Reality Shows Hit Home

By: Mary Pierce

With only three weeks left on ABC’s hit show “The Bachelor“, Ali Fedotowsky from Williamstown, MA dramatically dropped out one week ago, to follow her career that was in jeopardy. But Monday night, the Massachusetts native surprised the Bachelor, Jake Pavelka with a phone call asking for a second shot at love, regretting her decision to leave. “I thought my love for my career could get me through life. And what I have realized since I’ve been back is that my life is without love.”

Unfortunately, the chemistry she thought they shared was only thin deep as Jake denies her request. Viewers were surprised by Pavelka’s decision considering that less than a week ago, he was crushed when she left. As Fedotowsky sat silently on the other line, Jake hung up and moved on to the rose ceremony. Not surprising however, the Bachelor’s next move sent the swimsuit model Gia packing. Two weeks remain until the final rose ceremony, when Jake will have to choose between Vienna, shockingly a finalist and Tenley. Jake confesses that he is in love with both of them but in different ways. We not only wonder who Jake will take home, but if the Massachusetts native Ali Fedotowsky will be the next Bachelorette?

As Fedotowsky tries to survive her broken heart, four more New Englanders will try to survive the 20th season of “Survivor: Heros vs. Villians,” which premiered February 11th.  Ironically, all four represent the “Villain Tribe,” including Richard Hatch, the first winner of Survivor, who lives in Rhode Island.  But Hatch was denied leaving the country by a federal judge in Rhode Island due to the fact that he is under house arrest! Not only will returning winner of season 7, Sandra Diaz Twine of Stamford, CT be part of the cast of Villains but so will Danielle Di Lorenzo from Lynnfield, Mass, Courtney Yates from Boston, and the most recognizable local reality personality “Boston Rob“, who claims he is a lot wiser and maturer now that he is married and has a child. We will just have to wait and watch his new strategy unfold!
