The Lawyer and the Bachelorette (Week 3)
We just finished watching The Bachelorette, which has featured a few lawyer-contestants this season. We’re happy to report that the attorneys are doing well. Out of nine bachelors still in the running for the hand of the lovely DeAnna Pappas, two are attorneys: Jeremy and Fred.
The frontrunner — between the two of them, and on the whole show right now — is 30-year-old Jeremy Anderson (SMU Law / Hunton & Williams). He’s rubbing the other guys the wrong way, but much of it seems to be player-hating. DeAnna is definitely falling for him, as are ATL readers. In our poll, 85 percent of you picked him over Eric Papachristos of Ropes & Gray, who got the ax last week.
We can see why. Last month, a reader commended Jeremy’s abs to us. We don’t know how this (male) reader was aware of Jeremy’s fine physique, but thanks to this week’s poolside cavorting, we were able to see for ourselves — and concur. Thumbnail at right; click to enlarge.
Fred, also a 30-year-old lawyer, is a more mysterious candidate. His last name is rumored to be Glick, although that hasn’t been confirmed. A reader tells us that he graduated from Chicago’s John Marshall Law School about five years ago. It’s not clear where he currently works. (If you know, please email us.)
We’re not big Fred fans. He’s on the doughy side, at least compared to the other contestants, and he came across like a tool during his attempt to ambush DeAnna during her one-on-time with Jeremy.
But Fred redeemed himself during the contestants’ pilgramage to the Oracle of Lesbos, Ellen DeGeneres. His explanation of DeAnna’s best quality was rambling (and highlighted that heavy Chicago accent), but Ellen seemed taken by it — combined with his performance in the “dance-off.” She gave him a rose.
So both Jeremy and Fred are still in the running. Which lawyer-lover do you prefer?

FIRST to say that there's nothing like a picture of a dude's abs on a legal gossip site to entrench my loyalty. Now THAT'S some good reporting! Well done, Lat!
Of course the buff lawyer went to a TTT school.
Lat--like all the refomed--has dropped weight, now he has no truck with the doughy-side-set.
Maybe Fred has a great great personality. Wait, I forgot--he is a lawyer.
Never mind.

Do people really care about the Bacherlorette?
I write to protest the sexist double standard on this site.
Naturally, some of your readers like a little male eye candy now and again. Not my cup of tea, but diversity makes the world go around.
No, the sexist double standard is that while the hunk loving ALT readers are treated to “ab” shots, we male heterosexual readers have to be satisfied with edited nip-slips, e.g., Non-Sequiturs, Sunday, June 1, 2008, Tara Reid “wardrobe malfunction” HEAVILY REDACTED VERSION.
In future, please show more parity and lay off the nip redactions.
Thank you,

Mr. Abs is a dead ringer for Brandon Lee.
Why is the photo f-ed up? His hands are abnormal.
Christ, Lat. You're a fruit.
This doesn't even meet the unbelievably low bar of "tabloid journalism." Even TMZ would leave this shit alone.
I'm done with this site.
I'm 27 years old.
I believe in taking care of myself,
in a balanced diet, in a rigorous exercise routine.
ln the morning, if my face is a little pufffy,
I'll put on an icepack while doing my stomach crunches.
I can do a thousand now.
@12:39:
Good riddance. While you are at it, why don't you GTFO of my profession as well.
There is no longer room in society in general or in the law for biggoted asswipes like you.
you may want to update the poll so that readers have a choice between Jeremy and Fred..Eric was last week.
@12:54
You mean 11:44? Venting, you're doing it wrong.
Yea, I meant 11:44.
I don't think Jeremy is going to win. He's peaking too early. If he wins, it will be too boring.
Is he a T Rex?
He has very dainty hands...weird.
Ewww his hands are girly like. He definitely wouldn't be able to satisfy my spanking desires.
You know what they say about people with small hands...
12:39 Do you listen to Hewy Lewis and the News? I think I saw you dining at Dorsia the other night.
Who really gives a shit about this? Pathetic...
He may not be a lawyer, but Jason has my vote. Sensitive, hot single dad -- hello!!

I summered with Jeremy but I don't know a thing about him (with such a small class, that's surprising). Not sure he ever even spoke to me. If the other guys don't like him, I'd bet it's because of the "too cool for school" aura he tends to have. He might be very nice, but I couldn't tell you. I think I remember someone telling me he was only part-time at SMU, but still graduated early.
He was definitely a "night schooler" at SMU. I have no idea if it's because he worked or just couldn't get in otherwise.
Also, his nipples are like all the way on one side of his chest. What's up with that?
12:38 - Excellent observation. His nipples are similar to the eyes on a hammer head shark.
@ 11:38
I summered with Jeremy too! He was an incredibly nice guy who went out of his way to be friendly to everyone. At first I thought he was a "frat boy" kinda guy, but someone else who went to school with himsaid I was wrong. Once I got to know him, I realized that he was awesome. I hope he wins.
They are both sexy.
As far as the "heterosexual male's" complaint above - I don't think anyone is feeling sorry for him.
1:13, you're an idiot. They're not both sexy. I would let Jeremy cum in my ass. I wouldn't even let Fred blow me.
1:28 - I sure hope you aren't a dude!
2:02, why!
"Also, his nipples are like all the way on one side of his chest. What's up with that?"
ANSWER: When ever men or women exhibit odd nipple or belly-button placement these days the most likely explanation is plastic surgery.
The guy had PECK IMPLANTS!!!!! Yikes!!!!
Maybe he also had bicep implants, which would explain the dainty hands/bulging bicep disparity.
@ 1:01 (I'm the other summer) - You're probably right. Like I said, i never got to know him and I think the "cool guy" aura is just the way he comes off at first impression. I will say that he seems to be a genuinely hard worker, so good for him that he's taking a little vacation.
2:47 - I guess you don't dig large delicious breasts?
- 2:02
snoozer...
Lat should require
that all posts be formatted
as haikus or such.
I went to law school with Fred. His last name is Greif. Don't think he is practicing law. I heard he is a gym teacher. Guess lawyer sounds better. He was a really nice and dated a really ugly girl.
2:02-I hope he's a dude. I've never heard a woman say "I wouldn't even let him blow me." How would one go about blowing a woman anyway?
4:10 - I always tell my guy to "blow me baby" Never seem to have an issue?
Since Greif is registered out of a residence on the IARDC website, maybe the gym-teacher thing is true. And now all those gals that like the lovable-loser type know where to serenade him.
Hunton has taken Anderson's bio down. Some of the reality sites are posting that he is no longer there. Just passed the bar in February, so couldn't have practiced very much if at all considering the taping schedule.
This lawyer loves the Bachelor(ette) and posts hilarious recaps: http://bachelornewsupdate.blogspot.com/
Fred has been eliminated.
i think i have a great friend for fred--anyone know how to set him up on a less public blind date?
