The Bachelor started off as a simple dating show but has now become one of the most scandal-ridden shows on TV. This season’s hunky bachelor, pilot Jake Pavelka, was passed over by one of the women for one the show’s producers. In an exclusive interview, host Chris Harrison told RadarOnline.com that all the juicy details will soon be revealed.
“I can tell you next week, all questions will be answered,” Harrison said with a sneaky smile.
According to Harrison, everyone on the show was affected by this season’s unprecedented side tryst.
“It was an incident that we’ve never had to deal with before. It was tough for everyone, the crew, the women and Jake. Hopefully we can quickly move past this and it won’t dominate the season. But definitely everyone will see what happens.”
Harrison was secretive about revealing the names of the lovers involved but he did say this: “An unfortunate decision was made by one of the girls and one of the crew members and the rest you’ll have to watch and see.”

When we asked if the Bachelor was “fake,” Harrison quipped: “The only fake thing on the show is me.”
Fans watched sexy Jake’s gentle, calm and loving demeanor in last season’s show but viewers will get to see an explosive reaction to this season’s wrongdoings.
“For the people who say, ‘Jake is to perfect’ you will see a different Jake throughout this entire season,” Harrison revealed.
