For all intents and purposes, B.C.-based Bachelorette contestant Chris Hasek-Watt seems like a decent, athletic guy with a brain in his head and a big future.
He's destroyed all comers in Vancouver's Jericho Tennis Club 5.0 division, having won both the singles and double championships in 2008. He was once ranked equal-993rd in the world as a junior.
He received a Bachelor's Degree in commerce from the University of British Columbia in 2007, which helped him become an account manager at the Calgary-based Walton International Group, a global real-estate development company. On LinkedIn, he lists his interests as continuous learning, real-estate investments, competition, friendships, compassion, integrity, and willingness to succeed. He's a near-scratch golfer and plays basketball and hockey for fun.
Your grandmother would adore him. Your boss would hire him. Your guy friends would 'bromance' him. You'd probably buy an overpriced condo from him. He has it all.
So who can say why he'd dive headlong into the shadowy world of reality television, especially on a TV show like ABC's The Bachelorette, in which the point of the exercise is to compete with 24 strangers for the ring finger of a woman he hasn't yet met.
Perhaps some insight can be gained from his Twitter feed of last year, where he said, "There are two types of people in the world, Somebody’s and Nobody’s [sic]. Presently I’m a Nobody."
Well, that's about to change.
"Bring on those boys," says the object of his latest exercise, advertising account manager Ali Fedotowsky, 25. "I'm back - and I'm ready to find love!"
Though the line-up of bachelors hasn't yet been officially released, early promotional materials for the sixth season of the show has locals yapping that Hasek-Watt is one the 25 men involved. In fact, the Hasek-Watt chatter is so intense that a Facebook fanpage has popped up (http://bit.ly/bachy6) for those who adore the chisel-jawed overhead smash.
But it won't be a walk in the park for the west-coast mover-and-shaker, who will have to really break his back to beat the quality of some of the other competitors on the show, many of whom seem like they got lost on their way to auditions for Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader (the answer: hardly).
Take "Shooter," who says he gained his nickname after an unfortunate sexual incident in college. Then there's Justin ("Rated-R") Rego, a professional wrestler who really wears a leg cast with panache. And let's not forget Scott "The Mountain Man," who likes to kill and stuff animals of all varieties and says he's going to "bring someone home to take care" of him and his dog.
Frankly, if you don't get all teary-eyed when mixing romance and taxidermy, you're a cold-hearted cynic in need of a cuddle.
Previous seasons have boasted contestants as diverse as Mike the breakdance instructor, Mark the pizza entrepreneur, Luke the oyster farmer, and Sean the martial artist, so don't be surprised if Tyler the pirate, Juan the porn star and Hector the scrapbooker pad out the roster on season six.
For now at least, Hasek-Watt isn't talking about his Bachelorette experience. All previous posts on his Twitter account have been deleted.
I was finally able to find more information on Chris Hasek. Doesn't he just look amazing in a suit! He's my pick to win Ali's heart and I hope that he does not turn out to be another "Jake Pavelka" ahem I mean cry baby.
