Is there a gay ringer on The Bachelorette? Entertainment blog http://washingtonsocialites.com has outed contestant Fabrice.

The hottie is listed on ABC's website as a real estate investor but the blog claims he is actually Fabrice Le Parc, an actor/model from New York City.

Originally from France, Le Parc, according to the blog has acted in several productions. In 2003, he starred in the comedy "4 Secondes de Chute Libre" at the Theatre de l'Opprime in Paris. That same year, he was also cast in Operation Seduction II, a French TV show. Le Parc has also appeared in a few advertisements, including one for Philips.

No comment from either Fabrice or ABC.

This might just be me, but I think the bachelors this season are less attractive than in Trista's or Meredeth's seasons.

Speaking of Meredith, I heard this morning on the radio she & Ian have announced their breakup.

BIG surprise! I'm sad that Jen let Ben go. I can't believe she is really that interested in Wendell!

I haven't seen the last couple episodes, but Wendell and John Paul? EW.

Actually I was in Vegas this weekend and saw John Paul and he was very sexy in person...oddly enough I don't find him attractive at all on the show. I'll have to agree with you on the Wendell opinion though, I feel like she just likes him because he talks so damn much!

Poor Ben was the ONLY guy still there who didn't have an alone date with Jen. That is a big disadvantage --- I think ABC needs to rethink how they structure how the potential suitors get one-on-one dates since so many of them never spend more than a few minutes with the Bachelor(ette). The competitions -- basketball games, races, letter writing and friends picking their favorites --- are all interesting and make for some interesting TV... but it shows in the track record of these relationships post-show that they need more time (on camera of course! this is still reality tv) to get to know each other better to see if they are really compatible and to prevent the Bachelor(ette) from letting people go early because they only talked with them for a few minutes.

meet the parents
 

What did everyone think of the meet the parents episode tonight where Jen visited the 4 guys' hometowns?
I didn't want to post what happened yet in case some people tape it, but WOW some interesting hometown dates!

I normally can't stand John Paul but I thought he was kinda appealing last night. I liked his family and his house. I can't imagine being that established at 25 (my age now)!! Ryan is getting boring. I think she'll drop him next week. How mean was she to diss his mom on national TV? Wendall's mom was dead on about Jen not being into him. He was too nice for her.

Exactly what I was thinking --- his family is watching that episode thinking, "oh my god! she totally made fun of us!" --- not a comfortable situation if she picks him at the end and goes home to meet them again... unless she takes care of rectifying that right away by graciously explaining herself.

The show seriously sucks this year. I haven't been watching regularly, but last night I kept wondering what exactly is so interesting about any of these people that we want to watch their boring ass dates.

First of all, she only likes John Paul Ringo for his money and because his mom is a gracefully aging Trixie. Dude lives in Oklahoma -- WTF? Also, sure Ryan's parents talked about Thailand a lot, but WTF? She was the biggest brat at that dinner -- OMG STOP TALKING ABOUT THAILAND TALK ABOUT MEEEEEEE I'M SO AWESOME MEEEEE IT'S ALL ABOUT MEEEEEE! I was relieved that for once they weren't all talking about her and whether they're all In This For The Right Reasons, which frankly is boring as hell.

She should be able to keep Wendell as the gay best friend. He'd be a perfect gay best friend. Of the dudes left, Jerry is the only one who is remotely attractive.

i'd gladly consol Ryan. It would be nice to have a good communicator for once!

Which guy do you guys think will be the next bachelor?

Looks like we might find out the truth about Fabrice next week...

I loved the Ryan Brush-Strips product placement...that was shameless! Oh and the pink strapless dress + black bra combo really wasnt working for me...

Jerry seems shaddy...dont know about him.

I thought her dress/bra looked awful! They kept showing the back of it when she was sitting down having one on one time w/each of the men. I thought it was hideous and unflattering.
