The Bachelor: Melissa Tells All & Jason Says He's Not A Jerk

Sassy Smith — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 17:07:00 GMT

Oh what a season of The Bachelor! In the "shocking" finale twist, Jason Mesnick proposed to Melissa Rycroft, only to dump her moments later (TV time) and snuggle up to the rejected Molly Malaney, who, took him (foolishly) back. Melissa said Jason and Molly betrayed her, and Jason said he's sorry for what he had to do but please don't think of him as a jerk.

Melissa, who appeared on Thursday's Ellen DeGeneres Show, spoke of her betrayal by Jason, and said how hurt she was by him.

"Once we got back, we both kind of sat in the real world, and we were talking about how [our relationship] was different. He kind of gave up, and I couldn't understand why at the time. Now I do - because I think there was someone else involved."

She added, "And that is where my feelings of betrayal came in. I knew on the night After the Final Rose [aired], I wasn't getting dumped. We had already ended the relationship and that was mutual.

"I repeatedly asked him, 'Is Molly involved in anything?' And when they moved up the taping of After the Final Rose, I was going, 'Why did we move the taping up? What's going on?'

"I asked Jason, 'Am I going to be blind-sided by anything? Is there anything you want to tell me?' And he said, 'No, gosh no.' And the second I went out on that stage, he goes, 'P.S. it is Molly.' And I went, 'Bastard!'"

Jason has denied that he was dating Molly prior to the finale show, but Melissa said she had a feeling that he was lying.

"Being a girl, you get that feeling. Anybody that's been cheated on, you know. And being a woman, I got that feeling, because he just backed away from me, and I knew he had contacted her."

Melissa said, "There had been at least one contact that I knew about, where he was 'checking on her,' and so it was just in the back of my mind. I would just casually ask, 'Are you talking to her? Have you talked to her? Tell me, just be honest.'"

"He kept saying, 'no.'

Rycroft admits to initating emails after the filming of After the Final Rose.

"I instigated it ... and wish I hadn't. I felt like I needed to apologize for getting that angry with him, but at the same time, I said, 'I hope you know why I got that mad.' We weren't talking at that point, so it was my way off saying, 'This is my closure ... Don't reply back.'"

Melissa said she could never be friends with Jason - or Molly.

"Jason and Molly don't quite have the characteristics of [people] I would want to be friends with. On a level, they both did betray me. I understand it was a break-up, and I'm not mad about that. We all get broken up with, but to be lied to...."

Jason Mesnick spoke with momlogic.com and admits he should have never proposed to Melissa. Oh ya think?

He said, "If I could go back again obviously -- yeah, I'm the stupid one. I shouldn't have proposed. But at the moment, I thought I was doing the right thing because she was the right one. She was the person I always dreamed of. Why wouldn't I propose to the person I've always been dreaming of?"

But don't think he's a coward or a jerk for dumping Melissa (and on-camera no less).

He added, "I'm not as cowardly as it might seem or as much of a jerk as I might seem for doing it on camera. But that was my only chance to do it."

Jason's mother warned him of a public backlash.

Mesnick said, "She said, 'You know if you go through with [this breakup], people are going to really look down on you.' And I said, 'But it's the truth, and if people judge me for following my heart, I can't control that.'"

And what about his little boy Ty, who's 4? How does Jason explain all the confusion to him? Having one woman in his life, as his daddy's new love, and then poof, she's gone, replaced with another?

"Ty has no idea what's going on," Mesnick says. "As far as the girls, I don't think he's able to kind of draw a conclusion from that."

Um, Ty was there at the finale after his father proposed - he must have been told what engaged means, how Melissa would be a part of his life and become his step-mom? Kids don't just forget all of a sudden.

Listen, if Jason didn't love Melissa or if he had even the slightest doubt, he should have never proposed to her and he should have NOT included his son in this whole process until he made his choice - his real choice, then he could slowly introduce Ty to the woman he's going to commit too. I don't fault him for loving who he loves, but you don't humilate people and lie to them. If you have to break it off with someone, you do it with integrity and as kind as humanly possible.

