ET online reported the following:

ET breaks the news that Jason Mesnick, 32, will be the next star of “The Bachelor” coming to ABC in January 2009.

Female fans crumbled after he dropped to one knee, proposed marriage and got turned down on the season finale of the latest installment of ABC’s “The Bachelorette.” But now he’ll have another shot at finding true love!

Mesnick, the single dad and Seattle-based account executive, will have another shot at finding love while dating 25 hopeful contestants.

Mesnick is a sports enthusiast who is looking for women with a passion for life.

This is an interesting piece of news since Jason Mesnick was so sad to be away from his son. I wonder if the Bachelor will allow him to bring his son with him to stay with him at night and just have a nanny watch the kid while he goes on his dates. Seems reasonable to me.

It should be interesting to see if Jason Mesnick has the appeal of other bachelors. He’s such a soft spoken guy that will have to see if Jason as Bachelor will make good television or not.

Just watched this, didn’t do anything for me, same old paranoia theme.
The place settings hanging in the air was boring, the ending predictable.
Unless this is up against nothing else I won’t bother because I think it will
get canned like everything else they put on the air.

The people hating on this show are some of the whiniest little hypocrites I’ve
ever heard from…
How many times can you sit there and say “X-Files was such a great show, I wish
it was still around, or at least have another show like it” ??… Then
another show just like it comes out, and all you can say is “this shit is
ripping off the X-Files” ??
Well damn, kids… you can’t have it both ways!

It fills the void X-Files has left behind and bring’s a new sci-fi show to televsion. Unlike show’s like Hero’s and Smallville it doesn’t seem to cross the line to super powers and ends up reminds me more of the movie “The Cell” staring Jennifer Lopez
