Yeah IDGAF anymore if the Bachelors are sincere or not. Just give me someone who can carry a season and be entertaining.

VERY politican-esque. Or a car salesman vibe. Everything he says comes off very rehearsed and performing for the cameras to me.

I think he'd probably be a decent Bachelor, but I don't have any illusions that he'd be a sincere one looking for love. I see a season where he picks the hottest girl and then follows it up with a DWTS campaign and breakups with the girl shortly after type of thing. IMO.
Sincere or not these bachelor relationships pretty much never last anyways so who cares tbh. At this point I just want a lead who's actually charismatic and it really seems like the only other contender is Colton

I totally get that! I guess I don't really see the charisma everyone else is seeing. He appears confident and well-spoken to me, so I can see him carrying a season, but I don't see him having that inherent charisma that someone like Rachel had.

I do think he's the best one for the role out of Becca's guys...but I just can't get excited for him. Personal preference, though, as I don't like the overly rehearsed and performative types. My favorites have been the OG Jason and Chris, who both didn't seem capable of being fake. IMO.

Astrobach wrote:Wow @Aria you really do NOT like him! It’s ok, there are a lot more people ( hundreds of thousands) who saw him as a genuine guy throughout his appearance on Becca’s season and that are still hoping he will be gracing our screen with his unique personality. He is a true romantic and looking for a life partner, and I hope he finds a very beautiful woman to complement him. ‘HOT’ is temporary and superficial so I wish him to meet a more rounded and complete woman with intelligence, grace, good values and fun. ON OR OFF BN. And, btw. his career is too important to go and waste time on TV, he will zero in on achieving his goal and then, resume to have a wonderful and full life with his family and friends. IMOAA.

@Astrobach, I agree with everything you’ve said. I LOVE Jason. LOVE that he’s poised, articulate, polished, professional. I think he’s just beautiful in an Andy Garcia meets George Clooney 25 years ago way (yes, I said it before but, I really see him that way). Bumbling, stumbling, stammering does not = sincere to me. Jason is the ultimate, the creme de la creme. I will be devastated if he’s not the next bachelor, not to mention pissed. I’m dying to see him in action with a big bunch of equally polished and accomplished young women, just this once. Let’s get a power couple, just this once. Then we can go back to business as usual. JMO
My fingers are crossed and I’m anxiously waiting. Praying

Ain’t that the truth.

I think he's a genuine sincere guy. Due to the nature of his career it's not unusual to have to speak in front of clients, groups, large companies, and make presentations on various products and benefits his company offers. He has a confidence about him, he's well spoken, and to me just a normal fun guy who doesn't appear to be worried about how he comes across because that's who he is, no pretending. The context of his responses are real and it doesn't seem to me that he has to "think" or try to hard to respond or worry about saying the right thing. If that was the case he could easily have changed his plans and rubbed elbows with Ryan Seacrest for drinks. Who would say no to that.

There are a whole list of former's I can name that to me were trying to hard to promote themselves to be the next lead with every interview they said the same standard BS lines.

It's just too bad that often times even a decent lead ends up in the doghouse for one reason or another.

Well, as estimated but still way under my projection, Jason is now at 291 k on IG. Has passed Blake by over 10k and left Garrett way back with his 256k. Of course Blake will probably pick up more after next week but I still think the growth in J’s IG is pretty phenomenal. And my favorite thing is not only the numbers but the comments he gets which are mostly positive and touching. So far, he seems to navigate all this new exposure very well, keeping his sense of humor and grounded approach. Let’s hope it continues.

Thanks for posting Jason's interview with Seacreast @notarose. He did well yet again. He is a good speaker but to me, smooth or polished doesn't have to mean insincere. Jason knows how to act in different situations which is a good thing, imo. You have to be able to do that in business but Jason can also let his hair down and have fun and we've seen that on the show.

Does that mean that I know he wants to get married or settle down? Of course not but I don't really care, like @bluwavz Jason Tartick - *Sleuthing Spoilers* - Page 65 4256136633

Mini skirt or no, we should've known Jason was doomed when he was greeted with this lackluster feet-on-the-ground embrace...

There was a funny little Direct-Look-Into-Camera as Jason was delighted with his own joke...

I think we all knew it was unlikely Jason would end up the final guy standing here, so what was easily most compelling thing about this date was not the fact that Becca sent him home (early or otherwise), but rather the 4th wall-breaking deliberations that took place leading up to it.

What I found interesting about the following moment is something I missed on first watch: her producer suggests they sit in the shade. On first watch, I thought Becca frustratedly just began to walk away. This subtly changes to the situation as more tactical on the producer's part in my mind, as Becca was clearly clamming up with a camera in her face yet had less of an issue in what felt more like a natural conversation....

I don't mean to remotely make it sound like her producer is some schemer. Becca wasn't opening up, so her producer suggested they sit in the shade and, through the course of a more natural conversation, got her to open up (at least marginally more). For the most part, especially with the leads, it's a misconception to assume producers and production are evil manipulators. (It says something that, since her season, Becca and Caitlin have gone to Disneyland together.)

It's also worth noting that the whole scene ended up being pretty flattering for Becca—it showed her looking very tormented, saying things like, "I don't know if I can picture [our future]" and "I'm having the best time with him", all things suggesting that she hadn't known all along that Jason wouldn't end up the last guy standing.

In the evening, my favorite moment is after Becca's done the deed and she's escorted him to his car. You can see Jason replaying his entire "journey" in about 5 realtime seconds, and (rightfully) assessing it as "brutal"...

And in his car ride, he makes another trout pout (not with his hand this time, though)…

... making me wish he'd been more prominent earlier in the season so that we could've had a season-long #TroutPoutWatch. Missed opportunities.