Melissa (who is way better off without Jason) is dating a man named Ty. Maybe she'll get her wedding and babies after all!

When Bachelors Attack: Andrew Firestone Calls Jason Mesnick an Ass

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 14:35:00 GMT

Bachelor fight! Former Bachelor Andrew Firestone is calling out Jason Mesnick for his behavior on the show's finale, where he unceremoniously dumped fiancé Melissa Rycroft for Molly Malaney. I'm dying to see what happens when two reality show stars come to blows. Is there oil wrestling involved? A strip-off? Does it get any hotter than this?

In an interview with US magazine, Firestone doesn't hold back when talking about Mesnick's actions. "If he didn’t have his mind made up, don’t do anything," Firestone says. "Don’t feel that you are so pressured into having to propose or make a decision. There’s no reason that you have to do anything, especially if you’re so torn that you’re crying like a little girl on that balcony.

"He was faking it so much that he was crying uncontrollably and then [showed] uncontrollable elation, so he was either lying to one or the other, convincingly," he said. (Um, hello - did somebody mention 'staged'?)

Firestone added that he felt Mesnick ending his engagement in public was inappropriate. "Don’t drag the poor girl on national TV. I think the main thing, you’ve got to act like a gentleman."

"I think it’s a front -- him crying. I think it’s so much more calculated," Firestone went on. "But he always tried to be the guy next door. I don’t even know what his motivation was, whether it’s being on TV or whatever it is."

(I have to agree with Firestone here. I don't even watch the show, but Mesnick reeled me in with the whole sensitive, single-dad thing. And what parent wouldn't be pulling for a guy who was just trying to provide a loving home environment for his kid? Or, so he said.)

Firestone says Mesnick "was acting like an ass" during the finale and After the Rose special.

"I thought it was super shady that Jason has one girl on and then he did the squirmy, puppy dog kind of thing," Firestone says. "Melissa goes walking off and then the other girl comes on, and he’s sheepish and making out with her. Come on.

"He keeps saying, 'Oh, nobody knows what it’s like,' but ... nobody would put themselves in those shoes. Those are shoes that nobody wants to wear. He can keep saying, 'Oh, you’re not in my shoes.' Well there’s a reason for that, because I choose not to put those shoes on."

I think I get the picture, Andrew - no stinkin' shoes for you.

Was The Bachelor Ending Staged? Host Swears on a Stack of Bibles That It Wasn't

sweatpantsmom — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 22:05:00 GMT

Okay, maybe not on a stack of bibles - this guy doesn't look like the type that would do that. But Bachelor host Chris Harrison is denying allegations that ABC staged this season's finale of the popular reality show, which ended with bachelor Jason Mesnick dumping fiancée Melissa Rycroft in favor of runner-up Molly Malaney. Harrison writes:

“We are not responsible for, nor have we ever scripted, the ending of this show,” Chris Harrison wrote in a posting on his Entertainment Weekly website blog. “Let me re-type this slowly so all of you can read this: We do not, and have not, decided the ending of any of our seasons. Let’s be honest, if we did don’t you think we would do a better job and have a much higher success rate?”

I'm glad he re-typed part of that slowly. I'm really bad at reading lips.

Bachelor creator Mike Fleiss is also coming to the shows defense. Looks like the online rumors are really starting to get to these guys. Of the accusations he writes:

“That’s patently untrue. It was [Jason's] choice in New Zealand who he proposed to.” But after the show wrapped, Fleiss says, “He was not in love with Melissa anymore and he was in love with Molly and he needed to make a change.”

In fact, according to Fleiss, plans were underway to bring Molly back as next season's Bachelorette. “She was finally starting to come around and saying she wanted to do it, and she had spoken to her family,” he says. “I thought she would be a fantastic Bachelorette, so likeable and beautiful and telegenic.”

A week later, Fleiss learned that Jason and Melissa were not getting along, and that Jason was still thinking about Molly. “My first thought was, ‘Oh, too bad,’” Fleiss says. “My next thought was, ‘Wow, that’s almost too good!’ I knew that was a remarkable twist.

