Bachelor Pad's Blakeley Jones and Tony Pieper have ended their engagement. The couple got engaged during the Bachelor Pad finale in September and also announced plans to move in together. Their engagement proved to be short-lived, as Pieper has now told Wetpaint that he and Jones are no longer planning to marry. "Unfortunately, things didn't work as we had hoped," Pieper disclosed. He added: "No one is to blame. It just ended up being a lot harder than (more)...

And the curse of the Bachelor breakup strikes again. Bachelor Pad season three contestants Tony Pieper and his partner turned fiancée, Blakeley Jones, have called it quits just one month after they announced their engagement. The 30-year-old single dad has since changed his Facebook relationship status from "engaged" to "single." Meanwhile, Blakeley posted an Instagram photo of a quote on Friday that read, "You don't know how strong you are, until being strong is the only choice you have." Pieper and Jones' broken engagement is the third October split in the never-ending Bachelor breakup streak. In early October, Ben Flajnik called off his 11-month engagement to...

Less than two months after they got engaged on the finale of Bachelor Pad 3, Blakeley Jones and Tony Pieper have gone their separate ways.
"This didn't end the way I wanted it to," Pieper tells People. "I thought Blakeley was the love of my life."
Pieper, who competed for Emily Maynard's heart on The Bachelorette, met Jones, from Ben Flajnik's season of The Bachelor, on the third installment of Bachelor Pad. The pair became partners, cozied up on several romantic dates and by the finale, Pieper shocked fans and viewers by proposing with a Neil Lane engagement ring.

The giving of the $250,000 grand prize turned out to not be the only highlight of the "Bachelor Pad" -- though it was most certainly memorable! In a moment that completely stunned virtually everyone in there, including his intended target, Tony Pieper got down on one knee for fellow contestant Blakeley Jones.
The two met on the show, but this isn't "The Bachelor" or "The Bachelorette." This show isn't designed to end with a proposal of marriage.
"You’re kidding me," Was Jones' first response, clearly not believing he was for real. But Pieper kept going and finally she agreed, saying, "Oh my God! Are you serious? Absolutely!”
RumorFix is reporting that the couple is open to having their wedding televised, further stating that Jones is moving in with Pieper and his 5-year-old son. Maybe they could get married on an episode of "The Bachelor," to show those contestants where this...

There is so much we need to discuss that took place on the finale of Bachelor Pad 3 but let’s be honest the only thing that anybody on the planet will be discussing is Nick deciding to keep the money all for himself leaving Rachel heartbroken and just plain broke. I can’t wait to hear from all of you and get your feelings on this situation. While I don’t necessarily want to just throw out my own opinion I do have a unique perspective of this situation and there are some things I think you should know that might change your perspective.

What started off as a panel of fresh faces, plastered on fake smiles and a colorful display of a few random fashion choices ended in running mascara, devilish smirks and enough f-bombs to merit one, long consistent beep from the FCC. Harrison was the ringmaster and the contestants were mere players in his three ring circus.
That's right, ladies and gentlemen -- the third installment of the "Bachelor Pad" has taken its final bow and has crowned a new schmuck as its heartless winner.

In an interview with host Chris Harrison, he teased that they had to come up with a different word to describe this year's "Bachelor Pad" finale - "disturbing," as opposed to "dramatic." So needless to say, we're chomping at the bit to find out what goes down.
The panel of evicted contestants are introduced -- what in the heck is Jamie wearing? She's like if H&M was putting out a line of Native American princess chic. And also, Erica Rose's hair looks 1000x better than it did on the show. Blondes rarely look good with that platinum, trashy color. That nice honey color is so much better.
After a pointless video recap, we learn that Kalon/Lindzi are still going strong, so that's cool. Of course Erica must stick her giant $0.02 in, telling Lindzi to be careful and that she sees Kalon around town with different girls all the time.

Wow, talk about a fiery finale! The wrath of the women comes down on Chris, Blakeley and Tony just might live happily ever after and Rachel is devastated not once but twice. Read on for all the details! Chris Harrison sits down with the cast to talk about the season and find out where people stand. Immediately, the drama begins. Lindzi and Kalon are still dating, yet Erica tells Lindzi she should be careful since she's seen Kalon around town with different women and knows he was in Houston with his ex-girlfriend. Michael says, "did I go onto Bachelor Pad three looking for a wife? No, because it's Bachelor Pad." He also reveals that while he enjoyed making out, hanging out and sleeping with Rachel, he 'didn't think there was enough there to continue the relationship.' Meanwhile, in romance news, Blakeley says, "Tony lifted a weight off my shoulders and made everything okay.

