'The Bachelor'(8PM, ABC) 13th season premiere
The show's 0-12 in the enduring love match department, but single dad Jason Mesnick might finally be the one to make it stick.
A fan favorite who was nominated to be 'The Bachelor' after 'Bachelorette' DeAnna Pappas rejected his marriage proposal, Mesnick heads back to the Los Angeles mansion where the Pappas affair took place to find his soulmate from amongst 25 wannabes.
He's already admitted in interviews that he fell in love with one of the contestants, so who will it be: One of the four women who are single mothers? The woman who tells him she's his biggest fan? Or maybe the one who 'fesses up that she quit her job to compete for his affections?
