Will Jillian Harris reject Jake Pavelka be the next Bachelor?

Yes, according to a 25-year-old Tennessee woman who told local TV station WKRN she'd be one of the women vying for the final rose.

Brittney Gammel, a Learjet pilot, says the show's 14th season begins taping in November and premieres in January.

When asked by Usmagazine.com about Pavelka, ABC says: "We are not going to confirm who The Bachelor is or if this woman is even one of the bachelorettes. People need to tune into Dancing With the Stars on October 13 to find out the real identity of the next Bachelor."

Gammel says she probably won't find love with Pavelka, a fellow pilot originally from Dallas.

"We'd never see each other!" she says.

    I cannot believe that they would pick someone so boring boring boring... will be like watching paint dry. I usually do not miss an episode of the bachelor /bachelorette, but will definately not be watching a second of this one. Hope it is not true, would love to see Reid be the Bachelor...Cute,funny and really neat personality.

    You would think that the next Bachelor would have some personality. I am an avid Bachelor/Bachelorette fan but I will not waste my time watching this guy (Mr perfect) . Reid was definately the choice to keep the ratings up. You missed the boat abc

    Stupid move ABC. Jake may be a nice guy, but really what were you thinking. Boring, Boring,Boring.....It this is true I will not be watching. Reid!! Reid!! Reid!! Now him I would watch.

    To Kay, Jake was on the bachelorette to activate his acting career. He didn't want Jillian, he wanted to be the Bachelor all along,he thinks that's going to be his big break. He got very lucky that Reid turned the offer down and I'm sure Kiptyn did too. He should send those guys thank you cards. But, just wait and see who the real Jake is by the end of next season.

    I couldn't agree more with Jessy's comment!!!! Not into Jake and I def. think he'd be a VERY BORING bachelor. We'll see. October 02, 2009 - 10:10am jessy Says: I like Reid the best but I don't think he would suit being the next Bachelor. I think Kiptyn was the perfect guy for the job.... either way I'm watching the season but I feel like it will be pretty corny and boring if Jake really is the next Bachelor. Maybe ABC had someone "leak who the Bachelor was" to keep us on our toes but really the next Bachelor is Kiptyn and they'll announce it on Dancing with the Stars as planned. FINGERS CROSSED!

    NO! REID, REID, REID!!!!

    Finally, a good choice! It will be much more interesting to watch someone who seems to have some character make choices! I hope he finds a good match!

    "Stop recycling rejects please! Give us all something fresh to look at!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Couldn't have said it better myself. AMEN!!

    who even watches this crap? how many times are they going to have a bachelor and bachelorette???

  • October 02, 2009 - 8:08am Anonymous

    Jake is the best guy for the job!!

  • October 02, 2009 - 6:33am kay

    THIS IS GREAT!!!! Jake was the most kindest, sweetest, and an all around great gentleman (not to mention he is cute as hell)!!! Hopefully he will find someone worthy of him, not some fly-by-night who is just there to be on TV to futher her career, or to make some kind of a$$ of herself. Good luck Jake!...you deserve the best!!!

    YUCK! Kip or Reid would've been a much better choice. Jake is so fake.
