Bachelorette’s Reject Becomes New Bachelor

August 21, 2008

The new season of The Bachelor hasn’t even begun filming yet, but its star already has plenty of experience with rose ceremonies.

ABC has announced that Jason Mesnick — who proposed to DeAnna Pappas on last season’s Bachelorette, only to be rejected — will become the new Bachelor.

This time, the divorced estate planner, 32, will be the one calling the shots in his quest for love.

The single dad (son Ty is 3) already has plenty of admirers. “I’ve gotten thousands of comments from fans,” Mesnick recently told PEOPLE, adding that he’s set up an e-mail account for his female fan mail. “The generosity and the kindness is unbelievable. Every one is so sweet and nice. All the comments are pure love.”

Pappas, for her part, is engaged to Bachelorette winner Jesse Csincsak — and the two are happily planning a May wedding. – Kate Stroup

I am so glad that he was the one chosen! When he dropped to his knee, proposed to Deanna and she turned him down I felt so bad for him!

So cool! I’m happy for Jason. He appears to be such a nice man, and loving father. DeAnna’s lose will be one lucky womens gain. Good Luck!

I wish I were a single girl because Jason is quite the catch. I was so hoping that DeAnna was going to pick him. He is so cute and looks like he is such a wonderful father. I can’t wait to tune in and see what happens. I hope he does find the love he is looking for!

I absolutely loved Jason on the bachelorette and was heartbroken when DeAnna didn’t pick him. I hope that he finds love on this new season. He seems like such a wonderful guy!
