WITH HOMETOWN DATES LOOMING, JASON TRIES TO DISCOVER THE BACHELORETTES' TRUE FEELINGS FOR HIM, INVITING THE FINAL FIVE WOMEN TO HIS HOMETOWN OF SEATTLE, ON ABC'S "THE BACHELOR," MONDAY, FEBRUARY 2
"Episode 1305" - The pressure is really on, as Jason struggles to decide which four women he'll escort home to meet their families. But first, a surprise visit to the Bachelor's hometown of Seattle awaits the five remaining bachelorettes - a chance to check out their potential future home. Jason takes one woman on a romantic one-on-one date on a houseboat and escorts three of the bachelorettes on a ferry ride around Seattle and then to a revealing live radio interview. On the final crucial individual date, the handsome single dad chooses one of the ladies to take a fanciful flight on a seaplane over Seattle before sharing some intimate alone time together. However, Jason has more surprises in store for the women and breaks the rules at the rose ceremony to come to his difficult decision, on "The Bachelor," MONDAY, FEBRUARY 2 (8:00-10:00 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.
After a brief reunion with his son, Ty, Jason welcomes the women to Seattle. The lucky woman, who receives the one-on-one date card, is delighted that Jason will show her his hometown in style. However, Jason's parental duties take precedence when Ty needs him at home and he must make a last minute change in plans.
The next day, three of the bachelorettes meet Jason on the deck of a ferry for a sunset cruise around Puget Sound. The Bachelor offers some special alone time to one of the ladies to join him in the captain's quarters to steer the boat and steal a kiss. But Jason seeks some outside help with his decision, taking the group to KISS-FM to be interviewed on one of the top-rated radio shows in Seattle. The Bachelor enlists the help of the two local DJs, Jackie and Bender, a married couple, to get some frank advice on love, marriage and intimacy. They quiz Jason and the women on love and romance and even set up a kissing contest - much to the shock of the other two women listening back at the hotel. Jason rewards the three women with a wonderful late night meal, attempting to have an honest talk with one bachelorette about their relationship. He pulls another woman aside for a romantic walk by the bay.
On a picturesque seaplane ride over Seattle, Jason points out to the fortunate woman who gets the last one-on-date the highlights of the city she might one day call home. The bachelorette also demonstrates her more adventurous side as she races Jason to the top of a giant climbing wall, where they share a mid-air kiss. Later she opens up to him about her family and her feelings for him. A "hot" fireside snuggle ends the evening.
Still unsure of his decision, Jason pays a surprise visit to the ladies' hotel and pulls one woman aside for a heart-to-heart talk. Then at the rose ceremony, Jason breaks the rules and seeks out another bachelorette for a final talk. In the end, he must narrow the field to just four women - the four who will invite him into their families' homes - while one woman leaves in one of the most emotional rose ceremonies ever.
The five women are:
Jillian, 29, an interior designer from Peace River, Alberta, Canada
Melissa, 25, a sales representative from Dallas, TX
Molly, 24, a department store buyer from Grand Rapids, MI
Naomi, 24, a flight attendant from Carlsbad, CA
Stephanie, 34, a single mom (daughter, Sophia, age four) and a medical marketing representative from Huntsville, AL

'BACHELOR' BOOM
DEANNA TALKS ABOUT APPEAL OF HER CASTOFF - SINGLE DAD JASON
SINGLE dad Jason Mesnick, star of "The Bachelor," is the reason the show is so popular again, says former "Bachelorette" troublemaker Deanna Pappas.
"It's pretty hard not to love him," Pappas told The Post yesterday. "He's a wonderful guy with a wonderful son, and he deserves to be happy.
"He has everything that every woman would want."
Pappas famously ditched "nice guy" Mesnick to get engaged to "snowboarder dude" Jesse Csincsak during last year's "Bachelorette" season finale.
Pappas then publicly dumped Csnincsak last fall by breaking the news to reporters - but not to him.
Both are now dating other people from reality shows. Pappas is allegedly shacking up with "Real World: Paris" star Ace Amerson, while Csnincsak is dating former "Bachelor" castoff Holly Durst.
ABC has been hyping Pappas' upcoming return to "The Bachelor" (officials flatly refused to say exactly when), and she was tight-lipped about what transpired when she came face-to-face with Mesnick again.
She should watch her back, though, since the show's fans have fallen in love with Mesnick.
Since he was cast as the heart of the show, "The Bachelor's" once-anemic ratings have flourished. So far this season, the show has averaged 9.9 million viewers, up from 7.7 million last year - a 29 percent increase.
"Clearly, from knowing Jason and being in a relationship with him - and I'm still very good friends with him - I can honestly say that he's a wonderful guy, and I think that people see that," Pappas says.
"They know that he's a genuine person, [that] he's a great family man and I honestly think people just see the good in him."
Does she have any regrets about the way things turned out?
"Well, I'm not sure yet. Talk to me in a couple of months," she says.
Meanwhile, Pappas has landed a job as the co-host of Lifetime's "Get Married" (7:30 a.m. weekdays), a show which helps women plan their weddings.
"I'm not trying to play a wedding expert," she says. "I'm more of, like, the bride's best friend. Clearly, I was engaged a few months ago, and I was in the process of planning a wedding, so I do have that little bit of experience.
"I've been in plenty of weddings," she says, "which is me saying, 'I'm always the bridesmaid, never the bride.' "

I just want to strangle that bitch! I'm so sick of hearing about her...it's all about getting attention.
ABC is making her say those things, just to hype up the drama. Speculation has it that she visits Jason on the final episode prior to the final rose ceremony in New Zealand. Go figure....it's just a publicity stunt, that's all. She only visits him to have a talk with him, nothing else. Of course, ABC wants us to think otherwise for dramatic purposes. I dread seeing her on The Bachelor and hope it will be the last time I ever see her! She needs to crawl under a rock and die! That is how much I hate her! I have absolutely ZERO respect for her.
