Wes Hayden wishes his former Bachelorette costar Jake Pavelka the best of luck in his quest to find love as the new Bachelor.
"I hope he finds somebody and gets married because that show is full of s--t," he told Usmagazine.com Tuesday at the Fox Reality Channel's Reality Awards in L.A. "One marriage in 18 seasons? I mean, come on!"
Hayden said it's "absolutely impossible to find love" on the ABC show.
"Call me old fashioned and say that my moral compass is off, but is it OK for one woman to make out with 30 guys and in eight weeks dwindle it down to someone she is going to spend the rest of her life with?" he said.

"Look, love is a decision. You decide to love somebody, and it doesn’t happen overnight and that's what they are trying to do," he added. "That's why there has never been a marriage except for Ryan and Trista, and I heard they were already a couple before the show started. That's what I heard from the past contestants when I was off the show."

Hayden, who was accused of having a girlfriend on last season's Bachelorette, said he was upset with the way he was portrayed on the show.
"I saw one episode, and it was the very first one, and I was so upset that I didn't watch any other episodes," he said. "I mean, look at me! I'm sleeved out with tattoos! I've got the spiky hair!"
He said he didn't even want to do the show in the first place.
"In all honesty, my 17-year-old sister signed me up for the show, and I did it for her basically," he said. "I fell into something bigger than me that I didn't know anything about. I'll tell you one thing, I have people looking at me for other TV shows, and I know exactly what to do and what not to do the second time around."

"I love Jillian and I talk to her all the time on Facebook still," Hayden said. "If she gets married and has lots of babies and lives the American Dream, great. But honestly, I don't think that is going to happen."
Tell Us What You Think
15Wes, I like you and all but cmon... spreading rumors about Ryan and Trista like that is unfair and a low blow.
If Wes is still talking to Jillian on Facebook, then why is she so PO'd that Ed had texted his Ex's? How do we know that he didn't really hook up with Jill and then those Fantasy dates, like she didn't test drive the last three guys even if Ed wasn't up to the task? Did anyone ask Ed how he felt about that one?
Finally. Someone says something that makes sense.
I've never watched an episode and I have to agree with him... 18 seasons of bachelor and bachelorette and only ONE couple actually got married. All reality shows are a joke
Keep talking Wes. You just keep proving what the viewers already knew.
Wes has just stated what every single person in the universe already knows (assuming they can do basic math) Why are so many people dissing him? So he's a douche who just did it for the fame and $$, but he's still right. The last time I watched an episode of the show was like 5 or 6 years ago. I can't believe it's still going. What a joke.
bitter, party of one...
well he is right that someone knew each other that was jason and molly actually...they started dating just before the filming started
wes is not truthful at all and not worth listening to about anything ever. not trustworthy.
Jillian's season had the biggest cast of knuckleheads and whiners I've ever seen ... and I'm not talking about Jake crying. They acted like catty school girls at the Men Tell All. Wes and Dave top the charts as the most asinine men ever to grace the show.
Trista and Ryan did not know each other. Wes is talking out of his bee-hind!
I couldn't agree more. Somebody needed to say it.
This is the first time I've ever heard that Trista and Ryan were a couple before the show. Is this true? Who has verified this?
wow-now it's not okay to make out with 30 people,but when YOUR one of those 30 people-you don't blink an eye. clearly, he's still bitter.
someone's bitter. ouch.
