Might Matt Neustadt and Brooke Ward truly be a match made in reality show heaven?

The Farmer Wants a Wife star and his chosen mate are still together, Brooke told The Orange Country Register, adding that she's on her way to Missouri to shack up with her man.

"I'm in the process of literally packing up my car," Brooke said. "I'm driving to Texas to my sister's wedding, and then I'm driving to Missouri to see my man."

Matt Neustadt and Brooke Ward are still going strong!

Brooke added that life hasn't been easy since the show stopped filming.

'"It's really crazy," Brooke said. "Right after it was filmed, Matt and I were both really confused about our intentions for being on the show, our intentions for each other, and even though you've got real feelings for each other, it was really hard to figure out.

"So we left a lot of things unsaid, and we both were kind of scared to admit we had real feelings for each other. And then when he came out here in April for some publicity, we kind of rekindled things. So now we're dating, and I'm going to move and see what happens."

Sounds oddly level-headed for a reality show contestant. We wonder if Deanna Pappas and her soon-to-be chosen soulmate will react the same way.

Craig Jackson, host of VH1's upcoming series I Love Money (aka The Greatest Reality Show of All-Time), considers himself more of a ringmaster than a leader.

"I'm the brown Jeff Probst," Jackson said to The New York Daily News. "But Jeff Probst, his job is easier than mine. The people on his show are normal, everyday Americans. On this show, we have VH1 reality celebs, so it was a little more involved, trying to get people to do what you wanted them to do. Like be there on time."

David Amerman (aka 12-pack) loves himself some money!

I Love Money premieres on July 6 and pits 17 all-star cast members from Flavor of Love, Rock of Love and I Love New York in a series of over-the-top challenges for the chance to win $250,000.

"Going into the show, I thought that I'm in the best shape, I'm the strongest. These challenges are a piece of cake and I'm going to win every one, but the way they are designed, there's a whole lot of factors that determine who can win it," said contestant David Amerman, pictured above, better known as 12-Pack from I Love New York. "It's not just based on physical strength but mental strength, too."

Clear your Sunday night calendars, people. This is gonna be awesome!

A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila spoiler alert!

While the show's season finale doesn't air until tomorrow night, sources have said that Kristy Morgan will defeat Bo Kunkle on the episode and be the next individual to be dumped by Tila Tequila within a week of the end of filming capture the heart of Tila Tequila.

Shockingly, Kristy Morgan was featured in the Playboy College Girls issue of December 2005, along with that publication's February 2006 edition that focused on Natural Beauties.

No wonder her and Tila are so right for one another.

Holly Madison has made no secret of the fact that she wants to marry Hugh Hefner.

The Playboy founder appears hesitant, however, and the following picture of Madison makes us wonder why (until we realized that Hefner can sleep with Holly, and any number of other large-breasted blondes, any time he wants)...

Holly Madison is one of three blonde, busty Girls Next Door.

DeAnna Pappas is down to the final three guys on The Bachelorette, but it has been a more interesting ride than we even expected.

Along the way, she's gotten rid of more than a few fan favorites, such as Twilley, Fred, Richard, Ryan, and most recently and shockingly, Graham.

Why were these men sent packing?

Maybe she only likes guys whose names start with J - Jessie, Jeremy and Jason. Or there could be a little bit more to it.

Only Jessie, Jason and Jeremy are still fighting for Deanna Pappas' heart.

This evening, we will find out first-hand from the ousted guys themselves, and they will also throw in some hot dating tips for y'all.

Tonight: It's The Bachelorette: The Men Tell All. Next week: The finale. Who will win DeAnna Pappas' heart now of the final three?

The new MTV reality TV show, Bromance is going to go for the laughs â€" but also true friendship, Brody Jenner's pal Frankie Delgado says.

"We just started production. We're trying to make it funny," said Frankie, who is also serving as co-producer of the upcoming series.

But don't think this Bromance is all fun and games.

"We are really invested in finding a guy friend for our entourage. We don't trust a lot of people, because people might want to be our friends simply due to who we are or who we're around, what clubs we can get into, and things like that. So maybe this way we can find a true friend," Frankie Delgado said.

While Frankie Delgado says there will be no hazing involved with potential Brody Jenner "bro-mantic" partners, he realizes that anything is possible.

"There's really no sense to what we're actually going to do yet," he says, but notes, "Brody's not gonna have a douche bag around us."

As David Cook gets ready to embark on the American Idols Live tour this summer, he isn't afraid of how time on the road will affect his relationship with Kimberly Caldwell

"I get to do what I love and love what I do, so no, it doesn't put a damper on anything," the American Idol champion told TV Guide. "Kim's great. She's got a little bit of insight on it which definitely helps."

Love connection alert! David Cook hearts Kimberly Caldwell.

Cook wasn't done gushing about Caldwell:

"We seem to compliment each other really well. She's very supportive, and not only with me but with my entire family, which is huge. She's great."

Talk about a sheer genius idea of cross promotion!

The Real Housewives of Orange County will appear Wednesday on Shear Genius.

In the episode, the housewives and their daughters will be clients in an elimination challenge. Vicki Gunvalson, Jeana Keough, Lauri Waring, Tammy Knickerbocker, Tamra Barney and former housewife Kimberly Bryant are reported to be participants.

"Some of the girls liked their hair, and the other girls were in tears," said Keough. "They had to go get their hair fixed (afterward). I wanted to be on the show for fun. But it was a major cut job for me. I had to go get extensions (afterward)."

Oh, the horror!

We know Audrina Patridge is dating Tal Cooperman and David Cook has a thing for fellow American Idol contestant Kimberly Caldwell... but we think they would make a very attractive couple. Don't you agree?

Either way, they were hanging out together this week. The reigning American Idol winner and The Hills star (and LC sidekick) met up at a bash honoring a Glamour magazine editor in Los Angeles on Wednesday night ...

Making up what would be a cute couple (Auvid?) and representing two of the top reality shows (American Idol, The Hills): David Cook and Audrina Patridge.
