Bachelor producer fired for sleeping with contestant

Call it an unfortunate coincidence or a bigger publicity stunt tragedy than unleashing a cage of rabid cougars in a mall to promote Cougar Town.

A producer for ABC's The Bachelor has been fired for giving one of the show's female contestants a rose of his own.

Chris Harrison, the show's host, confirmed the affair on a Los Angeles radio show and called it "incredibly unfortunate" and "embarrassing." That means ABC is going to hype the s#*& out of it in the new season. Sounds to me like the reality show producer did his job.
