Forget about gifts — all we want for Christmas is for The Bachelor to come back. But, drat, we’ll have to wait until January 2, 2012 to see Ben Flajnik‘s wine…we mean muscles…we mean rapier wit and unparalleled intellect!
Here’s a new interview with Ben, 28, about what the season holds:
Despite Ashley Hebert rejecting his proposal on last season’s The Bachelorette, Ben isn’t jaded on the prospect of finding love on reality TV. “I’m an opportunist and an optimist. I think you can find anyone in any way, shape, or form,” he prophesied. “Doesn’t matter if it’s on a TV show, on an airplane, or in a restaurant.”
But what if it’s on a TV show shot in a restaurant that’s on an airplane?! Bachelor producers, consider my challenge issued. Ben goes on to say that his rumored hookup with Jennifer Love-Hewitt was largely overblown: “A nice girl, but I was right in the middle of deciding to be on The Bachelor.” Fair enough.
Oh, but then we unearthed this video featuring the drunken sailors contestants in their knockoff Hervé Léger minidresses and platform heels. Brace yourself, America.
We can picture the ABC producers now: “Hey, Ben! Congratulations on becoming the new Bachelor. Here are some foul-mouthed prostitutes to spend day in and day out with for the foreseeable future! Find-a-wife time starrrts…now!”
If we were Ben, we’d be heaving a big, heavy Krusty the Clown sigh and knocking back a few bottles of our very own vino before the games begin.
