Last night, on the Bachelorette tell-all special, Fabrice denied that he was gay. Shortly after someone obnoxiously asked if he looked at other men in the shower, Fabrice responded defensively, saying, "I'm not going to f**k a woman on stage to prove I'm not gay." And then, when Josh told Fabrice that he almost vomited watching him try to suck face with Jen, Fabrice responded with, "Try imagining my tongue down YOUR throat!'" No, he's not gay at all. not at all.
They announced that the next Bachelor (i think it's number 7) will be Charlie O'Connell.
I mistakely thought this was Trista's runner-up from the Bachelorette, but i was wrong. Charlie O'Connell is the less famous brother of Jerry O'Connell, who is currently dating Rebecca Romijn-Stamos (is she still going by Stamos these days?)
