The article says that she graduated from HS in 1998. If she typically started school at 6 and finished around 18, then she would be 29 not 31. Since the website says 29, and the graduation date is 1998, I am inclined to believe she is 29; I believe the author of the article is perhaps in error.

I reported the Howard Stern information several weeks ago. He actually viewed the entire first two edited episodes. That was confirmed else where and here on FoRT. That was the first we knew about one of the contestants caught in a sexual affair with one of the production crew. I believe that jlccaz actually beat me to the scoop and posted the Howard Stern information just before I did. It was on all the internet sites following this season the afternoon of the broadcast.

Howard Stern did break the news of an affair between a contestant and a crew member first, yes.

ETA: eowenc beat me to it!

Bloomers, I was going to say that she doesn't even look like she would be 31, so you're right and she is 29. It was just an error. :nod

What a hoot, though, that we are supposed to have the inside info when we are the ones trying our best to figure out what happened!:nerd

We need all the information we can get, so thanks for scoop!! So, Howard had a show that Mike Fleiss ripped off, huh? Do you know what the final outcome was? As long as Beth stays interested in the show, Howard could come in handy (as he has) for seasons to come, haha!

Have we figured out who goes on the 2-1 date yet? I think we had Vienna pegged as one of the girls.Do we have any clue who the other might be?

About the only thing that RS spilled was to expect a Sea World date - that was pretty much it.

We also know that Jake pushed like the dickens to be the Bachelor. Why? Did he just want the experience of being the Bachelor? Was he ever really, really interested in the remote chance that he might find someone?
If he was, then Gia is not a shoo-in because Gia's profile does not fit in with Jake's individual and family profile.

Now, if Jake simply wanted to be the Bachelor, and the producers knew it ( "What do you want out of the show, Jake? yada, yada), then they might have bargained with him for an F1 Gia for the entertainment value since it wouldn't matter to him anyway whether anything came of it.

Although he went in promoting the " I am going to find my fiancee," his interviews are much less promising at this point. He is sounding rather apathetic in his interviews concerning the outcome imo.

Not that it germane to the discussion at hand, I don't believe the statement I highlighted entirely factual.

I remember reading Jason putting a full out effort into becoming a contestant of Survival, and when that failed (believe he said to have tried out for a couple of seasons). a friend of his in California and past Bachelor contestant (Bevin?) suggesting that he try out for the Bachelor, and accepted for DeAnna's season straight away, and only when being a part of "the process", did Jason pursue Bachelor 13.

Frankly, that scenario rings true to me, given circumstances related to his divorce ... Jason wanting to shake up his life with a bit of adventure (Survival being his first choice), and in the process, able to develop the type of feelings to pursue another serious relationship and marriage.

I agree GA!!
We can reference this post to say "I told you so". Seriously though, I have a feeling that anyone who doesn't succumb to TPTB's little games gets tagged "difficult".
