That's why I also believe it was all planned..

After what DeAnna did to him, why would he turn around and do that to another person, after going through that gut wrenching experience?

Throwing things...

Petals said...

Molly won't reject him; she's been dating him for 6 wks.

Anonymous said...

Wishy, washey, wimpy wuss! Make a decision & stick with it. If it doesn't work out with Molly maybe he can call Jillian or Deanna. Hell, maybe his ex-wife will give him another chance.

I'm very disappointed in our little Jason!

Sydney said...

Wow, she has tears running down her neck

Sydney said...

woah, we're onto the second page on the first night!!!! Hope everyone can find us

Sydney said...

Melissa is years more mature than Jason.

PlaidChick said...

Stop crying you pansy!!

TERD

PlaidChick said...

This guy has a degree in psychology.... he obviously failed personality 101

Petals said...

Ork!!! Hey! WHere ya been?

joy n said...

I was SO hoping all those rumors weren't true. I really don't think I could stomach another season of this. And it's not over yet. A half hour tonight and an hour tomorrow. I shudder to think what will come next. How thoroughly disappointing this is.

Anonymous said...

So he breaks up with Melissa on TV-total ass****. The least he could do is not try to start something with Molly on the same night...

PlaidChick said...

ATFR is usually taped in front of an audience right?

Petals said...

Watch their phony reactions to seeing each other "again". ABC must truly believe we are idiots.

OK he cries more then the annoying BB chick, what was her name?

Petals said...

Anon - any "normal" or real man would not do any of this A) i.n front of cameras, B) on the same night. But Jason isn't a normal man, nor a real man for that matter.
As long as he has an audience, he'll do anything. He's a monkey, and like my daddy says, "Feed the monkey, watch him $hit"

PlaidChick said...

AMBER!!!

Petals said...

Keep repeating over & over that they haven't seen each other... yeah right. That'll convince us..

DAYYYM

PlaidChick said...

She has way too much hope for me to think they haven't seen each other or spoken...

joy n said...

Is this really all a lie?

Sydney said...

I just find it rally hard to believe that Molly is totally faking it right now. I mean, they aren't professional actors -- I can understand Shayne or whomever maybe could find this easier, but if it were me, I don't care what I signed, I could not act that well if I'd been seeing Jason for 6 weeks. Unless maybe they told me that we can be together if I just get through this and make it believable... I don't know. Could any of you be that convincing as MOlly is?

Sydney said...

Well Chris, this is a gig, but is it really worth it? I wonder if he's sick of it.

Sydney said...

Nice, he says it' s been a long time. if you're right Petals then I'd just rather they call this a soap opera and let me watch it for that if I wanted to.

Petals said...

Syd - why else would Molly even get all dolled-up to make this trip? Why would the chick who got dumped go BACK on camera?
Plus, you know they've been seeing each other. You read the same stuff. So far, every single spoiler has been spot-on.

Sydney said...

I don't know Petals, she seems like she is surprised by this, He doesn't seem so natural. but she does.

Petals said...

Love life with Jason is like Short Attention Span Theater.

Wonder if everything with Jason is that quick...? hehehe

Petals said...

I believe the spoilers. The rumor mill has gained ALOT more credibility this season than ABC.

Sydney said...

I never read anywhere that they have been seeing each other. I think I only got that from you.
And every girl or guy in the F2 has to get dressed up and come on this show to see the person who dumped them again. I know you said you haven't watched the previous seasons.

You may be right, I'm just saying it doesn't look that way to me.

Sydney said...

Borghese dated two of the girls on his season after he broke it off with the girl he chose.

PlaidChick said...

He's grasping for words, she has nothing to say...

He's sitting there saying, what I did to Melissa was awful.. my question to him would be, what about what you did to me just 6 weeks ago?

Petals said...

Molly's sister had a baby a few wks ago. Jason was with Molly at the hospital. It wasn't a "public" outing, so it was permitted by ABC. A nurse leaked it.

I have give credit where credit is due, and so far, every rumor is true. Up to this point, The only fibbers are the ones on camera.

Anonymous said...

I really don't think that Molly is faking it, she is just not that good of an actress. Besides she keeps looking at Chris like she doesn't know if this is a joke or not

Sydney said...

