IT wasn’t too long ago that Michigan’s Bob Guiney was a scorned contestant on “The Bachlorette , ” but now with

one episode to go on “The Bachelor “it’s come down to just two girls. And he’s in the driver’s seat.

Who will he pick? Estella, the sultry, worldly brunette from California or Kelly Jo, the sweet-faced, warm-hearted

girl-next-door from the Midwest?

“My personal thing is, I kind of like Estella, ” says Charlie Maher, the former “Bachelorette ” contestant

who ultimately was passed over by, Trista Rehn when she picked Ryan Sutter during that show’s finale.

“Estella’s a little more sophisticated, a little bit more mature and a little bit older, but who knows, ” says Maher.

“There’s even a possibility that he doesn’t pick anybody, ” says Maher, who’s been friends with Guiney, 32, since their turn as two of 25 bachelors trying to woo Trista on “The Bachelorette.”

“Bob’s been married before and he’s not going take this decision lightly, ” Maher says.
