His attempt to apologize to Ms. Maynard was soundly rejected. He is currently appearing on the spin-off series, “Bachelor Pad 3”, and is reportedly already in the early stages of a romantic relationship with former “The Bachelor” contestant, Lindzi Cox, who he met while taping the show. He reportedly feels that he got a bum deal on “The Bachelorette”, but has said that “Bachelor Pad” was a much more positive experience, and that he feels like he made some great friends during taping.
