My pick for BachelorJason Mesnick, Jillian Harris, got kicked to the curb by Jason because the romantic connection was not there. Boo hiss. And even though I was sad that he did not choose her and chose the douchey route, in the back of my mind I knew that the possibility of Jillian getting the Bachelorette gig was great. Good news is…the beotch got the gig. HOLLA!
“I’m a very lucky person. I’ve been a huge fan of the show since day one, and I’ve always looked at The Bachelorette as, ‘Oh my god, they’re so lucky, how did they get there?’ And now I’m sitting here—it’s very surreal.”
“I guess the only thing I fear is that I hope I make the right choice the first time. The only other fear that I have is that I do not need my dad to see any more hot tub scenes…I have not lived that one [with Jason] down.”
“Although I know there are no guarantees, it is a great, great opportunity for me to meet 25 guys that are a good match for me, and I fell in love once before and know that this is a great venue for me to fall in love again.
“It’s one of those things that, you have to be realistic, it’s a very unorthodox way to find love. But we are living in a world where people do things differently and there’s Internet dating and there’s blind dating, but there’s something really magical about ABC finding girls like us that were great for Jason and allowing us to get to know each other so quickly.”
Let’s hope that if Jason and Molly don’t work out that he won’t come crawling back to Jillian on the season finale with his indecisiveness and his dink dangling between his legs.
It’s coming…the Bachelor finale! Woot, woot! For those of you who are following this reality show faithfully, there is a big fat twist coming to this ending…deemed as the most DRAMATIC Bachelor finale ever. Sounds pretty intense. Hmmm…whomever you wish to see Jason Mesnick with, Jason doesn’t give a rat’s ass…he tells People.com that he indeed is in love. Peep the interview that Jason shared with People.
Have you found The One?
I have found the one. I am in love, without a doubt. I do see her as the one I want to marry and spend the rest of my life with. Everyone has been through ups and down in their life, and there are no guarantees when talking about love. I am living proof. I got married before and thought I’d be with her until death do us part, but we all know how that worked out. That said, I am very much in love and very hopeful.
Many fans were quite surprised not to see Jillian in the final two. Elaborate on what went wrong.
There is nothing wrong with Jill. She’s incredible. But in the end, I saw Jill as that ultimate friend, my best friend forever. I couldn’t see it going past that. We both talked about being able to marry your best friend but it has to be more than that. You have to have that spark and passionate connection. There is some of that with her, as witnessed in the hot tub scene, but it was not the kind that would last forever.
Stephanie and Jillian were fan favorites in the way that you were. Do you think they would make good choices for the next Bachelorette?
Without a doubt they’d be great. If I was sitting in the producer’s chair right now, I would be hard-pressed to chose just one of them. There’s Stephanie with her story and how giving she is and how strong. And Jill was the backbone of the girls here. If I were in charge, I would have two simultaneous Bachelorette seasons going at the same time. Two mansions side by side, 50 guys, two girls. I think maybe they could work out twofer deals on helicopters.
How do you feel about how you navigated the show?
I built a relationship with all these girls. Some of them I expect to be in my life beyond the show. I think Ty and Sophia would be great playdates. But I think I was in this for the right reasons and I wanted to find my wife. I wouldn’t even have come here if I wasn’t over DeAnna.
Speaking of DeAnna, why does she appear in the finale?
Well I can’t tell you that, of course. Fans will have to wait and see. I was really surprised when she showed up in New Zealand. It would have been one thing if I was hanging out in Atlanta, but she had to go across an ocean to get to me. I had just heard a couple of weeks before that she and Jesse had broken up and that surprised me.
So you were surprised to hear she and Jesse didn’t make it?
Yeah. I thought they were in love and legitimately happy. I really thought they were going to make it — that helped me get over her, as a matter of fact.
What do you see in the remaining two women?
Melissa is really that ultimate woman that is going to stand by your side forever. She’s fun. She’s beautiful and exciting and willing to try new things. Molly is the balance of a lot of different things. We have a great friendship going. There’s passion there. She’s got her eyes wide open to the world. They are both amazing — to use my favorite word — which made for a very, very tough decision.
We cannot wait to see what happens! What do YOU think will happen?
