The Bachelor: Jason Mesnick (Season 13)

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.
