Jason Mesnick is the New 'Bachelor'

He’s actually cute, but I question his judgment. This guy has a kid and he is going to leave him alone again for long period of time to do a stupid reality show? Not very responsible. I saw the last few eps of the Bachelor and this guy is more in love with being in love then he was with the woman in question. He seems like he would fall for anybody.

I read that this dope is bisexual!

Maybe he should try men since he doesn’t seem to have any luck with women!!

They should’ve picked Jeremy to do it instead. Jason has a son and it’ll be very embarrassing to grow up knowing that your father intimately kissed over 2 dozen women during the same time on a national TV show that’s looked down upon.

No, I don’t really like this kind of dating show. It always becomes a kind of cattle market, all these women competing over one man.
Even when the man lives in an area like Alaska (as in one dating show) where there a lot more single man than woman, the man still gets to choose. Call me a bluestocking, but I find that sexist.

Besides, I don’t understand why woman want to subject themselves to all that for a guy who already is divorced and has a child. As a stepmother you get loads of extra housework, extra bills to pay and plenty other responsabilities – and zero appreciation.
If he was widowed, I might consider it – but now he is just another guy who should have thought longer and harder about getting married and becoming a father. I know I sound really old-fashioned and judgemental but if you get married and have children you have a responsability, you have to what it takes to make it work. Getting married and getting divorced is just too easy, it seems.
I would much rather be with someone who was never married – no ex-wife to meddle in the relationship.

i like him but i dont think many girls will want to date a guy that has a kid

Thumb up Thumb down 0

ok. big yay. but I wonder how they’ll do it. I’m pretty sure he would want his son involved in the process seeing as the last time they were separated it didn’t work out so well. maybe they’ll film it in Seattle?

Agreed with #15.
Women compete against each other for one divorced man? Those shows are crazy. The first Bachelor show was the guy who chose a 23 year old woman with fake huge breasts over Christa, who later had her own show and found a firefighter. Where is that Bachelor guy now?
Those shows are so fake. No one wants to watch it again. Bad taste it is.

#22, I respect your emotional expression but I think it was a show, not real.
