'Bachelor's' Rycroft going 'Dancing'?

425.mesnick.malaney.thebachelor.030209.jpgI know the first thing I would do after getting dumped on national TV is call the girls and go out for drinks and dancing. Dallas' Melissa Rycroft is reportedly doing just that by joining Dancing With the Stars in the wake of the show's injury problems.

Rycroft, now doing the talk-show circuit after being dumped by Jason Mesnick just last week, will be taking over the spot of Nancy O'Dell, who's on the injured list with a torn meniscus (that's knee cartilage for you lucky so-and-so's who've never become BFFs with the X-Ray tech or with your physical therapy nurse). At least that's what E Online is saying.

I guess it's the least ABC could do after airing the cringe-inducing embarrassment that The Bachelor turned out to be. It's easier - and more sanitary - than a pound of flesh.

We'll know for sure tonight when the replacements are announced during the two-hour season premiere of DWTS.

I THOUGHT IT WAS A FANTASTIC DECISION TO MAKE MELISSA A PART OF DANCING WITH THE STARS! I THINK THAT SHE'LL BE GREAT. IT'S ALOT BETTER THAN HER LAST PARTNER! HE'LL BE SEEING "STARS"
EVENTUALLY!! LOL


There's a list online somewhere that shows that these Bachelor and Bachelorette relationships never last, not even to the wedding stage. Trista and Ryan are the only exception.

Some of the Bachelor/ettes try again, which seems really strange to me. Lorenzo Borghese, the "prince" from Season 9 is now producing his own show with the same set-up. He's only starting with 10 women instead of 25. The show is only on the web, in August, and it's called America's Next Princess.

If I root for the guy, there might be more shows like this, and we DON'T want that.
