Song is ..."What About Now" by Daughtry

CJ Sun, Nov 23, 2008 at 10:16 PM EST

Does anyone know who sings the song on the new commercial? "what about love" is the only lyric I could pick up on.

Diana Ziesel Tue, Nov 18, 2008 at 02:19 PM EST

I can't wait for Jason to find the love of his life!! Just because he has a child doesn't mean he has to give up this opportunity to be happy whether it is on TV or in just normal day in, day out persuing. Give him a break - he deserves to be happy!

Tue, Nov 18, 2008 at 02:15 PM EST

Can't wait to watch Jason find the love of his life!! Just because he has a child doen't mean he cannot do this. Give him a break!

Brebee Wed, Nov 5, 2008 at 10:27 PM EST

I am so happy! I love Jason, and was so disapointed when Deanna did not pick him . . . her loss is another girls gain and now I get to see alot more of him which is definatly a bonus. Hopefully he will find love and become the 2nd couple to break the Bachelor curse.

Karen Tue, Nov 4, 2008 at 11:15 PM EST

Yeah for Jason!! A handsome,sweet great guy.So this time I hope he gets whom he deserves so much.As for Deanna,she made a Huge mistake by letting this one go.But you never know,it may not be too late afterall...

Korie Tue, Nov 4, 2008 at 06:46 PM EST

Mary and Byron didn't marry and last that was in the news about them was that she assaulted him one night last year. Not a real good track record for The Bachelor or The Bachelorette relationships.

sally Tue, Nov 4, 2008 at 03:21 PM EST

Someone mentioned that only one relationship has lasted - what about Mary and the bass fisherman? Didn't they marry?

sally Tue, Nov 4, 2008 at 03:05 PM EST

So Deanna and Jesse are history...she probably is sorry she let Jason go. I don't know if she was in it to get hitched...anyway, I thought she should choose Jason.....didn't like Jesse. He was too "hip" for her. He needs a girl more on the wild side. Jason would have been perfect for Deanna, if she was looking for a home life, as she said.

cara Tue, Nov 4, 2008 at 11:43 AM EST

i wanted jason' number after the show. i am glad he will be able to choose a mommy for his son :)

Tess Tue, Nov 4, 2008 at 09:54 AM EST

Just found out about Jason. I've watched most of the shows & I'm really disappointed. Prob won't be watching this x. While he was nice & attractive I also thought he was boring. I was looking forward to someone hot like the last bachelor, the English guy. Actually I wish they just did the Bachelorette shows I like seeing 25 hot guys.

Tue, Nov 4, 2008 at 09:32 AM EST

I Couldn't be more happy!!! I was praying they would ask him to do it. He is so adorable and totally deserves a great girl! I hope it works out for him!

Cheryl Fri, Oct 3, 2008 at 12:27 AM EST

I'm soooo glad to see that it's Jason. My 32yr. old daughter adored him & his lil boy. I think deanna made a good choice for her & now I look forward to watching him. Jason, choose carefully.

Petrina Mon, Sep 15, 2008 at 09:41 PM EST

I wonder if he would fall in love with a big beautiful woman?!? I'm glad he's going up for a second chance. I think he and his son deserve a second chance at love. He seems like he could be a very loving, affectionate, fun husband. It is definitely apparent he is a good father.

Susie Sport Tue, Sep 9, 2008 at 07:14 PM EST

This is a response to an extremely racist Telley B
Telley B said " Surely this is a ground-breaking moment in the history of TV, for the first time, we have a caucasian Bachelor!!!

In all seriousness...another blandly atractive, vapid, dull white guy gets the chance to do this.

There's no way that there aren't atractive, relatively wealthy or comfortably employed black, latino and Asian men applying for this show.
Will ABC ever have the balls to choose some color for this hopelessly bland show???"

Only in America can the Caucasian Americans be discriminated against and no one thinks anything about it. All hell would break out if I were to make acomment about Think about this comment you made: In all seriousness...another blandly atractive, vapid, dull white guy gets the chance to do this. All hell would break out if I said this, but inserted black, latino, or Asian instead of white. If you're treated so poorly here why don't you leave and find someone else to cry to.