It happened again, "Bachelor Pad" fans. A real couple may have come out of the "Bachelor Pad" house.
On the season finale of the third season, Blakeley Jones and Tony Pieper announced to the group and the studio audience that they were moving in together in Portland. But then -- and this looked like it actually came as a surprise to both Blakeley and host Chris Harrison -- Tony got down on one knee and proposed.

With perhaps the unlikeliest final four in Bachelor Pad history, host Chris Harrison called tonight’s finale ”one of the wildest, craziest, most dramatic and devastatingly stunning shows you have ever seen.” Between unexpected romantic pairings (and triangles… and quadrangles), game-changing eliminations, and some truly ear-shattering karaoke, the path to tonight’s episode has been anything but smooth.

After Kalon and Lindzi leave "Bachelor Pad," Chris pats himself and the rest of the group on the back for being so special and privileged and something or other. He does have a point -- surviving a "Bachelor" show and then surviving "Bachelor Pad" without contracting herpes or developing a raging drinking problem is quite the achievement. So he obviously was not talking to Ed.
The Challenge
Harrison drops the bomb that one couple goes home immediately after this challenge, but he doesn't say it's the losers. He just says the winners have a lot of power, so clearly the winners get to send any couple packing that they choose.
The challenge is "Hanging by a Thread" and involves each couple putting one half on a seat suspended above the pool. The other half answers trivia questions about "Bachelor" shows. Three wrong answers will send the seat plummeting away, then...

"She's still p***ed she got screwed over," Harrison told TV Guide.

Kalon and Lindzi might have been eliminated from Bachelor Pad last week, but it was a surprisingly undramatic exit, right? That means the big topic of conversation in the mansion now is Rachel and Nick - will they survive since they've kind of been thrown together? And it seems there are some dark glances being thrown Rachel's way since she considered leaving and all. Actually, Sarah feels bad for Nick: "He knows Rachel's mind isn't in this game." But maybe Rachel and Nick will surprise everyone! We're about to find out... it's challenge time! Making a splash Blakeley's keen to win the challenge to get Chris out of the mansion, but Chris Harrison has a surprise when he shows up to the mansion. There are no roses up for grabs this time around. The winners will have a lot of power - but here comes another bombshell.

The final episode in the house was the biggest one yet. Next week’s episode will be the finale which takes place in front of a live studio audience and I’ll talk a little bit about that later.
This week was different as we held two competitions. The first competition was a huge project. We blacked out the windows in the back of the house so the contestants couldn’t see what was going on but due to all the noise they knew something big was happening back there. Our crews worked non-stop day and night to quickly build that contraption over the pool.

Ah the '80s. It was a time when grown adults wore skin-tight acid washed jeans, shredded at the knee. We sprayed at least half a can of Aqua Net on our permed bangs to reach maximum height for head banging. The gloves were both fingerless and lace while the t-shirts were dayglow. Mike Fleiss spent roughly 90 minutes of last night's episode paying homage to the greatest decade ever. Sadly, other than Blakeley, the remaining contestants weren't even alive during the '80s to truly appreciate the moment. But that didn't stop them from attempting to be totally awesome to the max. Too bad they all gagged me with a spoon instead. Welcome to week seven of "Bachelor Pad!"

It was really interesting to read the reactions to last week’s elimination. Many of you respected what Erica did, and many of you were in Michael’s camp. One of the things I love about this show is the different emotions and opinions it brings out in our fans. One thing is for sure, and that is Rachel is not happy that Michael is gone, especially now as the contestants are partnered up all the way to the very end. The good news for Rachel is that her new partner Nick (I had no idea he was on this season,...

It's still Chris and Sarah versus the rest of the "Bachelor Pad" house, while Ed turns out to be the skanky d-bag we all thought we was and Rachel is "a widow," which .... of course that's what someone on this co-dependent, Stockholm Syndrome show would say.

