Casting for Bachelor 12??

[sushifan]

A friend of mine works at a law firm in RI. Today, one of their HR people sent the following email to the entire firm:

"The firm was contacted today by the show "The Bachelor". They are
looking for a young, successful, good looking attorney to headline the
next season.

If you or anyone you know is interested in applying, please have them
contact John Perez at the number below. Attached is the press release
with his contact information. Feel free to circulate to any interested
individuals. They informed us that anyone who puts them in direct
contact with the guy who becomes their next bachelor, will get a $5000
finder's fee. Good luck!"

Hmm....is this a good thing or a bad thing? Maybe Brad was such a success (and is getting married) , that they are ready to find the next guy really quick!??? One can only hope.....

Sounds like they are getting ready for the spring show. They had such a difficult time finding a Bachelor for this show that they are starting extra early to find the guy this time. I remember that they have looked at a few different professions at once, so the next Bachelor may or may not be an attorney.

Does not sound like a Bachelorette show for the spring. Darn.

That makes me sad in a way because that means they are not casting a bachelorette. It is time for the lady to choose.

Maybe they're giving Sadie another year to get ready, lol.

Me too. I'm ready for a change.

Maybe so since they kept bugging the audience in the ATFR special about how they would feel about her as the bachelorette. I personally think Sadie is too young right now and isn't ready. They are refusing to cast Danielle or Bevin who I think would be ready. I can tell you I don't want Krisily or Erica Rose. I like Moana and if they give Sadie a year or two I would like her.

ABC has scheduled a new show for between The Bachelor 11 & 12 runs, in Jan-Feb '08. So ABC has no room for The Bachelorette in 2008.

Bachelor 12 doesn't start filming until after New Year's Day. They're starting the search very early this time. I wonder how long it will take to cast the lead.

No exotic location is hinted, so it looks like another So. Cal. (L.A./Malibu) Bacheor season.

Bachelor 12
Filming Jan-Feb '08
Airing ~March 31 '08 through ~May 19 '08

Let the sleuthing begin!

I so agree! And I do hope they consider Sadie if they cast another Bachelorette show. I liked Moana, also.

They should never choose anyone who is the F2 person. There is too much baggage. Isn't it interesting that all the bachelorettes were re-runs. I wonder what would happen with a totally new woman. Only Blob was a re-run bachelor and not a very successful one.

A woman who had the same "credentials" that they look for in a male. Beautiful, fit, successful, outgoing and confident with men, interesting life situation, some kind of "handle." Looking for a male partner who would relocate!