“At that point, the decision was made to bring all three parties into the studio to film After the Final Rose, the most shocking After the Final Rose in Bachelor history,” Fleiss says. “It was never anyone’s plan.”

Here's my opinion (not that anyone asked.) I didn't watch the whole show, but I thought Melissa's reaction at being dumped was way too subdued. Where was the sobbing, the throwing of chairs, the beating of Jason within an inch of his life? You're getting dumped by your fiancé, and all you can muster is a whispered, "You bastard."?

Also, Jason has had such a good reputation up until now - the loving single dad who dotes on his son and was unfairly dumped by Deanna in The Bachelorette. Would he be willing to throw that all away? As a parent, wouldn't he think about how all the bad publicity would eventually affect his son? Unless of course, everyone involved knew the whole thing was a ruse.

What do you think? Was the ending too bad to be true, or did Jason really have a change of heart at the last minute? Just remember - some people still think "The Hills' is unscripted, too.

"The Bachelor" Jason Mesnick Dumped Melissa On Phone BEFORE Show

Sassy Smith — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 19:01:00 GMT

The Bachelor's Jason Mesnick said he's surprised by the public backlash since the final show aired a few days ago, which we saw him dump Melissa Rycroft on air and moments later, cuddle up to Molly Malaney, asking for a second chance. He just doesn't get why people are so angry - he says he broke it off with Melissa a week before the show, so what's the problem. Really?

Said Jason, "I don't know if the public expected me to just pretend like I'm in a good happy relationship. I mean, is that what people really wanted to see? Because that was the other option, but never a real option for me.

"It sucks that everyone thinks I'm dragging Melissa over the coals right in front of everybody because it's not true. What's funny is that everybody loves the fact that I break up with somebody every week in the regular part of the show... and now I'm being judged."

Mesnick claims he broke it off with Rycroft on the phone a week before the taping of the Final Rose after show. (Some how that doesn't seem much better).

He said he doesn't blame her for the way things changed between them, but said for him, he changed his mind about staying with her "right after the holidays.

"She didn't do anything wrong, but we had this great communication style where we could talk about anything while we were on the show, and then all of a sudden we're together for longer periods of time afterwards and we just couldn't talk about stuff."

According to Jason, Melissa knew that they'd both be on the after show, to talk about what went wrong - that she was not blindsided. He said there was no prior discussion between them about what would be said or how it would play out on TV.

He added, "Her response had been, 'How do you want me to react to that? I wasn't going to coach her. I just told her that we were going to talk about things again [on the show] and however she felt is how she was going to react. I'm never going to tell anyone what to say."

The big question is, if he was unsure about Melissa, and still had feelings for Molly, then why not propose to Molly? Or not propose to either if he was on the fence? Wouldn't that have been better? To really think about how you feel, before leaping?

Mesnick says he didn't propose Molly because "he was scared." So, you ask another to marry you instead? This man confuses me.

Jason said, "We had this young, fun, friendship relationship with a lot of passion. People who have been together for a long time all say, 'The passion is the first thing to do.' In my regular everyday life I wouldn't have stopped dating any one of [the final three]. I would have gone and tried to experience more with each of them."

And of course, this isn't just about Jason. His little boy, Ty, 4, is involved too. He's young, but still, it must be confusing for the kid when he's told that Melissa is going to be his step-mommy, be a part of his every day life and then, poof, she's no longer in the picture. How does Jason tell his son what's happened?

"I don't know. I think that I want him to look at me and just say, 'My daddy had this crazy experience and it's OK to do some things differently from other people. It's OK that relationships don't work because that's part of real life.' I want him to see how real it was and how hard it was for me and that how much all that pain was worth it in the end."

Would Jason ever want Ty to find love on TV?

He said, "I hope Ty would be the type of person to think about doing something different, absolutely. I wouldn't say necessarily a TV show."

Yes, because we all see how well that worked.

