I've posted a couple of times about that MTV show "Bromance" where Brody Jenner seeks out his new BFF. The first time was about the casting call in June (here). And the second time was about a couple of the contestants that were from MA (here). Well, apparently the show has run its course and Brody's new BFF was one of the MA contestants.

It's official: Medford's Luke Verge (inset) is Brody Jenner's new BFF. The 24-year-old reality show winner, who traveled to LA last year to compete with eight other dudes for Jenner's affections on MTV's "Bromance," watched the final episode with about 100 friends at The Place Monday. He's been bartending there on nights the show airs, says bar manager Dre Haynes. "It was great because he didn't tell anyone what was going on," he said. In the show's last episode, Verge had to take a lie detector test in front of Jenner's mom and show Jenner around Medford. The parents served Bruce Jenner's son a lobster dinner. Haynes said he was rooting for Verge, who won a car and a rent-free year in Jenner's swanky LA pad. "He's a really funny guy - he's always got something to say."

Congratulations? I'm not really sure what being Brody's BFF entails, but at the very least Mr. Verge beat out the competition and was victorious in achieving BFF status.
