'Bachelorette' runner-up Ben Flajnik is newest 'Bachelor'

 
Ben Flajnik is getting back in the reality dating game, becoming the newest “Bachelor” on ABC's long-running dating series.

The 28-year-old Sonoma winemaker first made an impression on viewers when he appeared on last season’s “The Bachelorette.” And though Ashley Hebert rejected his proposal (choosing fellow suitor J.P. Rosenbaum instead ), Flajnik seems to think there are still plenty of fishes in the reality sea.

“The Bachelor” returns in January. Wonder if Jennifer Love Hewitt will be tuning in?
