Two weeks ago, Jesse Csinsak’s happily ever after came to a screeching halt when he was abruptly dumped by fiancé DeAnna Pappas. The two met while filming ABC’s The Bachelorette and were in the midst of planning a May 2009 wedding. Without warning, at an airport counter, DeAnna ended the relationship, telling Jesse that she loved him, but wasn’t in love with him. Host Chris Harrison said that DeAnna thought the show would make her famous and let her ego get the best of her. Jesse just seemed devastated, leaving a video message on the couple’s website for fans, explaining the breakdown of their relationship. Still, despite the hurt that this has caused him, Jesse says that he’s trying to keep his friendship with the woman he loves.

Let me just go on record as saying that I was one of those people who hated the fact that DeAnna Pappas chose Jesse Csincask on the season finale of The Bachelorette. For someone who seemed to be looking to settle down, get married, and have kids, it was amazing to me that she chose the person who seemed to be the least likely candidate to give her those things right away. Better choices, like Jeremy Anderson and Jason Mesnick, were falling all over themselves to get close to her but she went with the guy that she seemed to have the least amount of chemistry with. Her final choice left fans talking for months and made it a season of The Bachelorette that will not soon be forgotten. The question is: was that all part of her plan?

The Bachelorette’s DeAnna Pappas and Jesse Csincsak were just about 6 months away from their wedding when she decided to abruptly end things. Fans of the show were stunned to learn that the two had called off their engagement but none was more surprised than Jesse himself, who never saw the breakup coming. “He was stunned, I’ve talked to Jesse several times today and he did not see it coming,” Chris Harrison, host of The Bachelorette, said in an interview after the breakup went public. The couple agreed on a date to announce the breakup, but she leaked it to the press without telling him. Read on to find out more of what Harrison had to say about the breakup and it most likely won’t be surprising to learn whose side he’s taking.

Let’s face it. It’s just not possible for a couple from The Bachelor or The Bachelorette to work. When DeAnna Pappas chose Jesse Csincsak at the end of this past season of The Bachelorette, fans scratched their head in confusion. Jesse was unlike any other guy that showed up to win DeAnna’s heart, and perhaps that’s why she picked him, but many people felt it was doomed from the start – and they were right. Today, to almost no one’s surprise, DeAnna and Jesse announced on their official website that they were calling off their engagement.

This January, The Bachelor returns to ABC with Jason Mesnick sitting in the driver's seat. Fans have not soon forgotten Mesnick's heartache when DeAnna Pappas rejected his proposal on the season finale of The Bachelorette this year. Mesnick is a single dad and it marks the first time that the show has cast a single parent as a Bachelor or Bachelorette. The Bachelorette is also experiencing a major first: for the first time, the show has launched a nationwide search for the woman who will star on their next season. This week, Chris Harrison spoke to BuddyTV in an exclusive interview about both shows, who he stays in touch with, and what other exciting things he has going on!

For many fans of The Bachelorette, it seemed that DeAnna Pappas would bring Jeremy Anderson all the way to the end last season. The two formed an immediate bond, each having experience losing a parent. They felt comfortable together and she often showed him more attention than the other men on the show, which ended up alienating him from the rest of the group. DeAnna brought Jeremy all the way to the overnight dates but ended up eliminating him in an emotional rose ceremony. He even went back for her to try one last time on the season finale, but she ended up accepting Jesse Csincsak’s proposal. Today, Jeremy has moved on, gone back to work, and gotten on with his life.