The Bachelor Fallout: Trista Sutter Blasts Jason Mesnick

Sassy Smith — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 16:03:00 GMT

Former Bachelorette contestant Trista Sutter - who found love with Ryan and is expecting their second child - was not happy with the way Jason Mesnick handled the break-up with Melissa Rycroft.

Trista said she was shocked that Jason would propose to one woman, introduce her to his son as his fiance, break up with her on TV, then ask another for a second chance.

She told momlogic, "How could you go from being engaged to someone, to kissing someone else on the couch? He doesn't deserve to walk away scot-free."

She added, "What disappointed me as a mom is that he introduced both girls to Ty. Melissa was around, and now she's gone. What is Ty going to think?" That's exactly what I said!

Trista sent a text message to Melissa that said, "I'm proud of the way you handled it."

Another The Bachelor contestant, season 10's Andy Baldwin wasn't impressed by Mesnick's decision. He wrote on his Facebook page, "Andy is glad when he was the Bach. He was a man and didn't sell his soul and cave. Such a sellout."

He later wrote, "You do NOT break up on national television. That is the opposite of a gentleman."

I agree with them both. Listen, if you don't love someone and you know you're not right for each other, that's fine. No one is faulting Jason for his feelings - but it's the way he went about it (and I wish he'd stop hiding behind the "contract" because if none of this was planned, the breaking up on TV certainly wouldn't be included). And the fact that he (according to Melissa) didn't even give them a chance, didn't fight for their relationship, doesn't seem fair to her. If he had the slightest doubt, he should have never proposed - he could have said, I want you but let's try this in the real world first. Plus, he put his son in the middle of this all, which I don't agree with. He should have made damn good and sure who he truly wanted before adding little Ty to the mix.

Jason Mesnick Went Back To Molly Because She's Pregnant?!

Sassy Smith — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 18:02:00 GMT

Not being a fan of The Bachelor, I've only seen one show - and that was Monday night's finale (okay, two, since I also watched the after show). Anyway, it was a big shock for some, that Jason Mesnick proposed to Melissa but then dumped her (publicly no less) and went back to Molly. Why? Was the connection with her just so great? Or is there something more? According to rumors, Molly is pregnant!

Apparently, during one of the episodes, there was a "tent sleepover," and the rumor is that Molly became pregnant during that time. I have no idea - didn't see the show, and even if there was sex involved, I'm assuming they don't show that part, although it's probably implied. Here are some comments from fans about the pregnancy rumor:

"Another rumor thats been spread around is that molly was chosen from the beginning, because she got pregnant after the tent sleep over. The whole "picking Melissa" thing was supposedly to create drama for the show. It was interesting watching molly's facial expressions in the after show, almost like she knew what was going on before they told her... oh well guess we'll find out tomorrow if she's pregnant or not!"

"I heard about the pregnancy rumor yesterday and was watching for any signs...I definitely saw a difference...PLUS (!!) they only shot her from her top 1/2..or someone was blocking her. She's totally prego! I think it's great!"

"I am not convinved that Molly is pregnant. But, I tink two scenarios are possible...Molly got in touch withJason with a pregnancy allegation because she slept with him and could not accept being blown off on national TV or she got pregnant on purpose because she wanted to be the one who got Jason. I actually believe that beth women were in love withe the idea of love."

"I have a feeling it was all staged. It just didnt look right. The only one who actually looked like the had real emotions was Melissa. Maybe Molly is pregnant..."

"Molly looked pregnant on the beach in New Zealand.. and Jason looked like a guy who got "trapped".. I've seen that look before!..haha"

So... is Molly preggers with Jason's baby? That would certainly put a twist on things, now wouldn't it?

Really, it's probably better if she isn't because I don't think Jason is ready for any sort of relationship (he seems to have a commitment phobia or can't make up his damn mind) and since he's already a single dad to one son (Ty), he certainly doesn't need another child to add to his current, complicated relationship situation.

I wonder too, what Jason's ex (Ty's mom) thinks of what's happened?

Meet The Ex Mrs Jason Mesnick & Ty's Mom (Photos)!

