The Bachelor: Jason Mesnick (Season 13)

I couldn't believe he gave Erica a rose. The man clearly has poor judgment.. or did he feel sorry for her because she was one of the three biggest vote getters?

Remember, he's not privvy to all the gossiping and conversation amongst the women. But I too was disappointed that she got a rose! She's very immature and seems to only be there for the competition. And it irked me that she told him, when she came out of the limo, that she had just come from Kirkland, yet then rambled off a couple places she had been in Seattle...did she swing through Kirkland just to see the town where he lives?

Yeah, but he saw her reaction when she was announced as being one of the three highest vote getters from the others.

Uh yeah, how stupid must she be to call the other girls a-holes IN FRONT of Jason. Smooth move, Sherlock.

As far as Nordstrom's goes, I had a friend who worked in commission in the lingerie department and she made up in the upper $30s. So Nordstroms is definitely not a bad gig.

I'm not knocking the job but even if that was her salary (or even more) she wouldn't be able to afford even an acre in the area where she lives, let alone 20 acres and being able to raise a kid. My husband and I make many times that and couldn't afford to live there. Gotta be family money or divorce money in there somewhere.

Should be an interesting season, it's always funny to see who you thought was a decent person go totally batshit during the season.

Ruh roh! Wasn't Erica the runner-up for the girls' "most hated" votes?

Oh - I had no idea of the cost of living in that area. I see what you mean now.

And to your second comment, right on! So many seemingly normal people just become unhinged on this show.