Susie Sport Tue, Sep 9, 2008 at 06:48 PM EST

I can not believe Deana didn't pick you! It just shows she doesn't deserve someone as wonderful as you! I won't feel sorry for her if it doesn't work out for her & Jessie. I was shocked that he made it past the 1st rose ceremony..and then when he made it to the final 3 I was even more SHOCKED! Actually, I can not believe he made it on the show period! I also feel bad for Jeremy. You and Jeremy were my FAVORITES!

i love jason! i'm glad he gets his own show and i hope he finds love!! but if you can't wait until january for more jason...check him out here!

kate Mon, Aug 25, 2008 at 11:12 PM EST

Jason has such a bad record in choosing a life partner--always on the list of rejection. Maybe the Bachelor should suggest a new twist: let Tye and his Mom be on the show and in charge of giving out the roses. Jason cannot keep a job and is only on the show to make money and look for a wife who will support him. Truly is the Biggest Loser.

Tania Sun, Aug 24, 2008 at 02:46 PM EST

I was so happy to hear that Jason was the next bachelor. I love him!!!!!! I still can't believe Deanna chose "Joey Gladstone", she lost out by not picking Jason he was a great catch and any girl who gets him is lucky.

kenny Sun, Aug 24, 2008 at 12:54 PM EST

poor jason is so gay he's fighting it very well. come on people looke at him yes he's a great guy but he's gay.. did you see the way he ran on the last show "broken wrist" total gay features and moves.. just my opinion

j Fri, Aug 22, 2008 at 05:43 PM EST

I am a single mom with a teenage son and I have a healthy adult life and started a relationship with my significant other while raising my son BUT I did not involve my kid until I was as sure as I could be about my significant other. You leave your kid out while you're "shopping." And given the Bachelor's success rate, getting a kid attached to someone and then breaking up with them can have disasterous results on the kid. THAT'S what we're saying. Multiply that by the fact that you're subjecting your kid to a reality TV show...

mijd Fri, Aug 22, 2008 at 01:08 PM EST

I am estatic about Jason being chosen for the next season of The Bachelor!! I also picked him from the start to win and I nominated him for the upcoming season.Too bad the show doesn't start this Monday!! Don't worry Jason! Things will work out either way!! Don't stress over all the haters out there....relationships do work even when there are children involved...I had one child and my husband had one child when we joined together 8 years ago! Good luck and God Bless!

msnemaph Fri, Aug 22, 2008 at 10:56 AM EST

So basically what most of you are saying is as long as you're a parent you must 1.wait til your child/children are grown-up to let someone into your life or 2.just totally give up because you have had your chance?? Are you guys crazy?? I think that's a very selfish, for both mothers and fathers. Their lives don't stop just because they have children and this coming from a 37yr. old woman who don't have children. Hell if there was rules based on everything in your past determining if you should be allowed to meet and possibly spend your life with another person...NO ONE WOULD BE ALLOWED TO DATE!! Jason appears to be a very down-to-earth person who is taking on the responsibility of raising a son (which I commend highly) and he happens to be ready for some companionship. So rather he met her by chance in a grocery store, baseball game or a dating show..I really don't think it would make much of a difference.

Marla Fri, Aug 22, 2008 at 10:52 AM EST

With Jason as The Bachelor, it's going to be an interesting season and I'm really looking forward to it. As the weeks go, eventually Ty should be involved in the process, as any child would be when his/her parent is dating someone, but the timing of his involvement has to be well thought out. First and foremost, Jason needs the chance to weed out the weirdos, really get to know the candidates who have serious potential, then slowly introduce Ty into the mix...well, as slowly as reality TV will allow. I do hope he finds the right one this time. Best of luck to you, Jason!

melinda Fri, Aug 22, 2008 at 08:02 AM EST

graham? what about graham?

Ashley Fri, Aug 22, 2008 at 01:43 AM EST

I think Jason is the perfect choice for The Bachelor. I wish his season aired before January though.

