Reality contestants should be prepared for adventure and fun says ‘The Bachelor’s’ Jason Mesnick

Jason Mesnick and his fiancee, Molly Malaney, both participants in last year’s “The Bachelor” series on ABC, offered some simple advice for anyone who is considering appearing on a reality show.

“Have fun,” he said. “There are no guarantees that you will fall in love or even be the one chosen, so the best advice is to have fun.”

The couple is in town today for A Formal Affair, a bridal expo sponsored by the Chattanooga Times Free Press. The city’s largest and only locally produced event is taking place at the Chattanooga Convention Center until 5:30 p.m. Mr. Mesnick will be handing out flowers and posing for photographs, as well as emceeing the fashion show at 4:30 p.m.
