For everyone who had complained that the 22nd season of The Bachelor was, shall we say, a lot less than dramatic. Bachelor Nation was left so heart-poundingly shook on March 3, 2009, during the season 13 finale.

Jason Mesnick starred as a single father and mortgage broker in the 13th season of The Bachelor in 2009. After various emotional highs and lows throughout the season, he proposed to Melissa Rycroft in the finale. Though the engagement came off as a classic Bachelor success until everything unfolded just weeks later.

Jason Mesnick and Melissa Rycroft’s six-week engagement on The Bachelor ended shockingly when Mesnick decided to pursue his runner-up Molly Malaney, during the After the Final Rose episode. He broke up with the season winner live on national television. Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney later married and are still together today.

What does Melissa think about it now? Jason Mesnick and Melissa Rycroft on The Bachelor.

Kate Chastain is not married and has never been married before. She has not revealed any plans about wanting to tie the knot. Some of the other Below Deck alums, such as Hannah Ferrier, Amy Johnson, Anastasia Surmava, and Jenna MacGillivray, are married and have focused on their personal lives outside the show. Kate Chastain's relationship status is currently single, and although she flirted with Chef Ben Robinson on Below Deck, they are just friends. There were rumors about Ben being the father of her son, but Kate has denied those claims.

Kate Chastain was a long-time Below Deck cast member, and viewers might have been curious about whether she was married, along with other stars of the show. The Below Deck franchise mostly focuses on a group of crew members who work together for weeks on a yacht. While there are many boatmances and occasional personal information shared about the cast's lives,...

It’s more a public service than a spoiler to reveal that no matter how Fox is promoting the show, polarizing Oscar winner Susan Sarandon is truly not the primary star of the new musical soap opera Monarch.

Armed with this knowledge, everybody comes out ahead. Sarandon haters can tune into Monarch without fear of an excess of Susan Sarandon; Sarandon fans, the real winners here, can safely skip Monarch entirely.

Although it obviously and rather desperately wants to be Empire only with country music, Monarch is actually just protracted mediocre karaoke. Any karaoke aficionado can tell you that mediocre karaoke is the worst karaoke of all. Bad karaoke is drunken, trashy fun. Great karaoke is entertaining and musical. Mediocre karaoke? It’s that movie with Gwyneth Paltrow and Huey Lewis. (Duets. It’s called Duets.) And Monarch wishes it was even that good.