Ashley Fri, Aug 22, 2008 at 01:42 AM EST

vecchio Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 11:38 PM EST

It's bad enough that this show makes a mockery of love and committed relationships, but now a guy is dragging his young into the mess? Forcing him to interact with the typical trashy women on this show? It's cruel to do that to a child when it likely won't work out. And has it escaped everyone attention that it doesn't work to have 25 women chasing one man? Biologically, it should be the other way around. This is why you had a marriage and an engagement (which seems to have "taken") on the Bachelorette. If the producers really wanted lasting relationships, they would stick with the Bachelorette and stop with the stupid Bachelor concept.

Ellen Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 11:24 PM EST

If Jason is willing to put himself out there again, so be it. Hope springs eternal and the show is grueling for him to make difficult decisions and be on top of his game at all times. I think the bachelorettes should all reside in the same State as the bachelor in order to give the ultimate couple a better chance of a successful relationship when the show is over.

Babywood Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 11:23 PM EST

I am so happy Jason will be the next Bachelor! So what if he is divorced and has a son, any woman applying for or going on the show has the prior knowledge of this or they must be from another planet. I married my husband knowing he had two children and I loved them in the beginning because they were a part of him and later because they were also mine. Also, I was only 23 years old , never married and no children ! Ty does not have to be a part of the show in any way unless that is what Jason wants, I am sure this has been discussed with not only the show, but the mother of Ty as well. As for Jason leaving his son again, he does not have to leave him, this time with him somewhat in control, Ty could be available at all times to be with his dad. If it works for him this time it will be great, if not, is it any different than meeting someone in the "appropriate" manner and it NOT working out? For those who think it is terrible for him to do the show, I ask this, would it be acceptable for him to hang out at bars and meet women as so many single dads across America do? Who is anyone to judge for anyone else what is the acceptable manner of meeting someone? Just because this is what Jason wants to do it does not make him a bad father, more fathers should be in their sons life as he is with his. If anyone does not want to see Jason as the next bachelor, then hit the remote and change the channel, it's just that easy!

adrien Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 10:51 PM EST

This man is NOT a bachelor...he is a divorced man with a child! He shouldn't have been on the last show if they had any Rules. Now you expect some woman with a big heart to accept someone else's kid? If you're going to shock contestants with divorced people and also kid's yet, you need to make the show with a Correct Title because this show has a Phoney Title. The Rules are Bent too much. Consider Brad this time.

j Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 10:21 PM EST

wow...involve your 3 year old in your love life...I guess we can agree to disagree

Rachel Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 08:31 PM EST

As for the comments about Jason being a "bad father" for seperating himself from his son, Ty, again.... who is to say that Ty won't be on the show? They could do some kind of a twist where Ty comes half way through the season and meets the girls and, in some way, helps Jason choose. My sister and I picked Jason from the very beginning and thought that he and Deanna were perfect together. Turns out that Jason is too good for her. I am so glad I get to see him find a girl all over again, and my sister and I will be living vicariously through the women on the show.

Cristin Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 07:09 PM EST

I'm very glad it was jason they picked, i didn't like any of the other guys. he's true and really puts his heart out there...way to go jason. good luck in january and i'll be watching and being your biggest fan. don't worry about ty, he'll be just fine why u r away. don't listen to other people follow your heart and do what's best for the both of you.

Jean Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 06:52 PM EST

How the heck can you call the guy a good dad when he's chosing to separate himself from his kid again to go on a dating show which has dismal success rate at best. Let alone what the publicity the kid will be subjected to. If he's such a great catch, he could find wonderful women in less obtrusive ways. He's thinking only of himself, not his kid.

san diego guest Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 06:48 PM EST

Will he really connect with the group of young, sexy, shallow women that they always chose? I doubt it. Those ladies want a hunk, not a man-boy. I suggest that the show macho's him up a little before they throw him into that group.

