"I knew that she -- just the way that it was going to be portrayed when she left -- that she was going to make a beautiful Bachelorette. And who am I to take the opportunity away from her, because I got to do it? I was such an incredible experience for me."

And about the gay rumors

"There was a lack of intimacy because our problems were so heavy, and I can't separate love and intimacy. I guess that's the Southern guy in me, and apparently that makes me gay!" he said.

"Right, because everybody thinks you're gay," Hasselbeck replied. "They think, okay, if he's not intimate unless cameras are rolling -- now there are papers everywhere saying you're gay."

That's not gay, that is a why do anything that isn't getting me camera time DAWishness.

Don't read the entire article unless you're on a diet.

If you are dieting, read it once a day immediately after waking up.

I don't think I can eat until Friday.
