They’ll always have Paris.

ABC’s The Bachelor continued its streak of unsuccessful hook ups this week when the most recent Bachelor, Dr. Travis Stork, and his handpicked gal pal Sarah Stone, announced that they are no longer a couple.

Wow. I, for one, am just amazed this didn’t work out – after all, they seemed to have so much in common, being they were both from Nashville and all. But alas, the Tennessee twosome are no longer a pair and blame the rules imposed by the show for the split, as the couple was not allowed to interact from when the taping ended in November to when the finale broadcast on February 27.

"The reality is that we were in this fantasy world. And now that we're back in Nashville, over time when you're not allowed to see someone, you grow apart," Travis told The Tennessean.

Apparently so. And kind of ironic, given the 33-year-old doc claims the "one thing that is missing is a woman" from his otherwise fabulous life, according to his biography on http://abc.go.com/primetime/bachelor/bios/8/travis.html. So to rectify the situation, he becomes The Bachelor, gives his chosen honey a promise ring, then backpedals when he has to wait a few months to seal the deal. What a charmer.

"Through this time, we realized that it was a great experience in Paris and that we're so lucky to have met one another in Paris, and we'll never forget that," Sarah said in the interview. Fortunately, given this season of The Bachelor is over, while they may not, we all soon will.