JAN Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 05:29 PM EST

I'm so glad to learn that Jason has been selected to be the new season's bachelor. I really think he is the "total package".....intelligent, good looking, a loving father, a genuine nice guy. I'm reminded of the old saying - "if at first you don't succeed, try try again". So, I'm wishing Jason success in finding that special someone among the new group of women he will be meeting. PLEASE ABC.....screen the women carefully.....NO MORE SHANA AIRHEADS OR TRASH-TALKING FEMALES WITH NO CLASS. A guy like Jason deserves better. Looking forward to January '09.....BEST OF LUCK JASON!!

Super Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 03:52 PM EST

This show is still on? YAWN!!!

bfan Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 03:35 PM EST

I don't get why the Bachelor/Bachelorette gets so much trash talk for being 'unsuccessful', or why some of the comments have said its stupid and no one should expect to find love there blah blah blah....I really like the show, I think that most people on it seem really sincere in their quest to find The One, and I don't think very many people in real life end up married to the first person they claimed to be 'in love' with, either, so cut these folks some freakin slack. I mean, if I married the first guy I just KNEW was The One, I'd be married to the dude I started dating as a 14 year old high school freshman. Face it, MOST relationships, whether they met on TV or eHarmony or the local bar, end up splitting up, and I think all the Bachelor haters out there are, for some reason that totally eludes me, trying to hold those people up to a higher standard than the one afforded everyone else. So what I'm saying is, get over yourselves. Its as valid a way to meet someone as anything else.

Gary Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 02:52 PM EST

In addition to the beautiful prospective women, they should add a couple of prospective men, just in case.

Beth Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 02:37 PM EST

I'm so excited for him, but they way the odds are, he'll meet someone and eventually break up, just like everyone else...Don't get me wrong, I loved Jason, and felt horrible for him, but the likilhood that he'll find the right girl is slim. You never know though! I'll definitely be watching.

wildecat Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 01:44 PM EST

Considering the "quality" of the women who do these shows, I cannot believe that this guy thinks he can find a decent stepmom for his son this way. "Hey Ty - maybe this one will be your new Mommy! Or THIS one... or THIS one... or maybe that hot one over there...."
Ewwwww....

booforthis Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 01:39 PM EST

He's a dweeb.

Angela Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 01:30 PM EST

I love Jason and am so glad that he dodge the Deanna bullet (so did Jeremy and Brad, for that matter). While I will definitely watch in hopes that he finds real love, I am kinda sad that he wasnt able to dodge the Mike Fleiss bullet.

CK'D Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 01:20 PM EST

Just don't have any SHAYNE LAMAS types on the show - PLEASE!

Sharon Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 01:01 PM EST

I'am glad that he is getting another chance to find love he is so cute.I thought that he should have won last time. I don't think she picked the right one that fit her!!!!!!!!! Good luck and I know you will find the right one for you.

Lila Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 01:00 PM EST

I think it is kind of sad that Jason now feels that he has to go back on tv to find love. First off, he more than likely has to leave his son again, and secondly, how many times has it worked out on the bachelor?? There is Ryan and Trista (yeah) and well that's about it (for marriage). Also, Jason has only been divorced since February of this year (2008). Why rush trying to find someone to marry you?? I don't get it. I wish him all the best, I really do, I just think he should focus on his son and not so much on a reality tv show.

m Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 12:36 PM EST

Speaking as a stepmom to a wonderful little boy... it takes a LOT more than a handful of group dates to build a successful relationship with a single Dad AND his son. It's not a process that can be rushed. This has disaster written all over it.

Michael Martinello Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 12:36 PM EST

I'm really upset they didn't go with Rob the Chef from San Fransisco. He was so nice to Deanna. I would have hoped they could have done a TV Food segment where he was with the ladies but also taught everyone a recipie each week. That would have been nice. I've been desiring his lump meat crab dip ever since that first episode. Yummy...

John Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 12:30 PM EST

I actually said "hooray" out loud when I read this headline! I hadn't watched "The Bachelor" or "The Bachelorette' in years, but I watched the first episode this past season and was totally smitten by Jason. One minute after he was introduced on the season premiere, I turned to partner and said, "Wow. He's going to win. Do they even make gay guys like that?" Of course, I'm totally happy with my man, but still ... Anyway, good for him. I hope he breaks the curse and finds lasting love with a great woman. Incidentally, I think the fact that Jason has a son (and one to whom he is totally committed) adds a unique dynamic to the show. It will probably keep the fame-desiring crazies away and attract women who are not only interested in Jason, but also in having a family right away.

Lynn Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 12:21 PM EST

I am a huge fan of The Bachelor. So sad to see Jason passed over. What a great guy!!! I would choose him and his darling little boy for my daughter any time. I hope he finds the woman who will appreciate him for who he is. Looking forward to the next season!

PG Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 12:10 PM EST

Where do I sign up to become one of the women?!?!

Miss M Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 12:05 PM EST

Thrilled that Jason is the next Bachelor! LOVED him! I hope he finds "her" and I sincerely hope ABC doesn't pick a bunch of blonde bimbos for him! If I was 10 years younger I'd apply! Must see TV for me in January.

Fletch Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 11:40 AM EST

"I love my 8 cats and 3 dogs, that is true love. I feed them, bathe with them, sleep with them, etc."

I don't want to assume that you were joking with that comment. So I'll just say "to each his own"...

Redeye Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 11:31 AM EST

It will nice to see Jason get his chance for love and happiness. I would have also liked to see Jeremy return as well. Maybe Jason got more fan mail, and I think that Jeremy really only wanted DeAnna. I think he is too serious to be open to this process again. I always enjoy the return of someone for "round 2" I already know who they are, and it seems as though they really want to meet someone. Of course, it did not work out for Jenn Sheft. But, it worked out for Trista and DeAnna. I prefer to see more "Bachelorette" episodes than "Bachelor", but watching a nice guy like Jason will be very enjoyable. Good for him--he is going to try again right away. He will be in control , and will have many women to choose from. Also, obviously all of the female participants know that he has a child, and maybe some of them will be single parents as well. I wish him good luck and I will be watching!!

Kassy Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 11:25 AM EST

Jason, if it doesn't work out for you this time, give me a call.

djm Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 11:07 AM EST

Why do they keep doing this lame show? Not one of the couples have lasted and it's just lame. If these people were so great wouldn't they be able to find a relationship in the real world? This show is so stupid - stop watching it ladies - go buy yourself a romance novel and read instead.

Michael Martinello Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 10:45 AM EST

Thank you Fletch, but you know- as I sit here and write this- no one cares about me and my feelings. Why should I invest so much time into a show only to have my heart broken again, and again. You watch these kids "fall" in love when they don't even know what love is. I love my 8 cats and 3 dogs, that is true love. I feed them, bathe with them, sleep with them, etc. You just can't know what true love is after 3 weeks.

Fletch Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 10:42 AM EST

Michael Martinello basically summed up why I hate these shows.

If the people actually go on there looking for love, they are unstable. But, more often than not, they are usually people with "star aspirations". They want to be seen, they want to make some industry connections, and they want to be famous.

The whole premise sham, and so many people buy into it. They think it's real and that it matters. It doesn't. It's all a joke.

I'd rather spend my television time watching something that was actually written by real writers and performed by real actors.

Michael Martinello Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 10:22 AM EST

Jason was a complete jerk to Deanna at the "After The Rose" show. He's full of sour milk... Just get over her ya big dummy. You knew her for what? 3 weeks??? What kind of connection can you make in 3 weeks? None of these relationships last, rumor has it that Jesse and Deanna are done- broken up, finished, QUE PUTZ?

skittles 575 Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 10:15 AM EST

I wonder how much Jason is paid to go be the next bachelor!

SLB Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 10:15 AM EST

This will be the most boring season ever.

Fletch Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 09:43 AM EST

"FLETCH- how bout you get a life if you haet the show so much why waste your time commenting on it, obviously you care or u wouldnt take the time to complain, u probably havent missed an episode"

Yes, because I have an extra five minutes in my day to rip that show (I hate all reality shows, by the way), that means I have no life. Nice observation, you tool.

