Bachelor host Chris Harrison feels really sorry for disgraced contestant Rozlyn Papa — he hopes she rises above and becomes a “better person.”

Why? Because she allegedly — OK, most likely — had physical relations with a male producer behind Jake Pavelka’s back, then lied about it. Rozlyn left the show bathed in scandal, the producer got canned and Jake went back to handing out roses to his 20 other prospects.

Rozlyn denied the affair on last night’s Women Tell All special — Chris led the inquisition, the other ladies pounced (“I saw you making out on the stoop!!”) and Rozlyn — digging herself deeper into a hole — uttered this blasphemous statement: “On my child’s life, that never happened.”

Damn, Roz. That was a low blow. We can’t even.

Then she accused Chris of hitting on the axed producer’s wife in New Zealand (ha), and he fired back on his EW.com blog:

It was a desperate attempt by a very desperate woman to create a diversion and deflect the spotlight from herself as she had done several times throughout the interview when she felt backed into a corner by the overwhelming truth. I was extremely disappointed that Rozlyn would stoop to that level and bring my family and me into this already sad and unfortunate situation. Beyond the fact that it’s just flat out not true, that comment was well beyond the line of decency and speaks volumes to the kind of person Rozlyn is. My wife, who I’ve been with since I was 18 and have been married to for over 16 years, was in the audience that night and got as big a laugh out of Rozlyn’s comment as I did.

We get where Chris is coming from — Rozlyn WAS out of line — but his patronizing tone does not sit well with us. Namely because the show needs troublemakers like Rozlyn to build buzz and get people talking, so while she should come clean about seducing the producer, publicly attacking her bad morals — and hoping she becomes a better person through all of this — flies directly in the face of what this successful show is all about: cheesy Vegas production values, tacky and desperado contestants putting their dignity on the line to get the guy (and sometimes bending the truth in the process).

Don’t feel sorry for Rozlyn, Chris. And don’t pretend The Bachelor is the Most Moral Show In Reality-Television History.

Make Rozlyn the next Bachelorette. Let’s start the campaign now.
