Hey guys I was going to put this in the bachlorette thread I was afraid people would miss it


The Bachelorette’s Jake: Wes & Laurel Are Still Together
July 2, 2009

Dallas pilot Jake Pavelka, 31, didn’t make a love connection with The Bachelorette’s Jillian Harris, but cared enough to crash Wes’s hometown date to confess what he knew about “Girlfriendgate.” He spoke with reporters about why he believes Wes had — and still has! — a girlfriend, who he thinks is right for Jillian and the possibility of starring on the next Bachelor. – Carrie Bell

Why did you come back?
A producer called me to see if I was doing okay because I took leaving hard and I broke down. [I said,] “I need to tell her some things. Any way I could talk to her again?” I ran through it and they made it happen. I was lying in bed every morning going, “I screwed up. I should have told her before I left.” I wanted to come back because I had information she needed to make the best decisions about the remaining guys and to be there for her. Now I sleep easy at night.

PEOPLE spoke to Laurel and she denied being together during taping. Do you stand by what you claimed, that Wes said he had a girlfriend?
I don’t believe it. I know it. Without a shadow of a doubt, he and Laurel were together. They’re still together. It’s an act and Laurel was in cahoots with him. They had an agreement to put their relationship on the back-burner so he could go on and sell CDs. His biggest fear was making it far enough to go on overnight dates because that wasn’t okay with Laurel. Evidently she cleared [him] to kiss. I’m a God-fearing man and if I am mistaken or he didn’t tell me that, God can strike me down with lightning right now.

Are you there?
Yeah. Still here! We had multiple conversations. He confided with me. He told me he loved [Laurel]. He said, “I’m going to break her heart. I’m going to bow out when the time is right.” This stuff came out of his mouth.

Do you think it’s possible that he is developing feelings for her as the weeks go on?
No. I think Wes’s motivation is to move CDs. Wes had her snowed. The girl loves country music and the man makes it so I can see how intriguing that would be.

Did you get along with Wes?
I don’t think he’s a bad guy. I don’t hate him. I’m hopeful at some point we can be friends. He’s probably having a hard time right now, but it’s hard to be sympathetic because he lied to my face and Jillian’s.

Have you regretted your decision to go Austin?
Absolutely not. I care about the girl. She’s looking to fall in love. With Wes, it was going to be an uphill battle. He won’t put a ring on her finger. I know that Jillian would have done that for me had the roles been reversed. I would have done [it for] Wes.

Dave thought snitches violated “Man Code.” Are you a violator?
I don’t believe in guy code. That’s just a fancy way of saying, “Lie for me, bro!” That ‘bros before hos’ crap … BS! I made a point to let people know that if I found out, I would tell her.

Thoughts on Ed’s return?
Thank God something good happened after I devastated her and she had such a bad week. I could tell she was glowing inside because Ed came back. They clicked. Ed’s a super nice guy, an open book.

Do you think you were you the one for her?
I don’t think I was her type. I do believe I could have made her happy.

Who is the right guy for her?
Kiptyn is a solid guy. He doesn’t tell her things just to stay. [They’d] make a pretty cute couple.

There’s a petition out there to make you the next Bachelor. Would you consider it?
After seeing how the show works and how much love the producers have in their work, I would consider. It’s a terrific way to find somebody.

If you do, what are you looking for in a woman?
I’ve dated a type of girl my whole life that has kept me single. The girl that won’t call back or plays lot of games. They’re fun and keep you on your toes, but not the type you end up marrying. I would go after girls that I don’t consider my type.
 
Go Jake! :cheer2:

Jake for next bachelor! If only I were 15 years older...heh heh heh.
 
If anyone wants to sign the Jake for the Bachelor petition there is one at the ABC message boards
 
:cheer2:Jake, Jake, Jake:cheer2:

I still think Jake and Stephanie from last season's Bachelor would make a *great* couple!
 

All together now....

Jake... Jake!!!! JAKE!!!!!

This I would watch.

But, alas, I know that I would be disappointed if he did The Bachelor, and it came out that everything that we are seeing and hearing from his is another front, like so many other guys.

I think I'll be watching if he is the next one!
 
LOVE Stephanie!!!!
She is the epitome of the classy/classic southern woman/belle.

However, I really don't know who would be right for her.

I think that she needs to evolve just a little bit and find herself as a person, other and SERVING her daughter and her 'man'.

I really feel that we never saw the real Stephanie, and that maybe even Stephanie doesn't know the real Stephanie. I don't mean this in a bad way, AT ALL, love her like everyone else... but I saw such a 'shell', and what one poster back then described as like a Stepford Wife.
 
I would be interested in watching how Jake reacts to other women. He came across too serious in this installment. Actually, I think Stephanie would be a good match for him. They both seem mature enough for each other.
 
I LOVED Jake on the show... he was the one I was hoping Jillian would pick. I LOVED Stephanie and she was the one that I had hoped Jason would pick. I think the two of them would be awsome together. Wasn't Stehanie's (deceased) husband a pilot or he passed in a plane crash- or both?? I remembered something about planes? Maybe that would be too hard for her or maybe it is exactly what she needs. I wonder if the two of them have watched each other on the show and what thier thoughts may have been.
 
I think Jake's just too decent to find a girl if he was cast as the Bachelor. Every time I've ever watched the Bachelor, my immediate thought has always been "twenty nutjobs and a guy, wow."

And they always fall into the same categories, the clingon, the gold digger, the manic, the depressive, the idiot, the ice queen, the party girl, the girl next door. It never works because in real life men DON'T do the picking. ;)

I do love the Bachelorette, though, I've been posting with the Canadians the whole season, they're a hysterical bunch:

I'll cross post this thread over to them so they can sign the Jake for Bachelor petition too...