Instead of posting your rebuttal, why don't you go take and English class? You obviously could use some help with spelling, apostrophe use, and sentence structure.

Sue Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 09:27 AM EST

I think Jason is adorable with a lot to offer. I will definetely watch. I have been married for 26 years and think everyone deserves this kind of happiness. DeAnna just lost out on a great guy.

To Jen who said that the show always goes to the reject pool to get the next bachelor or bachelorette I can only say... Maybe you should go on the show. YOU ARE SURE TO BE REJECTED from the start and then maybe they will give you a turn!

Jess Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 09:17 AM EST

So... is Ty moving into the mansion with him??

cartblanche Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 09:15 AM EST

Minorities have tv shows, all kinds of media, social and cultural recognition that caucasions don't. Our schools are fraught with minority educators that cant teach, are obvioulsy prejudiced, but can get an EOE job. Why can't the Caucasion population enjoy their tv reality shows? Doesnt BET or the Hispanic Channel have similar shows? How many caucasion shows do these channels promote? ABC hasnt shied away from minority or foreign contestants.

sam Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 09:03 AM EST

Jason is like everyone else trying to find love, he has to take risks and put his heart out there. I realize he has a son but even if he finds love elsewhere there is always a chance Ty can get hurt. He is still young and he will forget more than his father will. Give him a break he seems to be in it for all the right reasons. Deanna made her choice now he trying to make his. Good Luck Jason i will be watching and praying for you and Ty. Sam

Dee Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 08:59 AM EST

Hey!! Dawn (comments below) is right. It would be great if little TY was somehow (appropriately) added to the "mix" - - somehow, at times, a part of the show.

Dee Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 08:56 AM EST

Deena was nuts not to pick this sweetheart of a guy!! I'm watching this season to see who the lucky girl will be. I wish Jason much luck and happiness!!

Jen Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 08:36 AM EST

Why do they even bother announcing the "Want to nominate the next Bachelor or Bachelorette? Call..." They keep picking from the same pool of rejects they use over and over. Every bachelorette had been on a previous season. Stupid...

Telley B Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 08:33 AM EST

Surely this is a ground-breaking moment in the history of TV, for the first time, we have a caucasian Bachelor!!!

In all seriousness...another blandly atractive, vapid, dull white guy gets the chance to do this.

There's no way that there aren't atractive, relatively wealthy or comfortably employed black, latino and Asian men applying for this show.
Will ABC ever have the balls to choose some color for this hopelessly bland show???

Ceballos Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 08:33 AM EST

Touche, Caleb

RLS Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 08:31 AM EST

Does anyone think there will EVER be a nonwhite bachelor? Anyone at all?

Dawn Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 08:12 AM EST

Darn! I want to date him! He's adorable! I don't think he should go on the show with his child though. I think that is going to be hard on Ty.

jones Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 07:59 AM EST

Jason seemed nice enough, but it gives me pause that given the track record of the shows that someone with a kid would think it is a good place to meet a future wife.

Born In Vermont Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 07:31 AM EST

GetReal: I'm assuming you mean Trista and Ryan?

Anne Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 05:58 AM EST

SWEET! I will love to watch this!

GetReal Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 05:35 AM EST

So far only one relationship has lasted from the bachelor series Trisan and Dan. Jason is going to take those odds at the expense of his son? Should we want him to? Is this so we can get a little titilation from watching his dating life?? I think we need to get real and leave kids out of our "fun". If his dad can choose for him , we as the public should.

GetReal Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 05:30 AM EST

I dont hate Jason. My feelings are for the welfare of his son and for network televison to do what is right for a child. I dont care if he's cute, or nice. Stay home, take care of your son and date locally. When his son is old enough to understand where dad is, then his dad can get his 15 minutes of fame in front of the camera. Maybe his son can actually see his dad this year.

Lauren Kaminski Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 02:16 AM EST

I knew this was coming!:) Yes he's the right man to be the next Bachelor. There will be one lucky lady.
This is so awesome!

