Rumors have been circulating lately that J.T. Torregiani, 33, a nightclub owner and partner in The Dolce Group along with Mike “Boogie” Malin (from Big Brother 2 and Big Brother All Stars) may well be our next Bachelor. Torregiani, who recently split from Paula Abdul, was evidently approached by producers a few years ago, but turned the opportunity down due to his relationship with Abdul. Now single, there’s speculation that Torregiani just may take the producers up on their offer.

If so, this would be somewhat surprising given the huge fan demand for one of D’Anna’s cast-offs — Jason, Jeremy, or even possibly Fred — to be the latest man to play VD-roulette in the Fantasy Suite.

So what do you think? Is Torregiani going to be the newest Bachelor? After dating Abdul, we all know he’s crazy enough to handle it. Do you want him to be, or would you choose someone else? Who?

And in other Bachelor-related news, Matt Grant and Shayne Lamas announced their split to People today, mere weeks after snuggling awkwardly and insisting they’re still madly in love during D’Anna’s After the Final Rose special. Guess that was some monkey love that wasn’t meant to be.
