'The Bachelorette': Scandal! We're shocked, shocked.

Another season, another ginned-up "scandal" on "The Bachelorette." This one involves one of Ali Fedotowsky's suitors, who's quickly -- and rightly -- pegged as a guy who's "there for the wrong reasons."Spoilers a-comin', so if you'd rather go into the season fresh, go ahead and click elsewhere now.
The guy in question is Justin Rego, a pro wrestler whose stage name is "Rated-R." We'll learn this on the May 24 premiere, because he wears a T-shirt with "Rated-R" across the chest when he meets Ali.
"Bachelor" and "Bachelorette" authority Reality Steve has the details on what goes down after that. Rego sticks around for a while -- until a woman named Jessica Spillas gets in touch with Ali through Jessie Sulidis -- the bachelorette who outed Rozlyn Papa supposedly kissing a producer on the last "Bachelor."
Spillas informs Ali that she's Rego's girlfriend, and that she knew about and supported his decision to do the show in order to further his career (Rego, by the way, has also appeared on a Canadian show called "Keys to the VIP," where two guys compete to see who can pick up more women in a club. He lost).
The reason Spillas comes forward, according to Reality Steve, is because she discovers that Rego had been seeing another woman as well. Needless to say, the third woman in this quadrangle -- Ali -- doesn't appreciate hearing about it, and that's the end of Rated-R.
Until then, you can likely expect the same amount of subtle, understated hyping of the "scandal" and whatever shock waves it creates from the always-restrained ABC promotional team.

"Rated-R"? I am a huge wrestling fan and I have never heard of him. He does not compete in any of the international or even national organization. This is like having a Double-A level baseball player, they are technically a pro baseball player but are so trivial that even fans of his team may not know him.

Don't the producers of this show do any background checking or do they let guys like this on just for the "scandal" they can exploit for ratings. In the meantime, do they give a s..t about the feelings of the Bachelorette?
why do people watch shows like this...
Its kinda sickening how people apply shows like Survivor to their every day life.. meaning its not how you live life its how many people are against you in the final count...
this show is repulsive because there are enough fools out there that think this is how life should be.
Life imitates art .. art imitates life...
what does it matter
We need shows for enjoyment not shows that mold reality for people who are easily lead.
In the end we will all have someone to answer to about what good we did with our time on earth..
oh HOCKEY GUY -- you are so wise! Why, I think I'll change my viewing habits b/c of your message!
How many pucks have you got hit in the head with, anyway?
Gee, Zap2it, if you're that shocked about it, why did you bother to do a story on it at all?
