Bachelorette Emily Maynard’s contestant, Kalon McMahon, is a good friend of Bachelor Pad star Erica Rose. The two have a lot more in common than a simple bond of friendship. They both live in Houston, Texas and are set to stir controversy wherever they go.

Erica has been harshly criticized by her antics, even by her good friend Kalon. She confessed, “He once told me he didn’t like how I represented Houston on the show. So hopefully he can do a better job than I did!”

Bachelorette Emily Maynard’s Villain: Kalon McMahon Arrives In Helicopter

Kalon is the guy who made quite an impression on Emily and the other contestants, albeit not exactly a good one, when he arrived in a helicopter. The obnoxious model/brand consultant will also soon piss off the Bachelorette by putting his big foot in his mouth.

So Kalon criticizing Erica for her antics seems like a good case of the pot calling the kettle black. Despite Kalon’s irascible behavior, Erica believes Emily might fall in love with him. “I think that there is a possibility of a romance developing between them — they both like the finer things in life,” she said.

“Bachelorette”/“Bachelor Pad” contestant, Kasey Kahl, who was rejected by Ali Fedotowsky on the show, was arrested for being intoxicated and disorderly conduct at the Club Habanos in Fresno, Califonia on Sunday morning (January 15).

Kasey was involved in some sort of incident at the nightclub, but it’s still unclear exactly what he was accused of. Vienna Girardi’s on-and-off boyfriend was booked at a nearby police station and released just a few hours later, after posing for the infamous mug shot picture.

The reality star looks pretty damn good for someone who was supposed to be wasted. Kasey and Vienna recently finished their stint in VH1’s upcoming reality show, “Relationship Rehab.”

“Bachelor Pad 2” couple, Vienna Girardi and Kasey Kahl have officially confirmed they have broken up, but he is still hoping they can rekindle their romance after spending some time apart. Kasey admitted it took them weeks to announce the split because they wanted some privacy and time to figure things out.

Why? Why? These two actually looked like they were in love. Apparently, Vienna needed to get away from the spotlight and return home to spend some time with her family during the holidays. And Kasey decided to do the same thing.

“I still love Vienna. I mean, it’s hard,” he told Us Weekly. “She had to go back home and get out of the spotlight for a little bit. Who knows what the future holds?”

“I went back home for a little bit to focus on myself and focus on my friends and family and just enjoy being Kasey,” the 27-year-old told Us. “I’m just a hopeless romantic cheese ball who wants to be happy.”

Meanwhile, Kasey and Vienna will continue to be good friends. Bachelor Jake Pavelka’s winner recently tweeted, “@KaseyRKahl will always be my best friend, but yes we have split. No idea what the future holds for us but we will always remain friends.”

Former Bachelor winner Vienna Girardi gave herself the ultimate gift: a new nose! The 25-year-old, who will be starring on the next season of Bachelor Pad, confirmed she had plastic surgery via Twitter…DUH!

“I want my surgery to be looked at as positive reflection of how I feel. If it makes you feel better about yourself then DO IT. xoxo.”

She continued:

“Couldn’t wear makeup during my ET interview bc of surgery… Dnt judge me lol,”

The reality star will be back home on television beginning August 8th, where I’m sure she’ll stir up plenty of trouble. Did I mention she’ll be on the show with her ex, former Bachelor Jake Pavelka, and her current boyfriend, Kasey Kahl? Yummy!

Since poor Ames has departed from the Bachelorette with a broken heart, it seems that he was quickly escorted over to the Pad.  Perhaps ‘Poor Ames’ will find the love he is looking for and “someone to have adventures with!”

He is the final contestant for the show, which means NO BENTLEY! This is fantastic news. Fans can look forward to a ridiculous three hour season premiere on Monday, August 8th.

"Poor Ames" Joins the Bachelor Pad

Rumor has it that Bentley has been invited to the Bachelorette, Men Tell All episode next week.  Do you think he will show?  If he does, he is fantastically fame starved, if you ask us.  In his situation, he is best off with cameras off of his scheme-y, desperate face.

Bachelorette Bentley Invited to the Show Next Week?

#PoorAmes Trends on Twitter

Ames is a sweet guy- liked enough to have Twitter a Trend with #PoorAmes.  We can only imagine how much more popular he will be now that he has had his heart broken on national television.  He should watch out for the gold diggers though.

UPDATE:  24 hours later, Poor Ames still has a Twitter home as DVR fans catch up.  Here are a few responses:

As this week’s episode started, I found myself hopeful that I would be more interested and engaged in this show than the last week.  The passing of the angst that was Bentley has made it more difficult to know one of the guys from the other (Ben? Constantine?  Are they the same guy?).  Last week’s drama was again sidelined by blondie who wants to go back to her “real life” (and not be the next Bachelorette?).  As much as I liked her during the Bachelor, I found her a bit disingenuous during the interview.

I just hope that Ashley finds love in this “journey” since if rumors are true, she didn’t make enough from the network to make it worth her time.

The most underpaid Bachelorette "Ever"

Constantine:

I’m a little wearied by the “run across the grassy park to each other” scene.  Is there another way to do this?  I’m sure each town has more to offer than this?  Loved the Greek Family dancing party though.

Ames:

In this case, we run across the cool grassy property of Ames’ uppercrust family.  Will Ames loosen up? If the plaid shirt tells us anything, the answer should be yes! I liked the grilling sister Serena gave Ashley by the family indoor pool.  Ashley held her own!  I can’t decide if Ames seems a bit flamboyant (he’s expressive, kind and emotional), or just extremely Ivy League, but kind.  What Ashley takes from this hometown meeting, “Maybe love is more of a marathon”.  Ames: ” I can’t think of anything more romantic than a picnic under a Magnolia tree” and “I was a bad boy in boarding school”.  ”Magic in the ordinary”- now THAT I liked.  Not bad.  It’s hard to dislike this guy, even though you really, really want to.

