Gia Allemand, the 29-year-old beauty who finished third on Jake Pavelka's "Bachelor" season and went on to compete on "Bachelor Pad" Seasons 1 and 2, was pronounced dead Wednesday (Aug. 14) after an apparent suicide in New Orleans.
We had the pleasure of meeting Gia at the "Bachelor Pad" Season 1 finale and she was warm and sweet, which is a sentiment echoed by the members of "Bachelor" nation, who are in shock over her death.
The "Bachelor" nation members have also been sending their thoughts and prayers to Gia's family and friends:
"It's with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to our good friend Gia Allemand. She will be loved and missed by all who knew her." -- Chris Harrison
"We lost an incredible human being today. @giaallemand." -- Ali Fedotowsky
"I am in complete shock and devastated to hear the news about Gia. She was one of the sweetest people I have ever known.

"The Bachelorette" star Emily Maynard and fiance Jef Holm were seen together in public for the first time yesterday, holding hands and smiling in New York City, but Emily's friends warn this relationship will never last, as Maynard is not the person we all saw on TV.
“I hate to say that because I'm friends with Emily, but to put a kid on there really takes away from the dynamic of the show and the drama," past contestant David Good told me. "She wants to be so good and proper for her kid, which is great, but it takes away a lot from the show."
“It sucks saying that, because I’m friends with Emily. We have done a couple of charity events together, we have hung out and talked on the phone -- we just became friends through this whole 'Bachelor' franchise thing," he added. "I have not...

Now that Emily Maynard has found love (at least for now) with entrepreneur Jef Holm on "The Bachelorette," ABC is searching for its next cast. Knowing that the right personalities are the secret to TV ratings gold, producers are on a mission to find the perfect Bachelorette and, of course, gentlemen to compete for her affection. And although the producers mixed things up a little bit this season, choosing a single mom to be the Bachelorette, one past contestant tells me the one thing you will never see in the franchise is people who are overweight.
"No, I don't see that ever happening," David Good tells me, when asked about the possibility of a plus-size cast. "I will be honest: The whole point of the show was to have the most eligible Bachelorette and Bachelor: beautiful, smart, educated, funny, all-around great. That was the purpose of the show. If you...

Jesse Csincsak sits down with former ‘Bachelor’ and ‘Bachelorette’ contestants to talk about the drama surrounding the possibility of Emily Maynard becoming the next ‘Bachelorette.’ Find out what they have to say!
On Jesse Csincsak and RTVZone.com‘s The Bachelorette Beatdown, past contestants from our favorite reality series each had something to say about Emily Maynard‘s most recent drama — the decision to become the next Bachelorette now that she’s done with Bachelor Brad Womack. And everyone agrees: Emily’s circumstances make it impossible for her to dedicate herself to the star role!
Jesse opened up the chat with a recap of what happened on the latest episode. He describes Emily as “the most emotional girl on Planet Earth.” He reminds everyone of how she sat crying and not saying a word for 15 minutes during her special where she discussed her breakup with Brad with host Chris Harrison.

Last summer, the alphabet network debuted an extension of their popular Monday night reality series franchise. On Bachelor Pad, former contestants of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette are brought together under one roof to compete for a lot of money and potentially a second chance at love. Like shows like Survivor and Big Brother, alliances play a big role in how long someone can stay in the game. Natalie Getz and David Good split the $250,000 grand prize in season one, beating out 17 other contestants.
Season one of Bachelor Pad wasn't a big ratings success but it did well for a summer series. The show attracted an average of a 2.0 in the 18-49 demographic and 5.88 million viewers. That's better than current freshman dramas like Off the Map and Detroit 1-8-7.

"Bachelor Pad" winner David Good's book "The Man Code: A Woman's Guide to Cracking the Tough Guy" became available this winter. Zap2it caught up with Good to talk about the book, which was an idea that formed long before the Juan incident on "The Bachelorette."
"They kind of made a mockery of the Man Code on 'The Bachelorette,'" Good tells us. "They made it like this whole college-bros thing, like if you don't drink your beer fast enough or something. That's not what it is."
So in order to set the record straight, Good finally put into words all the life lessons he'd picked up from his father and from his own experiences and published the book, which he actually started writing in college but only just now completed.
"There's a funny part of the Man Code," says Good, referring to the college-bros type thing shown on TV.

"Bachelor Pad" winner David Good recently spoke with Zap2it about his new book "The Man Code" (look for an interview piece with excerpts later in the week). But of course, the subject of this season of "The Bachelor" came up and David had some great observations to share, including that Michelle is the season's bright spot for entertainment.
"I thought it started out really good. I think Brad's in it for the right reasons," Good says. "However, I'm getting a little bored. If it wasn't for Michelle on the show, I don't think anybody would watch it."
"I like Brad, he's a good guy, but there's gotta be some kind of personality come out. I would like to see some kind of humor," he continues. "I don't think I've laughed one time this season. It's getting a little dull except for the fact that Michelle's so crazy, I always...

ABC's former "Bachelor" season 14 contestants Rozlyn Papa and Valishia Savage, former "Bachelorette" Season 6 villain Justin "Rated R" Rego, and "Bachelor Pad" star Jesse Kovacs celebrated Papa and Rego's birthday at the Hard Rock Hotel's Beach Club. The group kept low-key and enjoyed food and drinks.
Later in the day, "Bachelor Pad" winner Natalie Getz and "Bachelorette" Season 5 contestant Robby Descant continued the birthday festivities at Pink Taco. "Bachelor Pad" stars Kovacs and David Good, Papa and Rego all enjoyed food and drinks at the Mexican restaurant inside the Hard Rock.
It's nice to see Rego playing nice with people - he was famously outed by his girlfriend while vying for Ali Fedotowsky's heart on "Bachelorette" season six. The wrestler from Toronto, Ontario, Canada was playing Fedotowsky and his girlfriend, a girl named Jessica, the whole time. Producers aired voicemails from Rego that were recorded during the taping of "Bachelorette.

