This season's The Bachelor more scandalous than ever!

Couldn't believe our story on how this season's The Bachelor star Jake Pavelka promises that he'll be in the mile high club? We link to that story below, but now you've got to check out this one. The Bachelor starring Jake premiered Monday night, and on Monday afternoon host Chris Harrison confirmed that a producer and a contestant had a relationship while the show was taping!

"It was incredibly unfortunate," longtime host Chris Harrison said of the workplace tryst. "Horrible decisions were made. It was embarrassing for us ... I felt bad for everybody."

Apparently there were "repercussions" involved, and show execs felt it was important to "nip [the situation] in the bud" for Jake and for the other women, Harrison said. What did they do? They kicked the bachelorette and the producer off the show.

And you'll get to see it happen this season, as the whole thing is addressed and aired in an episode. Meanwhile as we promised, the link to how Jake's got his eye on the mile-high...is this really the Jake Pavelka we know?