Rachel's having a total meltdown, like she can't date Michael when the show is over in like two weeks. Um, if you are so weak that you worry how you'll survive in this stupid game without him for two weeks, then you don't deserve a guy like Michael Stagliano. Get a rein on your horses, lady.

Get ready for a little shakeup. From now on, Bachelor Pad contestants will have to compete as couples, which meant heartbroken Rachel had to get over Michael's elimination and focus on her new man, Nick. Especially when it came to tonight's toughest challenge yet—a spelling bee. But this wasn't any ordinary spelling bee. Like we said, everyone must compete as a couple now, which meant for this challenge, each duo had to spell their designated word by alternating letters. Yeah, not so easy. Blakeley and new partner Tony were the first couple out with the word "elimination." How fitting, right? It came down to Ed and Jaclyn against...

Bachelor Pad is definitely the worst thing to happen on television in the last 24 hours (if not 24 months), and yet not only am I recapping it, I’ve taken a rooting interest in which of its bedraggled, hard-drinking cast members wins the $250,000 cash prize and/or “love.”
Last night’s episode found teammates Blakeley and Tony winning the respective women’s and men’s tea-cup race challenges, and extending immunity to Kalon and Jaclyn. In a surprise twist clearly designed to keep woman-hating ogre Chris in the competition, the rules were changed, with every contestant voting to eliminate one woman.

Once again this episode starts with the fallout from the last elimination. As you can see, the anger management classes aren’t exactly working for Chris. He’s an angry little elf, isn’t he? Michael had a great line when he said Chris was taking up “all the a-hole space” in the house. You know things are getting out of hand when even Michael Stagliano thinks you’re being a dill-weed.
This week’s challenge, “The Great Fall of China,” really did seem simple when I was explaining it, but as you saw, it was pretty difficult to execute.

Before we jump into the show tonight, faithful readers and "Bachelor Pad" fans, we must draw your attention to this interview we did with Chris last week in case you missed it. His lack of self-awareness is staggering. Not only does he think his stringing along of multiple women "part of the game" (it's not), but he thought Jamie would give him a hug before she let last week. A Hug, you guys. He's lucky he didn't get punched in the throat.
Blakeley sums it up nicely in the opening few frames when she calls him "the s*** on the bottom of my shoe." But then Stagliano hilariously one-ups her with, "Chris is taking up all the a**hole space in the house."
Kalon tells Chris the truth -- he's a loose cannon that nobody likes and he won't listen to anyone (because he has the emotional maturity of a...

You can tell that this is going to be an intense episode of Bachelor Pad - just the opening "here's what's coming up" sequence is pretty lengthy. We've only just had the last rose ceremony, but David's already talking about the power couples in the house: Chris and Blakeley, Kalon and Lindzi, Rachel and Michael and Ed and Jaclyn. But will those couples be intact by the end of the episode? Ed and Jaclyn are certainly feeling very smug, since they got Reid out (there's a lot of talk about him being a "dummy" and lots of cat-that-got-the-cream grins.) On the other hand, Jamie and David are both feeling a little nervous since they know that people who had agreed with their plan had then gone and done something else. That's the name of the game, guys! Anyway, Jamie suspects Kalon and Lindzi (the scoundrels) but the pair agree they'll...

The Olympic flame might have gone out in London, but on Bachelor Pad, the wildfires are just starting to burn. With Reid gone, there was a huge shift of power in the house and the people left in the wake had to come together to try and get rid of the now-forming power couples. Our competition this week, the Game Show Mash-Up, was really a no-holds-barred, tell it like it is kind of competition, and let me tell you, it wasn’t long before the claws came out.

When we last left the fine folks of the "Bachelor Pad," David is the last fan standing, while Ed is kind of a raging alcoholic and Chris is hooking up with everything that moves.
Post Elimination
Ed and Jaclyn drunkenly slur things at each other and then Jaclyn mixes some metaphors about a scale of 1-10 and Cloud 9. On a scale of one to 10, those two don't have five brain cells between them. Meanwhile, Jamie's sweating things a bit because really the only ally she has in the house is David, who is probably not long for the "Bachelor Pad" world if he doesn't win the challenge.
Then Chris Harrison stops by and they all have to fill out a survey about each other. Glassy-eyed Jaclyn sways on her feet as she tries to remember how to write, while Kalon smirks like he's still some kind of villain instead of an empty suit.

