Mesnick's selection isn't a big surprise.
"He's on my short list," The Bachelor and The Bachelorette host Chris Harrison had admitted to film.com during a Television Critics Association summer press tour appearance last month. "We would be bona fide idiots not to consider him for the show."
The Bachelorette fourth-season star DeAnna Pappas accepted a marriage proposal from Jesse Csincsak instead of Mesnick during ABC's July broadcast of the show's pre-taped finale.
However during an interview conducted the next day, the 31-year-old account executive from Kirkland, WA told Reality TV World he'd consider the opportunity to star in The Bachelor if asked.
