Based on the ratings from last night's premiere episode, fans of The Bachelor aren't particularly interested in seeing Brad Womack for a second time. But how would those same viewers feel if the gentleman in question was Perez Hilton?
On last night's broadcast of Jimmy Kimmel Live, the celebrity blogger got his own chance to look for love ... and an an opportunity to get close to host Chris Harrison.
I don't know about you -- but I would definitely be interested in watching this version of the aging show.

Bachelor’s Melissa Now Dancing with the Stars Competitor
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, The Bachelor, Gossip,
Who needs Nancy O’Dell? ABC has just scored someone even better.
Despite being faced with two holes in their casting lineup, the producers of Dancing with the Stars have rebounded quickly. (Practice apparently makes perfect.) According to insiders, the injured host of Access Hollywood has already been replaced with one of the most talked about women around: Melissa Rycroft.
Just days after being publicly humiliated on TV, The Bachelor‘s Rycroft will reportedly be facing the national spotlight once again. According to People, the jilted fiancee will be stepping out on the ballroom floor tomorrow as Nancy O’Dell’s substitute. Although Rycroft will have had little rehearsal time, the 25-year-old already has other dance (and reality) experience under her belt. Melissa was also featured on Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team.
Earlier this week, it was revealed by several sources that Holly Madison (The Girls Next Door) would be filling in for singer Jewel.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Music, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, American Idol, Scrubs, The Bachelor, Ratings,
Last night’s premiere of Reaper never really stood a chance. Although it was originally scheduled for a 9:00 debut, CW pitted the show against both American Idol and The Biggest Loser. (Had NCIS been new, the bleeding could have been worse.)
8pm
- Approximately 24.2 million watched the final group perform on American Idol (8.9/23 in 18-49).
- NCIS* (2.6/7) dialed up 13.7 million.
- The Biggest Loser: Couples (3.5/9) averaged 9 million over two hours.
- Homeland Security USA (1.6/4) detained 5.7 million.
- Reaper (2.4 million, 0.9/2) lost 330,000 from its last season finale.

Monday Ratings: Rosy Evening for ABC
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, 24, Heroes, Medium, The Bachelor, Ratings,
Jason Mesnick’s shocking reveal might not have done much for his reputation, but it did plenty for ABC. Yesterday’s Bachelor episode saw its largest audience since 2003 (when Bob Guiney picked Estella Gardinier). The finale - coupled with the post-show special - also led ABC to an easy win last night.
8pm
- The Bachelor (5.4/13 in 18-49) was up 4.5 million from last week.
- A two-hour 24 event (3.3/8) averaged 11.1 million.
- The Big Bang Theory (3.9/10) returned to 10.9 million; How I Met Your Mother (4.2/10) rounded up 11.1 million.
- Chuck (6.6 million, 2.4/6) did about the same.
- Gossip Girl* (1.1 million, 0.5/1) remained steady.

MONDAY 3/2)
- The Bachelor (ABC, 8pm): “It’s down to Melissa and Molly as Jason bestows the final rose.” But first, two more quick trips to the hot tub.
- Rules of Engagement (CBS, 9:30pm): Season premiere. “Audrey learns Russell is a closet Broadway musical fan, and uses the knowledge to blackmail him for theater tickets.” Tip: Blackmail is best used when Broadway shows aren’t closing.
- CSI: Miami (CBS, 10pm): “A murder occurs onboard a yacht belonging to high-powered attorney Derek Powell (Sean Combs).” Blood at Diddy’s “White Party”? That’s gonna stain.
- Late Night with Jimmy Fallon (NBC, 12:30am): “Jimmy Fallon’s inaugural show features Robert De Niro and Justin Timberlake.” Carson Daly has been working for years to get both these guys.