I just don't get why they'd do this on camera except that he and Molly end up really working and they hope in the end they will be another on camera marriage and be a Bachelor "success". That most will forget the shitty way they ended up together if they end up ruly happy, having babies, etc, like Trista and Ryan. Pressure's on folks!

joy n said...

She does seem genuinely surprised. I still think she should tell him to go to hell.

Unknown said...

She's an idiot, and yeah the rumor mill mentioned it on the abc blogs....

plus there's this one

http://www.getmarried.com/deanna/livechat/

Sydney said...

She seems sincere, but he just seemed so stilted. Gee, I hope she makes him a better man. GOOD LIUCKIE

Petals said...

Syd, this show has gotten me so burned. I'm now totally jaded.
To me, none of this seems genuine. Sorry, I don't mean to come off so abrasive, but geesh - the public just got bent over and rooked royally by ABC and this schmuck!

Sydney said...

Thanks Dee, I didn't see that. I'll check it out. But if that's all true, how can they do this without being pro actors? SHE KISSES HIM? THAT WAS QUICK!!!!

joy n said...

You're second choice, Molly. Where's that dignity you showed earlier?

Anonymous said...

I just realized what bugs me about her. She always looks like like she just smelled a fart!!

If this was filmed in January then it would make sense that they could have been dating for the last 6 weeks & they probably hadn't seen eachother prior to that. Know what I mean?

Unknown said...

OK yeah that was totally scripted there's no way any woman would be that nice after getting dumped by him earlier on national tv.... She made that way too easy, definitely bad acting

Sydney said...

Now this little speech sound so scripted. And a set up for tomorrow night.

Sydney said...

oh Jason, stop talking while you're ahead.

Sydney said...

I'm sorry, I would not warm up that fast to him.

joy n said...

Yes, he loves her. Until next week when he realizes that Jillian is the one he truly loves.

PlaidChick said...

He said the same thing to Melissa

"I don't think this could end on a better note"

Producers high fiving each other...

I'm waith Petals, this rubs me the wrong way for some reason

Sydney said...

Now the music comes up and we see them hugging like he just proposed to her.

Anonymous said...

Okay, they both are disgusting me right now, show a little restraint please.
She is a fool to believe him right now. I don't see this working out.
He is officially the biggest jerk I have ever seen.

Absolutely no class

Anonymous said...

He just dumped his fiance on national TV & he's mashing lips with another woman already! The body isn't even cold yet!

No class!!

PlaidChick said...

I agree with yall, I wouldn't be rekissing the dude who dumped me 6 weeks ago, and run off stage

PlaidChick said...

Any of you guys on FaceBook?

Anonymous said...

Jason you're disgusting. It's pretty obvious that Jason & Molly have been together since the "fake" break up. Melissa deserves so much better than this slime ball.

Sydney said...

ORK, Petals means they were dating each other for the 6 week before THIS show was filmed. And all this was totally faked, scripted, acted by them. Right Petals?

Also, I'm sure there was more time between her hearing this and then kissing him but they didn't show it. BUt yeah, I'd hold off on going there even if I was happy about it if I were on TV. He'd have to answer a whole lot of questions first.

Sydney said...

Plaid, yes.

Petals said...

Jason is in love, yes - with himself! A pipsqueak before, he hires a personal trainer, buys a tan and goes on a revenge dating rampage.

Sydney said...

Dee -- it was Wahmber - AMBER

Anonymous said...

What a jerk! I wouldn't believe a damn thing he told me! So does he take the ring off Melissa's finger and give it to Molly?

Melissa is much better off without that creep.

Petals, I sat back and did not post during all the friction with Anonymous. But it looks like your source was right on the mark.OrkMommy, I love what you called him -- wishy,washey, wimpy wuss! And he is not even a little bit of a gentleman.

I think he wanted to get a little more TV time for himself. If he had a decent bone in his body he would have waited a couple of months and then let Melissa break up with him. Guess he didn't want to be dumped again -- and could care less who he humiliated.

Nuff said. I am going to go brush the bad taste out of my mouth.

Petals said...

Ork, yes what Syd said. I believe J & Molly were seeing one another before he broke up with Mel. Absolutely. He would never have dumped Mel without knowing he had a plan B.

Laurie said...

