Jesse Csincsak
Gossip

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.

With her heavily-hyped reunion with The Bachelor star Jason Mesnick drawing near on the season finale, DeAnna Pappas has revealed some additional details about why she rejected Mesnick in favor of Jesse Csincsak - then later dumped Csincsak.

"I believe that we all make mistakes in our lives and we learn from them ... it came down to two totally different people. Jason, who has it all together has everything a woman would want. And then there's Jesse, who kind of was a wild card," she told Extra.

"For me, I felt like the wild card was going to work out. Someone to keep me on my toes. Eventually, it wasn't what I was attracted to anymore," she added.

Both Jason Mesnick and Jesse Csincsak attempted to propose marriage to DeAnna Pappas during July's broadcast of The Bachelorette's fourth-season finale.

DeAnna Pappas rejected Mesnick, on bended knee, before he could follow through with his marriage proposal offer and presented Csincsak with her final rose.

Things initially seemed to go well for the engaged couple, but after months of wavering over a wedding location, Pappas announced she had broken up with Csincsak.

That split took place in November.

As for her reunion in New Zealand with Mesnick on The Bachelor, Pappas said it was a positive experience for her - and hopefully for The Bachelor viewers as well.

"I believe that it's going to resolve some issues for myself and possibly some viewers," she said.

When speaking of DeAnna Pappas' surprise visit, which will air in two weeks, Mesnick admitted to being caught off guard by the appearance of his ex-flame.

"Of course it threw me off. I fell in love with her and I went through my healing process. She's the last person I expected to see, especially in New Zealand," he said.

Jesse Csincsak shocked the world when he somehow bested Jason Mesnick to win the heart of DeAnna Pappas on last year's season finale of The Bachelorette.

She dumped him a few months later after she sold out and went Hollywood. Jason Mesnick went on to star on The Bachelor and garner mammoth ratings.

Well, Jesse Csincsak is getting the last laugh as well, showing DeAnna he's moved on by cozying up to former Bachelor castoff Holly Durst! Check it out ...

MMM: Nothing says hot new romance like eating hot dogs together.

The new couple began dating recently, finding comfort in each other after their respective reality TV rejections (Durst was nixed by that ass bag Matt Grant).

Rebound relationships rarely last, but they do seem very into each other. Click to enlarge more photos of Jesse Csincsak and Holly Durst on a date below ...

The remedy for a broken engagement for Jesse Csincsak? Hitting the slopes for a ski weekend with his fellow reality TV friends — and Holly Durst!

You may remember Holly Durst from, yes, The Bachelor: London Calling, which starred Matt Grant. He rejected her for that skank ditz Shayne Lamas.

Although Jesse Csincsak, who got dumped by Bachelorette star DeAnna Pappas last November following a whirlwind courtship and engagement, admits he is not really “focused on dating,” he says he's made a connection with his fellow bachelorette:

“I have a great time with Holly,” says Jesse. “We’re both from Ohio, we both have a lot in common, and I think that we both really enjoy hanging out with each other.”

In fact, Csincsak took Holly Durst, along with other women from Season 12’s The Bachelor and pals from The Bachelorette to Breckinridge, Colo., for a ski weekend!

“It was awesome, man,” Csincsak said, “and it was cathartic."

"We all got to catch up and chat about how things have been. It was cool, because we all had the same experience, and there’s nobody else that can understand what we went through except for the guys that were on the show.”

While a long-term relationship with Holly Durst be the last thing on his mind, it was a definite love connection between Csincsak and his fellow “bachelors.”

“It was like we never left,” he says. “I love those guys, no matter whatever we’re doing - be it drinking beer, playing cards, skiing, snowboarding.”

The subject of DeAnna Pappas never popped up.

“Believe it or not, we really didn’t talk about her,” Csincsak says of his former fiancée, “It was just a guys’ weekend, and we spent more time throwing the guys that didn’t show up under the bus then we did talking about her.”

In was a little over a week ago that Jesse Csincsak revealed via webcam that his world had been shattered by fiancee DeAnna Pappas.

Today, the spurned snowboarder is opening up about the breakup and discussing his dating future in a deep interview with TV Guide ...

Q: Why go on YouTube to present your side? Why not just issue a joint press release?

Jesse Csincsak: We were going to do that, but some people found out [before we wanted]. The easiest thing seemed to be to hop on the webcam and put it on YouTube. I did it because I wanted to tell the fans what happened. [DeAnna and I] have gone our separate ways. I love her and I wish her nothing but the best. I felt that that's what I portrayed on YouTube and I hope that's the way it was taken.

Q: What response are you getting?

Jesse Csincsak: Thousands of emails, 20,000 to 30,000 hits a day on my MySpace page and 5,000 emails to my MySpace page.

Q: Any ladies interested in picking up where DeAnna Pappas left off?

Jesse Csincsak: There are definitely a few ladies who have contacted me, but I'm taking things one day at a time.

Q: Did going on-camera allow you to express more how you truly felt?

