America Just Wasn't Ready For Love :(

Ready-For-Love-heart-624x347

If you follow Penn BFF Eva Longoria on Twitter, you know she has been hawking "Ready for Love" – the new NBC reality dating competition she produces – up the wazoo. Unfortunately, the network's pulled the plug on the matchmaking show after just two lowly-rated episodes.

Why should you care? The cancellation is bad news for contestant Ben Patton, a Penn alum! That's right, Penn's triumphant return into the reality dating pool is a short-lived one, as this former economics/systems engineering major will not be finding his soulmate – at least not on national TV. The oddly-structured show featured three bachelors, including unknown Ben and Plain White T's guitarist Tim Lopez, looking for da one amongst a myriad of bachelorettes. Too bad the happily married Ashlorette's off the market, because it looks like Ben's 15 minutes are up. Maybe he can try to catch the love bug at this year's Alumni Weekend.