Ben: We run across the grass to the gazebo. We jump into his “sexy, fashionable” arms.  If a girl likes wine, it may be difficult to ignore this bonus of husband who is also a winemaker.  Let’s just hope the wine is decent.  Bad wine- now that would be awkward.  His hair? That’s what she noticed first?  Like Constantine’s?  That’s okay I like longish hair too.  There is some sadness there.

JP:

No grass!  Ran across the bridge in a garden surrounded by tulips. Skating rink.  It seems that Ashley could care less what they are doing since she wants to just be anywhere that he is.  As far as we can see, she is far more physical, affectionate and comfortable with him than anyone else (. “I can’t fight this feeling any longer…”  ”I’ve only taken home 4 girls home to meet my family” (not so sure of the ‘special’ feeling being #5- but hey, he’s honest).

Bachelor Pad Contestants May Change Kids Lives in a Bad Way

Thinking of only a few of the upcoming Bachelor Pad 2 Contestants, I began wondering at the impact of “real people” and their bad behavior on their future family lives.  When you have a bunch of people vying for money and love for all the world to see, it gets ugly.  Some may live to regret their participation.  Much the way some will lose their jobs (or possibilities of a job) once an employer sees an ill-advised drunken photo posted on Facebook.  Those instant gratification app buttons can come back to haunt you.

Jake Pavelka

I am disappointed that the network is inviting Jake back to the show. He was in that strange, robotic, grinny way even more disturbing than Bentley on Ashley’s Bachelorette season.  I felt sorry for Vienna when we all saw the relationship meltdown post engagement in a public venue, but she is back for more.  These contestants will forgive anything if they get a chance to be on TV again!  When really, they should be sent back to obscurity.

Bentley What’s His Name- The One With a Little Girl

For Bachelor Pad 2, they are making it nearly impossible to avoid drama of the ugliest sort by putting three sets of exes in the house.  I won’t be surprised if Bentley ends up being the “mystery man” for the pad…and I sadly understand this- ratings, ratings, ratings.  We like to watch these types of characters on nighttime drama (and some of you like those types on soaps).  But we also forget that this is a “real” person who is doing lowly, hurtful things (he has a young daughter) for all the world to witness.

All aboard, the Tacky Behavior Train is Leaving the Station

This Icky crowd uses their discount train tickets to infamy.  The question I have been asking myself for a while is: what happens to these people later on?  Their kids can watch their parents acting in a way that they would never want to see their own child act (or be treated).  This isn’t the same thing as seeing your actor-parent’s awkward early career Jello-Pudding-Pop Commercial.  They will see their parent acting like a bad human in order to gain something cheap.  And if hurting others purposefully is normalized for these kids, what kind of future behavior rationalizations will they be making?

Bachelor Pad 2 Personality Disorders

This past season of the Bachelorette with Ashley Herbert has been at times, trainwreck-watchable. In any season, it is hard enough to keep up with all of the spouse-options. We can’t imagine what it would be like for her to keep them straight with such drama and deception going on as it has this season.  It’s pushing it already to force a 6 week courtship as the show stands. After all of the gut turning Bentley drama finally ceased, the show dulled our senses on the of heels of over-the top sobbing and whatnot.  That’s not really fair to anyone.

We’ve all forgotten to be happily rooting for budding love, and instead find ourselves identifying with the angsty-ness of a bad breakup and rumination over the ‘dot dot dot’.  Admit it, you only wanted to throw your snacks at the TV because you too have felt similarly duped at some point or another while you waited for that text that never came.

The Bachelor Execs should focus on creating the nastier flavored drama in the Pad, rather than Bentley-type stunts on the main shows.  I’d like to see the original shows stay true to its aim- to help their bachelor/ette find love in a possible spouse!  The escapism is what the girls are signing up for season after season.

Former Bachelorette/Bachelor Pad contestant, Jesse Beck, is engaged to his girlfriend, a beautiful girl named Bianca, who he reportedly met at a bar during one of the Bachelor/Bachelorette’s reunions.

Jesse tweeted the picture above with the caption, “How’d I get so lucky? My FIANCE and I.” Yeah, how? The couple also looked great as Avatar characters (more pictures below).

Later, Jesse confessed, “Who knew planning a wedding is so much work! Apparently paper is not just paper and it has to be the RIGHT paper for the invitations.”

Bianca and Jesse have not officially revealed their wedding date, but the lovebirds should be getting married this summer. Congratulations to the happy and gorgeous couple!

“The Bachelorette” contestant Chris Lambton, who was dumped by Ali Fedotowsky for her fiancé Roberto Martinez, has found love and is currently dating “The Bachelor Pad” contestant Peyton Wright.

Peyton and Chris met at one of the Bachelor/Bachelorette reunions and hit it off. The two have been keeping a long distance relationship since August of 2010. “We met at a Bachelor function,” Peyton says. “It’s long distance so we’re on the phone and iChatting a lot.”

Of the day they first met, Peyton says, “It’s one of those things where I’ve had a ton of serious relationships and I met this kid and he was genuine, outgoing and hilarious and we just click.”

Chris actually refused to become the next Bachelor after he realized that wasn’t the right way to find true love. “That’s just not me,” Chris said. “Sitting at home and watching the season with my family weirded me out. I wanted to find love on my own and not in that type of situation, so I said, ‘You know what? I’m not going to do it.’”

The Bachelor 2011 Brad Womack FULL Season SPOILERS

When asked about what she thinks of the new/old Bachelor, Brad Womack, Peyton commented: “It’s dramatic. But I hope it works out for Brad. I’m rooting for him.”

Congratulations to Chris and Peyton!
