'Bachelor' Producers Go for the Publicity Score with Scandal

The cat is more than out of the bag: Contestant of The Bachelor: On the Wings of Love, Rozlyn Papas, was allegedly "hooking up" with a producer in the Bachelor house while taping the hit show when she was supposed to be. And oh, when those clever producers of the ABC show found out, they decided to make "an incredibly unfortunate" situation into an advantage that would benefit them best, an insider tells OK!.

"They had the crew sign confidentiality agreements," a source tells OK! "They didn't want us to say anything about it. They wanted to blow it up right before the show aired."

Although their plan might have not turned out as they would have hoped, because essentially, someone couldn't hold in the juicy details that Rozlyn and the producer (who has yet to be identified) were fired from the show.

But all publicity in Hollywood — good and bad — is always great for show business.

The episode that will unravel the Bachelor scandal will air this Monday night, Jan. 11 on ABC.