Leave it Kiptyn Locke to see the silver lining in his perpetual runner-up status.
After losing the hand of Jillian Harris on The Bachelorette last year, Locke returned to ABC's reality romance franchise on Bachelor Pad, and last week fans watched as he and partner Tenley Molzahn (a former Bachelor runner-up herself) lost the $250,000 prize to fellow Bachelor alums Natalie Getz and David Good in a group vote.
Fortunately, it's not hard to see the silver lining here. Locke and Molzahn, fan favorites for their good natures and sportsmanship, were the only contestants to leave with the show's other, arguable even more valuable, prize: A blossoming new relationship.
And Locke, a philanthropist and event coordinator, hasn't let a lack of prize money keep him from moving forward on his latest charitable project: Hope Rose, a gift-giving service that also gives back.

David Good and Natalie Getz split the $250,000 "Bachelor Pad" prize on Monday night's show, taking the money away from Tenley Molzahn and Kiptyn Locke, even though the latter were the ones who brought David and Natalie into the final four. The final challenge of the competition had been a "Dancing with the Stars"-type of dance off with the final three couples competing for the roses. The winners not only got to go on to the final four, but they got to pick the couple that went with them. "I wasn't as surprised as some people [that they chose Natalie and me] because I had got Kiptyn through two rounds by really working strategically with him and pulling for him, and getting people to swing votes a certain way," Dave tells Et. "…Kiptyn knew that and Tenley knew that. That is one of the reasons they are such stand-up people. I do think that Elizabeth [Kitt] and...

I hope I wake up tomorrow and it’s still real,” says Good, an entrepreneur from Dayton, Ohio, who feared for his chances when it came down to a vote by the contestants he had a hand in eliminating. “I thought we played the game well, but I was sweating it.” Getz, currently a L.

Last night, $250,000 was handed out on the season finale of " Bachelor Pad " -- so who won? After a " Dancing with the Stars "-themed competition, Elizabeth Kitt and Jesse Kovacs were eliminated -- leaving Tenley Molzahn and Kiptyn Locke to face off against Natalie Getz and David Good ( pictured ) for a spot in the finals. The latter duo won the next round after answering a firing squad of questions from eliminated contestants -- but the money wasn't theirs just yet. There was one more surprise. The two were separated and given the chance to share or keep the total winnings. If they both said "Share," they'd split the money. If one picked "Share," the other "Keep," the one who picked "Keep" got it all. If they both said "Keep," neither would get the money -- but it'd be divided between the other contestants. In the end, Natalie and David both said...

Bachelor Pad saved its best for last if nothing else. The season finale had so many twists and turns, it was actually sort of interesting and we were happy with the result.

Let some shameless cross promotion for Dancing With the Stars decide!
Could Dave Good and Natalie Getz pull off the upset?
The couples must learn ballroom dancing, taught by Dwts pros, then perform for judges - Melissa Rycroft, Jake Pavelka and Trista Sutter. To the winner go the roses.
Kiptyn and Tenley win. Jake is still an absolute stiff, and Melissa still looks like she can't possibly be pregnant. Next up is yet another classic rip-off of Big Brother.

ABC's light summer filler "Bachelor Pad" has crowned two winners of their cash. Natalie Getz from "The Bachelor" season 13 and David Good from "The Bachelorette" season 5 managed to trample down Tenley Molzahn from "Bachelor" season 14 and her partner Kiptyn Locke from "Bachelorette" season 5.
These two couples were battling for $250,000 prize in the reunion episode airing Monday, September 13. Since this is not a real competition, they just have to convince the judges, comprised of the fallen housemates, of what they would do with the money. Natalie said she will start a small charity for prostate cancer because her dad is a survivor while Dave would do a "comic relief".
The votes were in and the judges decided to send Natalie and David to the final. These two then were separated by rooms, asked by host Chris Harrison to choose between "Share" or "Keep". If both pick "Share" then they would get half each,...

The two went through a lot to get that money, but making 6 figures must have been well worth it. So how does it feel? “It feels fantastic and surreal to be a hundred-thousandaire.

On the "Bachelor Pad" finale on Monday night, one lucky couple won $250,000, but there was a twist. Would they split the money, or would just one of them get to keep the whole thing, or would greed cause them to lose it and have the money divided equally among their fellow contestants? Happily, neither Natalie Getz nor David Good were greedy, so they each walked away with $125,000 and the beginning of a relationship. When the "Bachelor Pad" finale began, there were three couples remaining: Tenley Molzahn and Kiptyn Locke, Elizabeth Kitt and Jesse Kovacs, and Natalie and David Good, but only two of the couples would move on to the possibility of winning $250,000. In homage to "Dancing with the Stars," which premieres next Monday, the three couples were asked to compete in a ballroom dancing contest. Tenley and Kiptyn were trained by "Dwts"' professional dancer Chelsie Hightower for the foxtrot,...

So, I really trusted him. I had been nervous at every single rose ceremony. That one I felt pretty safe in and I wasn't. I was lied to." Krisily had more than just faith in David.
