'The Bachelorette' 2013 Desiree Hartsock's Ep. 6 Eliminated Suitor James Case in New Reality Show?
A friend addressed the rumor of whether or not Bachelorette fans can expect to see recently eliminated suitor James Case appear in another reality show following his exit from the ABC series.
Mike Fleiss, an executive television producer for Bachelor Pad, was asked if he would cast any reality stars from this season's Bachelorette in the upcoming season of Bachelor Pad. Fleiss told Entertainment Weekly's new SiriusXM radio channel 105 that Bachelor Pad will not return in August because there are not enough reality stars with strong personalities to cast this year.
"I really wanted to give it a break because I didn't feel we had enough superstars to populate the Pad," Fleiss explained to Entertainment Weekly. "I have a good feeling it will be back next summer."
Wetpaint asked a friend of Case's if the eliminated suitor would consider joining the next season of Bachelor Pad when it returns. The insider said he didn't think Case would join the show full of reality show villains. The friend said Case enjoys having a career in advertising for BankRate and being an entrepreneur who co-owns CMO at FluidLife in Chicago, Ill.
Case was eliminated in episode 6 of The Bachelorette, which aired on Monday, after his true intentions for appearing on season 9 of the show was revealed by the other suitors.
This season's star, Desiree Hartsock, learned from fellow suitor Kasey Stewart that Case stated said his goal was to become one of the last four contestants this year to increase his odds of becoming the next Bachelor. Stewart said Case also mentioned plans to use his celebrity status obtained from The Bachelorette to meet beautiful, rich women when he finishes taping the reality show.
When Hartsock learned the news from Stewart, she canceled the group date and instead met with Case in private. Case told the bridal stylist in her confrontation that an eliminated contestant from a previous episode made the comment and the rest of the suitors made up the story because they are threatened by him.
Hartsock eliminated Case during the final rose elimination ceremony on Monday. The Chicago native told the cameras in his last confessional that he didn't know why he was eliminated and felt bullied by the other suitors.
The next episode of The Bachelorette season 9 will air on Monday, July 8, at 8 p.m. EST/7 Central on ABC.
