Voted next best bachelor couple!!!
Michelle and Wes, please hook up!


Wes Hayden, The Bachelorette’s “baddest boy of them all,” just wrapped up a guys’ weekend in Austin with some other former contestants from the show.
“Tanner [Pope,] who lives in Dallas, drove up while Mike [Stagliano] and David [Good] and the rest of the guys flew in to have a good time and see me,” Hayden tells PEOPLE. “I loved hanging out with the guys. We had a great time.”

As promised, the ‘Men Tell All’ special was explosive (and not just because the flatulence in the blooper reel). But even with an expanded two-hour show, plenty of action was trimmed from the episode. PEOPLE attended the July 11 taping to bring you the best of the rest and catch up with the season’s favorite suitors.

He was accused of having a girlfriend and of appearing on "The Bachelorette" to further his singing career and not to fall in love with Jillian Harris -- but Wes Hayden says he's not the villain portrayed on the reality TV show.
"People are saying things and they don't even know me," Hayden tells the New York Daily News. He adds, "It's hurtful that they have a perception that isn't true. They edited and clipped me. They were basically creating a character from the beginning," says the Houston native.
Wes confesses, "I didn't have a girlfriend when I went on, I don't have one now." He does admit his manager suggested being on "The Bachelorette" would be good for his career as a country musician, but his sister was the one who applied for him to be on the show.

Three hot dates in Maui got even steamier on Monday night's episode as Bachelorette Jillian Harris invited each man back to her "fantasy suite" for a night of passion.
Things were starting to look X-rated as the Vancouver singleton started dousing Ed with body oil.
"I am absolutely falling in love with you... and I've never felt this way," confessed the 29-year-old technology consultant, as a doe-eyed Jillian met his gaze.
But things didn't exactly go to plan. Jillian emerged from the bathroom dressed in a sheer nightie, the couple kisses... and then, the camera cuts to the Ed relaxing on a pillow, ready for sleep.
Are the couple lacking passion? Or did Ed have a case of stage fright? Jillian was conflicted after the date, but a video message from Ed, in which he dropped the "love" bomb, made her decide to give him another chance.
It was Reid, the lovable Chandler Bing-like character, who was sent home after the rose ceremony. Despite spending a smooch-filled date with the 30-year-old realtor — kissing during a helicopter ride, kissing during a picnic, and later kissing in the fantasy suite — Reid admittedly had a hard time speaking about his true feelings. "I wish I could have opened up to her the way I should have," he said after the elimination. "It's definitely a tough moment; a surprising moment... I can definitely say I was falling in love with her." Kiptyn, the 31-year-old business developer, is still in the running for Jillian's heart. On their date, the couple took part in a beach-side rope course designed to build trust.

On Monday's "The Bachelorette" Jillian Harris sent Wes home after traveling to Spain with the four men competing for her attention and possibly her hand in marriage. Wes, a 32-year-old musician from Texas, had been accused of having a girlfriend back home and being on the show only to promote his music career.
"The first guy ever on 'The Bachelorette' to make it to the top four with a girlfriend," Wes congratulated himself in the limo ride away from Jillian. "My acting days are over. I've definitely gone as far as I could possibly have gone with Jillian."
A glass of beer in his hand, Wes was looking forward to his night, "Tonight I'm in Spain... I'm cutting off the chains...I'm a free man," Wes said. "I'm in Spain everybody's gonna know my name."
Before the rose ceremony, Wes had a message for the other guys. "If it's me, you boys know, I will be back home having lots of sex," Wes said.
"When I walked Wes down the stairs I knew I had made the right decision," Jillian said. "The bad boy is definitely gone."
Not gone are the final three men: Reid, a 30-year-old real estate agent from Philadelphia; Kiptyn, a 31-year-old California business developer and Ed, a 29-year-old technology consultant from Chicago.
Here's a recap of the show:
Wes was Jillian's final date on Monday's show. On a bike ride in Barcelona, Wes told Jillian he could see himself living in Spain. But later Wes seemed reluctant to consider living anywhere but Austin, Texas. Things got especially awkward when Jillian wanted details on what life with Wes would be like. Instead of setting up the scenario, Wes spilled a beer and was distracted by birds. "I definitely didn't feel romance," Jillian said. "I'm a little bit worried about Wes' lack of affection."

