After her elimination, Rose headed to the second season of Bachelor in Paradise's predecessor, Bachelor Pad, appearing alongside Bachelor Nation stars like Jake Pavelka, Michelle Money, Vienna Girardi and the late Gia Allemand.

Bachelor alum Sean Lowe is breaking his silence on Lex McAllister's apparent suicide in a lengthy, heartfelt post on his blog. "I haven't mentioned her death, because—honestly—what is there to say?

"Some of you may remember Gia Allemand (from the same season) hanged herself in 2013. In 2010, Julien Hug, a Bachelorette contestant from the Jillian Harris season, shot himself in the head.

It was nearly one year ago when GossipCenter reported on the tragic death of "The Bachelor's" Gia Allemand's death. Despite plenty of negative press regarding her mental state, the late star's suicide brings awareness to the pertinent issue and how to prevent it.
Gia suffered from a disorder called Pmdd (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder), which the Mayo Clinic defines as “a severe, sometimes disabling extension of premenstrual syndrome (Pms) that causes extreme mood shifts that can disrupt work and damage relationships.”
Her disorder brought plenty of trauma throughout her life and there were previous signs of life-threatening distress years before her death. In 2010, Gia was hospitalized for attempting suicide. Gia’s mother, Donna Coltrinari-Micheletti said, “I knew Gia was crying out for help. She didn’t want to die, she just wanted the pain to go away”.

In case the two-hour premiere of "The Bachelor" airing Monday, "Juan-uary" 6 is not enough for you, Sunday (Jan. 5) ABC brings fans a special preview episode, which host Chris Harrison informs us is "affectionately" subtitled "Countdown to Juan Pablo." Speak for yourself, C-dawg.
The Casting Process
The montage of casting footage is kind of hilarious -- sticking your whole fist in your mouth or playing "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" on the trumpet is sure to get you picked. It's interesting that they do highlight both Sharleen (the opera singer) and Nikki (a blonde nurse), who are our two early favorites.
Gotta love the girl who really wants "charismatic" guys. As opposed to all of us other women who like boring dudes.
Harrison then informs us that this year, the show is pulling a "Big Brother" and surprising the lucky bachelorettes with a rose to tell them they're on the show.