Heather Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 02:01 AM EST

Yup. I knew he would be a perfect choice for the next season. I was rootin' for him, so I'll tune in!

astrochicks.com Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 01:43 AM EST

My prediction is this will be the most popular season yet. He's a doll and Ty will steal the show. So awesome!

Lola Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 01:16 AM EST

Wow...lots of judgmental assumptions here amongst all the Jason-haters. Here's an idea: don't like? don't watch. We don't know that Jason will or will not have his kid on the show; heck, we can't assume that they won't shoot the show in Seattle (which would be great - I live here!) so he wouldn't have to leave town. Like I said, if you don't like him, wait until the next go-round. Some of us are looking forward to this as he seems like a nice, decent guy with lots of character.

Dottie Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 01:14 AM EST

I couldn't be happier for Jason and Ty. Jason deserves nothing but the best. I hope all the ladies out there applying are dedicated for all the right reasons and not for 15 minutes of TV time. They must love sports and doing new things together with J- and Ty..He is truely a wonderful father and family man.

sarah Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 01:09 AM EST

I am very happen for Jason that he was chosen to be the next Bachelor, he caught my eye right from the start on the Bachelorette and I felt so bad for him that D chose Jesse, but I just hope that he can truly find a good and honest woman on the Bachelor.... we all know that most of the relationships don't last. I just hope that doesn't happen to him because he deserves better. Good Luck Jason!

surfergirl577 Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 12:20 AM EST

Oh brother. I will not be watching because I got more than enough of Jason last season. He was very annoying.

Carrie Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 12:00 AM EST

He was the clear winner in my eyes anyway! I can't wait to see who the lucky girl will be....choose wisely Jason.

GetReal Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 11:23 PM EST

If the tv show is going to pimp the cute son, shame on them all!! the child should not even be on tv much less meet any of the women until his father has found someone real. Why put any child through the adult dating process. Like I said..a schmuck.

Stephen Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 11:21 PM EST

There are acutally more people who are excited about this rather than haters.

Ricky Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 11:15 PM EST

Wow, check out all the haters. Yalls some bitter beeyotches. You know ABC is gonna pimp that kid. He will be on set at all times so that he approves of he women and they can milk that "awww" factor.

Ranz Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 11:13 PM EST

I wonder how much more hair he will have lost this season.

FC Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 11:11 PM EST

I'm sure his son will be thrilled to have his dad gone for so long again. If this guy's so great, why does he need a TV show to find a date? Cuz he's a selfish TV Star Wannabe.

GetReal Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 11:07 PM EST

This is the same Jason who was bothered about leaving his son for so long last season. So now he is going to leave him again. Boy, what a Great Father. If everyone hates Libra on Big Brother 10 for leaving her kids, Jason is a smuck for doing it twice.:(

Lila Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 11:05 PM EST

Birds of a feather. He's boring, you're boring . . . .

Cathi Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 10:48 PM EST

HEY ALL! REMEMBER MY NAME! JASON & I WILL BE ON THE FINALE SHOW TOGETHER NEXT YEAR! YOU'LL SEE!!!!!

denise Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 10:41 PM EST

caleb Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 10:20 PM EST

jason is not white he's jewish, ceballos.

aimee osicki Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 10:07 PM EST

I'm very happy for Jason. He seems like a great, upstanding man and deserves a good woman to love and to love him! And Ty is certainly a cutie pie too!

Andrew Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 10:05 PM EST

That's not funny Brian.

bryan Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 10:03 PM EST

hi i think abc need s a gay bachelor because we need it.

Julia Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 10:02 PM EST

Ellen DeGeneres actually made this call during an interview with Deanna many, many weeks ago. She told Deanna that if Jason wasn't her pick then he should be the next bachelor.

J-Glo Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 09:54 PM EST

How exciting for Jason!!! He is such a great catch!!! I pray He gets the right girl this time and can't wait to see him again in 2009. Hallelujah!!!!

Lila Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 09:54 PM EST

Jason is SO BORING. No personality at all.

