Newest 'Bachelor' Is an Import
Brit Matt Grant will woo American women on ABC
Zap2It.com
February 5 2008
After 11 attempts at matching up American men and women, "The
Bachelor" has gone overseas for its newest star.
Londoner Matt Grant will handle the rose-giving duties on the 12th
installment of the ABC show, which premieres Monday, March 17. Viewers
got their first look at the 27-year-old on Monday's "Dance War."
Grant works as a business development manager in London. He's the
youngest of five brothers and the only one of his siblings who remains
single. He says he's interested in having kids in the reasonably near
future and is looking for a woman who is "adventurous, playful and
fun."
And for what it's worth, ABC assures us that Grant is a "totally
charming and witty English gentleman."
In an interview with OK! magazine, Grant admits that he'd never seen
"The Bachelor" before being cast (the show airs only on satellite TV
in the U.K.). He is perhaps then unaware of the show's
less-than-stellar relationship record. The previous season ended with
Bachelor Brad Womack picking neither of the two final women.
ABC is giving one of those two women, DeAnna Pappas, another chance.
She'll be the fourth "Bachelorette" come summer.

Is this a first in The Bachelor history, Ed? I was under the
impression that former bachelor Lorenzo Borghese was born in Italy?
Maybe it's just one of his parents that were, however? I seem to
recall something about his father being born over there maybe? Were
Lorenzo and his older brother Chip Borghese, who helps run the Perlier
beauty company with their mother both born over here? Anyone recall
what was said about that during that season?
Thanks.
As for Deanna becoming the fourth Bachelorette, now *THAT* I have got
to see. She's one of the fiestiest and easy to upset chicks I've ever
seen in all Bachleor or Bachelorette history. Her and that one short
haired brunette model chick Trish, who was a complete sore loser
nutball and whom they swear up and down they will never allow to be
the Bachelorette even though she's suggested it. Deanna's tough and
seems very streetwise. If any of those guys ***** her off, it's going
to get really nasty.

They "ALL" say that, but once they have 25 fairly attractive women
throwing themselves at them, they soon turn into poon hounds.

Well come on, wouldn't you? Honestly, if you knew you were NEVER AGAIN
going to have the chance to at least kiss that many absolute hotties,
some of which were five years younger than you and made you feel all
young and super carefree again, I'm sure even if you wouldn't sleep
with all of them, (I sure would not, but that's just me...) you'd at
least kiss them or ask them into the hot tub with you. Every bachelor/
ette from every season always says "Well I had to kiss a lot of frogs
to find my prince/princess". It's like their perfect ticket to
MakeOutVille and it lets them off Scot Free; like they were
emotionally finding their way and just simply *HAD* to make out with
all of those ten or more people...
To call them poon hounds is sort of harsh, really, because the whole
premise of the show is to get to know all of these contestants as BEST
you CAN in such a short amount of time. They have to worry about
hurting people's feelings, what their friends will say when they get
home, not looking like a prude or a homosexual, etc., etc. Of course
they're going to get at least a little busy with at least four to six
of them and relatively speaking, if you consider how many contestants
are on the season opener, four to six isn't that bad.
Also, I'd imagine that *SOME* of the contestants are disappointed that
you're not their type and make you feel so crappy about yourself that
you just go out and paint the town red and shower some other
contestant with a million flowers and kisses just to tick them off. I
know a girl (we were best buds in high school...I have not spoken to
her in years...she's now a local wedding planner.) who was on the show
from the season with the Bachelor named Alex. She said *in a local
newspaper even* that once she saw and met him there WAS NOTHING anyone
could do to get her to stay on the show a single day longer; that she
was just *sooooo* NOT drawn to him. Having known her, it's nothing
personal, but YEAH, Alex surely was NOT her type, but she didn't have
to act all squeamish about it on television, really. THAT was immature
of her.
That must have pissed him off if indeed she acted that way
*personally* face to face toward him and he probably had an attitude
later like "Well Hmmph! I'll show you!" and went out and snagged a
bunch of kisses off five other girls instead.
In other words, just like my old school pal said in her newspaper
article later, there are a LOT more dynamics that go into why a person
*might* or might not look like a ***** on that show that just simply
"Gettin' Some". Personality quirks, especially. Backstabbing and the
like.
