The Bachelor’s Charlie O’Connell & Sarah Brice Reunite

November 17, 2008

The Bachlorette’s DeAnna Pappas and Jesse Csincsak may have called it quits, but it’s not all bad news for reality couples: former Bachelor Charlie O’Connell confirms to PEOPLE he and Sarah Brice are giving their relationship another shot.

“Everything’s going great right now,” says O’Connell, who gave Brice the final rose on The Bachelor’s spring 2005 season. Following the show’s finale, the couple moved in together in Los Angeles, but split in April 2007. Now, after spending most of the summer talking on the phone, the couple are giving love another shot.

“We’re not taking each other for granted,” he says. “I enjoy hanging out with her.”

So, is the couple ready to settled down? Perhaps. “My brother’s got kids coming,” says O’Connell, 33, of his brother Jerry, who is expecting twin girls with wife Rebecca Romijn soon. “We did look at houses together last weekend. I’m not saying moving in isn’t a possibility.”

For now, though, they’re taking baby steps. “Sara and I are babysitting a friend of ours,” he says. “That’s our Friday night date.” – Lisa Ingrassia

Jerry was just on some talk show a couple of weeks ago - and the host (can't remember which show) said something about them being broken up and he said actually they were an on and off couple and were back together now. I hope its true - I did like them.

I only started watching last week and meant to watch tonight, but forgot. Ugh. This is why I don't get into tv. I never remember to watch.

 

[Biscuitsmom31]

Okay, I got it!!

The final two girls are both hoping to be rejected because they are both want to be the next Bachelorette. Their true motives come out and Jason is crushed. He ends up with Jillian.

 

[camreesmom]

I thought for sure Molly was going home tonight!!!!!!!

 

[N&B'smom]

My hubby thinks someone is pregnant too!

 

[hmdavid]

My hubby thinks someone is pregnant too!

That would definitely stir things up!

 

[Keira1387]

It's going to be so hard to wait 2 weeks to find out what happens.

 

[mamajoan]

oh my goodnes ...I hope no one is pregnant.. geee whiz that would be sooo bad...

I was hoping Jillian would be hanging around a bit longer as I thought she could be the "one". But it looks like tptb are editing it to lean toward Melissa. { I have not read spoilers} She is a very cute girl.

gotta say ABC has done a very good job with the previews as I have watched every week wanting to see just what would happen next. Usually I am not that intense about The Bachelor.

Ya gotta admit.. The Bachelor is ALL about the editing!!

 

[Kimberle]

His ex-wife comes back. Tells him she made a mistake & wants him back.

 

[Jennifer S]

My guess is it's Melissa and he wants to propose so he brings her parents in because he wants to ask her dad for her hand in marriage. Something will go very wrong and either there is a big fight and she leaves her family for jason or they don't show and Jason tells her.

I think Deanna is just there to give advice. I think Jason leaning over and crying has to do with having to break someone's heart - again. He does seem pretty sincere. He's def. my fav bachelor so far- and there have been a lot.

You can see it in his eyes that it is Melissa

 

[minniebeth]

I still can't believe Jillian is the one who he chose to send home. He was looking for that passionate connection with her, it sure looked like he found it to me! I can't believe he went on about the "it needs to be more than just best friends" thing. It would have been better if he was more honest about their connection long term which he kind of alluded to when he was saying goodbye to her.
He also pushed the adventurous life thing and then turned around to say he didn't think he could keep up with her?? I'm kind of starting to see I'm not sure he knows what he wants...

Molly is cute but I just don't think she will be able to give him the affection he is craving for and what happens when her parents stop liking him, since THEY are the most important thing in the world to her?

Melissa just seemed so uncomfortable around him during their overnight, I'm sure it was nerves, but she needed to loosen up and really bond through conversation. I was yelling at the tv the things she should have been saying!

This has been my favorite season, and Jason my favorite bachelor, but last night's episode was all to predictable (other than who he chose) for me....all the episodes the bachelors and girls all say the same thing over and over.
Jason says he hasn't chosen who he wants to eliminate right before the rose ceremony? I mean come on, don't any of them know who they want to go home EVER??? (I guess a week in New Zealand on fanatasy dates with beautiful women, maybe they don't want it to end! )

I have to say, I'm fortunate in my life to have this be my only drama, so I get a little passionate about it!