Jessie Csincsak: Yeah. I figured there's no better way to tell someone how you feel than to get out there and look right into the screen and say this is what's going on. I spoke to the fans about how I was really feeling. I didn't discuss anything about what had gone on [privately]. The answer I got [from DeAnna Pappas] was that she loved me, but "wasn't in love with me." That's what she told me.

It was a stunning breakup everybody totally none of us saw coming.

Reality TV lovebirds DeAnna Pappas and Jesse Csincsak are history.

The host of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, Chris Harrison, tells Entertainment tonight: "DeAnna went to Breckenridge last week and broke up with Jesse. He was stunned. I've talked to Jesse several times, and he did not see it coming."

Harrison claims DeAnna Pappas leaked the break-up to the press early:

"They agreed that this was not going to get out to the public until Thursday, they were going to release a joint statement and try and keep this above board, and she went out on her own, leaked it, and so he's just feeling a little beat up."

Jesse Csincsak and DeAnna Pappas in happier times. Like this summer.

"He really truly loved DeAnna," Harrison said of Jesse Csincsak. "He was so happy. He's like, 'Let's just go to Breckenridge, let's go to Atlanta, let's get the heck out of here, and let's live our lives. Let's just get to know each other and hang out.'"

Interestingly, Harrison says that the supposedly down-home DeAnna Pappas started having big Hollywood dreams and getting "bad advice" from people in L.A.

"... Paparazzi guys and some of the other people that she's been running into that have filled her head with, you know, these dreams that she's going to come to Hollywood and make it big and do all this stuff. And I think her head's getting a little bigger than it should and I think that's led to this as well."

I love you. But I'm not in love with you.

- DeAnna Pappas to Jesse Csincsak

Get your tissues out, reality TV fans.

DeAnna Pappas and Jesse Csincsak have called off their engagement. The source of this news? Csincsak himself.

"I kind of feel like it's our responsibility to tell you we're not together anymore," the scorned dumpee says in the following, hilarious, terribly-acted video.

"DeAnna broke up with me two days ago, and I just wanted to come on here and tell you guys face-to-face."

Does this mean that DeAnna Pappas may now become a contestant on The Bachelor with Jason Mesnick? You never know!

The Bachelorette's DeAnna Pappas and Jesse Csincsak are still engaged, and looking to become just the second couple from the entire Bachelor / Bachelorette franchise to actually get hitched (Trista and Ryan Sutter being the other success story).

They are not getting married until May, but they sure looked ready to walk down the aisle during a visit Wednesday to Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif.

DeAnna Pappas shocked many by selecting Jesse over Jason Mesnick - who will be the next star of The Bachelor - on the season finale of The Bachelorette. But ever since, DeAnna and Jesse have certainly looked happy and in love.

Here's hoping it lasts!

The Bachelorette’s engaged DeAnna Pappas and Jesse Csincsak are dreaming big when it comes to life and love. But small when it comes to weddings.

“I think we want to enjoy ourselves and our day versus having to talk to a bunch of people all day long. So, we’re dwindling it down,” said the bride.

That's a surprisingly grounded view from a reality TV star. Similarly, with a wedding date of May 9, the couple says they haven't done much planning.

“I don’t know how people plan a wedding,” DeAnna Pappas said.

“I know what color I want my dresses to be, and bridesmaids’ dresses. He wants a cheesecake. And that’s about as far as we’ve gotten.”

“Our relationship obviously is our main focus right now, and then we have the wedding on top of that,” Jesse Csincsak added.

“It’s not this huge thing everyday. We’re both so busy. We don’t have time right now to plan a wedding, and we’re planning a wedding, which is crazy.”

As for The Bachelor stars on the wedding invitee list, you can count ex-Bachelorette Trista Rehn and host Chris Harrison among them.

“I’m friends with a lot of the guys from the same season I was on, Jason Mesnick being one of them,” said Csincsak, referring to his former Bachelorette cast-mate, and the future star of The Bachelor, in an interview with People.

“[Chris] Harrison is a great guy. Trista and Ryan [Sutter] have been super-influential to us. We’re psyched to have all of them there.”

The Bachelorette star DeAnna Pappas and Jesse Csincsak, her fiancé, are getting married next year — and in a twist only appropriate for their reality TV romance, former Bachelor star Andy Baldwin will perform the ceremony!

“Andy Baldwin is a certified minister,” an insider explains to celeb gossip tabloid InTouch Weekly, noting that the rose ceremony veterans met on MySpace (really) - then grew so close that Andy was asked to officiate at the wedding.

“I’m so happy for DeAnna and Jesse. I am really honored that they’ve asked me and I can’t wait to be a part of their big day,” Andy said.

No word on whether Matt Grant will serve as Best Man or Shayne Lamas, Chelsea Wanstrath and Tessa Horst will be DeAnna's bridesmaids.

Andy Baldwin was on The Bachelor a year before DeAnna Pappas lost as a contestant, being rejected by that jackass Brad Womack on the finale. The Georgia beauty got the last laugh when she went on to star as The Bachelorette.
