Although Jen Schefft, who in 2005 shot down two marriage-minded suitors as The Bachelorette, applauds Bachelor Brad Womack's decision not to propose to anyone in this season's finale, she's still steamed that he isn't taking as much heat for his non-choice as she did. Where, she asks on the Huffington Post, is the outrage and "negative press I personally received after announcing I didn’t want to be with any of the guys I met on the show? I haven’t seen much denouncing him as a jerk... or proclaiming he made the biggest mistake of his life and that he’d be single forever.” Um, remind me never to ask Schefft to come to my defense. — Ben Katner

Billy Dec, who has denied it, of course. Even if it's true, he wouldn't want to be the one to fess up and blow the show for Jen, right?
Intriguingly, tonight's two-hour finale features Jen receiving marriage proposals from both Jerry and John Paul. However, you'll have to watch a third hour

OK, so we've all seen those TV ads for The Bachelorette's season premiere, featuring one of Jen Schefft's admirers fainting during a rose ceremony. Who is that swooning suitor?
This week, Schefft wasn't allowed to name the man while doing a press conference call with journalists to promote the show; an ABC publicist hushed her up, so as not to "give too much away." Puh-leeze. It hardly took the sleuthing skills of Sydney Bristow to determine the dude's identity. This nosy TV Guide Online reporter simply videotaped the ad (while watching Alias, natch), hit the pause button to freeze-frame the fainter, and then compared his face to the suitor photos on ABC's website. Voila! He's unmistakably David, the 30-year-old marketing consultant from Chicago.