AR Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 09:48 PM EST

That Deanna was BANANAS - Jason was the catch of the season, so hopefully he will find something true and real on the show. Who knows if that actually can happen - aside from Trista and Ryan, has the show actually made a genuine, long-term match? Anyway...hope it works out for him. It would be even better if ABC started shooting this show in HD - He would be AMAZINGLY beautiful in HD - even more so than he already is!

Joel Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 09:43 PM EST

Are people really surprised by this? I didn't even pay attention to the show until the last half hour of the series and knew he would be the next one. You must be an idiot to have not seen what ABC was doing.

RENEE Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 09:02 PM EST

WOOOHOOOOO SO SUPER EXCITED FOR JASON I LOVED HIM FROM THE MOMENT HE STEPED OUT OF THE LIMO AND I SOOO THOUGHT HE WOULD WIN HE WON MY HEART TO BAD I AM MARRIED :( SO EXCTIED FOR JASON AND THIS TIME ITS HIS TURN TO PICK GOOD LUCK JASON AND CHOOSE WISELY..

Betty Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 09:00 PM EST

I'm happy that Jason is the next Bachelor. I do hope that the women who apply for the show are prepared to become a mother.

Staci Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 08:54 PM EST

I saw this coming and I am so excited, I fell in love with him the first night and cheered him on. What a great man who so represents himself as he is. I hope they do choose some single mothers who also share the same values as he has. Not just a bunch of made it bimbos, Jason is not that type. GO JASON, Cant wait til 2009!

Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 08:47 PM EST

I dont wanna see the Jason/Ty show. I prefer a hunk of stuff like Jeremy!

Amy Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 08:39 PM EST

I can't wait to watch this episode. I really wished jason would have been the last one standing, but it wasn't meant to be. I hope he finds the one that will complete his family and make both him and Ty happy.

heather Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 08:26 PM EST

YAY!! im so happy for him! he definitely deserves it! i can not WAIT to watch this!

Laura Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 08:03 PM EST

YAY JASON! I absolutely adored him and wish he'd gotten his happily ever after. Who knows, maybe this will work out for him :)

Earthluver Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 08:02 PM EST

This will be a nice change. I hope they choose the women wisely and maybe a mom or 2 !!

Janeway Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 07:48 PM EST

I will definitely watch. I have met Jason and I know his family. He is a very sweet guy and a great father. I hope it works out for him this time.

cb Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 07:20 PM EST

with a kid involved I hope they let Jason pre-screen his future-suitors (or suitees?). :-)

Maria Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 07:13 PM EST

Good for Jason! He's a really nice guy and a great family man. I'm excited to see how he does on the show.

Corran Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 07:02 PM EST

Well deserved Jason! Jason was the most popular male contestant on a Bachelorette show ever and he totally deserves this!!! Ty and him need a stable mom to certify their family setting. I wish Jason all the best!

D Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 06:56 PM EST

FLETCH- how bout you get a life if you haet the show so much why waste your time commenting on it, obviously you care or u wouldnt take the time to complain, u probably havent missed an episode

BA Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 06:49 PM EST

I am totally happy about this. While it seemed like Deanna wasn't ready for what he had to offer, I thought he was a truly genuine, stand-up guy. I am psyched to see him as happy as Deanna!

Stephanie T. Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 06:34 PM EST

If Rob Lowe and Steve Carell could genetically have a son, he'd look like the guy above.

Ceballos Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 06:28 PM EST

So "The Bachelor" is another pseudo generic-looking white dude with dark hair. In a related story, the sky is blue.

JS Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 06:03 PM EST

I feel sorry for his son who'll at the very least will be separated from his only parent again. Of course, the show will probably trot him out for display at every opportunity. Poor thing!

thad Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 05:51 PM EST

whoo-hoo!! great news. He is the ONLY reason I watched the Bachelorette. Now its his turn

Kai- Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 05:37 PM EST

This show is STILL on?

Fletch Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 05:26 PM EST

Thoughts? Comments? Yeah, okay. I've got some. I think everyone that has ever appeared on any season of The Bachelor/Bachelorette needs to taken into the street and shot - right on TV for all of America to see. That way these shallow, souless, attention-hungry losers in our country will wake up and think twice about participating in something so stupid.