 

[Smileybug]

Boy ya'll were chatty last night.

Waiting 2 weeks is going to be agonizing. If anyone has any good spoilers and you don't want to post them. Send them to me PLEASE!!

I have to say out of the 3 girls last night I picked Jillian for going home. Over all I just didn't think she had the same.....outlook as Jason. I'm thinking that Melissa is the one he picks because of his body language with her. He just seems to be always watching her. I know, it could just be the editing. This one has definitely left me feeling tongue tied.

 

[Jeafl]

Jillian going home didn't really surprise me. Jason said, oh about a million times, that Jillian is looking to marry her best friend, and he is obviously looking to marry someone he has a more passionate connection with. However, that hot tub scene between Jason and Jillian is about the steamiest thing I have ever seen on The Bachelor! You could see how into each other they were! All I can say is no matter who he picked, he is going to have some explaining to do to her after she watched that last night!!

My mother called to ask me if I "saw Jillian's hands all over Jason's behind" Couldn't miss it mom, couldn't miss it.

Molly still bugs the crap out of me, and I don't know why. I think she comes off as less sincere than the other two, and I thought Jason's observation about her family's body language was very interesting. I think he is afraid she is not as affectionate and loving as he is. She does seem a little uptight.

I watched everyone's body language really closely last night, and I noticed that whenever he is around Melissa his hands are constantly touching her. He is rubbing her arm, or her shoulders, he smiles right into her eyes, her kisses her on the lips, etc. He did a lot of cheek kissing and hugging with the other two.

Watching him watch their private message videos last night, it was pretty obvious who he picks. I just hope it works out for them.

 

[Jennifer S]

ITA Jill. How about when Melissa said "I love you" he kissed her right away - it was like he was telling her I love you too. When the others said he just smiled.

 

[happygirl]

I cried last night during the bachleor. I think him amd Melissa are such a cute couple. When she was coming to greet him he ran up to her I don't think he ran to the others like that. He is always touching and holding her. It just a totally different vibe with her then the others.

With that said it seems like the Bachelor always edits it to make one girl seem like the sure winner and the other the dark horse. The dark horse usually wins so with that said I'm not sure I can count Molly out just yet.

 

[ter-moo]

Did you notice at the very end when he was standing there with the final two, he said everything while looking ONLY at Melissa? It was like he left Molly out of the conversation altogether! That plus everything else (like what you've all already mentioned) makes it look like it's Melissa.

Maybe he picks one, dates her for a couple of months and then decides he should've picked a different one and THAT'S what gets revealed on the "intimate After the Rose" thingie.

OR, maybe after watching him with all those girls, Ty's mom is disgusted and fights for custody of Ty and he has to give him up, thus making him bitter about whomever he chooses.

 

[Minnie's Pal]

I don't think there is a pregnancy involved. With something that big, there would definitely be some kind of hint in the "teasers" they show.

Which leaves me clueless as to what the big deal is... Maybe he does pick DeAnna (thus the reason no one is at the final interviews - everyone is still so mad that he would go through the whole process with all of these ladies only to go back to someone who has already dumped him once.) If he brought Jillian back, I'm not sure that would be such a big deal. The only other thing I can think of is if Melissa's parents aren't cool with it (which, in that case, they just wouldn't come to the final interview - it still should not be a big deal.) And, having heard how important having her family's support is to Jason numerous times now, I'm not sure Jason would go through with something if there was a blow up with her parents.

And one more thing, have you noticed there hasn't been any teasers to the ladies at the final rose ceremony... In every season in the past, it shows different short clips of him at the ceremony with each girl. Hmmmmmmmm..........

 

[chisnpeke]

Does anyone know why we have to wait for 2 weeks for the finale?

 

[flipflop]

I thought for sure Molly was going home tonight!!!!!!!

Me too and I still think she should have been sent home. I get the "fake" vibe from her - she just doesn't come across as being sincere (or warm for that matter).
