Report: Ben Flajnik is the New 'Bachelor'

0824_flajnik_single Ladies, we have a new "Bachelor."

Ben Flajnik, the 28-year-old winemaker whose proposal was rejected by "Bachelorette" Ashley Hebert, will be handing out his own roses in the upcoming season of "The Bachelor."

Sources close to the production confirmed the news to TooFab.

Taping reportedly will begin next month. Ben had planned to spend September promoting the release of his company's new pinot and chardonnay. No word on whether those releases have been put on hold.

Is Ben your pick for the new "Bachelor"? Would you have preferred another former contestant? Tell TooFab in the comments below!

Can't they pick someone new??? Ashley's season was a snoozefest...I'd have to imagine this guy's season will be too.

I think Ryan is an amazing man. Who get's tired o*****uy who has a business, feet on the ground and is pleasant and not all tattooed all over. Just a sweet spirit wanting to find his love.

You guys messed up bigtime!!!!!!!!!

I agree....Ben is boring...Ryan is hot and
he is ethusiastic, and I think this will just
be too much for mild-mannered-Ben....
Also..Ashleys season was just plain STUPID.
And I think it is time to get RID of Chris
Harrison...he is getting on my nerves. Bring
in someone new and younger...He is dulls-ville!
Same old same old...every season....

I have watched every one of the bachelor and bachelorettes shows. There is no real love going on especially in 6 weeks. This is the main reason they do not stay together. It's all for show and to have there 15 minutes of fame. I have been married for almost 13 years and dated my husband (not on tv) for 6 weeks got engaged and married 5 months later. Happier now than the day i met him. It seems like all they do on the show is drink wine so this will be right up his alley. Good luck to Ben and however he picks.

I'm always surprised to see who the new Bachelor will be, because the show likes to put people on who aren't exactly pretty in the face. I mean Bob Guiney and this guy have to be two of the ugliest guys I've seen on TV.
