We’ve got questions, and you’ve (maybe) got answers! With another week of TV gone by, we’re lobbing queries left and right about shows including The Affair, Bones, Criminal Minds and Grey’s Anatomy!
1 | Did John Noble’s Sleepy Hollow return make you miss him even more?
2 | On Grimm, isn’t Meisner much more fun dead than he ever was alive?
3 | Did The Affair really think we’d want to spend half of the finale focused on new character Juliette over, say, seeing Alison or Cole at all? (Speaking of which, why so little of Ruth Wilson and Joshua Jackson this season?...

All week long, Vulture explores what happens to reality TV contestants after the show ends — and the future of the genre itself. To date or not to date. This is the question that typically follows a stint on a reality-tv dating show. Once a reality contestant’s been exposed, trying to make meaningful connections in the world can be a tall order (however flattering the attention). Vulture asked Chris Bukowski, Courtney Robertson, and Reid Rosenthal of The Bachelor franchise, along with Marissa Floro of Dating Naked, to share their struggles and experiences. *****Reid Rosenthal is best known for his vulnerable marriage proposal to Jillian Harris, after she had eliminated him on The Bachelorette. He gave Bachelor Pad a shot three years later. The 36-year-old Philadelphia realtor has been in a relationship for two years, but he well remembers the heady months after he became one of the franchise’s most...

In an interview with host Chris Harrison, he teased that they had to come up with a different word to describe this year's "Bachelor Pad" finale - "disturbing," as opposed to "dramatic." So needless to say, we're chomping at the bit to find out what goes down.
The panel of evicted contestants are introduced -- what in the heck is Jamie wearing? She's like if H&M was putting out a line of Native American princess chic. And also, Erica Rose's hair looks 1000x better than it did on the show. Blondes rarely look good with that platinum, trashy color. That nice honey color is so much better.
After a pointless video recap, we learn that Kalon/Lindzi are still going strong, so that's cool. Of course Erica must stick her giant $0.02 in, telling Lindzi to be careful and that she sees Kalon around town with different girls all the time.

You can tell that this is going to be an intense episode of Bachelor Pad - just the opening "here's what's coming up" sequence is pretty lengthy. We've only just had the last rose ceremony, but David's already talking about the power couples in the house: Chris and Blakeley, Kalon and Lindzi, Rachel and Michael and Ed and Jaclyn. But will those couples be intact by the end of the episode? Ed and Jaclyn are certainly feeling very smug, since they got Reid out (there's a lot of talk about him being a "dummy" and lots of cat-that-got-the-cream grins.) On the other hand, Jamie and David are both feeling a little nervous since they know that people who had agreed with their plan had then gone and done something else. That's the name of the game, guys! Anyway, Jamie suspects Kalon and Lindzi (the scoundrels) but the pair agree they'll...

Self-proclaimed Massachusetts mean girl Jaclyn Swartz came to Bachelor Pad with dollar signs in her eyes and disgust for Blakely in her heart. But now Swartz, 27, admits the game show and her "default partnership" with Ed Swiderski changed her for the better. Not that she doesn't still want the prize money, as she tells People. Did you come for love, money or both? My main focus was winning the money. Never in a million years would I think that it's a game for love. Yet you hooked up with Ed. LoudlyEd's noises are pretty epic. I don't recall hearing those...

The Olympic flame might have gone out in London, but on Bachelor Pad, the wildfires are just starting to burn. With Reid gone, there was a huge shift of power in the house and the people left in the wake had to come together to try and get rid of the now-forming power couples. Our competition this week, the Game Show Mash-Up, was really a no-holds-barred, tell it like it is kind of competition, and let me tell you, it wasn’t long before the claws came out.

Introducing Chris Harrison, census taker of doom. As the Bachelor Pad roomies either celebrated or squirmed following Reid and Donna's ouster, the ever chipper host returned to the house to distribute presumably highly personal surveys that he encouraged the 14 remaining contestants to answer as openly and honestly as possible. Well, that was bound to cause mass devastation, now wasn't it? The fruit of their box-checking labor manifested itself in "Bachelor Pad Game Show Mashup," a trivia challenge ultimately won by power couple Ed Swiderski, who got lucky with questions like 'Who was the fifth Bachelorette?' (er, Jillian Harris) and Jaclyn Swartz, aka "the fakest in the...

"You'll see things completely blow up. I was so happy not to be part of that," Jaclyn Swartz said in a conference call with the media today. She also discussed the Ed/Reid debacle, and becoming friends with someone she did not expect.

