The Bachelorette/The Bachelor
[edit]Mesnick competed on the fourth season of The Bachelorette, which premiered May 19, 2008, as one of the suitors of Deanna Pappas, even proposing in the final rose ceremony before Pappas stopped him.

On The Bachelor, Mesnick proposed and became engaged to Melissa Rycroft.[2] On the season's finale, Mesnick revealed that he changed his mind.

Kimmel asked Mesnick why he proposed marriage to Rycroft and Mesnick replied that Rycroft was exactly what he wanted at the time, but he did not want to lead Rycroft on.
