Jake Pavelka to serve as next 'The Bachelor' star


ABC will apparently be casting a familiar face as its next The Bachelor star.

Former The Bachelorette fifth-season suitor Jake Pavelka will serve as The Bachelor's fourteenth-season star, Brittney Gammel -- who claims to be one of Pavelka's bachelorettes -- told ABC's WKRN-TV affiliate in Nashville, TN on Thursday.

Gammel, a 25-year-old Learjet pilot from Franklin, TN, said she'll be attempting to woo Pavelka during The Bachelor's upcoming installment but is unsure how a potential relationship would actually work since Pavelka is also a pilot.

"We'd never see each other," she told WKRN-TV. "We'd always be flying. We'd miss each other all the time."

The Bachelor host Chris Harrison previously announced via his Twitter account that the next The Bachelor star would be revealed during Dancing with the Stars' October 13 broadcast -- and ABC remained mum when asked by Us Weekly about Gammel's claim.

"We are not going to confirm who The Bachelor is or if this woman is even one of the bachelorettes," an ABC representative told Us. "People need to tune into Dancing With the Stars on October 13 to find out the real identity of the next Bachelor."

Harrison had previously teased that Pavelka was "obviously" one of the candidates to serve as The Bachelor's next star.

Gammel said The Bachelor will begin filming next month and it will premiere as midseason programming, presumably in January.

Jake as the next Bachelor is pretty much what people are concluding. For me - Blech!

Wow! This is going down just as it was rumored to. He did their dirty work by coming back and doing that embarassing bit with the country singer (gosh - his name has slipped my mind!) and he was promised to be the next bachelor...

It was Wes.

Let's chat after the DWTS results show tomorrow- we'll know the full story by then!

10pm EST.

Well, we now now for certain that Jake is the next tool. Production began filming last week (Oct 15/16) and the season for sleuths is in full swing. We have until January to decide whether to use two hours on Monday to watch the show or perhaps stick with the current package of Heroes and Lie To Me.

Reality vs. Non-Reality - or scripted reality vs. fiction...it's a choice.