In case you were worried that ABC’s Monday-night crapsterpiece Bachelor Pad was going highbrow — all together now: “not me!” — this week’s episode featured a “Hot Sludge Fundae” obstacle course with a sack race/peanut slathering station that allowed host Chris Harrison to instruct the 16 remaining contestants to get in their “nut sacks.”
David and Rachel won immunity, and chose to bequeath roses of safety onto Jamie and Michael, respectively. This left Ed and Reid stirring up stale drama and trying to ensure the other man would be ousted. Meanwhile, it was either Blakeley (who I’m kinda starting...

Bachelor Pad host Chris Harrison has suggested that alliances are now beginning to form on the show. Writing in his blog for Entertainment Weekly, Harrison suggested that "winning the competition is paramount" this season as the house is "divided". Referring to this week's episode, which saw Reid Rosenthal and Donna Zitelli voted out of the show, Harrison said: "This week's voting was just like all the rest, a complete free for all. "The only difference was it finally seems like alliances are actually being formed and holding up during the vote." Harrison also described the "battle" between Rosenthal (more)...

Bachelor Pad is refusing to let up on the drama, isn't it? Ed might have survived the rose ceremony last week by the skin of his teeth, but it's all anyone can talk about. Sarah's crying in the bedroom because she feels bad for hooking up with him and then voting for him (and by the way Ed snubs her and refuses to talk to her, it seems he's not too happy about it either). Reid's feeling pretty worried too, because if it gets out that he was the one behind the "get Ed out" campaign, he might be in a little trouble. "I'm screwed," he worries. That kind of sums it up! He realises he needs to figure out a new plan. Ed's head's also whirring - in fact, he feels so gutted about his close shave that he's thinking about leaving the show (it's so awful being betrayed)! Luckily,...

Ice cream can't even put out the drama-fueled fire on the 'Bachelor Pad!' Friends become enemies and girls sob over boys on the Aug. 6 episode. Read on for more details! The episode kicked off wtih Reid Rosenthal admitting he's on the chopping block this week after trying to send Ed Swiderski home. "If people realize I'm the one who tried to send Ed home, I could lose," Reid says. But before voting, these contestants have plenty of adventures that await them. First stop? A slippery ice cream course full of hot fudge and whip cream. Sounds sweet, but it quickly turns sour and messy. The ladies are the first to go through the ice cream-filled course, but Chris Harrison decides to make them a milkshake. The regular couples are forced to part ways making Sarah super happy because she ends up with Michael Stagliano -- but she seems...

The latest "Bachelor Pad" picks up with the fallout from Ed's near-eviction. Sarah, the girl who thought she was pathetic for not hooking up, is now feeling so guilty about voting to evict her hook-up Ed. She's actually crying about it. And Ed is thinking about leaving because he can't handle the game. Things are harsh when you're sober, huh, Ed? But that lasts about five seconds, as Man-clyn convinces him to stay. So .... who cares?
Competition
They're taking the inmates on a road trip! The obstacle course they have to run is hot fudge sundae-themed (not the Saved by the Bell singing group, an actual sundae). The girls wade through ice cream, slide down hot fudge, crawl through whip cream, then dump nuts on themselves and hop to their partner in their "nut sacks" (yes, *snicker*), then the partners do it in reverse. It's called Hot Sludge Fun Day,...

"If at first you don't succeed try, try again." That's the mantra Bachelor Pad's Reid followed which ultimately cost him the game.
On the third episode of this summer's guilty pleasure, Reid attempted to get his Bachelorette Season 5 comrade Ed axed, but fell short thanks to Sarah cluing Ed into the plan. With help from Jaclyn, the duo turned the ploy around and got the Philadelphia realtor eliminated. And now that the back-stabbing has really begun, host Chris Harrison says it only gets more tense from here. Keep reading for more on the new alliances, why the challenge was harder than it looked and who Harrison says is sliding through the game.

The backstabbing and betrayal continued on Bachelor Pad. Between Ed's shock of being voted to go home from people he trusted last week and Reid hoping his conspiracy against Ed wouldn't get figured out (ha, yeah right), the entire cast got a taste of sweetness tonight Literally. Their challenge, which took place away from the mansion (yay, road trip), involved a relay race, full of obstacles that required getting up close and personal with obscene amounts of ice cream, hot fudge, whipped cream and nuts. Yes, they became human sundaes. The partner pairings were shaken up for this challenge, and although Jamie had a strong lead for the girls, her relay partner Ed just couldn't...

This week on Bachelor Pad, things get sticky and nutty as the couples compete for a rose. Ed confronts Reid about last week's Rock the Vote to Get Ed Out campaign, but it's a dud of a fight. Ed gets wasted and hooks up with a someone in the house again -- it's oddly comforting to see some things never change, including more girls crying.
Sticky Situation
The couples this week literally become human hot fudge sundaes -- and I love that the show will do just about anything to show their cast in a somewhat embarrassing light.
The women have to go through each "layer" of sundae, complete with running through what Chris Harrison calls a "nutsack." Chris, leave the dirty joke to the players, please.

