Bachelor Party! What Jake Pavelka, Bob Guiney and Andrew Firestone Are Up To
Originally posted 05/02/2013 01:35PM
Adjusting to life after being the Bachelor can be a challenge. Just ask the men themselves.
"I tell all the girls I meet: Just know, I won't be airlifting you to the top of a glacier on our first date," says former franchise star Bob Guiney, 42. Joined by Andrew Firestone, 37, and Jake Pavelka, 35, at a March photo shoot for PEOPLE's special issue celebrating 25 seasons of The Bachelor, three of the show's biggest stars hammed it up – and shared the inside dish on the roses, romances and, yes, hot tubs, that made their seasons so very special.

Bachelor Poll: Vote for Your Favorite Guy from 17 Seasons

They were always there "for all the right reasons." And even now, after 25 combined seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, fans still haven't gotten tired of the drama, cat fights, and hot tub hijinks that make for an amazing season.
Who should win as the best Bachelor of all: Jake Pavelka, who chose bad-girl Vienna only to break up with her in a vicious televised special? Sean Lowe, who vowed to hold off on sex with his pick, Catherine Giudici, until their summer 2013 wedding night? Or Jason Mesnick, who popped the question to Melissa Rycroft, then pulled a switcheroo at the reunion? (He just had a baby with his final choice, Molly Malaney.) And remember Season 2 star Aaron Buerge? He ranks as the highest rated Bachelor of all time, with 26 millions viewers tuning in as he popped the question to Helene Eksterowicz in 2002.

Happy anniversary!

Bachelor Pad: Tenley and Kiptyn Predict More Trouble for Vienna and Kasey
Originally posted 08/23/2011 08:30AM
As the game dwindles down to the bare essentials, so does the swimwear. Synchronized swimming? Brilliant!
Last year during Bachelor Pad we all kept talking about how great it would be to use this pool for one of the challenges. From swim relays to biggest-splash contests to underwater-lap contests, we did it all. However, the long awaited official Bachelor Pad pool challenge never came to season 1. Which was a bummer too because I (Kiptyn) had my Speedo ready for action.
Thankfully, a highly entertaining pool challenge came splashing down this season here on episode 3. And now the Bachelor mansion has officially seen it all and can put that ever-elusive final check-mark in the historically blank column labeled, "seven grown men chant 'flutter, flutter, flutter, flutter.' "
While the pool challenge was mostly laughs and smiles, the rest of this week's episode was filled with tears and trouble. Trouble these days seems to find couples specifically. Watching Kasey and Vienna fight again this week was brutal. They've both said that the root of their conflict stems from Jake being in the house. Now that Jake has gone home, can we expect to have seen the last of the Kasey and Vienna clashing? We really hope so for their sake and their housemates' sake, but we fear that this relationship is a frequent flyer in the danger zone and the pilot isn't to blame (if you catch our drift).

Bachelor Pad's Vienna Girardi and Kasey Kahl Wish Jake Pavelka Happiness

Is the Jake Pavelka-Vienna Girardi-Kasey Kahl triangle on ABC's Bachelor Pad as tumultuous as it appears?
Well, the three won't be sharing tea anytime soon, but the show's power couple said they actually don't harbor any ill will toward the former Bachelor star.
"Let me publicly say that we honestly have no problems with Jake," Kahl told PEOPLE Saturday at Las Vegas's Studio 54. "We wish Jake the best. Seriously, we're happy. We came to play the game and we did. I wish him the best and she wishes him the best. We're so happy and we really want him to be happy, too."
Girardi, Pavelka's former fiancée, said, "It's forgiven, it's forgotten. Good luck to him in whatever endeavors he wishes to do."
Bachelor Pad: Jake Pavelka Faces Elimination

It's no surprise that tensions are already flaring up on the second season of Bachelor Pad.
Monday's episode finds underdog Jake Pavelka begging for a lifeline from his ex-fiancee Vienna Girardi and her new boyfriend Kasey Kahl to stave off elimination.
"There's about a 90 percent chance that I'm going home tonight," Pavelka admits. "I am in trouble. … You guys are basically the only ones that can save me."
"Can you have our help? Are you stupid?" Kahl retorts.

Natalie Getz Calls New Season of Bachelor Pad 'Super Dramatic'
Originally posted 07/22/2011 10:10AM
New season of Bachelor Pad, new drama.
According to last season's winner, Natalie Getz, when contestants from The Bachelor and The Bachelorette compete against each other for $250,000, tensions are bound to flare.
"I think it's going to be a complete s– show to be honest with you and I can't wait," Getz told PEOPLE. "It's going to be super dramatic."
One source of tension will undoubtedly be the reunion of exes Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi, who share the house with Girardi's current love interest Kasey Kahl (best known for getting a tattoo on Ali Fedotowsky's season). While Getz says that the love triangle did result in fighting, the contestants were able to move past it.
