See, I feel completely opposite to that. To get engaged to the "man of your dreams" and then pose naked in wedding attire for strange men to gawk at you in lust (I mean, this mag isn't sold on its editorials) - very poor taste imo.

I think that this stunt far outweighs Chelsea's FD.

Thanks for your view.

I want to be clear in my intentions, this is a completely serious inquiry.

I would also like to hear the opinion of all those who spoke so highly of Shayne and what a mature responsible, young woman with morals integrity etc- doesn't look like she was looking for any publicity out of this show now ,does it? This just further confirms the hunch of many that she was in it for the exposure. How unfortunate for her that it was released the day after her finale. How fortunate for the magazine publishers that she was actually the F1. Of course would the same fans be watching the show as the ones buying the magazine? Somehow I doubt it.

well she is an actress...what do you expect...that wasn't hiddent for Matt. They just have to deal with it. She will be continued to be on big screen...small screen and magazine. And ofcourse people will be trashed her inside out but lets just look at ourselves. Matt's choice is Matt's choice. I still think we shouldn't charge people by its cover.

Congratulation to Matt and Shayne....

I think she had gained a lot of fans for being real and genuine, and I would not be surprised if she lost many because of the pictures. I personally say do whatever you feel comfortable with. My only problem is obviously posing in the veil is appropriate since she is now engaged; however, she shot this when it was supposed to be a secret. I don't know. It just seems weird to me.

ITA w/your post. I find these pictures to be in extremely poor taste.

The Bachelor Winner Poses For Girls Gone Wild Magazine - PEOPLE TV Watch

She may be engaged, but The Bachelor: London Calling winner Shayne Lamas — who got a ring from Matt Grant Monday night — isn’t buttoning up: She’s poised to make her print debut on the cover of Girls Gone Wild magazine.


Apart from a sizzling six-page photo spread, Lamas, 22, is revealing details from her time on the ABC reality show. During the interview, Lamas says she jumped on board the Bachelor show to her find true love. “It’s what every girl wants,” she says in the chat, characterizing her fiancé as being “very casual [and] respectful of women.”

But don’t expect any juicy details about the proposal. Lamas was interviewed while she was contractually obligated to stay mum about the season finale.

Girls Gone Wild publisher Joe Francis says Lamas’ appeal is easy to sum up. “Shayne has a genuine ‘girl next door’ quality,” he said in a press release. “But she also happens to be very hot.”

Lamas’ Girls Gone Wild pictorial features no nudity

Wow!!

You've done it; you've gotten me out of my self-imposed retirement. Now I have to disabuse myself with the notion that this "over-the-top" season had ended.

In light of this new piece of info, now I would really feel cheated if they don't have a televised wedding with her friend Joe in charge of the ensuing party...just think of all the possibilities.

Time for a cold shower.

Girls girls girls.

I must say I'm rethinking things.

I have said Matt lacks a certain generosity of spirit, as evidenced by such seemingly selfish and hurtful cracks as ""24 losers", 24/7 meeps, boring dates, unhot party tricks, my fiance is one sandwich short of a picnic, and the like.

But I have reconsidered in the face of the GIRLS GONE WILD media spread.

Matt always said that Shayne made him feel like a 16 year old boy.

AND NOW HE IS SHARING HER WITH ALL THE 16 YEAR OLD BOYS!!

Seriously. What could be more generous than to share your fiance with the young fans of that All American series, Girls Gone Wild.

Disney should be so proud of its latest star.

that nothing different then Chelsea's striping on camera for the Bachelor...nothing more than Matt kissing too many ladies on the same night. I think they just need to work this out together with Matt. Knowing...Shayne probably have a hard time watching the Bachelor with Matt kissing these women on the same night. That it just a pictures...I still feel the same way toward Shayne...

I wouldn't exactly call what she's doing "acting". And it's not as though she's posing for "Vogue" here. This is one of the most exploitive franchises out there. And I guess what has my dander really up, is all the crap dumped on Chelsea for the FD episode, and ... my ... gosh... never mind... I'm blown away by this....

I always supported Chelsea and still do. I posted after the fantasy dates that I didn't have a problem with the nightgown shot, but do feel that she was prodded into it by the producers. My heart broke for her last night. I also don't have a problem with Shayne's magazine posing. Whatever makes her happy. I wouldn't have a problem if it was Chelsea or Amanda either. Everyone makes their own decisions on what is acceptable to them. Shayne earned my respect during the course of the season because she did handle herself with maturity. She also doesn't seem bothered by other people's impressions of her. She's confident in who she is and that is such an attractive quality.

So there you are dodie, that's my take on it

Well, one of them has to earn a living, don't they? She had to strike while the iron's hot. Wonder where else she'll show up? I'm guessing we're going to see a lot more of her in the coming months (pun intended).
