Jason was my favorite in Becca's season but I did like Blake.

Jason all the way for me that season!

I didn't get why Jason wasn't picked as Bachelor. He said that he was in the mix but why they picked Colten is beyond me.

Jason was too normal. No trauma. No horrid family secrets. I also suspect he wasn't as easy to manipulate.

IMO with all the psych tests they do, they knew/strongly suspected Colton was gay. (I sure did.) They knew he was a mess and would be easy to manipulate and the drama would be off the charts. Who knows, they may have hoped he would come out...in truly the most dramatic season ever! And of course, if that didn't pan out, they could milk the whole stupid virgin storyline...and they sure did. I'd love to know how many times "virgin" was brought up during the course of his season. It felt like they beat me over the head with it constantly.

@Sprite
Agree that Jason was far too savvy to be manipulated so no Bachelor for him. Maybe now that there are new producers? Hoping he'll make an appearance on Joey's season.

I think the record holder for virgin was Sean Lowe's season - it was OTT.

@Norcalgal and Sean wasn't even a actual "virgin"

Agree about Jason. Being with Kaitlyn made me enjoy him more and how funny he can be. Actually made me watch Buffalo Bills games now

@Linds911 Watching the Bills will make Guardian Angel happy!

Kaitlyn Bristowe Says Ex Jason Tartick 'Didn’t Protect' Her When Posting Moving Video After Split

I find Kaitlyn to be annoying in that article. I see nothing wrong in what Jason posted. He had said from the beginning that they were sharing their dogs so if she got any flack I don't believe she should blame it on him.

I'm following them both right now but I think I may stick with Jason. It doesn't mean he's always in the right but I've always found Kaitlyn to be a bit exhausting. All JMO.

@albean99 I said the same thing on her thread. What exactly is he supposed to do? She should stay off SM if it is bothering her that much. She is trying to play the victim and it is not a good look.

I can see this getting messy fast, particularly if he starts dating someone.

Well, if the problem is that they both failed to make each other a priority then why can't they rectify that? That would seem simple enough to solve.
