Jason Mesnick’s getting another chance at love. In the thirteenth season of the ever popular Bachelor, former contestant Jason Mesnick returns to the mansion in the hopes of finding true love among 25 eligible women. The season begins with a two-hour premiere:

“In this season's premiere, "Episode 1301," Jason returns to the same Los Angeles mansion where it all started for him with DeAnna. Twenty-five beautiful bachelorettes have traveled across the U.S. and around the world to meet him, each having seen him on "The Bachelorette," and are hoping that they will be the lucky woman to share a life with him. An adorable small town beauty, a big city sophisticate who is sick of the club scene and a swank jewelry designer are among the gorgeous, intelligent women hoping to find a new home in Seattle. All of the ladies are excited and anxious to meet the man they have long been dreaming about.”