Sassy Smith — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 15:07:00 GMT

The Bachelor Jason Mesnick is the talk of the town - and not all good. Actually, most of it bad. After Monday night's show, which saw Jason turn Molly away and propose to Melissa, only to dump her a few minutes later (of course that's condensed TV time), and then hook up with Molly again, many people were left with a bad taste in their mouth. His decisions have viewers talking and also wondering about his ex-wife and the mother of his child. Who, exactly, is the ex Mrs. Jason Mesnick and mother of Ty?

More pics and video after the jump!

Thinkfashion.com found out a few tidbits about the ex-wife of Jason. She goes by the name of Hilary Madison Wynn (losing her former husband's name), she's an aspiring model/fashion designer and has even starred in a music video. She has posted on her own blog at modelmayhem.com and according to Think Fashion, she sounds like someone after her own 15 minutes (or more) in the spotlight. However, she has avoided the media while Jason's been doing his "Bachelor" crap but reportedly at the insistence of Mesnick.

Maybe she and Jason should get back together - they both sort of seem like they want the spotlight, but at what expense? Hopefully she and Jason are at least putting their son's needs and feelings first. Fingers crossed.

Here's the ex in a video from Seattle Band, Out From Underneath's "Happy" featuring Hilary:

"The Bachelor" Backlash: Jason Mesnick In The Doghouse

Sassy Smith — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 12:06:00 GMT

In what was labeled the most dramatic Bachelor series yet, Jason Mesnick's proposal to Melissa and then his subsequent break-up with her on TV (and she seemed to not have any idea this was going to happen) and his admission of actually loving Molly, has landed Mesnick in the doghouse, with not only Melissa (who never wants to see him again), but with The Bachelor fans. And what about Jason's son Ty? How does this change of heart affect him?

Luckily, I'm not a fan of the show, however, I did watch last night - after writing about Jason a few times, I wanted to know if the true fans were correct in what they believed was going to happen - they were right on the money. The ol' switch-a-roo.

Was it planned? I'm not sure, but I'm guessing ABC wanted Jason to do his breaking up on TV (ratings, rating, ratings). He could have talked to Melissa privately, and then both could have gone on the show to discuss what happened (and perhaps, by that time, she'd be past her initial hurt and maybe, moved on). Instead, Melissa was humiliated and she seemed genuinely hurt and blindsided by it all - or maybe she's a good actress? I don't know, like I said, I'm not a regular of the show.

So, Mesnick couldn't stop thinking about Molly, therefore, she's the one he wants to be with. Really? If she was the one, I mean really the one, why didn't he propose to her in the first place? Did he actually fall for her in the beginning and producers of the show told him it had to play out, obviously (or there'd be no show), so he "fell" for someone else too, and knew he'd be breaking her heart - on TV in front of millions? That seems slimy.

And of course, most importantly, there's little Ty to think about. Yes, he's young, not even four yet, but how has this affected him? After Jason's proposal to Melissa, they brought Ty in to celebrate on-camera. I'm sure afterwards there was all sorts of talk about how Melissa was going to be daddy's new wife, and therefore a step-mom to Ty, who seemed to really like her - little kids don't fake that sort of thing. He probably fell in love with her, in his sweet 3-year-old way, and was excited at the prospect of having her be a part of their lives. Then, boom, Melissa is gone and Molly is in. Has to be confusing for the kid. As a parent, I would think Jason would be absolutely sure of his choices before bringing his son in to the mix.

Sure, you can't help what you feel - and it's always better to realize what you're really feeling before the wedding takes place, but there are ways of doing things that don't humiliate the other person. I know it's a show, and a reality show at that, but there must be real feelings and emotions involved in at least some parts of it, and the way Melissa was told at the end, was low. Being dumped is painful enough - can you imagine having it done on national TV? Was Jason paid to do it that way? What message is he sending to his son, if that's true? That women can be embarrassed and hurt in front of an audience for a price?

I hope Jason knows what he's doing - he's got a son who's life is affected by the choices of his father.

