The Bachelor's Chris Harrison: I Never Would've Predicted This Negative Reaction to Ben

The Bachelor, Ben and Courtney Chris Harrison is well aware that the majority of Bachelor viewers are outraged at both Ben Flajnik and front-runner Courtney. "You never know how America is going to react, and even during filming, I wouldn't have predicted they'd feel this way," Harrison tells TVGuide.com. "People say, 'Why haven't you warned him about her?' But he hears what she's saying and plenty of the women tried to caution him." Harrison: Ben and Jamie's Kiss Was One of the Most Horrifying Moments in Bachelor History While much of the hate this season has been focused on Courtney, a model from Arizona, viewers are increasingly frustrated watching Ben melt in front of her while eliminating contestants such as Emily. Harrison says he was shocked by the epidemiologist's exit this week, but attributes it to two factors. "He was starting to see Emily as more of a sister," Harrison says. "She's perfect on paper - smart, beautiful, funny -but it wasn't there. She also couldn't redeem herself after talking to him about Courtney [in Episode 4]. That really bothered him and he saw it as a personality flaw." VIDEO: Bachelor's Chris Harrison Says if Fans Hate Courtney Now, Wait Until Next Week Although Harrison understands the blame aimed towards Ben, he does say that he wished viewers could see the deliberations. "He and I spoke before he pulled Courtney aside, and I think if viewers saw that, they would've seen just how much I pushed him on it and why he ultimately started to question her," he says.Harrison adds that next week's episode will include the taped deliberation and that it will be much different than people expect. "The pecking order changes after hometown dates, more so on this season than in the past," he says. "That week changes everything."The highlights of those visits, according to Harrison: Watching Kacie B.'s dad giving Ben a hard time and meeting Courtney's mom. "I think everyone is dying to see where Courtney came from," Harrison says with a laugh. Watch Bachelor: The Morning After With another season almost in the books, Harrison says he's relishing the fact that while people may be ripping on The Bachelor, they're still talking about it. Whether it's an auto-tuned mash-up, Kelly Ripa's spot-on Courtney impression ("She does Courtney better than Courtney does Courtney," Harrison jokes) or Fergie and her mom mentioning the show on the Grammys red carpet, the show is clearly still relevant in Season 16. "This season may not be a Trista and Ryan fairytale or an Ashley and J.P. situation where everyone's rooting for them ... but as long as people have opinions about it, that's what matters," Harrison says. "It's when they're indifferent that it's bad." Watch this week's Bachelor: The Morning After

Eli Manning vs. Tom Brady: What Do Their Favorite TV Shows Say About Them?

Eli Manning, Tom Brady Four years after one of the greatest sports upsets ever, the NY Giants and New England Patriots will face off at the Super Bowl again on Sunday (6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT on NBC). How will Eli Manning and Tom Brady match up four years later? We can break down their passing yards, rushing yards, touchdowns and interceptions all we want, but we believe the most telling stat comes from... their favorite TV shows. So what do their small-screen choices say about them? Let's analyze:Super Bowl XLVI: The Giants and Patriots face off in epic rematchEli ManningFavorite show: SeinfeldManning revealed Tuesday that he also likes Modern Family, but Seinfeld remains his all-time favorite. In 2008, a Fox affiliate in Green Bay told Manning "No Seinfeld for you!" when it notoriously yanked its scheduled rerun of Seinfeld the Saturday night before the Giants' NFC Championship game against the Green Bay Packers. Alas, the plan was foiled after Sony got wind of its nefarious scheme and subsequently sent Manning Seinfeld: The Complete Series DVD collection and a DVD player so he could watch Jerry and the gang all night long. Among Manning's favorite episodes: "The Bizarro Jerry," which also featured Jillian (Kristin Bauer), aka the woman with "man hands." We're gonna go out on a limb and say Manning, coming from a sports clan, thoroughly appreciates all the sports moments in Seinfeld too. What it says about him: He's a simple man, not surprising since he hails from the South. For all its success, Seinfeld was the show about nothing after all. While Manning does have more than most of us ever will, he is un-flashy like the hit sitcom, stays out of tabloids, and is almost average Joe-esque in his work ethic that results in grind-out victories - so much so that, like a lot of us mere earthlings, he believes that he doesn'tget the recognition he deserves. Perhaps his boy-next-door appeal and work ethic are also why, in a survey, 54 percent of married women say they'd rather have an affair with him than the seemingly untouchable Brady. Or maybe it means women know they would never measure up to Gisele Bundchen?Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert to perform at Super BowlTom BradyFavorite show: DexterWe're not the first and won't be the last to point out that Brady looks a lot like Dex himself, Michael C. Hall. Hmm. Do with that what you will. Brady is also fond of Entourage, but that may just be because he made a cameo on it. As far as we can tell, no rival team's home station has tried to prevent him from watching either series.What it says about him: He's a killer - a lady-killer! Before landing Bundchen, Brady dated Bridget Moynahan for two years. Shortly after they split, the three-time Super Bowl champ cozied up to Bundchen and Moynahan announced she was pregnant with his kid. Doesn't get any more Hollywood than that! (Let's not get started on his new $20 million pad, complete with eight bedrooms, a bridge and a butler's room.) Like Dex, Brady is ruthless and clinical in his kills wins and is the star of the show - a stark contrast to the ensemble and team-player natures of Seinfeld and Manning. Unfortunately, Dexter is not exactly getting better with age (cough, Season 6, cough) and Brady, who missed the 2008 season because of injury, has been more off his game than ever before. Coincidence? We think not. Still, the drama stays alive after a two-year renewal, and Brady & Co. survived the Baltimore Ravens to make it to the big game.Who do you think will win the Super Bowl?

Piranha 3DD won't get a UK cinema release

Bad news for fans of boobs, bums and bitey fish, as Piranha 3D sequel Piranha 3DD has been consigned to Davey Jones' Locker, otherwise known as the straight-to-DVD aisle of your local Blockbusters.It seems that the film's UK distributors, Entertainment Films, aren't convinced by the merits of another 3D phallus popping out at British audiences, and have instead pencilled in a DVD release on 19 March 2012.To our minds, this seems a slightly bemusing move, particularly since the first film performed respectably at the box office and even won over some of the grumpiest critics with its deliriously OTT sense of fun.What this means in actual terms, is that UK audiences won't get the opportunity to watch Gary Busey and David Hasselhoff take on a shoal of flesh-eating fish in glorious 3D. And that, friends, is a crying shame. However, our Stateside readers can be reassured that Piranha 3DD is still set for a US theatrical release, with writer Patrick Melton explaining the delay on the films expected Thanksgiving 2011 arrival."It became clear very early on that our goals were not realistic because we needed sun, water slides, and bikini-clad coeds," says Melton, "three things not very prevalent in the United States during the months of January and February.""Nevertheless, we ploughed on and finished shooting in late May. About a month ago, it was tested and scored very well. So well the studio gave us more money to enhance the FX. Soon, it'll be done and ready for a theatrical release. Because of the Spring Break vibe in the film, spring was the obvious time to open it. So, that's the long and short of it. All good. In theatres this spring. See you then."
