Okay I hardly ever do posts about anything other than what Marc and I are up to, but I am kinda excited about this upcoming show...
The Bachelor Pad. I just found out today who the contestants are and I am not sure if I am more excited or less.....
Co-hosts: Melissa Rycroft & Chris Harrison. **I like Chris, Melissa is OK to me...**
Contestant #1: Tenley Molzahan. **I am STOKED about her being back on the show.**Appeared on: The Bachelor, starring Jake Pavelka
From: Huntington Beach, Calif.
Falling just short of the final rose, the college admissions administrator revealed her recent divorce to Jake and wondered if that was deciding factor.
Contestant #2: Wes Hayden. **BOO, I did not like him. Man Skank**Appeared on: The Bachelorette, starring Jillian Harris
From: Austin
Crooning ballads to Jillian seemed like a plus at first, but the country singer's endless self-promotion – and that he may have had a girlfriend – turned Wes into the show's biggest "villain" to date.
Contestant #3: Ashley Elmore. **Not sure what I think about her.**Appeared on: The Bachelor, starring Jake Pavelka
From: Fairfax, Va.
The teacher wore a very flirty flight attendant costume during the first cocktail party for pilot Jake.
Contestant #4: Craig McKinnon. **I was not a fan of him... at all. I am bummed they are bringing him back**Appeared on: The Bachelorette, starring Ali Fedotowsky
From: Toronto
Earning the nickname "Dangerous," Craig, who works in dental sales, found himself sparring constantly with Jonathan "Weatherman" Novack. He was ultimately questioned by Ali about his sincerity and ousted in just five days.
Contestant #5: Elizabeth Kitt. **She is cute, but a total game player**Appeared on: The Bachelor, starring Jake Pavelka
From: Los Angeles
Constantly teasing Jake with promises of physical contact, the salesperson finally told him to kiss her forehead – and was shown the door.
Contestant #6: Natalie Getz. **I don't know her....**Appeared on: The Bachelor, starring Jason Mesnick
From: Los Angeles
On a date when Jason was trying to see what else Natalie was interested in besides shoes and clothes, Natalie, a bartender, responded, "Bears."
Contestant #7: David Good. **Again, BOO.**Appeared on: The Bachelorette, starring Jillian Harris
From: Dayton, Ohio
Dating Jillian seemed to be the sideline for the entrepreneur, who was more obsessed with the behavior of the guys in the house, leading him to draw up a "man code."
Contestant #8: Gia Allemand. **I am happy Gia is back too. I liked her**Appeared on: The Bachelor, starring Jake Pavelka
From: New York
The swimsuit model's mom read her and Jake's tarot cards and predicted they would be together. But after opening up to Jake during her hometown visit, she was soon cut.
Contestant #9: Jesse Beck. **Very quiet, but seemed nice & sweet.**Appeared on: The Bachelorette, starring Ali Fedotowsky
From: Peculiar, Mo.
The general contractor's tattoos got more attention from the other guys, like Craig and Jonathan, than from Ali.
Contestant #10: Gwen Gioia. **Don't know her...**Appeared on: The Bachelor, starring Aaron Buerge
From: Los Angeles
Although this pharmaceutical sales rep lost out on Aaron's season, she teamed up with his ex-fiancée, Helene Eksterowicz, to write the book Nobody's Perfect: What to Do When You've Fallen For a Jerk But You Want to Make It Work.
Contestant #11: Jesse Kovacs. **I remember him, but don't at the same time**Appeared on: The Bachelorette, starring Jillian Harris
From: Los Angeles
The wine maker had glacier date with Jillian and impressed her with his wine expertise but got lost in all the coming-and-going drama of Reid Rosenthal and winner Ed Swiderski.
Contestant #12: Jessie Sulidis. **She is cute, but reminds me of a tiny mouse. =)**Appeared on: The Bachelor, starring Jake Pavelka
From: Oakville, Ont.
Her big moment came after the show taped, when the cosmetics salesperson confronted Rozlyn Papa during the Women Tell All special about her alleged romance with a show staffer.
Contestant #13: Jonathan Novack. **BOO BOO BOO, SOOOOO ANNOYING. I though he was gone for good, I am bummed he is back.** Appeared on: The Bachelorette, starring Ali Fedotowsky
From: Houston
The weatherman's intense rivalry with Craig may carry over from Ali's season and to Bachelor Pad.
Contestant #14: Krisily Kennedy. **I don't know her...**Appeared on: The Bachelor, starring Charlie O'Connell
From: Los Angeles
The salesperson took no prisoners – or friends, rather – on her way to coming in just behind winner Sarah Brice for Charlie's affections.
Contestant #15: Juan Barbieri. **Again, I remember him, but don't at the same time**Appeared on: The Bachelorette, starring Jillian Harris
From: Los Angeles
The construction manager inadvertently helped David Good with his "man code" by constantly violating it – like when he only pretended to take a shot of liquor when a group of guys were drinking together.
Contestant #16: Michelle Kujawa. **Drama Queen. BOO**Appeared on: The Bachelor, starring Jake Pavelka
From: Anaheim, Calif.
She wore her emotions on her sleeve, but when the office manager begged Jake for a kiss and got it, she admitted sparks did not fly.
Contestant #17: Kiptyn Locke. **YAY!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE that he is back & hope him and Tenley hit it off**Appeared on: The Bachelorette, starring Jillian Harris
From: San Diego
As Ed and Reid weaved their way in and out of Jillian's season, Kiptyn was the steady guy who tried to open up to her, but the sales and operations manager fell short in the end.
Contestant #18: Nikki Kaapke. **Don't know her...**Appeared on: The Bachelor, starring Jason Mesnick
From: Chicago
Although this administrative assistant got the first-impression rose from Jason, she later lost her sparkle on a two-on-one date and exited early.
Contestant #19: Peyton Wright. **Don't know her either...**Appeared on: The Bachelor, starring Andy Baldwin
From: Fort Worth, Texas
Peyton, who sells cheerleader uniforms, learned that a date on an aircraft carrier sounds much better before getting rejected on a two-on-one date and you're stuck on a boat as the third wheel.
Obviously they are looking for some major drama bringing back contestants like Wes, Michelle, Craig, David, Jonathan ect... However, I am
really excited to see
Tenley, Kiptyn, Gia, & Jesse. Is anyone else planning to watch this show? How do you feel about the contestants?