To be completely honest, I have not watched one episode of the Bachelor, ever. I have way too many things lined up on Tivo on Monday nights, you know, like "Heroes", "Chuck", "House", and "Big Bang Theory". I couldn't possibly fit more into a night. However, I have kept up the last couple of weeks on the drama, with everyone on the internet and their brother talking about the Molly and Melissa conundrum.

Jason was a guest on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" last night and actually explained a few things about the show, what he did and why he had to do it on live television.

So without futher ado:

Are you still mad? Do you think he could have handeled it better?

Update!! "The Bachelor" Jason Mesnick Makes His Choice!!

Sassy Smith — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 03:20:00 GMT

The Bachelor's hunky, single dad, Jason Mesnick has made his choice! He had, what he said was, a huge decision to make, particularly because he has to think not only of himself, but his 3-year-old son, Ty. Who did Jason choose?

Find out after the jump *Show Spoiler*!

Jason said he had fallen for both Melissa and Molly and he had introduced both women to his family, as well as his little boy. Ty warmed to both but took to Melissa much faster than Molly, but hey, little kids aren't predictable. His parents and siblings liked both women, and they could tell that both genuinely cared for Jason. But, of course, Jason could only choose one.

In what was called the most dramatic Bachelor season ever, Jason Mesnick has chosen Melissa to be his bride! But, it doesn't end happily ever after...

On The Bachelor: After The Final Rose, Jason admitted that although he felt he made the right choice at the time, with Melissa, he couldn't stop thinking about Molly. He has to end it with Melissa - he said she just isn't the one.

Jason's a dad and he has to be sure he's making the right decision - his choice affects his son, and for most parents, they put their kids first. I'm sure it wasn't easy to propose to one woman, but then realize you've made a mistake. And oh, how the women must feel.

I guess the fans were right! HERE.

So, Jason asked Molly for a second chance and according to his recent interviews, said he IS engaged. Guess we know what happens.

Is this real? Or was this a ratings grab for the network????

I also wonder about his son - he's obviously very young, but is he confused about daddy's choice? I'm sure he was attached to Melissa and now she's gone, and Molly's in her place. For a three-year-old, that's a lot to take in.

Update: New Spoiler! The Bachelor Jason Mesnick Chooses...

Sassy Smith — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 15:04:00 GMT

The Bachelor's Jason Mesnick, has women talking! Fans of the show are very passionate about who they want this hunky single dad to end up with. Will it be Molly or Melissa? Or...could it be someone from his past? If you don't want to know, stop reading now...spoilers ahead!

Spoilers after the jump!!!

*Edit* The show has aired...find out who Jason REALLY chose!! Go HERE!

According to FORT (Fans of Reality TV), they had it all figured out - pictures showed "moles" that supposedly looked like moles on Melissa's arm, thus meaning that she's the one who Jason chose and proposed to. Seems like a done deal right? Not so fast...

DeAnna Pappas made a surprise visit on The Bachelor last week and it caught Jason off guard. He said, "Of course it threw me off. I fell in love with her and I went through my healing process. And she's the last person I expected to see, especially in New Zealand."

Did seeing her bring up old feelings? What a twist that would be if he didn't pick Molly or Melissa and instead went back to DeAnna. But hold on...there's yet another twist/theory:

Jason doesn't go back to DeAnna - he's over her and has moved on, and he doesn't choose Melissa! He chooses Molly! (Okay, I don't watch the show, so I'm only going by what the dedicated fans are saying).

Now, a guy whose blog is Realitv Steve has it all figured out (maybe). He writes, in part:

Jason chose Melissa in New Zealand. No reshoots, no editing, no nothing. All you sleuthers figured it out from Day 1. Which you were supposed to. That’s why I said ABC knew exactly what they were doing when they released the hand with the freckles and the pinky ring and all that stuff. Do you really think they’d make it that easy for you to know he proposes to Melissa in the finale? Just because it was Melissa in New Zealand, didn’t mean you knew the final one now. There’s your love story that they want you to believe. From day one, they’re gonna make it seem like it was Jason and Melissa. She visits him in Seattle. They’re working on a relationship, she’s the lucky girl. But from the beginning, they’ve been planning a shocking ending. And that shocking ending happens to come at the expense of Melissa.