Ed Swiderski doesn't take reality television seriously, and if you do, he thinks you're weird. But several times on this season of the Bachelor Pad, he's reminded that if he doesn't take it a bit more seriously, he'll be sent packing.
That was especially true this week, when we saw him sweating bullets after Reid Rosenthal went behind Ed's to send him home. It seems Reid is still holding a grudge that Ed won when they were both on Jillian's season of The Bachelorette.
In a conference call with the media today, Ed touched on where he and Reid stand moving forward on and off the show, his thoughts on this season's playboy-villain Chris Bukowski, and whether he finds romance in the house:...

We’re only two weeks in and already things are getting out of hand on Bachelor Pad. The great thing about this season is how much things have changed and will continue to change with every coming week. As soon as Paige and Swat said their goodbyes, I expected everyone to just go to bed and get rested for the next competition — but not this group. The twins, Erica and Brittany, had been after each other all week, and no one really knew why. It was pretty clear that if these two girls didn’t calm down, they were on a path to self-destruction.

"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?

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,...

At the end of last night's Bachelorette finale, Chris Harrison promised us the most entertaining, dramatic and controversial season of Bachelor Pad ever. Which means one thing: drama. If that doesn't get you jumping on the couch with excitement, I don't know what will.
The potential is there: Everyone still remembers what a big meanie Kalon is, and we're all expecting him to say other awful things. Lovable Stags is there probably to get his heart broken -- yet again. There's Ed/Reid, and plenty of scheming women. And this season, the show brings on some super fans, who I'm just hoping aren't also super annoying. Just play the game, folks. There's so much at stake: Love!
Oh, and $250,000.
So let's get the season started!

Note: Do note read on if you have not seen the Season 8 finale of ABC's "The Bachelorette" with Emily Maynard.
I've been recapping "The Bachelorette" since 2003 and I can say with complete certainty that this has been my favorite season. Sure, I love certain characters from episodes of yore (be still my ever-loving Roberto, Ames and Reid heart) but for the first time in a long time, I actually ended the season with a feeling that I had been somewhat entertained each week instead of the usual, "Why does this show have to be two hours long when clearly 30 minutes could suffice?"
Perhaps I liked this year because of Emily's no nonsense attitude toward the traditional rules set forth by "Bachelor" nation. Maybe it was her Southern charm and integrity. It could have been her determination to actually take this reality show seriously for once by truly seeking out...

Who would have thought, lo so many summers ago (okay, three), that the reality TV reject recycling facility known as Bachelor Pad would still be in operation? Well it is, rose lovers — the new season premieres Monday, July 23 — and this is the moment America has I’ve been waiting for all summer: The Bachelor Pad 3 cast announcement! A few contestants are no-brainers, like Kalon (pictured), a.k.a. The Guy Who Called Emily’s Daughter “Baggage” on The Bachelorette. Some are a little snoozy (Erica Rose again?), but there are definitely a few names that will cause fans to feel the special mix of surprise,...

Get ready for some drama! The new cast of ABC's guilty pleasure Bachelor Pad 3 was announced Thursday morning - and some of the most infamous former contestants from the match-making series are among them. First off, last season's winner Michael Stagliano, who witnessed his former fiancée Holly Durst fall in love with Blake Julian during the summer 2011 production, will be back. (Durst and Julian tied the knot on June 2.) Stagliano is hoping to repeat his victory while competing against current Bachelorette villain Kalon McMahon, who Emily Maynard sent packing on Monday's show after he referred to her 6-year-old daughter Ricki as "baggage.

Dallas commercial pilot Jake Pavelka, who failed to capture Jillian Harris’ heart on The Bachelorette, was named the next Bachelor last month, to moderate fan praise.
The long-running reality show now has not just a new star, but a premiere date: Monday, January 4. No word yet on whether its recent two-hour episodes continue.
Oh, and it also has a ridiculously cheesy subtitle this season. Are you ready for it? Better keep the wastebasket handy ... The Bachelor: On the Wings of Love!
Groan.
Suffice it to say, people would have rather seen Reid or Kiptyn as The Bachelor, rather than Jake Pavelka, who finished like seventh on The Bachelorette last season.
Moreover, a lot of fans disliked how Jake returned to rat out Wes Hayden to Jillian, although conversely, some praised the pilot's "heroic" (and clearly staged) act.
Either way, we're sure the new season will be a big success, as it almost always is.

