry me."
"I've gone through so much to get to where I am today. I've made so many mistakes and had so many ups and downs. I always believed that when the time was right, I'd find the woman that I've been looking for for my entire life. I knew it would take opening up ways in I wasn't used to….All it took was coming here and finding you," he added.
Now that the show has aired they can finally go public with
What did you think of Brad's choice?

Sounds familiar? It's because it's the second time he will be on the show as the Bachelor. Brad became infamous back in 2007 when he appeared on the show and during the final rose ceremony, he ditched both women - DeAnna Pappas and Jenni Croft.
"Brad, this time, pick somebody!" DWTS host Tom Bergeron joked to Womack, who was in the audience.
Womack is a guest on The Ellen DeGeneres show today and during the interview he will talk about why is won't go away and has decided to come back and attempt to find love again.
He blames the fact that he didn't pick anyone on his commitment issues saying, Let's says this as adamantly as I defended myself it really tough to have 13/14 million Americans call you a jerk. So I spent a year or two maybe three defending myself adamantly. To answer your question, yes, I definitely have or had commitment issues. More importantly that process is difficult. I thought that I was as open as I was supposed to be and clearly I wasn't. I walked away and wound up all alone and left two girls standing there.'
And later in the show he attempts to convince us that he's doing to do the show because he does believe he can find love and not because it was his only chance to be on television again.
"I'll tell you why I'm here again because I believe it can work. I don't care if people call me an idiot or don't believe those words coming out of my mouth. I truly believe that it can work. So here are 25-30 women that I never ever would meet in regular life, and I'm clearly doing something wrong. I'm still single. So why I not, I really do believe that this can work."
People still buy this crap? It's just entertainment!

Brad appeared on the show back in 2007 and infamously jilting both DeAnna Pappas and Jenni Croft. But apparently he still has a little douchiness left in him and wants another go at the show.
"Brad is very sincere and believes in the show," a source close to the series tells the new Us Weekly. "That's why he didn't pick someone last time. He was never in it for the publicity. He wants to find a wife."
Wants to find a wife or wants another round of 15 minutes of fame? Why pick Brad when there are a million other eligible bachelors in the world? Have we officially run out of decent eligible men?! Are you excited about Brad coming back? Will you tune in to watch him again?

Radar Online reported this week that when Pavelka’s ex-girlfriend came forward saying she’d hooked up with him since he proposed to Vienna. She also says their relationship was put on hold when Jake got picked as The Bachelor.
She says he contacted her the day after filming wrapped on the show, saying the 25 women he was with on the show, including Vienna, meant nothing to him. She says he even used the “L” word.
Responding to the controversy, Jake tells ET his relationship with his ex was well over before the show, and that it “simply did not work out.”
"There was no overlap with that or any other relationship during the show," he continued. "It is unfortunate that people such as this are trying to financially capitalize on or disparage my incredible relationship with Vienna. I only wish everyone could be as happy for us as we are happy together."
Who do you believe?

She tells Bonnie, "I think it is actually an OK thing that I am here today in this position," Molzahn says of being single. "If he was in love with both of us, really in love with us, if he was saying 'I do love you' to me at the same day he told Vienna, 'I love you, will you marry me" ... I think I am in a good position because I don't want to be someone's second."
Today Bachelor host Chris Harrison talked with Ryan Seacrest on his radio show about this interesting season of the show. Like most, he didn't expect Jake to pick Vienna. But Chris has seen this scenario play out numerous times in the past, and knows it's best to stay out of the drama.
"Who are we to say that they don't deserve each other and aren't happy?"Harrison said this morning. But he added, "If this was put up to popular vote, Vienna would not be the girl. Jake did what was best for him ... I am proud and appreciative of that. In the end, he really fought like hell for Vienna and maybe that goes to show how in love he is with her."
We feel bad that Tenley doesn't have the chance to be the bachelorette now! But we're sure she'll be scooped up in no time by a great guy.

What millions of people think does not really matter because for now Jake and Vienna.
Meanwhile, Jake wrote a blog after the show expressing his happiness. He said: " I was looking for a girl that is compassionate, romantic, passionate and protective, not to mention wild fireworks, and I found it. I am so in love — more than I have ever been. A nice guy found a great girl! As everyone gets to know Vienna for who she truly is, you will see how wonderfully compassionate she is. I am sooo happy, and what more can I ask for?"
Were you guys as disappointed as we were during the finale?

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the show will be called Bachelor Pad, and will bring back 20 contestants from 13 previous seasons of the show. It’s being considered the first “all-stars” reunion for the show.
Executive producer Martin Hilton says, "All these people have been friends, been enemies, they date each other and bring all this great backstory to the show. It seemed like there was an opportunity to combine that world with a new competitive reality show."
The contestants will compete in challenges, with some competitions inspired by incidents from past seasons. Each episode will conclude with evictions from the house.
ABC has ordered seven episodes, with Chris Harrison as the host. ABC plans on premiering the show in the late summer after the Bachelorette finale.
Names of the cast have not yet been released, but Hilton said that top players, including former winners, will be a part of the cast. The big question is, without a love interest, what are these guys competing for?? Hopefully ABC will figure that out before they start shooting!
