Well I thank God that when I was a single mother and had drama with my childrens Father for YEARS that it didnt raise "red flags" for my new husband. I sure would hate if someone judged me or my children like that because I couldnt control the drama on his end whether I liked it or not. And eight years later and still some drama on my end, I am happily married and my children have gained a wonderful, caring step father who treats my children as if they were his own. Never did he feel it was a "red flag" But of course had anyone not accepted my children, I wouldnt have dated them. Now that would be a selfish parent

I was just referring to single parents who are joining the show, and leaving their children for weeks on end to their parents' care or irresponsible exes. I know its a fact of life, but Reality TV is not real life. How can you concentrate on the woman who is dating several people already and thinking about if your kids are being taken care of etc. Its a red flag, if they have kids and is joining the show. In my humble opinion. Also, if it worked out you are gonna uproot your children to where the lead lives. Jason really really really lucked out with Molly, in my opinion. But the hate coming from media and fans probably bonded them together and made them determined to work it out. But I maintained that if you have kids and ex drama stay away from reality tv. That's not fair for everyone, specially for us audience.


Going back to Mike Garofola. Anyone in F5 will be considered for The Bachelor. I think he has a good chance as the next guy. Provided ofcourse if the producers and fans like him. But I personally would prefer (among the known candidates) Brooks or Chris.

I prefer them too!!

I wonder just because I have the feeling MF is sort of breaking the predictable routine of the show lately, and going on a sort of rebel format, confusing everybody...

(I know, it is also all about the editing and people's choice...)

Bachelor Bio

What do you hope to get out of participating in this television show?
I hope to find the woman I am going to marry and have a blast doing it while friends watch it unfold on television.

If you were stranded on a desert island, what 3 things would you bring and why?
1. Insulin - to survive
2. Food/water - see #1
3. Fully charged cell phone - To ask for transportation off said island

Describe your best friend of the opposite sex and why she deserves that title.
Ashley - She has always been there for me during my worst times, is very perceptive and very feisty. She sugar coats nothing, which is good because I can't have sugar.

Where do you see yourself in five years?
I will be married with two children and another on the way, in an amazing home, and at another stage of my professional career.

If you wanted to approach a woman you had never met before, how would you go about it?
I just go up to her and introduce myself. Nothing to it. No gimmicks.

What's your biggest date fear?
I don't have any "fears" when I go on a date.