Texas airline pilot Jake Pavelka, who you may recall from The Bachelorette, will be the star of The Bachelor, ABC revealed last night on Dancing with the Stars.
Apparently Reid Rosenthal and Kiptyn Locke weren't available.
In any case, Jake knows how the show works, having wooed Jillian Harris semi-successfully on The Bachelorette, and cannot wait to hand out some roses.
“I’ve dated some really amazing girls, but I’ve never been successful at finding that one girl,” Jake said. “I saw how the whole thing came together with Jillian. I saw how the process works and I believe in it. That’s a unique way to meet somebody.”
Unique, yes. Successful? That's another story.
Jake Pavelka has some big shoes to fill.
While he was branded as Mr. Perfect on the show, Jillian ultimately eliminated Jake in favor of some shady characters. This brought back to the show...

The day we've all been dreading has arrived, Bachelor fans. The wise folks over at ABC's hit fauxmance factory have seen fit to choose Jake, the exceptionally bland pilot from Dallas who defended Jillian's honor from Wes' cheatin' heart last season on The Bachelorette, as the new Bachelor. I think my reaction to this news can best be summed up in one word: Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Look, it's not like previous Bachelors (with the possible exception of Bob) were bursting with personality, but Jake takes vapid to a new, almost creepy level. (See: falling into stalker-level love with Jillian after...

Us magazine is reporting that a woman, who is claiming to be one of next season's bachelorettes, has revealed the identity of the next "Bachelor" to be Jake Pavelka. But ABC will neither confirm nor deny the claim, saying: "We are not going to confirm who 'The Bachelor' is, or if this woman is even one of the bachelorettes. People need to tune into 'Dancing With the Stars' on October 13 to find out the real identity of the next 'Bachelor.'" Jake was a fan favorite and an early frontrunner on last season's "The Bachelorette" after his one-on-one date with Jillian Harris, during which they were serenaded in a private concert by Martina McBride. So even though he didn't make it into the final three, he was one of the names that executive producer Mike Fleiss told "The Insider" he was considering, along with Reid Rosenthal...

Unlike in the previous years, "The Bachelor" did not announce its next candidate immediately after the running season's finale. However, ABC is now ready to reveal the person in two weeks time during an episode of "Dancing with the Stars".
There have been some words on the street that Jake Pavelka who participated in the fifth season of "The Bachelorette" would be the guy. Us Magazine came up with the hint after 25-year-old Brittney Gammel told a local TV that she would join "The Bachelor" as one of the women vying for his love. The Learjet pilot coming from Tennessee also spilled that the 14th season will begin the shooting in November with a premiere in January.

Sorry to disappoint Jillian Harris and Ed Swiderski detractors but it looks like The Bachelorette couple has surpassed all the reality TV gossip and drama and are about to take a big step in their relationship. Finally, they're moving in!
I was one of those people who had high hopes for Harris and Swiderski on The Bachelorette but after hearing all those nasty rumors about Swiderski's infidelity and lies, I admit that it made me doubt Swiderski's intentions. I also realized that maybe Harris should have picked someone else from the show. Reid? Michael? Anyone else but the jerk who's been lying to her all this time.

The last two seasons of "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette" have been filled with drama. The most recent being Ed Swiderski, the man that Jillian Harris chose, and the man who proposed to her, who reportedly cheated on her. Now Et talks to host Chris Harrison, who spoke to Jillian, who was in Las Vegas with Ed last last week, to get his take on this latest scandal. Et: Did we have the wrong guy? Was it Ed who had the girlfriend, not Wes Hayden? Chris Harrison: I've talked to Jillian twice in the last two days. She is definitely upset. Everything has been turned upside down for them. They are stressed out with all the publicity, because they kind of thought they were done and could live their lives. Now they have had this jump up on them. It is tough, but they are still together; they are still engaged.

Reid Rosenthal may still have feelings for Jillian Harris but that doesn't mean that the 30-year-old Philadelphia realtor isn't eager to move on. After all, it's been two months since he came back on The Bachelorette finale to profess his love for Jillian only to find out that she's already in love with Ed Swiderski.
"I thought I was the best guy for her," Reid told People. "I knew I wanted to spend tomorrow with her. I wasn't 100 percent sure we'd get married in six months or a year if she'd said yes. [But] I thought our relationship was 15 times better than the other two guys...When I saw her [at the After the Final Rose special], feelings came back. But everything happens for a reason. That's the way I think in life and just knowing that makes everything easier."...

When "The Bachelorette"'s Jillian Harris sent Reid Rosenthal home from Hawaii, the 30-year-old realtor from Philadelphia, Pa decided not to take no for an answer. He hopped on a plane, returned to Hawaii and proposed. "I thought I was the best guy with her," Reid admits. "I knew I wanted to spend tomorrow. I wasn't 100 percent sure we were going to get married in six months or a year, but I knew she was someone I wanted to spend a lot of time with. I actually thought our relationship was 50 times better than the other guys. I thought it was my job to come back and get her." Reid goes on to say that he felt there was no competition. He thought that Jillian was putting him through a test. In fact, he says that if he had admitted his feelings for her earlier, she would have sent Kiptyn Locke home in third place,...
