Bachelor JAKE PAVELKA, 31, is out to prove that nice guys don't always finish last. The handsome commercial pilot from Dallas, Texas, begins his search for true love, choosing from 25 bachelorettes, in The Bachelor: On the Wings of Love.

Jake, who appeared on The Bachelorette with Jillian Harris, quickly became a fan favorite for his reputation as an honest guy with an open heart — not to mention his good looks. So viewers were stunned when Jillian rejected Jake, and stunned again when Jake returned of his own accord to warn Jillian of men who were not there for the right reasons. Millions watched as Jake freely shared his emotions, and the support came flooding in. Now it's his time, and Jake is ready to find the right woman — his best friend and soul mate — and that's who he'll marry. Hosted by CHRIS HARRISON, the series soars to new heights this season with drama and heartfelt emotion.

The 15 remaining bachelorettes move into their luxurious villa in Malibu. One lucky woman will get a fabulous one-on-one date — Jake will personally pilot the bachelorette to a romantic desert getaway in Palm Springs, where they will be serenaded by superstar rock group CHICAGO. There will also be two group dates, one which gives six women a chance to strut their stuff in a sexy photo shoot for InStyle magazine, and another in which five women are treated to a VIP visit to Six Flags Magic Mountain. However, some of the women will not have a date at all before the next rose ceremony, encouraging them to be aggressive and steal any time they can with the handsome pilot. But nothing can prepare Jake for the bombshell that is dropped and, for the first time in Bachelor history, having a rose won't be enough.

On the last individual date, Jake whisks another lucky woman away to Sea World in San Diego, where a huge surprise awaits. Finally, a rift forms in the house with all the women pitted against one bachelorette who claims to be there only to win Jake's heart, leading to an explosive rose ceremony.

I refuse to pay to watch my favorite show when it's a FREE local Network. This is absolutely ridiculous, how can you do this, take a free thing and charge out the yingyang for it. hope you fall short of making a killing for something that most can not afford. only giving a 1 star because you can not post without it.

too much back biting on the part of the contestants. kiss them and leave them. Who wants someone who just went to bed with someone else. every girl looks naked most of the time. I think it was a big deal to have a verging on the show. But I was saddened to see him fall off his pedestal for tv.

Here's a quick synopsis of Nick. This girl's awesome, it's so easy to do things with her my family loves her, she has so many great qualities, she's just what i need! And this other girl is really hard to deal with, and has a lot of issues, super insecure, lives in a completely different country, every time we hang out I'm arguing and never have true fun, it's basically conflict city and women I've chosen like her in the past has NEVER worked out and they even at least lived in the same country. I'm going to choose the one that has the most issues because the one I get along with, that my parents love, that I just have fun with all the time, that I could be myself, someone who'd have my back, be a strong support, can just relax and be a great wife, mom etc, I'm going to tell her all the wonderful things about her and then let her go because she just makes too much sense and who wants to do something that makes sense? Yup. That's basically the whole show. Waste. of. time. show. Never. Again. 😐