Thanks for all the great entertainment tonight. I've never watched this show but you all made it come alive to me with your comments. I love this group!

rozee said...

What a scumbag.........and she isn't much better. He loved the limelight. So what is the show about tomorrow? Is that when we will see the blue dress and the ring?

joy n said...

After tomorrows show, I am done with this "reality" show. I refuse to invest my couch potato time with the possibility of another jerk like Jason turning up again. Who knows what will be done to top this fiasco?

Petals said...

Becky - you're right on - pass the mouthwash.

Unknown said...

OK so DeAnna was also severely edited.... she didn't want him back, she was only giving him advice.

http://www.getmarried.com/deanna/livechat/

Sydney said...

rozee, I imagine they let us see the couple truly in love and happy, planning a wedding. Maybe they will announce that they are engaged... and if that is so, then Jason will have proposed to three women (that we know of, lol) in less than a year!

Anonymous said...

I hope no one watches tomorrow night. Those 2, Jason & Molly deserve each other. They're both nuts and mean. I'm done with this show!!

Melissa I hope you find a real man not this pretend one.

rozee said...

....but remember there is always Deanna waiting in the wings too.

Petals said...

Now that all the trash has been spilled and the proverbial laundry is hanging out, I hope that this will serve as an olive branch to those that I may have offended by leaking the info earlier. I meant no harm, and now you can see that I wasn't a liar.
Bygones.
Plus, isn't it so much easier to hate Jason?

Anonymous said...

I feel like I've just watched Joaquin do a Letterman interview. Is it real or is it a put on? I agree there was some naturalness to it, Sydney. If they had emailed back and forth, maybe she didn't know for sure if he was really going to go through with breaking up with Melissa...after all, she misread him before. So maybe she thought she knew, but wasn't sure if she was going to get slammed again.

And why didn't anyone fix Molly's hair for tonight. Did they run out of time before she was due on stage?

Does Jason have a hair piece? The very top of his head looks slightly different in color..more than Chris's combover.

If you turn the sound off, and just watch the camera angles and the multiple zoom ins and outs and close ups of expression and odd lighting..it looks like one of the foreign soap operas.

Okay, I'm done. I couldn't comment while it was on,so had to add them all at once.

All in all an interesting evening. Thank you for the invite to watch...I am glad I tuned in and I wish them all well.

PlaidChick said...

I just got a tweet from another blogger's site that said "The Bachelor needs to renamed The Insufferable A---Hole"

Petals said...

Siz - LMAO! Great observations about his plugs being a different color! HAHAH

Terry is a Texan! said...

well I am watching it and I see zero chemistry with Molly/jason/Ty Im sick that all this garbage surfaced....I really used to love this show...now it seems like a mean joke on us all.

I am on facebook......

PlaidChick said...

Petals... in reality shows, I have to know, so when I stumbled onto those rumors, I pretty much figured there was some truth to it. Access and US weekly usually don't publish stuff that is fake.

If you go blogging, you have to be prepared that people are going to spoil it.. like me... I'll put it out there, if you don't want to know, don't read it...

Now If I knew you were talkin trash, I would of shown up weeks earlier!! MUAH

PlaidChick said...

OMG totally OT...

I forgot to tell yall..

we got a new baby back in January... a Maine Coone name Elliot. He was 8 months old when we got him, a cousin of Clooney, and he's living at my parents house. We're looking at getting a 12 week old guy when the breeder has their new litter in a few weeks.

OK be my buddy on FB plaidchick@aol.com

Anonymous said...

It's just courtesy to everyone else to write SPOILER ALERT before you give them.

Petals said...

Plaid, THANKS soul sista! I agree with you about blogging. Geesh, it isn't like I opened anyones' presents before Christmas, LOL.

I had a Maine Coon named Lucien. He lives with his father in NJ now, but he's a happy fat cat, literally he's huge! Aren't they the best?

Anonymous said...

Petals it's 'w' again. Read you were sick. Hope you'll feel better soon ! I don't like the word codeine...I'm allergic to it. Since I knew how it was going to end I wasn't shocked. I made my husband watch it. I actually kept it a secret.Can't believe it.He acted like he didn't want to watch (a girl show)but he got hooked too.He kept saying..."he's a jerk". So, I started reading this blog to him. Whenever someone said something negative about J. He'd say "That's what I said". "I agree with them". It was funny. Thanks for the entertainment !You guys are hilarious.Do you guys do this with American idol too ? Let me know.Good night.

