The Bachelor: Jason Mesnick (Season 13)

Does anyone else think it's weird that not even Melissa's friends know her parents?

I realize this could be a couple of things.... like maybe her friends aren't from the area? (For example, my college friends have never met my parents b/c my 'rents live 7 hours away and they pretty much only came up to move me into my dorm. But all my high school friends knew my parents?)

idk It's weird.

If ya'll haven't seen it yet, there is a possible spoiler on the internet. Some guy thinks the 'winner' is Melissa because of her pinky ring.

I find it odd that DeAnna would randomly show up in New Zealand...it's not like she's just in the neighborhood returning a library book or something! I knew that she would be returning this season but I guess I thought it already happened b/c I missed an episode earlier on.

I'm sure the producers of the bachelor brought Deanna to New Zealand for the drama factor. This would have been in the process of taping when she and Jesse broke up, right?

Many of my college and post college friends have not met my parents. Once I wasn't living with my parents, there was no reason for my parents to meet them, except maybe at my weddings. She hasn't had one of those yet! I want to find the preview again and try to figure out what Melissa is saying to Jason about her parents next week.

I thought it was a little odd that her friends hadn't met her parents. I went to college in California and even my college friends have met my family at graduation and such. Post-college friends I would not expect to know her parents. But I also thought it was odd that her friends apparently haven't met her boyfriends. Maybe Melissa has a low self-esteem and knows that her family won't like the guys, so she doesn't bring them home.

In my family, you only brought home a guy if you were planning on married him. Seriously, they would all assume that it was *that* serious if you brought him home. It wasn't taken lightly and people would be making comments all over the place, especially if you brought him to an extended family event with the Italian cousins. You just didn't bring someone home to meet the parents unless it was truly that serious.

why can't they tape an episode, edit it, and then show it the following week or two? these people have to wait 3-4 months until after the final episode airs to hook up with each other again? no wonder the success rate of them staying together is low.

Agreed. Even MTV's The Hills and The City are about a month away from reality. Heck The Hills got within less than two weeks at one point. Sure this is a different show, but a month or even a month and a half is so not too much to ask.