If Bachelor Pad's Chris was in hot water with the women last week, this week his situation started boiling over.
After ditching his partner Blakeley to hook up with Jamie, Chris then made the ultimate switch by choosing Sarah for his one-on-one date. When they didn't come home until the next morning, the ladies got angry. Fortunately for Chris, he was safe this week and was able to get one member of his love square out of the house. But in doing so, host Chris Harrison says Chris has put a big, fat target on his back.

In case you were worried that ABC’s Monday-night crapsterpiece Bachelor Pad was going highbrow — all together now: “not me!” — this week’s episode featured a “Hot Sludge Fundae” obstacle course with a sack race/peanut slathering station that allowed host Chris Harrison to instruct the 16 remaining contestants to get in their “nut sacks.”

The latest "Bachelor Pad" picks up with the fallout from Ed's near-eviction. Sarah, the girl who thought she was pathetic for not hooking up, is now feeling so guilty about voting to evict her hook-up Ed. She's actually crying about it. And Ed is thinking about leaving because he can't handle the game. Things are harsh when you're sober, huh, Ed? But that lasts about five seconds, as Man-clyn convinces him to stay. So .... who cares?

Last week's Bachelor Pad premiere was dramatic, to say the least. The show couldn't possibly keep it up for a second episode, could it? Well, actually yes, it could. This week had everything - love triangles and backstabbing and twins screaming at each other and fricking rhythmic gymnastics. I mean, seriously? Let's go back to the beginning, though - Erica's thrilled she survived the rose ceremony, but David is not. He's kind of figured out that his place in the house is looking shaky, so he needs to rely on the other fans. Unfortunately for him, the twins - who I'm not even going to pretend I can tell apart - are basically self-combusting as everyone else laughs in their direction.

We’re only two weeks in and already things are getting out of hand on Bachelor Pad. The great thing about this season is how much things have changed and will continue to change with every coming week. As soon as Paige and Swat said their goodbyes, I expected everyone to just go to bed and get rested for the next competition — but not this group. The twins, Erica and Brittany, had been after each other all week, and no one really knew why. It was pretty clear that if these two girls didn’t calm down, they were on a path to self-destruction.

"Bachelor Pad" kicks off Monday (July 30) with a montage of how gross and creepy the twins are. Nobody likes them and they make everybody uncomfortable. Meanwhile, Chris is still trying to balance a "partnership" with Blakeley with his wanting to get some nookie with Jamie.
The Competition
Some are acrobats there, performing with hula hoops and balls and whatnot -- Harrison says it's honor of the Summer Olympics going on "right now." Uh huh. We all know this isn't live, right? Why are we pretending?
Anyway. They all have to learn a rhythmic gymnastics routine and perform it for judges to get the rose. Oh, lordy. The two worst are given a vote against them heading into the Rose Ceremony. And the two genders are performing together as a group. They have two hours. Go!
Is this supposed to be amusing for us to watch? Because it's mostly just dumb,...

We’ve got questions, and you’ve (maybe) got answers! With another week of TV gone by, here are some queries we’re going to lob at you, from shows including Breaking Bad, Falling Skies, Burn Notice and General Hospital!
1 | Did you hope, just for a second, that Blair would accept Todd’s crazytown proposal — and that maybe Kassie DePaiva would stick around Port Charles — when she visited General Hospital? On a related note, who agrees that Jason Thompson actually looks like he’s been crying as much and hard as Patrick? Way to sell the storyline! Oh, and: Ewen...

You can either respect him for speaking the truth to his fellow Bachelor Pad contestant Erica Rose and telling her she was his target ... or call him stupid for doing that exact thing.
Whatever you may think, "super fan" David Mallet says he did what he had to doto protect himself and his fellow newbies, who were clearly the underdogs since joining the latest season of Bachelor Pad. In a conference call with the media yesterday, David talked about coming into the show as an "outsider," and also shared his thoughts on the Chris/Jamie/Blakeley drama, who can win it all and whether Erica Rose actually makes his life hell, as she promised she would if she wasn't voted out.

They came, they drank, they catfought.
In fact, so much "newbies vs. alumni" and "mean girls vs. Blakeley" and "Erica Rose vs. everyone" drama happened on the premiere of Bachelor Pad season 3 that it couldn't all fit into the two-hour episode! Check out two deleted scenes from Monday's introductory episode, plus the all-sorts-of-dramatic preview for the rest of the season:...