PlaidChick said...

Petals..

---> Elliot, Dan the plant is done..

-----
I usually put spoiler alert on my posts...

They are the best kitties, though I love my pound kitty Emma. We were crushed when we lost Clooney last year. I was so happy when my Mom called me and said OK call the breeder, I want another cat. I never thought she would get past it.

Elliot came to visit my house a couple of weeks ago, and he just laid in my lap like a baby. We love him-- Emma not so much.

Sydney said...

Aaah, but Jackie's got a certain atmosphere she's created by editing out some of the harsher comments and that's why it's fun to be here. It's not like the other boards -- one reason so many like it here.

Life it brutal at times, I don't want to come here for anything but entertainment and camaraderie. I can go to other sites for that kind of thing, and I don't, lol.

Putting up spoiler alerts before telling it here seems to be the thing. Night all.

Delee said...

Great one, Orkmommy, I could not have said it better...
"He just dumped his fiance on national TV & he's mashing lips with another woman already! The body isn't even cold yet!"

I had to leave last night, my stomach was turning. Flabbergasted is too mild a word. Any dignity that Molly had is gone when she sucked lips with him. Did she stop and think maybe after a few weeks, I will be in Melissa's shoes? The DumpE?

I have not liked Jason since last time and now just hold him in disgust. What a worm!!!

ABC said tis am that this has been the most successful B in 5 seasons and there were 3 mil more viewers. Sad that this is what the nation wants to watch. I thought this show was to be a fairy tale-ending, not who can we humiliate on national TV.

I wish we could have a side from Chris. He seems to just sit or stand and roll with it. I would love some inside comments from him!

Anonymous said...

SHAME ON JASON MESNICK!!! He has spent the last 3 months saying that he would NEVER bring someone home to Ty that wasn't going to be a part of his life....LIAR!! If he knew right after Molly left that his heart was broken and had been thinking about her since NZ than he never should have made Melissa a part of his family.

As for Molly, last night I lost all respect for her. Even if she was still in love with him, and this was suppose to be a "surprise" she could of had some respect for Melissa and not jumped into his arms!

I know why they didn't have a live audience....they didn't want people to see just how scripted this show is. Did you all notice how much Jason and Molly kept looking at the camera?? Do you think they were getting some guidance off-screen?

So, tonight the only thing left is for them to tell us how in love they are and that she is moving to Seattle. Let's confuse that little boy more...."Ty, here is another woman that's going to be your new step-mom!!"

Stupid Jason....."there was no chemistry after the show"....DUH!!! Why do you think only 2 relationships have lasted out of 13 seasons??!

I'm done!

Anonymous said...

Couple of thoughts I had as I was trying to wind down & go to sleep last night...

Melissa should have kept the ring & sold it on eBay then either taken a long vacation or donated the money to charity!

Wonder if Melissa's dad & brother would be willing to be on TV now in order to kick Jason's behind? They could do another special & call it "The Bachelor - Cage Match".

Wonder if Molly's parents are proud of her now? She made a complete fool of herself when she was locking lips with him right after he dumped his fiance on national TV.

Wonder what Ty will think of all this when he's older. You know this stuff will hang around on the internet forever and ever. I don't think he's setting the best example for that little boy.

RBennie said...

So all the spoilers turned out to be true. What a disappointment Jason turned out to be. It was absolutely inexcusable the way Melissa was treated last night. Although I thought Molly's surprise was pretty convincing, the one glaring error that I thought she made was never asking about Melissa. Wouldn't anyone with any decency at least ask if Melissa was okay? Since the spoilers have all been true so far, I also believe that Jason wanted to choose Molly from the beginning, but was "convinced" to do things this way for ratings. What other possible reason could there be to do something like that to someone on live tv?

Sydney said...

I guess I would only like to figure out what really happened... if all of this was planned in advance and who knew what. You do sign your life away on these contracts, and in the moment, the producers may have suggested a scenario that seemed something to go with and then

realitysteve.com has an informative post up today, especially if you scroll down to the e-mail he has in bold. But I don't even know if I believe that. Whatev.

