Chicago represents on 'Gladiators,' 'Bachelorette'

Chicago folks have been reality TV darlings lately, and Monday night will be no different.
Three Windy City men will try to woo “The Bachelorette,” DeAnna Pappas, at 8 p.m. on ABC, just after two Chicago cops are pitted against each other at 7 p.m. on NBC’s “American Gladiators.”
All this comes just a week after Chicago’s own Randee Haynes (left) won the first semifinal spot in Season 2 of “Gladiators.” He didn’t face gladiator Rocket, a.k.a. former champ and Fox River Grove native Evan Dollard, but he easily won the Eliminator just as Dollard did last year.
“I’m ecstatic with my performance,” Haynes told host Hulk Hogan last week after finishing the new, tougher Eliminator in 2 minutes, 6 seconds.
On Monday, Chicago police partners David Moore and Melvin Davis face off against each other—and the gladiators—for another semifinal berth.
When the fourth installment of “The Bachelorette” debuts Monday, DeAnna Pappas will meet three guys who live in Chicago: Patrick C., 26, a financial analyst (from left); Fred, 30, a lawyer; and Patrick D., 27, an internet marketer.
They are among the 25 men who include a trio of professional athletes, a pair of teachers and a guy named Twilley.
Pappas, 26, was picked and then dumped last fall by “The Bachelor” Brad Womack, who opted not to even continue their relationship.
Huge viewer response led ABC to resurrect “The Bachelorette” for the first time since 2005—when, coincidentally, Chicagoan Jen Schefft opted to stay single rather than pick one of her two final guys.
