Re: if you want major "bachelor" spoilers
I read this and was in complete AWE. If Jason did this, he'd be the biggest douchebag on the planet.
mboc, for you i c&p:
o here?s what I can tell you what went down in the finale:Jason chose Melissa in New Zealand. No reshoots, no editing, no nothing. All you sleuthers figured it out from Day 1. Which you were supposed to. That?s why I said ABC knew exactly what they were doing when they released the hand with the freckles and the pinky ring and all that stuff. Do you really think they?d make it that easy for you to know he proposes to Melissa in the finale? Just because it was Melissa in New Zealand, didn?t mean you knew the final one now. There?s your love story that they want you to believe. From day one, they?re gonna make it seem like it was Jason and Melissa. She visits him in Seattle. They?re working on a relationship, she?s the lucky girl. But from the beginning, they?ve been planning a shocking ending. And that shocking ending happens to come at the expense of Melissa.Right now, Jason and Melissa are not together.The first ?After the Final Rose? was filmed in late January. In the videos, I reference that it was filmed either Fri, Jan 23rd, or Sat, Jan. 24th. I?ve since been corrected. Pretty much the only thing I?ve been wrong about. It was actually done the Sunday before on the 18th. I found out a week later on the 25th, made some calls, sent some emails, and ran with this ?exclusive? news on the night of Jan. 27th, as you can clearly see in the blog.What happens at the ?ATFR?? Jason ends his engagement with Melissa, and begins a relationship with Molly. I wasn?t there, I don?t know what was said, or who it was said to, but at the taping, Jason dumped Melissa (which will be shown on national television to us) and begins dating Molly. Was there a proposal to Molly? As far as I know, on that date back in January, there was not a proposal. But currently, as we speak, Jason and Molly are together and have been for a while (which I will get to in a minute).The reason the 2nd ?ATFR? was added? I?m guessing to tell us about Jason and Mollys relationship, probably let us know how great she is with Ty, get a reaction from Melissa, and, this is just a guess, but I think Jason will propose to Molly on the ?ATFR 2?, if he hasn?t already. That?s complete speculation on my part. But the reason there?s an ?ATFR 2? is because they need to update people on how Jason and Molly are doing.ABC will present this whole scenario as Jason just changed his mind after thinking this over long and hard. I?m here to tell you I have every reason to believe he didn?t. This was all set in motion from the very beginning that there would be a storyline of: If you want to be with Molly, then you have to pick Melissa. We will have a breakup on the ?ATFR?, where you?ll dump Melissa, and say you want to start dating Molly. That?s what you?ll get the night of the finale.Here?s where I believe this whole story was fabricated.This is a struggling franchise, we know that. They?re 0-for-12 in producing marriages. So they know people are already skeptical about watching this show to see a love story and an engagement. Well, what?s one thing they?ve never done in the series history? Have the ?Bachelor? break up with the one he?s engaged to during the ?ATFR?, AND, end up taking the final two girl back. In this case, Molly. So when I said ABC ?Grew a brain and pulled a fast one?, I was referencing the fact they decided to show you Melissa getting the ring in early season previews thinking that they had given away the season. That was purposely done, so when he then breaks up with her, and gets back with Molly, that gives you the ?jaw dropper? or ?shocker?, since its never happened before. And don?t say you knew that all along, because no one did, other than a selected few. All you need to do is go back over past comments in my blogs to see how off everyone was with their guesses. Because when the Final Rose Ceremony ends, a lot of you would?ve said, ?That?s it. We?ve known it was her all along. Where?s the drama??I?D SAY THAT?S PRETTY SHOCKING. Picking Melissa in New Zealand, dating her for two months, then taping the ?ATFR? in January to break up with her only to get back with Molly. NO ONE had that scenario played out from the beginning. NO ONE. And how could you unless you knew the ?ATFR? was taped in January? I did, which is why I ran with the information that I had.BUT THAT?S NOT ALL. Some of you might ask, ?Why would Molly take him back?? Here?s where I can tell you where the season became a soap opera and is the best answer I can give you. From everything I?ve heard, I have been led to believe that this season was NEVER, EVER about Melissa. It?s always been about Molly. Jason and Molly?s connection was stronger than anyone elses in the house, everyone knew it, but they couldn?t just play that the whole season because it wouldn?t have been interesting. So they concocted a storyline of, ?Let him pick Melissa, and let us have a break up on the ?ATFR?, something we?ve never done before, AND have him start his relationship with Molly.? I?d say that?s