First news about the filming of the show is starting to drop. The new season is to premiere on January 5.

First trailer for the series (featuring the opening night introductions/toasts):

GEEZ, pushing the single dad angle, much, ABC?

Apparently, they're filming the final three fantasy dates in New Zealand. Pretty awesome location this time around:

I am dreading this season. I am not really a big Jason fan. At the same time, I cannot look away. BRING IT ON!!

Yeah, but I can't NOT watch...

Aww yay!!! I was so upset when DeAnna didn't pick him, so I'm really happy that he's going to be the Bachelor

I am just really disturbed by the fact that he's a single custodial parent during this whole thing! I felt badly for the little boy last season, after meeting DeAnna the dumper (although they probably dodged a bullet there!). I think this type of exposure and mixed signals cannot be healthy for a little guy..

I loved Jason last season and was really mad at Deanna, although now I realize that she's just a fame whore and addicted to all things wedding, so I agree with you, srmom that they probably dodged a major bullet. And I appreciate the seeming maturity about the situation that Jason possesses, even though the decision to drag my kid through another round of reality TV wouldn't be one I would make, Jason at least has his son at heart when making his decision. And barring any scenario where he fell for another fame whore, then maybe he's found his happily ever after as he says.

With the history of The Bachelor, I will believe it when I see him walk down the aisle. I hope for his son's sake, however, that we do get to see a Bachelor wedding.

Well technically HE won't be walking down the aisle...

Hehe sorry, I couldn't resist!

Well, technically he does walk down the aisle after the vows. Or is it up the aisle?

I read on an entertainment blog (yahoo I think) that he is already engaged. Is it to someone he met on the show? If so, I don't give it much chance of lasting

Sorry, duh - once again, I missed your post above!!

I'm pretty sure I'm going to love this season.

Me too! I'm so excited to see where this goes!

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?

AGDee · #14 01-07-2009, 02:40 PM

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

Anyways if your curious she works in the Nordstroms in Pittsburgh, PA in the young mens section.

So I guess this season I will be watching. LOL.

If she works at Nordstroms, how on earth does she afford 20+ acres in Sewickley? She was talking about all the land she has, and I was wondering what the heck kind of money she must come from.

(I'm hoping I didn't just confuse who was who, but I remember this specifically)
