He's a "33-year-old ER doctor who is completing his residency at Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville" and he's also ABC's newest Bachelor.

1. Well I missed all the other seasons and it sure looks I have no reason to watch this season. He looks dirty and not in a good way.

4. If they really wanted to stir things up on the show, they should have gotten a gay man for this season. Wait, they already did that show; Boy meets Boy. Oh, never mind.

5. How about a gay man pretending to be a woman? They could call it Bachelor/Bachelorette and add some nice musical numbers...maybe Robert Preston could make an appearance, or Julie Andrews ;)

6. Okay, let's cut to the chase: what does he look like with his shirt off? Honestly, the only reason I turned on "The Bachelor" was to see Jesse Palmer's body. And, hey, did that Charlie O'Connell brother ever take his clothes off?

7. My sister is a friend of Travis and will verify that this is a terrible picture of Travis. She recounts that the first time she saw him, she thought he was the most attractive man she had ever seen in her life...

8. Okay, after seven seasons ABC has only chosen Caucasians for the bachelors. This must mean that there are no eligible mestizo Latinos, African-American, Asian, Native American, or mixed-race men in America.

11. My sister is 30. Her husband just finished his residency at Vanderbilt. I do not know anyone who has a friend that has slept with Tom Cruise ;-(

12. Mmmmm, Travis? I think I'm feeling like a trip to the ER. Better check my pulse. Yes, I definitely need some emergency care.

13. ew...is he homeless?

14. I make a point to avoid all reality television shows. I tried to watch "Boy meets Boy" but could not get past the "Ed Grimley" hair styles and over-the-top drama. I even stopped watching "Queer Eye" after Bravo re-ran, ad-nauseaum, the first 5 episodes for 8 months.

    Secondly, a reality TV participant does not a celebrity make. Like David Spade said last night, "Celebrity means to CELEBRATE... [for those self promoting reality stars] we only TOLERATE."

15. I'm a HUGE fan of the Bachelor and can't wait to see this episode!! :) I never missed one! :)

16. Okay, I saw several commercials for the new season and I have to say that the pic above does nothing to show this studs beauty...WOOF! He's actually a very gorgeous man...AND they're filming in Paris.

17. The guy has been so madeover, it's ridiculous. He stated he does not care about his womans appearance (who could tell judging by the way they brought him in off the streets)
    The guy is a lacklustre wannabe Dr. Kildare.
    Run girls run!!!!!

18. Isn't this the Travis Stork who went Parkway West High School in St Louis MO and graduated in 1990?

19. Yes, I can confirm that he is the Travis that went to PWH in STL! My sister recalls in from HS and said he was smart, generally well-liked, not popular, cute, BUT creepy with his interaction with girls.
    What is the deal with picking bachelors and bachelorettes from STL? Trista and now Travis!

20. He looks kinda creepy He obviously has no taste since he could not even
    clean himself up... ABC had to do it. His choice of women will probably be strange, since he probably has a chip on his shoulder from being unpopular.

21. Yes, this long-haired "before" pic is quite revealing about him.

    It doesn't help that he is completely and utterly boring.

    Maybe ABC is going for that whole "Average Joe" thing???

22. You try staying up for a 36 hour shift while patients are bleeding, dying, giving birth, and everything in between. Then try having to carry at least two pagers that go off at random intervals every few minutes and you either have to book it to another part of the ER/hospital and begin CPR/shocking or you are told that a new patient will be assigned to you and is arriving on the lifeflight hellicopter landing pad in two minutes. Then, and only then, I'd like to see how good you look. This guy is super hot. I worked with him at Vanderbilt. Despite the INCREDIBLE stress of his job, he never lost his cool.

23. This picture does not do Travis justice. He is very attractive. I worked with him and he is a great guy not to mention doctor. He has a wonderful personality and will make a great bachelor.

24. For a good time, please call 1-900-stork-a-lot

25. I read online that he's had some ups and downs and was engaged to a girl in DC before. Any word on why that went bad....
