Note to everyone appearing on "The Bachelor" this season: Get your skin care regime in order, 'cause you'll be airing in HD come January.

ABC says the show will begin its 14th cycle on Monday, Jan. 4, with a two-hour premiere. This season will also be the first broadcast in high definition.

The new edition is subtitled "On the Wings of Love," which refers not to the Jeffrey Osborne song but to the fact that Bachelor Jake Pavelka -- who was rejected on "The Bachelorette" last season -- is a pilot.

The ABC press release about the show is a fun read, if you're into hyperbole, so we thought we'd share. Here's how the network is presenting Pavelka:

"Ever since Jake, 31, shared a magical one-on-one date with Bachelorette Jillian Harris to see Martina McBride, millions of women have had their 'Top Gun' fantasies about him. A fan favorite for his reputation as an honest guy with an open heart -- not to mention his good looks -- viewers were stunned when Jillian rejected Jake right before the hometown dates on last season's 'The Bachelorette.' But women were drawn to him even more when Jake returned of his own accord in the next episode to protect Jillian from men who were not there for the right reasons. Jake -- who already knew Jillian would not take him back -- freely shared and showed his emotions.

"Jake's fairytale-like experience falling for Jillian made him confident that he can find the love of his life on 'The Bachelor.' Now it's his time. Jake knows himself well enough to know that he's not made to live alone. He just needs to find the right woman -- his best friend and soulmate -- and that's whom he'll marry. Searching for a woman who is intelligent, confident, energetic and spontaneous, he admits that he can't wait for fatherhood."


So that's what ABC says. What about you? Will Jake make you tune in?

So I take it that this is what we will be hearing at the beginning of EVERY episode come January.  I really hope not...and I got to say what is up with the cheesy title?  It sounds super 80's to me.

Anyway it's almost time to watch freaky, backstabbing, catfighting women again...LOL!!!

"On The Wings of Love" is just horrible!   ROFL

But.... I can't wait to see Jake as the Bachelor.   You know that I have watched almost every single cycle of this show and I can't stop myself from watching some more.    ;-)

I also can't wait to see Jake as the Bachelor I just wished they could have went with something...oh less cheesy...LOL!!

Can you imagine Chris Harrison...On last weeks Bachelor "On the Wings of Love" DeAnna decided that she wanted a shot at Jake saying she wishes he would have been on her season instead of Jason and Jesse.  You remember DeAnna she was turned down by Brad and then had her own season of the Bachelorette picking snowboarder Jesse over single dad Jason.  DeAnna says her true wish was to marry a sensitive pilot who is ready to be a dad.

LOL...now if what I wrote above happens I'm going to laugh until I pee myself.  After writing that I started thinking it sounds exactly like a soap.  Instead of "On the Wings of Love"  why not choose "One life to live" or something like that.

Lisa - here is my problem

When you start a thread I can't read it.

If you respond - like now I can

I went to board settings and not only can't I find how to block anyone - I can't find you
