The Bachelorette: Producers went too far, says Wes
Wes Hayden's quest for Jillian Harris's affections on 'reality' show The Bachelorette ended badly. Let that be a lesson.
For anyone who might have entertained the notion — however fleetingly — of applying to be on a reality show, let Bachelorette contestant Wes Hayden's experiences serve as a cautionary tale. Hayden, a Texan country singer who exited the show last week after being portrayed as an opportunist with a girlfriend (and all-around jerk) in the quest for Jillian Harris's affections on ABC's The Bachelorette 5, has broken the first covenant of reality television: Never talk about what actually happened.
Hayden, who gave several interviews last week in an effort to repair his tarnished reputation, says that at a certain point he "actually stopped watching the show because it makes me sick." I'm guessing ABC's producers are feeling sick right about now. Hayden has become the proverbial horse that's escaped his stall and won't be corralled, no matter how binding his contract.
The most revealing interview was with "Reality Steve," whose blog (realitysteve.com) is partly devoted to exposing the off-camera machinery of ABC's successful Bachelor/Bachelorette franchise. Over the course of 85 minutes, Hayden addresses everything fans of the show might ever have wanted to know..Visit here to read more on Jillian and Wes.
