Ryan Park might've annoyed his fellow contestants on The Bachelorette, but another Bachelor alum thinks he deserves another shot at love!

Bachelor Pad 2's Jake Pavelka told Us Weekly Sunday at Rolling Stone's TCA Afterparty in Hollywood that Park, a 31-year-old solar energy executive, should be the next Bachelor

VIDEO: Ryan learns he's the most hated guy in the house

"I think he'd be pretty good at meeting the audience," Pavelka, 33, said. "He wears his heart on his sleeve."

According to an Us Poll of over 13,000 people, only 20 percent of voters wanted Park to be the next Bachelor. Ames Brown, a 31-year-old portfolio manager, earned 27 percent of the votes, while Ashley Hebert's runner-up guy, Ben Flajnik, garnered 53 percent of the vote.

VIDEO: Watch Ben propose to Ashley

Park told reporters last month he was no longer "in love with Ashley," but admitted he continued to run through plenty of "what if" scenarios in his head.

"Being the Bachelorette is hard!" he attested.

So would Park take a shot at being ABC's new Bachelor? "Maybe!" he said.

    You know, they used to actually use people that nobody knew as the Bachelor or Bachelorette. I for one am tired of them recycling the rejects from the Bachelor or Bachelorette that didn't want them. What is the point of them advertising during the commercials "do you or someone you know want to be the next blah blah blah call this number blah blah blah" if they are just going to recycle someone? All you will end up being (if "lucky" enough to be chosen) is a contestant and not the actual Bachelor/Bachelorette. Side note: is Ryan Park the one who could not for the life of him stop smiling?? Seems like he is...but I can't remember for sure.

    Geez, I sure hope it's anyone BUT Ryan! Why pick a guy no one could stand to be around--if all the other guys found him annoying, then obviously there's something "off" about him. Ben, or Ames, or anyone besides Ryan.

    No rejects-just bring in a newbie.

He is eight years older than me, lol. We met online at agelesscupid.c om a nice and free place for younger women and older men, or older women and younger men, to interact with each other. Maybe you wanna check it out or tell your friends.

    Please, no more of these stupid, worthless shows!

    Ben should be the next Bachelor. He's hot - and he got his heart kicked to next Christmas and back. Ashley shouldn't have let him propose if she already knew she wanted J.P. I had very little sympathy for her when I saw her whining, "I can't do this anymore!" So let Ben have a shot.

    I dont, I think they should do like they used to, pick an unknown.