"Bachelor Pad" is back, y'all. It's like the trashy "Big Brother," which is saying something, you know? We're pumped. Also, it's great how the previews are edited to make it look as though someone gets murdered with a knife. If only.
Also, the super fan twist is great, especially if these people are actual fans and not just pretty people cast on the show. And the contestants need to check their snottiness at the door, because you wouldn't Have a "Bachelor Pad" to go be trashy on if it weren't for super fans, so let's not pretend like your stuff don't stink, ya know?
Introductions Highlights
Reid is apparently still mad at Ed for swooping in and taking Jillian Harris? Um, wasn't that like a thousand years ago in reality show time?
Blakeley says she's remembered as the "girl that not everyone liked." Um, no, sweetie. That was Courtney. Also,...

Season 3 of "Bachelor Pad" premiers Monday (July 23), but in case you can't wait that long to get more scoop on the "Big Brother"-like show, we've got some spoilery goodness from Reality Steve right now.
Courtesy of Rs, we already know who the final two couples are (you can find out here), and ABC gave us this episode description for the July 30 episode:
"After an edgy season premiere pitting the super fans against the alumni from the 'Bachelor' franchise, love takes center stage. In the second challenge, 'Rhythmic Gymnastics,' the women will fail to find their groove while the men will try to make up for their lack of grace with sheer attitude. On a 3-on-1 date, a fan favorite will find unexpected sparks at a rock concert with a beautiful housemate. The other 3-on-1 date features a race for a woman's heart -- in a soapbox derby!

It's time for "The Bachelorette: Men Tell All" reunion special, gang. Can you believe there are two hours of this nonsense? Strap in. And have a glass of wine for me.
Chris Harrison kicks things off by asking the audience who wants to finally see Emily Maynard find love? And then he says the American people do too. Well, yes -- does that mean she'll go away then? There is then a pre-taped chitchat where Emily recaps the season. I shall not be recapping the recap.
The Outtakes
They show Emily spilling wine on her gorgeous pink ballgown and then swearing about it, which -- those moments would go a long way to making her more human. They really should've included that. Turns out the egg thing with Travis was even creepier than we ever knew. Dude.Chris is a terrible dancer, but he does get huge credit for trying.

Remember that Monday night last summer where you consumed three-quarters of a bottle of chardonnay and fell asleep on your living room couch watching a Season 2 episode of Bachelor Pad?

Well it is, rose lovers — the new season premieres Monday, July 23 — and this is the moment America has I’ve been waiting for all summer: The Bachelor Pad 3 cast announcement!

Ellen DeGeneres showed how she would tackle the Bachelor women in a new video parodying this week's Women Tell All. Dressed in a sparkly top, the comedian is seen defending allegations thrown at her by Ben Flajnik's angry bachelorettes in a "deleted scene" from Monday night's (March 5) reunion special. Watch Ellen DeGeneres on The Bachelor below: "I really did come here to make friends. I was not here for Ben. Let's face it, I was here for the girls," she told host Chris Harrison, before winking at the other women. "I can tell you [my wife] Portia is a little upset because she thought I was going to be on The Amazing Race." DeGeneres then defended her apparent behaviour, which included explaining why she seemed to call Blakeley a "stripper". "I did not call you a stripper. (more)...

The Bachelor and The Bachelorette specials are edited together from clips of a marathon day of alcohol-fueled bickering, bawling, bad-mouthing and broken hearts. And The Women Tell All installment for Ben Flajnik's season, which taped Feb. 24 in Hollywood, did not disappoint when it aired Monday. It was the first time a contender still in the running for the final rose appeared on the reunion and, considering the fireworks that occurred when the women confronted Courtney, it was well worth it. As controversial and dramatic as it played out on television, there were memorable moments (and even more profanity, courtesy of...

It's been months since The Bachelor finished filming, but the eliminated women wasted no time in rehashing — and battling about — this past season on the Women Tell All episode. We checked in with host Chris Harrison, who shared his thoughts on Courtney's tearful apology, why Blakeley got off easy, and how viewers will see a very different Ben Flajnik on next week's After the Final Rose special.
