Ok, I don’t usually blog about the Bachelor (well I’ve done a little in the past), but there’s just too much to say after tonight’s show. I was going to send a few tweets, but that just wouldn’t do it justice. I also think that my opinions will likely differ from many other people. So, here we go.

Vienna – I can see why all the girls hate her, but I don’t. I’m with Jake. She’s just totally misunderstood. The girls were ripping her when she was going to say sorry to Elizabeth for cutting in. Sure, I’m sure she’s said some things that could hurt, but I think it was usually unintentional. Maybe I’m biased because Vienna is like myself. We live in the moment and often don’t realize the impact that living that way has on people around us. Now, I would never become as Catty (how do you spell that?) as Vienna sometimes gets, but the girls in the house are crazy. Vienna’s good in my book.

Ali – I really adored Ali after the first date. She has a fantastic look and has that twinkle in the eye which I honestly don’t see in any of the other girls. I don’t know how to explain it. She was just made for TV I think. She has a way that just draws you to her when she’s on screen. However, she really rubbed me wrong when she went after Vienna like that and even to Jake. I actually hate when any of the girls talk to the Bachelor about the other girls. It’s just lame. Sometimes maybe it’s cutting and we don’t see Jake asking them about a girl. However, Ali has done it over and over again with Vienna. I think they were right when they say she’s jealous. Jake will have a rough time with that if he picks her. Too bad since she’s got such a great look. He’ll keep her around for a while though. So, no worries for our entertainment value.

Elizabeth – This girl was a tease. Let’s be honest here. If she didn’t want him to kiss him, then she shouldn’t have tempted him. That’s the epitome of a tease. Jake did right in sending her home. No guy likes to be teased. Plus, in the interview we saw her true side come out. She’s an arrogant girl. Glad she was sent home. Nice read by Jake.

Gia – She’s the absolute dark horse. Don’t be surprised at all if she’s in it near the end. Although, she won’t actually win. Otherwise, the show would have likely given her more air time I think.

Best Cry Moment on Bachelor – Yes, I’m a man and I’m willing to admit that I cry watching TV and movies. I’m ok with it. However, everyone reading this should have cried as well. I don’t really cry watching the Bachelor. However, there’s one moment on many of the Bachelors that I can’t help it. No, it’s not a wheepy bawling sort of cry. I just can’t hold the emotions back when one of the people’s kids comes running out to surprise them. It’s my favorite moment on any Bachelor. There’s just something extremely beautiful about those moments. In fact, it might be the most factual emotion that’s portrayed on any part of the Bachelor.

Remind me not to watch the Bachelor next season;-)

BuddyTV is located close to where Jason lives and so Jason Mesnick stopped by their office for an interview. Check out this video of Jason Mesnick well after the rose ceremony.

Jason and Molly are riding off into The Bachelor sunset. We’ll hear about them one more time when they break up in a few months. However, for those who love the Bachelor series, they announced that Jillian Harris will be on the next season of The Bachelorette.

The Bachelorette will premiere on May 18th. Pretty quick turnaround for the show, but The Bachelor is right up there with reality TV shows like Survivor and Amazing Race. It’s been going on for a long time and doesn’t show much sign of slowing.

I think Jillian Harris will be pretty interesting, but I’m not sure I’m going to watch it. We’ll have to see what other shows are on at the same time.

Either way, please let me know if you know of any Bachelorette spoilers from season 5 of the Bachelorette.

We previously reported that Jason Mesnick would be returning to the Bachelor/Bachelorette enterprise, but this time as the bachelor handing out the roses. Reality TV spoilers has a little bit of a Bachelor spoiler per People Magazine which says that Jason Mesnick is engaged after the filming of this season of the Bachelor.

“I’m engaged! I found exactly what I was hoping for, what I was looking for. I’m completely in love.” – Jason Mesnick

Looks like Bachelor fans will really enjoy this season with Jason finding love.

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.
