"Well, I certainly wasn&amp;#x27;t there for the &amp;quot;right&amp;quot; reasons, but it was a journey I&amp;#x27;ll never forget... Thanks to The Bachelor franchise reaching 25 (!) seasons, Warner Bros. invited journalists to spend an evening at the mansion&amp;amp;#8212;complete with a rose ceremony and all! But, that&amp;#x27;s where things got a little funny. Current Bachelor Sean Lowe was at the top of everyone&amp;#x27;s interview list, but what was he going to say that we hadn&amp;#x27;t heard before? He certainly wasn&amp;#x27;t going to tell me if he was engaged&amp;amp;#8212;or even if he found love&amp;amp;#8212;so I thought, &amp;quot;You know, let me ask him to do something that no one else will.&amp;quot; And with that, I borrowed a fellow journalist&amp;#x27;s engagement ring, gave it to Sean, and then THIS happened! I&amp;#x27;M ENGAGED!!!!!! (Cue the cheesy Bachelor music). OK, OK, not really. Here&amp;#x27;s our fake happily-after-ever picture! (Check out the rose!) What&amp;#x27;s hysterical is that even though I was posting on Facebook all night that I was going to the Bachelor mansion, almost 40 of my Facebook friends thought I was actually engaged when I posted those pictures! Oy. But props to Sean for totally committing to the moment and giving all of those in attendance a good laugh. Speaking of which, those Stagliano boys got a little jealous. Guys, really, you don&amp;#x27;t have to fight over me. They&amp;#x27;re all good now. By the way, I still can&amp;#x27;t tell which one is which. Oh, and you&amp;#x27;ll be happy to know that they are both doing great and both are in love (of course Stephen is married to ex-Bachelorette Deanna Pappas). Ready to go on a tour of the mansion now? Here&amp;#x27;s the driveway to the mansion (and no, it was not slicked down with rainwater to make it look all nice and shiny). Best looking group of reality people I&amp;#x27;ve ever met! Some of the rose ceremony and first night dresses were on display from seasons past. Jake Pavelka and Deanna Pappas with the Stagliano brother that either is or isn&amp;#x27;t her husband. Check out the original pictures of Deanna, Jillian, and Trista used on the show! Trista and I were cracking up over her outfit (or lack thereof!) Her response? &amp;quot;Hey, we were only a couple years out of the &amp;#x27;90s!&amp;quot; In real life, Jillian (or Jilly as I call her) is a dear friend of mine. I love this girl to pieces, and am so happy she has found love again! I told her that now she has to go find me a husband. Molly Mesnick (currently in her third trimester), holds up her original Bachelor picture. She&amp;#x27;s doing great and can&amp;#x27;t wait to meet Baby Mesnick. (They don&amp;#x27;t know the sex... good for them! Love a surprise!) Jason and Molly Mesnick, a Stagliano, and Trista Sutter. Here&amp;#x27;s the infamous kitchen. I can guarantee you that if I were ever to go on this show (but it&amp;#x27;s not happening!), I&amp;#x27;d spend all my time in here. The grand foyer. The tiled floor is the hardest thing to walk on in heels (and I was sober!). How anyone hasn&amp;#x27;t broken an ankle on that floor is beyond me. Here&amp;#x27;s one of the bedrooms where the contestants sleep. It&amp;#x27;s certainly not the Four Seasons of beds. Check out the shower! ...and the bathtub! Here are some Bachelor/Bachelorette fun facts! Throughout the 25 seasons, there have been.... 2 contestants who fell asleep during the first night&amp;#x27;s party. 5 ambulance arrivals. 15 private jets flown. 26 musical guest performances 35 hot tubs utilized 36 countries visited 47 helicopter rides 64 fantasy suites 228 episodes 1,231 roses handed out (and counting!) The funniest part of the evening (aside from my proposal, of course) was when Jake tried to convince me to do the Bachelor one day. Not. Gonna. Happen. (Mom and Dad, you&amp;#x27;re welcome!) Tell me which Bachelor you&amp;#x27;d want to propose to you?!"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
