Multiple sources predict Jake Pavelka to be the next ‘Bachelor’
According to Music City TV, Bachelor fans will soon see a lot more of Texan pilot Jake Pavelka.
According to the site, one of The Bachelor’s female contestants is confirming Jake will be the next star, with filming to begin on October 12 in Los Angeles.
Whether or not this is true, the potential “leak” of information could be detrimental to the female contestant, whose full name and occupation was released by Music City TV.
However, the question will be settled soon enough. Bachelor host Chris Harrison announced that the show’s new star will be named October 13 on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars.
The choice to crown Jake Pavelka the next bachelor over Reid Rosenthal or Kiptyn Locke (or a potential “new guy”) was echoed by a “hunch” Reality Steve blogged about this week. Steve partially based his prediction on host Chris Harrison’s recent trip to Dallas, reported on Harrison’s Twitter.
Jake Pavelka is best known for returning to season 5 of The Bachelorette after Jillian Harris eliminated him. The pilot, portrayed as a southern gentleman, came back to confront Wes Hayden for having a girlfriend back home, a claim which Hayden denied. Returning to “protect Jillian,” Jake was edited in a positive light on the show.
A post-season interview with Wes Hayden, who was given perhaps the most negative edit in the show’s history, raised suspicions that Jake was actually interested in more face time on ABC, one of the main reasons for his return.
