Fans may remember Jesse Csincsak as Jason Mesnick's erstwhile rival for the love of DeAnna Pappas on The Bachelorette. Below are excerpts from a new interview Jesse recently gave in which he sounds off on Jason's starring turn on The Bachelor ...
Q: First of all, from the Women Tell All special, I don't know if we heard right, but are you in a new relationship?
Jesse Csincsak: Yes, I'm dating Holly Durst from the previous season of The Bachelor. I'm psyched. She's super-cute and very outgoing and fun to be with.
Q: So, how did you guys get together?
Jesse Csincsak: We were actually at a party at Les Deux in California, and I was actually still in my previous relationship. And everybody got introduced. Holly had some interest in going to grad school in Boulder, Colorado. Once I wasn't in a relationship anymore, I shot her a text message and said, “Hey, you know, if you still are looking for a tour of Boulder and the college, I'd love to go down there with you.” She ended up coming out and going snowboarding, and it's all history from there.

Q: I don't know if you've been reading the blogs, but there are huge potential Bachelor spoilers buzzing around about the end of this season ...
Jesse Csincsak: You know, every year, there's always somebody that comes out of the woodwork saying, “Oh, I know what happens.” And, you know, it's their claim to fame. My view on that is, hey, no matter what the outcome is, as long as Jason finds his true love, for him and Ty, more power to him. You know, I don't care what he has to do to be in love. I think there's people on this planet that would kill to be in love. So, I mean, you can't hate on the guy.
Q: Let's talk about Jason Mesnick. You got to know him pretty well. Based on what you know if him, who do you think is the better match for him?
Jesse Csincsak: You know, it's tough. I would like to call it 50-50. Molly and Melissa both have qualities that I think really fit Jason well. From what I can see, I think Melissa's better with Ty, but maybe Molly might be better with Jason.
Q: You have been in the same position as Molly Malaney and Melissa Rycroft are right now. Can you give some insight on what they're going through?
Jesse Csincsak: When you're down to Final Two, you're pretty much just sitting there, and you're going for the gusto. You've got nothing to lose at that point. You've been through the ringer, you've met the parents. Your heart's out there, you're already in love. What's the worst-case scenario? You're going to get your heart broken? But it's worth it just to get to be in love and be with that person.
Q: Were there any other bachelorettes from this season who you were like, “Oh my God, Jason. Why did you let her go?”
Jesse Csincsak: At first, I was really, pretty pumped on Megan and, I think it was, Lauren. But after kind of seeing what you see from the producers and stuff, they kind of fizzled out in my book, you know, from what I had a view of. I was really bummed on Lauren until she was like, “You're going to give me this rose,” and I was like, “Woah!” And that's what kind of blew it for me.
Q: You aren't with DeAnna anymore, but do you have any idea what is going to happen next week? All season, ABC has said she's coming back ...
Jesse Csincsak: I do that she came back after we had broken up and what not. But, I mean, they always lead you to believe something, you know what I mean? I think she's coming back and she's going to give some sort of advice, would be my guess.
Q: What advice would you give Jason Mesnick right now?
Jesse Csincsak: Just to be true to himself and to not compromise himself to go after he wants. It doesn't matter what the viewers think or what anybody else thinks. It's all about him and Ty. As long as he does that, he'll be happy in the end.

I read about 3 weeks ago DeAnna herself said "she was asked to come back by ABC" . She said she had no intention of wanting Jason but was asked to come back to "create drama". I have no reason to disbelieve this and it really ruins the whole concept of the 'Batchelor' I guess I will judge the show better once I see the last episode.

I think they brought her back because they are going to get back together. I she that she hosts a wedding show and is doing a chat tonight about the finale.

I agree Mandy! That was a LOT of hype for that 2 minutes... I am still in shock he just broke up with Melissa...

Melissa, I am sorry that Jason did you so wrong, what goes around comes around. You have to be strong and do not let that whimp hold you back from a real man. Just have fun and do not rush into love.

Melissa,
I know it hurts now, but one day you will realize that you have just dodged a MAJOR bullet.
It's better that you found out now exactly who and what you were dealing with.
Best wishes. Your happiness is coming. This really is for the best.
Good luck.

I have followed every one of the Bachelor/Bachelorette seasons. My 2 faves were (1)Charlie/Sara and(2)Trista/Ryan. As of 3/2 at 11pm(est), Jason is now my favorite. Why?
Like Charlie, "J" has real, honest feelings and truly wants, not fame but to find someone who loves him enough to want to spend the rest of their lives together. That degree of love has to be experienced by both parties! It seems that Charlie and "J" each fell in love with more than one lady. Since Charlie's season had "No Rules", according to Chris when he first addressed the ladies, Charlie had the option of delaying his choice for over a month so he could "Find out which lady he missed the most" Despite a year of being apart, his method seems to be working for thempresently.
Jason, in order to increase his chances of finding true love, was allowed to make some changes from the usual itenerary of the show. (an extra elimination when he could not see forever with any more ladies, the move to Seattle for two weeks, and the extra time in New Zealand). In exchange for these concessions, Jason was contractually obliged to adhere to ABC's rules,(See Jesse's thoughts below), which included having to propose to one lady (or,if not,) walking away empty handed and later unproposing in front of the camera. In real life, anyone who finds out that they are no longer in love with someone, usually breaks up with her/him and moves on. The difference here is that TV is on an excellerated time line. I believe Jason, the gentleman that he is, did what he had to in order to be with his soulmate, and showed us how devistated he was when he knew he was hurting either of the ladies. I admire his courage, and more importently his compassion and I truly hope he and Molly's life will be filled with love and happiness forever.

Jesse Csincsaks Thoughts on the Bachelor Finale:
"Being on the show is a huge experience that only the people who go on it can even imagine... It is very easy to judge the contestants and say ohhh well I would have done it like this.. Just remember that every season the contestants go on this show to fall in love and every year they do exactly that... This year Jason fell in love with Melissa and then they broke up and now he is dating Molly.. That to me is exactly what happened with Me DeAnna and Holly Durst except mine happened off Camera... My relationship with DeAnna didnt work out and now I am dating another Bachelor cast member HOLLY DURST.. Everyone is soo quick to judge the situation because it happened on camera but remember the people on this show are bound by an IRON CLAD 5 million dollar breach of contract penalty to do certain things on camera ( LIKE BREAK UP ).. So before you judge someone for going on TV and putting themselves out there just remember there are always things that you might not know that effect the situation...I wish Jason, Ty and Molly the best..... And I am sure a great girl like Melissa will find love again..."
Just my thoughts...
