Four months after Kirkland single dad/douchebag extraordinaire Jason Mesnick dumped her ass on national television, Melissa Rycroft has gotten over her Bachelor days by getting engaged to insurance agent Tye Strickland. Rycroft announced the engagement yesterday on Good Morning America, where she is a correspondent this summer (huh?) after her post-Bachelor stint on Dancing with the Stars. Meanwhile, Jason Mesnick and his still-girlfriend Molly Malaney (her? is she funny or something?) will be guests on GMA tomorrow. Potentially AWK-WARD!

MvB is off to Annex Theatre tonight for Love's Tangled Web; Saturday night is Bosco's jazz gig/CD party at The Mix in Georgetown. Sunday he hopes to be kissed--with tongue--by the spring sun's rays.

Oh Jason, it seems like you just can't figure out what you want. Star Magazine sent us this teaser for a story in an upcoming issue of their rag: "Bachelor Jason Mesnick has changed his mind--again! After handing Melissa Rycroft the rose and then, in a shocking turnaround, dumping her for Molly Malaney, STAR has learned that he's had another change of heart and wants Melissa back! 'I made a mistake!' he confessed to Melissa, who's now dazzling fans on Dancing with the Stars. Will she take him back? We have the inside story!"

Under a measure passed yesterday by the Senate, same-sex domestic partners in Washington would finally have the same rights offered to married couples--rights which many people have been denied since the stale, dated Defense of Marriage Act of 1998, which restricted marriage to unions between a penis and a vagina.

• Big Blog won points with a post about The Bachelor's ex-wife and her YouTubed guest spot as a groupie on local band Out From Underneath's Seattle-heavy music video. Onwards and upwards, Gas Works Park.
• The blog formerly known as bigasscity is quoting none other than ZZ Top while crunching the numbers about Metro's projected budget shortfall and how much money the city could have saved by rejecting the bored tunnel viaduct replacement option.
• Cliff Mass thinks it's "pretty definite": we're looking at more snow, probably on Sunday. Actually, that works well with our schedule. How kind of the gods to check with Seattlest HQ's Google Calendar before sending the cold front!

And lo, it came to pass that all that was predicted/leaked about this season of The Bachelor came to be, just as Reality Steve said. That's called prophecy, bitches. It is written. Jason Mesnick proposed to Melissa on the finale, only to dump her ass six weeks later (one hour in TV time) on the "After the Final Rose" special for Molly, the girl he had jilted just an hour earlier. Kinda a dick move, guy.

Tonight's the big final rose ceremony on this season of The Bachelor, featuring Kirkland's own Jason Mesnick--but as always there are rumors on the internets.

A former Husky linebacker is among the football players missing off Florida's Gulf Coast after a weekend fishing trip. Someone was shining lasers at planes at SeaTac last night, and the pilots are all, "Gah! Get that thing outta my eye!" There's no quick fix for the economy, but there's a free fix for your pet. Today is the last day to get your dog or cat spayed for free at Seattle Animal Shelter and it also happens to be the day that Jason the Bachelor hands out the final rose. Here's hoping the loser goes out like a lamb.

Look, we don't actually watch The Bachelor. In fact, all we know about the show is gathered from either The Soup or Videogum. And yet we feel obligated to report that yesterday, the latter had a piece that referred us to this New York Times article about how this season's ratings are up because womenz luv babiez or something.

We don't know yet if Griffey will come back to Seattle, and Army officials are still figuring out why the 16-year-old civilian girl found dead at Ft. Lewis was there at 3 a.m. Sunday. But this much we know is true: Bachelor Jason jilted Jillian because he wants a lover, not a best friend.

Since the only thing worse than being on the dole is being kicked off it, we're glad the feds are extending our unemployment benefits in this state. Even REI is cutting jobs. Guess that outdoorsy date scene from The Bachelor didn't help?

Well, you don't have to watch this season of The Bachelor to find out who Jason Mesnick wants to marry, because some guy (YouTube handle "handsomepete") recently made the above video with an airtight "pinky ring" theory. Looks like he's got some pretty solid TV stills-based evidence, though when you're dealing with reality television you can never tell. The post-production editing is where it's at, and we wouldn't put it past The Bachelor to end the season with some big PSYCHE. We have to agree with Videogum, when they assert that "making all of the women pose while Jason pretends to propose to them is EXACTLY the type of thing they would do on this show."

After last night's season premiere of The Bachelor, audiences of sad, middle-aged women got a sneak peek of what's to come with the above teaser-filled three-minute montage. Looks like upstanding single dad/Kirkland douchebag Jason Mesnick--and yes, it's possible to be both--gives his potential future wives a taste of everything Seattle. They go on a boat! It rains! There's the mountains! They fly a seaplane! They climb the REI rock wall! Let's go hiking! Hey, it's the Market! He makes out with everybody everywhere! Insert obligatory shot of the Space Needle here.

Jason Mesnick was the big loser on last season's Bachelorette--the last guy standing (and willing to get on his knee) for a woman who chose the other man. But don't fret, reality TV fans and Kirkland cougars, Mesnick has just been named this years "Bachelor." That's right, this time around he will be the one breaking hearts and rejecting women in an attempt to find love, reality-TV-style.

There are times when we’re sick of Seattle. Sick of the bad and/or utter lack of fashion, sick of the terrible drivers and even worse pedestrians, and certainly sick of all the hipsters in Capitol Hill.

10 out of 10 Pro Bowl voters agree--the Seahawks have more talent on defense than on offense.

Seattlest loves a love triangle, which is why we were pleased to learn the Sonics have been flirting with Bellevue in a possible attempt to make Seattle jealous, and cough up that $200 mil to revamp the (not-so) KeyArena. Seattlest supports any management plan that takes a page from “The Bachelor” playbook.

As previously alluded to, Seattlest is unabashed in our love for television. We tend to gravitate toward the good stuff, but we are by no means too highbrow to watch reality TV. Case(s) in point: the gloriously addictive trainwrecks known as Surreal Life 5 and Being Bobby Brown. For us, the viewing of such apocalypse-heralding fare is merely a spectator sport; that is to say, we've got no aspirations to be the castmember who actively works to alienate everyone in the house. While Seattlest is certainly not sociopathic enough to vie for a spot on a reality show, we cannot assume the same is true of our readership. For that reason, we feel the need to announce that America's Next Top Model will be holding auditions in Seattle next week.