Cleanup in Aisle Creep! The Bachelorette's current final-four contender Wes -- you know, the guy who during his confessionals has waxed poetic about how performing music in front of an audience is more of a turn-on than any woman or drug could ever be -- was apparently "truth"-telling when he insisted he did not have a girlfriend named Laurel while being meekly grilled by Jillian during last Monday's episode. Laurel (last name Kagay) tells People.com that she dated Wes for three years, until she caught him writing a steamy love letter to a major record label their relationship turned to friendship a year ago. For the record, Laurel has also dated Brad Womack (star of The Bachelor's 11th season) as well as Collin Evans, a contestant during The Bachelorette’s third season with Jen Schefft, notes People. (Not that I'm implying a fameosexual trend here or anything.)
See the rest of the story here.
When Jillian had confronted Wes on the concerned matter, he had initially persisted on wanting to know who had told her of the matter. On finding out that the source of the news was Jake, Wes denied the allegation completely. So Jillian did what she could best do to get to the bottom of things; she called in Jake in a face to face confrontation with Wes. The two guys went on with their blame game for sometime before Jillian reached her decision of what to believe and what not to believe. She then bid Jake goodbye, for which he again proceeded to cry his heart out on the railing.
When we got down to thinking that the ‘little secret’ Jake has revealed will spell doom for Wes and get him kicked out, he bounces back in to Jillian’s good books, displaying oodles of the Texan charms that he has. He swears that Laura is the name of a former girlfriend of his and they are no more in a romantic relation but are casual friends. Well, his convincing powers must be a whole lot stronger than the truth (which we don’t know) because he still remains in the line of Jillian’s suitors.

Last night's installment of The Bachelorette was less notable for any events that took place than for what it teased regarding future episodes in the last three minutes.
We're coming down the home stretch of Jillian Harris' quest for love, as she cut the field from eight to five suitors, all of whom will go on "hometown" dates with her.
Of the three guys who were sent packing on Monday's episode (the sixth of the season), unemployed bartender Robby and foot fetishist Tanner Pope were obvious.
Her cutting Jake Pavelka, however, was a bit of a surprise.
Most of the episode (if not the season) was based around Jake being Mr. Perfect. He is hot. He is a pilot, which is awesome. He is super nice, fun and charming.
Jillian Harris acknowledged all of these things. Yet he goes.
This made little sense until the three-minute preview for the rest of the season aired: Jake Pavelka comes back to the show to tell Jillian about Wes' intentions!
This future development also casts a different light on Wes Hayden, who spent most of last night's show admitting, even bragging about his ulterior motives.
Jake has been dying to call out Wes. He will soon get the chance.
That he has an agenda is not shocking, but no one coming on The Bachelorette merely to promote his music would be so blatant as to say he is "not here for the girl" and that he can "feel" and "taste" the record sales he will generate from this.
Unless, of course, it is all a contrived sham. As is Jake being kicked off only to come back and stir up drama by calling out Wes and his alleged girlfriend.
It seems to The Hollywood Gossip that Jake's elimination was scripted from the start, just like Ed's departure last week because of "work" commitments.
Are Jake and Ed still in the running for Jillian? Were their reasons for departing legitimate, and only their returns staged? Or has this been the plan all along?
That we can't say, but spoilers will surely emerge. We'll be seeing both Jake and Ed in the coming weeks in some form though, you can mark our words.
Because as Jason Mesnick, Melissa Rycroft and Molly Malaney proved to record ratings, what's "reality" TV without a compelling, manipulated story to tell?

Country singer Wes Hayden, the Bachelorette contestant the other guys love to hate, apparently shows his true colors very soon.
In the clip released by ABC below, Wes comes in to cuddle with Jillian Harris, comforting her after she sends Robby home. (Guess that was no big surprise, but a surprising choice by ABC to let viewers know a week early.) While he whispers sweet nothings to Jillian, he tells the camera another.
"Right now at this stage of the game, if there's anybody here for a hidden agenda, it'd probably be me," Wes says. "Because I've been working on an album for over a year. There's no doubt this is going to help me. Do you think people are overnight successes? They're not."
When Jillian confides to Wes that she thought it would be different and that there'd be more jerks, he laughs and says, "I don't know. You may want to stick around a little longer. There's a few." Perhaps he speaks of himself. He then stakes his claim and tells Jillian, "I just want more time with you."
"The publicity that I'll get from this, it's almost like I taste it, and I eat it, and it comes inside of me, and it becomes a part of me," says Wes. "I'm gettin' excited. This is fun. I've got records to sell...I'll always have Jillian wrapped around my little finger, y'all. Believe it."
