The Bachelor: TVGuide.com Poll: Jason Mesnick Is "A Bastard" March 4, 2009
NEW YORK, Mar. 4, 2009 - Sixty percent of TVGuide.com voters agree with his dumped
fiancée: Bachelor star Jason Mesnick is "a bastard."
Mesnick had proposed to Melissa Rycroft on Monday's Bachelor finale only to turn
around and break off their engagement on national television.
Mesnick said he would have preferred not to dump the former object of his affections during the follow-up
show, After the Final Rose Part One, but he was not allowed to see her until then.
His announcement that he instead wanted to date Molly Malaney, the runner-up,
elicited this quick assessment from Rycroft: "You're a bastard."
Of the more than 7,000 people who voted in TVGuide.com's online poll
, here, 60 percent
agreed with Rycroft.
Twenty-five percent said Mesnick couldn't be faulted for his
choice (agreeing with the Woody Allen adage that "the heart wants what the heart
wants."
Fifteen percent were so disgusted with the outcome that they vowed never to
watch again. ("Don't text and don't call," they said, echoing Rycroft's goodbye to
Mesnick.)
