The Bachelor Producers Hit With Herpes Dilemma  6/29/07

The producers of U.S. reality TV show THE BACHELOR have been floored by the amount of pretty women who don't get to woo series hunks - because they have herpes.

A new report reveals a substantial number of single stunners were turned away from the most recent show's auditions after testing positive for herpes and other communicable diseases.

A show insider tells the National Enquirer, "Some of the best looking women have been told recently that they didn't pass the medical portion of the test due to herpes."

The most recent Bachelor was U.S. Navy Lieutenant Andy Baldwin.
