Jason Mesnick digs mustard, brunettes and Sela Ward look-alike in premier of The Bachelor

clipped from www.examiner.com The first episode of this season’s "The Bachelor: Sleepless in Seattle" aired tonight and it was true to its tired but always fun-to-watch form. Chris Harrison promises that it will be "the most romantic season ever." Jason says he has found his true match. This year’s lady to watch is Nikki, aka, Sela Ward look-alike. Sela, I mean Nikki, was seen wearing a Ms. Illinois sash and tiara while cleaning her home but is most remembered because she received the coveted first impression rose.  I think she's Nikki Kaapke - the 2006 winner of Miss. Illinois International. (Sela Ward pictured below) Ladies on the road to love: Government teacher Lauren