BTW, Deanna claims she got zero pay for doing the Bachelorette.

Anonymous said...

Rbennie - She did ask about Melissa. That was actually her first question after she was shocked/scripted/whatever. Asking about her was probably the only classy thing she did last night.

RBennie said...

Thanks Orkmommy. I totally missed that. That must have been one of the many times I turned the channel for a minute.

joy n said...

Apparently, Syd, she at least got a free vacation in New Zealand. And her face on TV again.

Sydney said...

HI Joy -- she alluded to not getting paid for that, yes, but getting both of those things is a lot, lol. But she also said she didn't get paid for the whole season that she WAS the bachelorette. I imagine she got a trainer to get in shape for free, and got to keep some clothes too...

Anonymous said...

Hey...someone asked if anyone here is on Facebook. Can I suggest that whoever is the "keeper of the email address list" send out a message asking if anyone is on Facebook and wants to hook up with others, to email their name to the group so we can find each other & become "Friends".

Just a thought...

Petals said...

Hey Ork - I loved your cage match comment - LMAO!

No wonder Melissa's parents didn't want to get involved; maybe they smelled a rat from the beginning. Jason's track record is about as sketchy as his resume'. Good for them for keeping their dignity.

Anonymous said...

My words to Molly.....good luck and don't unpack your bags in Seattle. As Dr. Phil says, the best predicter of future behavior is past behavior!!

He said things were good with Melissa until the cameras stopped rolling. Molly and Jason haven't had that time yet. Most likely the same will happen with them!! It's called Karma!

OFF TOPIC: Orkmommy, last year you and the farmer were working on "a special project" how is that coming?? I went to your blog and didn't see anything new since early Jan. Is everything OK?

Delee said...

An article at people.com about Jason has an unheard of 2422 comments. Would love to read them all, but would take forever.

Also alot of people commenting are switching the two girls. That is funny!

PlaidChick said...

I still have thoughts about The Bachelor...

Even if none of rumors about it being planned vs. "this is real life" how could anyone believe a word that comes out of the man's life?

He "had" to break it off with Melissa on camera because of the contracts they signed. Ummm was that a new add this year because every one else broke up off camera.

People Magazine is saying he swears on his son's life that none of it was scripted. You really think anyone is going to believe him?

Whether or not you believe the stuff out there, this show has been tarnished big time.

I'll be around to watch ATFR2.

Anonymous said...

As far as I'm concerned if none of this was scripted than that makes him a bigger sleaze!! If it was his idea to break it off with Melissa on camera and at a minimum of 2 weeks after he knew he "loved" Molly than he has no class and I pity his family! This is like watching the hamsters on BB...their families must be so embarassed at their conduct(I'm including Molly in that).

I will be watching ATFR 2 to see what "the big surprise" is that ABC has been eluding to. Of course, I may have to peek in here when I know you east coasters have seen it.
LOL

joy n said...

Nana, On the Jimmy Kimmel Show last night, Jason said "All parties agreed to appear on ATR 1 or else the breakup wouldn't have been done on TV." He said he would have preferred to not do it there. I have a feeling, tho, that Melissa may not have agreed if she'd known how heavily edited it would be. I've heard that she said a lot more that we didn't get to hear.

Sydney said...

JoyN -- thanks for filling us in. I couldn't watch. So fine, all parties agreed to appear, but that doesn't mean Melissa agreed knowing she was getting dumped. What a wussy statement.

Plaid --WHEN oh WHEN will people stop swearing on anyone's lives on these stoopid shows?

Anonymous said...

I don't think that I am going to watch tonight...I am just through with the wishy-washy Jason.
But I have loved talking to all of you. Petals, I know that you took some heat but I enjoyed your comments so don't change.
Hi Sydney.. I always enjoy your viewpoint.
Have a great night everyone

PlaidChick said...

Ohh! The other thing that was said on people.com is Jason said he needed to talk to Melissa in person and they weren't allowed to see each other between the final rose ceremony and ATFR1

WRONG... he said they spent the holidays together, so as Reality Steve says, either he was lieing to Kimmel back in the beginning of January or he's lieing now.

Either way he's a liar.

I'm so sick of him saying "I had too."

I think the big shocker will be Jillian being the next Bacholette. Ohh the blue dress theory.. didn't DeAnna wear blue during her drama? So the editing could of been showing him and DeAnna..

