I trust this board more, and hope someone here who knows him can refute this.

I've heard nothing but good about Jason.

Have no clue about the stuff you heard, but I would be careful about the board you referenced......they've a reputation on not being very reliable.

History shows that the F1 has never been a divorcee, but does that not mean that a divorcee is automatically devoid of being the F1.

That's true, but considering the odds would you put yourself and your child in the position to be disappointed or hurt? ETA as it relates to the show?

Nennie, that is the best advice yet. We can go round and round this story for days and we will still be right here.

Jason saw something in DeAnna, that made him want to take a chance. It was hard for him to leave Ty, he told us that. It is over and done with, he is back home with Ty.

If Jason is F1, which for me, I hope so. Maybe it is fate and it will be successful.

Someone on another board that lives in Seattle heard Jason on the radio. He told a radio DJ, when asked how he got on the show, Jason said, Right time, Right Place and that he sent an email in to the producers.

They must have been impressed with the email, because I have heard Chris say before, that they don't look at people that nominate themselves.

He stated that he had a great time, who wouldn't.

As far as the comment on the ABC board and the crazy accusations, doesn't strike me as believable. JMHO.

I honestly can't say as I don't have children. I think that if I knew who the Bachelor was going to be, like Bevin and Jason did, and I felt compelled to meet the person and the pros outweighed the cons, probably. Everyone's opinions and situations are different, though. It's definitely a HUGE risk, and I completely understand why you see differently.

Source aside, people aren't forced into affairs, they choose them. Hard for me to imagine anyone in their thirties without some baggage, but I would be loathe to state anything that might possible have a damaging effect on his little boy in the near future without some hard evidence to support it. Yes he chose to go on the B'ette, and in doing so knowingly exposed himself to rumors and criticism (and by association those close to him). But I think we need to take a responsible approach when it comes to discussing things that can be damaging for this little guy in the future. Of course, no one can control the rest of the net, but we can control what each of us contributes to it.

JMO And I know sometimes in print, things come across in a way they were not intended, so I'll state up front that this is not meant to be taken in any kind of "preachy" manner. Just a discussion point

Yes, I would......nothing ventured, nothing gained.

The child is 3, he isn't going to be disappointed, if his father isn't chosen.......doubt he even gets the concept, nor was told the concept, at his age.

I honestly can't say, as i don't have a child, but sometimes we have to take a huge risk in order to find love, or success, or just to find ourselves. Also, if Jason had not made it passed the first couple of RC's, then he would have only been gone a couple of weeks, and who is to say that he doesn't have to travel for his job?

I don't think Jason ever put his son in a position to be hurt because he's dating on a relaity show:

(1) If Ty meets Dee one time during HTDs, and Jason isn't F1--Ty will think of Dee as "the nice lady my daddy brought to visit."

(2) If Ty meets Dee during HTDs, and Jason is F1--Ty will get a new stepmom, or they will date.

As far as dating a single parent and it not working out and a kid maybe getting attached and disappointed...that is just part of life and sadly does happen, but it has NOTHING to do with a reality show...

And none of us would say that no single parent should ever be allowed to date unless they know that marriage will occur. You can't date as a single parent without letting the person you're dating get to know your child and you can't go on a first date and Know it will be forever.

Jason can't, I can't, nobody can...

I guess to me...Jason is taking the same normal risks any normal single parent who dates would take....the show doesn't lessen or heighten those risks at all..

Well if divorced people took your advice, they would never date anyone again....and certainly never, ever introduce their child to someone that are falling in love with, and hoping it works out with. Life is full of risks and some heartbreak....and to me it is important for a child to see their parent with the courage and wherewithall to put their heart out there....and while sometimes it is going to end up in joy yippee...and even sometimes, to see them able to recover and deal with pain and rejection. It is all how it is handled. JMHO of course.

I am quite certain that Jason's son's future and what is best for both of them was first and foremost in his mind. I am quite certain Jason would request of DeAnna that if she was not feeling him...to please let him go right away, thus he could get back to his son as quickly as possible, and I suspect DeAnna would have done this anyway. The fact that Jason makes it to F2 shows me that Jason and Ty might be getting a complete family, and DeAnna just might be getting her fairytale ending. And if not...Jason took a chance on love trying to give his son a better life, and he lost....and he will now show Ty how to deal with that too. Thanks
