It’s time for Bachelor Ben’s second week of hot dates, sloppy makeout sessions, and sobbing psychopaths — and I will be there as your guide, liveblogging all of the craziness. Check back to this post at 8 p.m. EST or follow along on Twitter at @friskyliveblog. I cannot wait to see what Blogger Jenna does this week… Keep reading »
Last night on the premiere of the new season of The Bachelor, the world got to meet a whole new cast of women out to win bachelor Ben Flajnik‘s affections. Most of them were the predictably forgettable tanned dental hygienists and account managers of seasons gone by. But producers outdid themselves by casting the show’s first blogger contestant.
Jenna Burke describes herself as a freelance writer, but ABC simply lists her occupation as “Blogger.” We suspect that means she is “unemployed,” but she is certainly a reality TV force to be reckoned with. Here’s what we learned about Jenna last night. Keep reading »
You guys! I finally have Monday nights free! You know what that means? I can liveblog everyone’s favorite show about women crying over a guy they don’t know, aka “The Bachelor”! And what better timing, as this season’s Bachelor is dopey Ben, who will either be 1) so boring you’ll NEED my witty asides to stay awake, or 2) will be so different from the usual brainless hunks that the show attracts that it’ll actually be, dare I say, interesting. No matter what, it’s a win/win situation and I can’t wait to share it with you. Tune back in to this post at 8 p.m. EST. I’ll bring the wine! (FYI, you can follow along in this post or by following @FriskyLiveblog on Twitter.) Keep reading »
And it’s official—ABC has confirmed that Ben Flajnik is in fact the new “Bachelor.” I’m just not sure how to feel about this news. Ben is cute and sweet, and the fact that he is a winemaker makes him quite a bit sexier. But he’s also a thinker—a thinker who sounds like a robot with feelings when he talks—and I’m just not sure that it will be that fun to watch for an entire season. Plus, ABC seems intent on making him sound as nerdy as possible in this bio: “A rare, modern Renaissance man, Ben dabbles in a lot of hobbies and crafts, such as crab fishing, sailing, golf, skateboarding, surfing, playing piano and singing in a tribute band. He is also quite handy with a hammer and saw, and loves fixing and building things, as well as landscaping. The woman who will share his life will also have to share one of his other great loves: his Jack Russell Terrier, Scotch.” He loves landscaping?!?! Woo hoo! [AOL TV]
Luckily, we watched as Ben courted “Bachelorette” Ashley Hebert, so we have the inside track of what the lucky ladies who end up on his season should do to win points with him. After the jump, 10 things to do if you want to win Ben’s love. Keep reading »
Reality Steve is the guy to go to if you want the inside scoop on “The Bachelor.” For eons, he has been giving accurate spoilers for the show, thanks to a reliable set of sources. So even though this story comes to us via Life & Style (who are reporting this week that Jennifer Aniston is preggers with twins, which seems highly suspect), I’m inclined to believe it. Steve says that Ben Flajnik, Ashley Hebert‘s runner-up, has sealed the deal as the next Bachelor. According to him, Ben—who recently was spotted making out with Jennifer Love Hewitt—has been telling friends for weeks that he is the guy 20 women will be competing for. Steve also says that Ben has taken off of work, and was seen shooting footage for the show in San Francisco on Monday.
So what do we think of Ben as the new Bachelor? Keep reading »
It appears that Ben Flajnik, the floppy-haired wine maker who had his proposal turned down by Ashley Hebert on “The Bachelorette,” might have found love after all. And with another woman of note who has been notoriously unlucky in love—Jennifer Love Hewitt. According to Life & Style, Jennifer wrote to Ben via Twitter. “Omg! Ben f except [sic] my final rose !!! I love that ring. Neil lane u rock!! Happy for Ashley…. Gotta book a flight to Sonoma !!!:):)” she wrote. Later in the day, she typed, ““Aaaaaaahhhhhhh Ben f is following me!!!!!”
The point here isn’t even that Jennifer needs to learn the difference between the words ‘accept’ and ‘except’—it’s that it appears she may actually have made the trek to see Ben. Keep reading »
