I love this guy's blog, especially his section on The Bachelor. Read this for a chuckle:


The Bachelor

So ever since Jake sat in the audience of "DWTS" Tuesday night and they basically mocked him to his face, he's made the rounds with the magazines giving his thoughts on the whole thing. I've cut and pasted quotes he gave to "US Weekly" and "People" below, then given you the real translation of what he was saying, in case you couldn't figure it out for yourself.

US Weekly: (Link: "Jake Won't Deal with Contestants Having Beaus Back Home")

"It's such a unique opportunity. I still cannot believe this is happening. How did I get here?" Translation: After hours and hours of praying on my knees and begging the producers to make me the "Bachelor", and after Reid and Kiptyn wanted no part of the show anymore and turned it down, they finally succumbed and gave it to me. I'm so excited I celebrated with a glass of milk.

On coming on too strong with Jillian: "I was like, 'Oh! Tone it down a bit!' That's what I took away from 'The Bachelorette'. I was just so excited. I wanted her to like me because she's so gorgeous and such a great person. And I tried just a little too hard." Translation: You think? You mean falling in love with someone after one date is considered "trying too hard". No way! If you were that ga-ga over Jillian after one stupid country western date, I can only imagine how many women you'll want to propose to after the meet-and-greets. Maybe this will turn into a season of "Big Love" where Jake just says, "You know what? F- it. I want to marry four of these women." Then they all run off to Utah and live happily ever after there.

On going to past Bachelors for tips: "I've seen a lot of other seasons, but I'm not planning on that. I want to go in fresh. I know that they are making a show that ultimately doesn't have anything to do with my goals. I want to meet these girls, and I want to fall in love and let them down as gently as possible at the end." Translation: Jake's seen a lot of other seasons? Gee, never would've thought that. And yeah, probably not a good idea to get tips from previous Bachelors considering NONE of them are married. Exactly what type of keen insight is Lorenzo Borghese going to give you? Want some advice on how to take a punch from Byron Velvick? How about going to Jason Mesnick and asking him about the art of flip-flopping? The only one I'd talk to would be Jesse Palmer. The legend has it that he's the one former Bachelor who's laid pipe to the most former contestants. However, God might strike you down if you do that.

On what he's looking for: "The four most important things to me are similar qualities - someone who is romantic, passionate, compassionate and protective…and will laugh at my jokes!" Translation: That's what you call them? Jokes? Could've fooled me. I thought of them as the worst attempts at humor this side of Carlos Mencia.

"People" Magazine: (Link: "And the new Bachelor is…Jake!")

"I've dated some really amazing girls, but I've never been successful at finding that one girl. And I saw how the whole thing comes together, the process with Jillian. I saw how the process works and I believe in it. That's a unique way to meet somebody." Translation: Yes, don't we all believe in this process? You know, the one that has produced one wedding in 18 seasons? Why shouldn't we? Those are unbelievable odds in your favor. Jake must not be much of a gambler.

"I fly on the weekends, play golf, go to a movie, but I'm not a couch potato. That's the one thing I have to make these girls understand, I have a lot of energy. I love salsa dancing. Country dancing on a Thursday night in Dallas is really fun, too. I enjoy working with my hands, creating or building something, landscaping and doing garden work. Even if [a woman] didn't enjoy doing the things that I do, I would want her to be a part of them because I love them so much." Translation: Ladies, the line forms to the left if you want to go landscaping with Jake Pavelka. Yeah, I know a ton of chicks that just love getting down and dirty with garden work and landscaping. Total panty dropper. Usually those chicks have mullets and wear Timberland boots. And are huge WNBA fans. Good luck to you, Jake. Really. Knock em' dead.

Like I've stated, can't wait for this season to start. I believe the meet and greet was last night and some of our ladies have already been sent home. I wonder if Jake wrote each of them a handwritten note explaining why he had to let them go. Even though we all know the first night is based purely on looks. Ha ha. For as much as ABC hates me, they sure don't do themselves any favors by casting a guy who lives in Dallas. Do they not think I'm gonna find stuff out? Idiots. Anyway, any good friends of Jakes want to hit me up with some stories, feel free to contact me at steve@realitysteve.com.
