‘The Bachelor’ treats his date (and a third wheel) to Legoland

Bachelor Jason Mesnick and guests at Legoland
“The Bachelor” heads to Legoland California in tonight’s episode on ABC, with single-dad Jason Mesnick taking single-mom Stephanie and her daughter, Sophia, for a private visit to the Carlsbad theme park.

The trio rode on Coastersaurus, Fun Town Fire Academy, Skipper School, Captain Cranky’s Challenge and Beetle Bounce. Don’t expect any of those rides, all suitable for the toddler set, to get lovers’ hearts racing.

The romantic date plus one included a secluded picnic in the Pirate Shores area of the park and a birthday party for Sophia in Miniland U.S.A., where nine cities are replicated from more than 22 million Lego bricks. Don’t count on any Tunnel of Love rendezvous in this episode.

Viewers may remember Mesnick from his crushing rejection on the season finale of “The Bachelorette,” when he dropped to one knee to profess his love to DeAnna Pappas, who rebuffed him. “The Bachelor” represents a second chance of sorts for Mesnick, thanks to the female fans who flocked to his support.

I LOVE Stephanie! This lovely lady is the most REAL and genuine woman on this show. I’m sorry that Jason doesn’t bond with her though but that just means that Stephanie’s man of her dreams is still out there for she and her daughter, Sophia.

what do you mean Jason doesn’t bond with Stephanie? Whoever this guy is that says Melissa is the winner because of the “gold pinky ring on her finger” is not necessarily right! You see, if you look at the picture of Stephanie above, “she also has a gold pinky ring on her left hand”!! So who is it going to be? How many more woman have gold pinky rings on their left hand??????