Right now, Jason and Melissa are not together.

So he really ends up with Molly!?

You can watch the videos he's put together here and read more, see for yourself.

Now the question is: Did Jason make the right choice? Will Molly (if he did indeed pick her) make a good step-mom to Jason's 3-year-old son Ty? Is she caring enough to take on that very important role? I know Jason said he's not looking for a mom for Ty (he does have a mother), but the woman that will be his wife, does have to balance being a good role model for his son, without being overbearing and learning to forge her own special relationship with Ty. Is Molly cut out to be a good wife and mother-figure?

"The Bachelor" Jason Mesnick is one of the most well-liked men in the history of the show. It might have something to do with the fact that he's a single father, who is looking for real love, and as he said, not on the show "for helicopter rides," or partying. He has a lot at stake - mostly how this will affect the future of his son Ty, 3.

Mesnick admits he's in this for the long haul and he wants to find true love. Jason said, "I am here to find someone to spend the rest of my life with. This is real. My life is more settled in a lot of ways."

The single dad, who is from Cleveland, Ohio, admits he's found a girl. He was looking for someone who has a curiosity about the world, someone who loves life and can find passion in the smallest moments.

You can go HERE if you want to read a spoiler alert!!!!!!!!!!

Who is YOUR pick? Hopefully, who ever he has chosen, she will be a good role model for his young son and be able to form a bond with the boy.

If you're a fan of The Bachelor, then you're probably hoping Jason Mesnick finds true love. He's a single dad to Ty, 3, and he announced in December, that he's indeed engaged but of course he couldn't reveal who the lucky lady is because the show's season has just started. However, there's one website that has, what they believe, is 'photo evidence' of just exactly who Jason chose to be his bride!

Spoiler after the jump!

According to FORT (fans of reality TV - yes, I had no idea what FORT stood for), where fans are usually correct when they call a winner before it happens, claim to have proof of who Mesnick is engaged to.

The members of this site take their analizing very serious and have captured screen shots of the proposal, and gone over them with a fine-toothed comb.

Second warning: Spoiler below, stop now if you don't want to know!

The photo below shows Jason holding the final rose ceremony winner's hand (and hand has an engagement ring on it's finger). The woman's arm has "unique moles" and they match up with one particular contestant. Stop reading if you don't want to know!

This pattern of moles matches up - according to FORT members - with Melissa the former Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader (shown below).

Now, I don't watch the show and even if I did, I probably wouldn't be bothered counting moles on someone's arm, but to those at FORT who did take the time to do that, awesome.

So, fans of the show, is that who you're wanting Jason to choose? Do they make a good couple? Will she be a good fit with Jason and becoming step-mom to his little boy?

Big News For The Bachelor's Jason Mesnick!

Sassy Smith — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 15:07:00 GMT

Big news for TV reality star, The Bachelor's Jason Mesnick! The new season of the hit ABC show doesn't start until January 5 but single dad Jason is bursting at the seams!

Jason tells PEOPLE, "I'm engaged! I found exactly what I was hoping for, what I was looking for. I'm completely in love."

Fans were heartbroken when Mesnick's marriage proposal to The Bachelorette's DeAnna Pappas was turned down. People were really rooting for the dad of one.

Says Mesnick, "I really did fall in love with DeAnna." DeAnna chose professional snowboarder Jesse Csincsak, but the couple have since split. Jason adds, "I was shocked. I thought they were going to make it."

Jason is ready to be in a committed relationship. He said, "I don't want to be by myself. I'm ready for a relationship and a family."

And when it comes to Ty, Mesnick's 3-year-old son (from his first marriage), the woman he commits to has to realize that his son is number one and it means that she has to form a relationship with the boy.

He said, "I was not looking for a mom. I was looking for a partner for me and a mentor and a friend to Ty."

Jason is thrilled with the changes in his life. "I just really believed this can happen to me. I cannot believe it's this great!"

Although I wasn't a regular watcher of the show, I did catch a couple of episodes and Jason seems like a real sweetheart. Hopefully he and his son will be very happy! And his son is a cutie!

