Bio
Jake Pavelka was a contestant on The Bachelorette's fifth season, pining for the love of Jillian Harris. He is also known as Jake Landrum, from when he did some acting earlier in life. He is 31 years old, from Dallas, Texas, and flies commercial jets.
Jake made it fairly far on the show, but made big headlines for a different reason: he came back, even after getting voted out, and told Jillian that contestant Wes Hayden had a girlfriend and was a big, fat liar.
This made Jake a hero in some people's eyes and a traitor in the eyes of others. Where do you stand on Pavelka? You might have more chances to get to know him better.
In the fall of 2009, fans of this stud muffin received great news: he's the new Bachelor!