I haven't heard one person yet male or female, TV shows etc side with him and Molly.

joy n said...

Syd, Jason also said last night that Melissa knew they were "not a couple" before ATR 1. I doubt she knew, tho, that he was not only going to officially end the relationship, but also resume his relationship with Molly immediately after. I think Molly is a fool. Or desperate.

Anonymous said...

Has anyone heard the expression "crocodile tears". Every time this tweeb has broken down sobbing, I have thought crocodile tears. Another thing that has turned me off on the loser is his smile. It always looked fake to me.

Someone posted that if the show was not scripted, then it makes it worse. I agree. J-erk has no class at all!

heavily edited damage control

One of the girls looks so much like Sandra Bullock that she could pass as her sister. I think it was Nikki.

I only caught the last couple of shows. I don't think I could sit through an entire season. I just have always felt it was phony.

The ladies on stage and most of the audience are being way too easy on him, IMO. That last guy Chris spoke to was right on, tho.

I think PlaidChick hit the nail on the head when she said,"heavily edited damage control" about the audience.

Oh, but Jason, you didn't HAVE to do it on TV.

I had a feeling that Molly's last words to him before she got in the limo were what ate at him.

Ohh but Jason, you told Jill he wasn't looking for another best friend, he already did that with wife #1..

All of this will have to put somewhat of a damper on his and Molly's relationship. Unless ice runs thru both their veins.

joy n said...

Yes, Molly's dream came true at the expense of Melissa's broken heart. Her dream may well turn into her worst nightmare.

I don't care who the next Bachelorette is. I won't be watching. This show has disappointed me tremendously.

Sounds like they're shacking up on weekends already.

oh Joy, I love you You just crack me up!

Sydney said...

didn't they announce who the next bachelorette would be on WTA?

Anonymous said...

What do you think people will think of you guys moving forward?

I could almost respect him if he had said "I really don't care! It's our lives & we have to live them when the cameras go off."

He could have said it with conviction without being nasty...

joy n said...

They're about to, Syd. After the commercial, of course.

Sydney said...

good luck sister.

Total manufacture that she has ground swelling support. It's just because they no longer could ask Molly and Melissa was running for the hills.

joy n said...

Not all of the audience loves her!

joy n said...

These people all fall in and out of love like divers in a pool.

It "us" who have made their lives really hard over the last couple of weeks.. well don't be only a reality show because it will either show up on TV or in print..

Godnight all!

Thank you Jackie!

FYI - Entertainment Weekly has an interview with Bachelor exec, Mike Fleiss, in which he "answers questions" that everyone is asking. Probably more spin, but an interesting read.

Reality TV World says The Bachelorette with Jillian starts on May 18. I won't be watching.


They also have two interviews.

One with Chris Harrison saying he expects a retraction and an apology from US Weekly in regards to an article stating that the whole shebang was "fabricated" by the show's producers.

Another has Trista Sutter and Andy Baldwin slamming Jason.

Well, I am glad this is over. I much prefer Big Brother and Survivor to the Bachelor franchise. Seems like alot of hurt and embarrassment for the girls, and for what? A rose? Count me out!

Bring on Big Brother! Or Survivor! Or ANYTHING ELSE!

Two last notes on this subject. From RTVW:

Mike Fleiss says Jason wasn't contractually bound to break up with Melissa on the air. He never asked not to. As for viewers of the show who threatened to stop watching the show because of the finale, Fleiss seemed to stop just short of saying "Good riddance" to them.

Jillian Harris wasn't Fleiss' first choice for Bachelorette. She was his third option. Molly had been seriously considering doing it until she became Jason's choice. Melissa was asked and didn't want to.

THanks Joy -- I read Fliess's interview and I don't know that I believe him. He said nothing was in the contract but there are all kinds of ways they could have set him up to do that. What remians is no matter what, Jason didn't say NO WAY, forget it, if he thought it was wrong.

And I totally felt from the Women Tell All show when there was all this fake applause for Jillian, and Chris kept saying how popular she was, and then virtually announced she'd be the next bachelorette, that they must have chosen her because Molly had said no. And as soon as we realized Melissa got dumped, I was sure they asked her to do it as well, and fortunately she said NO!