ABC's Bachelor Jason Mesnick Excited

Sassy Smith — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 13:42:00 GMT

ABC's new "Bachelor" Jason Mesnick is looking forward to finding love (hopefully!) on the 13th season (OMG there's been 12 previous ones?) of the show. Mesnick, 32, is a single dad of a 3-year-old son, Ty, and admits he's not been on a date since The Bachelorette, DeAnna Pappas rejected his marriage proposal. But fear not, the attractive father from Seattle, just may find the woman of his dreams (on a TV show *ahem*).

Mesnick tells Us Weekly, "I haven't dated at all since DeAnna. I wanted to give myself time to heal so that when I got out there again I'd be ready to give whoever I am with the respect and attention she deserves." Ya, all 25 of them.

"I am ready. I am open to giving these girls everything I can to find the one that is right for me. All I am missing, really, is someone to share my life with. There's no guarantee but 25 girls? It's a real opportunity to find just one." Yup, after you make out with all of them, you'll be able to narrow it down. There is making out on this show right?

Jason says shortly after the "After The Final Rose Special," he was approached to do The Bachelor by the show's producers. "All I could think was, 'Oh man, I am so excited' - mostly because really I am just the most regular guy you could ever come across and for this to be happening to me is unbelievable. It just leaves me completely speechless."

I don't watch the show, but, uh, good luck Jason - hope you find what you're looking for.

DeAnna Pappas & Jesse Csincsak Expecting Already???!!!

Bachelorette DeAnna Pappas Chooses Jesse Csincsak

Hey Ladies - Bachelorette Reject Jason Mesnick Wants You

Well, at least he wants you on his show. Or at least he does if you're a hot, single woman willing to be humiliated on national TV as you compete against 25 other broads for the affections of a man who will mercilessly reject you and eliminate you from the competition by refusing to hand you a freakin' rose.

Sound like a good time? Then line up, because Jason Mesnick, who was rejected by DeAnna Pappas in the last season of The Bachelorette, has been chosen to star in the 13th season of The Bachelor that begins in January.

Mesnick, a native of Cleveland, is the divorced single father of a three-year-old son, Ty. Judging by the reactions when Pappas chose Jesse Csincsak over Mesnick, there are plenty of women out there who would be happy to accept Jason's red throbbing rose, if you know what I mean.

DeAnna Pappas & Jesse Csincsak Expecting Already???!!!

Sassy Smith — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 16:37:00 GMT

The Bachelorette stars DeAnna Pappas & Jesse Csincsak have set a wedding date! The newly engaged couple plan to marry on May 9, 2009, possibly in the Bahamas - because that's where they say they fell in love. And rumors are swirling that the reality TV couple are already pregnant with their first child!

Let's not get ahead of ourselves (or myself, since I'm the one blabbing the rumor). DeAnna and Jesse do want a family but not quite yet.

Says DeAnna, “I heard that and I thought, maybe I’m putting on some weight, I’m happy and in love. Better get on that treadmill.”

Jesse says of having a family, “We definitely want to have kids. But we want to go and experience our relationship to the fullest before we go and have any little bambinos. We’re going to travel and visit both of our families and take some time to ourselves and enjoy life.”

So there you have it - wedding for next spring and babies someday but not quite yet!

Bachelorette DeAnna Pappas Chooses Jesse Csincsak

Another day, another reality show engagement: In a stunner on the season finale of The Bachelorette, former Bachelor contestant DeAnna Pappas chose snowboarder Jesse Csincsak (pictured on left) over single dad Jason Mesnick. Mesnick, a businessman from Washington and the devoted father to three-year-old Ty was the favorite to win. I never watched the show but even I would have picked Jason over Jesse - I'm not sure I could ever be with a man who stole Tracy Turnblad's hairstyle from Hairspray.

In the tradition of the show, both Bachelors proposed to Pappas, but only Csincsak got an acceptance and the 'final rose.' This means the two are now officially engaged, until they fall out of love or their endorsement and appearance contracts run out, whichever comes first.
