  • Next Bachelor?

    Do you think they will pick a bachelor from this season of 'The Bachelorette?' If so, who would you like to see as the next bachelor? I think I might like to see Jake or Michael...

  • How funny would it be if Molly was pregnant?

    You know how Molly and Jason "spent the night" in the tent on their one-on-one date awhile back? How funny would it be if Molly was pregnant!?!?!

    I can't believe... hide « show »

    The look on Jason's face when he sent Molly home said something. Maybe this was in his plan all along....well maybe not his plan, but the situation for which he "signed up". Sure made for ratings! All along we were led to believe Melissa was the one who had really captured his heart. He always seemed to favor her. I can't believe that six weeks later he's all of a sudden so "in love" with Molly. Breaking Melissa's heart for ratings?! Jason should truly be ashamed of himself, as should the show's producers. Melissa....you can do Soooo much better than Jason. Best of luck to you with the dancing gig!

    Now we know why your divorced and single... Jason and women is like taking a child that never ate candy and putting them in a candy factory, of course their going to go ape sh*t! To sum him up in 5 words: Delusional,desperate,square,immature & Delusional hide « show »

    If Jason Mesnick is looking for love, then perhaps he should not have chosen two 25 year old girls for the final rose ceremony, especially considering the fact that he is not only older, but divorced and with a child as well. It was foolish and irresponsible of him to believe that after the cameras are off and the helicopter rides and trips to New Zealand are over, he would be able to maintain a "real" relationship with either of these women. It has become quite clear that the show has the ability to sweep not only the potential suitors off their feet, but the bachelors and bachelorettes as well, which gives all those involved a false and somewhat delusional sense of intense feelings and love for one another. One would think that Jason in particular, with a BA in psychology, would have come to this realization, however, given the outcome of this past 13th season, he clearly has not, which sadly only highlights his true lack of emotional and intellectual maturity. It is evident that while he lacks in maturity, he more than makes up for it, by using his astounding ability to mask and deflect the down right appalling nature of his actions through the use of guilty facial expressions, wherever appropriate and by relentlessly repeating such statements as "I followed my heart" and "I did what's best for everyone". His use of facial expressions almost made me press info on my remote to make sure I wasn't really watching Days of our Lives. And seriously, lets be real, if you really listen to his relentless rambling about how he followed his heart and Melissa has every right to be mad and he excepts blame and blah blah blah, it makes you wonder, is he saying all this for Melissa or is he really just saying everything to uphold that false "perfect guy" image, and you must admit, even Melissa gave off the impression that she's not buying it anymore, which was made kind of obvious by her blow off "yeah, yeah, yeah" responses, accented by the "I'm not even listening to your bulls**t" tone. Its disturbing, how fickle Jason's love for these women really is (3 women in two shows), perhaps it might be time to grow up and stop running around chasing young girls, that without the help of a television show, wouldn't even let you buy them a drink. Lastly, one piece of advice... learn another "move" because the whole lean in for a kiss when you have nothing to say move, that you pathetically repeated over and over and over, really came off as lame and actually gave everyone a glimpse as to why you might be divorced and single in the first place.
    My Prediction: Jason and Molly will last a bit longer then he did with Melissa, simply because Molly was overjoyed that he broke it off with Melissa for her, meaning she got exactly what she wanted and because Jason was overjoyed with the fact that Molly actually still wanted him back, meaning he got exactly what he wanted. Now, these feelings of joy within them will keep them riding high for a little while, but of course, feelings like this don't last forever and when they fade, so will their relationship.

    7.5 Good

    Jason gave out 50 roses with the final one being to the wonderful Melissa. Only problem was he was torn between both women and ultimately made a very bad decision. Luckily for him Molly was still waiting for him. Lord knows why. hide « show »

    Well the show had me glued to my TV watching it but for all the wrong reason. so i guess from a ratings stand point it served its purpose. Jason is such an idiot and should be terribly ashamed for what he did. He took all this time to find the "woman of his dreams" only at the end to not even be sure. Why didnt he tell Melissa he wanted to try a relationship with her but not propose and lead her on all the way until they go to the reunion show. i hope Molly finally realizes what an idiot he is.

    Excellent ending! hide « show »

    This was the best ever ending of all the bachelor seasons I've seen. Jason loved two women in the end and made a huge mistake, which he immediately and subconsciously understood, but gave his all for the 6 weeks he spent with Melissa. It did not work out and so he made a bold move and fooled himself on national television. He knew that people would hate him, but you got to follow your heart.

    If I had been on Jason's shoes, Molly would have been my choice in the first place. Sweet, fun, smart and beautiful. Just like my wife.

    I don't believe that it came as a surprise to Melissa that Jason was going to dump her. She knew it already, when she walked to the stage.

    I wish all the best to Molly and Jason. I am sure that Melissa finds a true love some day. Stephanie should be the next bachelorette. She was amazing. Everybody liked her. She would pick the right man easily.

    2 Terrible

    I am absolutely astonished that they would even allow this to be aired.Some ppl are so shallow and un-caring. A persons feeling are not to be toyed with; and on TV. Hello folks have a heart. Jason is a *astard just as Melissa said. She deserves Better! hide « show »

    I think Jason is callus & if rumors are true , Melissa needs to sue the pants of off of them. How can anyone be so cold & shallow; it is 1 thing to promise someone a life of happiness but to turn @ & toss it right back on national TV as if nothing ever happened; well Jack**s'ish to me. He deserves to be miserable. I just hope Ty grows up to be a better man than his father ever thought of being! To think his family was worried Melissa/Molly was going to hurt him; well what about them? Do they condone his behavior? He never gave Melissa a "True" chance if he kept thinking about Molly. Molly should tell him to take a hike. DOUCHE BAG!
