I got an interesting email today and after a bit of checking it looks to pan out.

"I just wanted to share with you that Dave left because he was dating, Bailey Hanks, winner of Legally Blonde: The Search for Elle Woods. She also went to Coastal Carolina. Sadly, upon his return SHE WAS DATING SOMEONE ELSE! WHOOPSIE!

Sincerely,

The One Who Knows"

Well that surely does suck! Sorry to hear it Dave.

Also, we were hoping you would have stuck around so you could have made a banana split with that pompous ****at on The Island who should have gone home this week (instead of Abe.)


Here is what Dave says about it on Remote Control:

Some could argue that maybe it was too soon for me to be on another show so much like the Real World, although I don’t really think that was it. Being a Rookie and the only one from Hollywood? Didn’t matter to me — I had met mostly everyone prior to the Challenge. I just started thinking about all the other things I could be doing with my time back home — working on my clothing company and other businesses, shooting more for the show I was (and still am) lead hosting, etc. I had also met a very nice girl — Bailey Hanks from MTV’s Legally Blonde The Musical: The Search for Elle Woods — before leaving for Panama and I wanted to see where that would go. I mean, I was just like, “This is boring and not what I had expected as far as savage competition.”

He may have also anticipated getting thrown into a (non)challenge with Dan (the drunk guy who wanted to kill him?) and figured he'd just leave with his tail between his legs.

So he quit the show for her to be with her and she had already moved on to vicitm #2?? I saw a couple of episodes of her Show and she seemed really sweet and down to earth...Much too nice and respectable for Dave, LOL.

Oh Dave isn't that bad either. lol Bailey did seem really sweet on the show though. I even swore never to see the musical if she didn't win.. and I'm a serious Elle Woods wanna be. LMAO

Now that is damning with faint praise...

lol

Dave left the challenge for a girl? What would the Tres Amigos think?!!?

Is it better to have left because of a woman you have only briefly known, or to leave because Dan just might rip your head off in a drunken rage?

And which is the better explanation for your adoring legion of fans?

We report, you decide...
