Jake Pavelka: Ready to Settle Down!

It's official: ABC confirmed last night that Jake Pavelka is the new Bachelor.

In a subsequent interview with Extra, you'll never believe this, but Jake said he's ready to find a mate.

“I’m 31 and still single, so I’m doing something wrong out there," he said. “I am absolutely ready to settle down."

For at least a few weeks, with whichever woman he chooses, that is.

NEXT! It didn't work out with Jillian Harris, so Jake Pavelka is seeking love with a new set of strangers.
