They've announced the Bachelor for the next series, coming in April, and it's someone who's semi-known....NFL Quarterback Jesse Palmer (he started the last few games of the season with the New York Giants), Here's his bio.... http://www.giants.com/team/playerpage.cfm?player_id=32771

Oooooo, he's a hottie! He's going to take some heat from his buddies in the locker room for being on this show, though. Hope he's serious about finding a mate. I'm tired of these guys putting us through all these weeks of hoping for a happy ending and then dumping the girls a few weeks later!

actually babyjax, he might not have a locker room......He's a free agent after this season, and he might not be back with the Giants (he played really poor in his outings apparently...he only started because their main QB was injured, and he lost all the games he started....also there's going to be a new couch there, who might want to clean house a bit)

I have a feeling the producers might "make" this guy stay with him pick longer than a month after the show. If these tv relationships keep fading away, why should anyone invest the time and energy to keep watching "The Bachelor"?

He could marry my daughter. They are the same age. He plays football. She coaches basketball. They would have a lot in common. A match made in heaven, don't you think? Wonder how I can get my daughter on that show. LOL

He's Canadian!!!!!!! Apparently he told a newspaper last June that he wasn't ready for marriage yet - maybe when he's 30. I guess he had a change of heart. He wants someone who wants to have lots of children (a football teams worth, maybe???)

or, big surprise and drum roll, please: maybe he wants the 'fame' and attention that come with being on the bachelor. especially as he knows you don't have to 'really' be serious, a la Bob-ble head. d'ya think?

i can't believe they are going with a professional athlete. they can get any girl any time they want. unless you want to be a "trophy wife" girls should stay away from this one. the percentage of guys staying true to their wives in that job capacity is very slim. i'll go on record here saying he will pick a blonde.

hehehe. I would love to be a trophy wife, but dang I may tail is not trophyish. I would be the ugly girl in the first elimination, or he would keep me so that he could look like he wants to get to know the ugly girl.

He is from here in Ottawa (Canada) and graduated from the same high school that my sons attended, although they are a couple of years after him. He has recently been dating a former Miss Canada ... and actually an article in one of our local newpapers stated that she was quite surprised that he has decided to do this.

i still think it's for attention. c'mon, dating a former miss canada and having to go on a show to find a gal. i don't think so! to me, it's almost as if this is getting so scripted, at least with the bachelors, if not the bachelorettes, that i don't really expect the guy to pick a gal for serious/marriage reasons. right now, i believe the network may be recruiting guys. hell, they may even be handpicking and approaching the 25 women to have a 'good' show. maybe they'll pay them for catfights, etc. i do not believe a 25-year-old man who could have his choice of dates--and has had some great girlfriends and who only last summer wanted to stay single for a lot longer--would approach this show with the complete intent of finding a wife. i won't be watching it, either. i am also getting a little annoyed with how much meredith drinks on the bachelorette. there are other beverages out there!

Hey! My sister lives in Ottawa and she actually partied with this guy on New Years eve at some restaurant party downtown Ottawa...and at the time, he was dating the current 24 year old Miss Canada....and as far as SHE was concerned, he was still digging her and they were very much together! She was shocked to hear that he did this show!! WEIRD INDEED!!!

Disappointing. I'll probably still watch out of curiousity, but it just won't be the same. I may not watch. I don't care for catfights and if that is what the show will turn into just to get viewers...no thanks. I watch this show hoping for a good outcome for the couple...whereas, big fat ob. fiance was just for fun and all the viewers knew it. I don't think I'm being very clear, but maybe you all know what I mean.

From indystar.com: ABC's 'Bachelor' brings date to Indy's zoo Another quarterback, Jesse Palmer, who calls plays for the New York Giants, was in town earlier this month for games of another sort. Palmer, 25, the latest handsome young man to be let loose in the fantasy world of the ABC-TV series, "The Bachelor," brought a date to town and visited the Indianapolis Zoo. (Not that zoo officials will say anything on the subject.) So why come to Indiana? Seems Palmer's parents, Bill and Susan, live here, and every bachelor always brings a date home to meet the folks, of course. Bill Palmer heads business development for the eastern part of the country for the Hunt Construction Group and was a football star in Canada with the Ottawa Rough Riders, according to the Giants.com Web site. Jesse's brother, Billy Palmer, plays ball for Notre Dame.

Well the mole has been exposed.... Keep an eye out for a Jenny S. She's the mole. She's actually married! Jesse knows her and is friends with her because she's the wife of the guy Jesse roomed with in college...