shocking. Why? Because it?s never happened before, and this whole idea of Jason being ?wonderful single dad looking for love? would never be disputed because, well, my God, Jason Mesnick would never agree to such a thing. Ummmmm, he did.Some point during the season, it was established Jason and Molly were THE couple. I?ve been led to believe it was perfectly obvious to them that it was him and her, and Melissa was a distant 2nd. So what does the show do? Something they?ve never done before. They have the Bachelor dump his final one at the ?ATFR?, and start dating the woman he dumped in the finale, which is Molly. But as you?ll see, I?m going to be right about everything else. So I find it incredibly believable, that Jason was approached with this scenario to generate, buzz, ratings, etc and he agreed to it. You ask what I couldn?t wrap my head around? Well, that Jason agreed to this. But hey, he was doing what he was told which would make for a bombshell of an ending to the season. Fleiss saying, ?Just when you think it?s over, it?s not.? Well, here?s your proof. You?ll think it?s over when Jason proposes to Melissa in New Zealand, but its not since he dumps her two months later at the ?ATFR? so he can start seeing Molly.I feel horrible for Melissa. I really do. She was completely blindsided in this whole mess. She flys out to LA for an ?emergency ATFR taping? (remember, the ATFR?s usually aren?t taped until a week before the finale airs. Why would they have to tape it in late January if the finale wasn?t airing til March 3rd? Because it was all part of the plan), at that taping, she?s thinking her fianc? is going to tell her he?s over Molly 100%, but not only does she not hear that, and this is big, Jason has been SEEING Molly ever since the show stopped taping in November. That?s right. While he?s engaged to Melissa, he?s getting weekends with Molly on the weekends Melissa isn?t visiting Seattle. You can choose to believe that Jason just changed his mind after two months of dating Melissa and believe the ABC story. I?m here to tell you the reason he changed his mind, is because he was seeing Molly behind Melissa?s back.Read the contracts these contestants sign, and talk to anybody who has ever been involved with the show, once taping ends, these people, especially the ?Bachelor? and the final two girls, are under lock and key. Everything they do is monitored. They don?t want what happens at the final rose ceremony getting out. So you?re telling me that Molly was able to visit Jason in Seattle just because ?he was having second thoughts?, or, ?that he missed her.? Please. Like I said, believe it if you want, but I don?t buy it. Jason was seeing Molly from the time the taping of the show ended, til the time the ?ATFR? filmed in January. I think he tells this to Melissa during the taping, and if he does, more proof this was all set up from the get go.Now on to some questions I?m sure you have.Did Melissa know this was happening??At first, no, she didn?t. Talk about unlucky. How about showing up for the ?ATFR? taping thinking your fianc? is going to tell you that he?s completely over his dumpee, only to have him turn the tables on you, dump you on the spot, tell you he?s been seeing this dumpee on the weekends that he wasn?t with you, and now all the sudden you?re completely blindsided, embarrassed on national television, and now become the dumpee yourself? Melissa did not see this coming. Unfortunately, she was a pawn in this game and I feel awful for her.What?s Molly?s role in this??I think this is the million dollar question right now and I don?t know the answer to it. I don?t know if he told her at the Final Rose Ceremony everything that was going on. If I had to guess, I?d say no. I think they?d want an honest reaction from her. But honestly, I don?t not know the definitive answer to this question. I?ve been led to believe she wasn?t in on it. Everything points to Jason being approached by the producers with this storyline, and agreeing to go along with it for ratings purposes, since they knew this would be big.So did Jason intentionally do that to Melissa knowing he was getting rid of her that whole time??Remember, I told you there was something I couldn?t wrap my head around? That was it. I had a hard time believing Jason would go along with this scenario, BUT EVERYTHING I?VE BEEN LED TO BELIEVE, says he has. Do I know for a fact? No. But I think its pretty clear what?s going on here. The guy just didn?t change his mind after dating Melissa for a couple months. This was a scenario put in place from the beginning of the season.What about this great chemistry between Jason and Melissa??All manufactured. Did they like each other? Sure. You can see their chemistry because that?s what they want you to see. But just because you saw it, doesn?t mean it was there. Yes, they liked each other, but from all accounts, I?ve been led to believe that they people knew it was Molly very early on in the process. This season has never been about Melissa, it?s been about Molly.Jason said in interviews he was engaged and happy? How do you explain that?Yes, he was. All those interviews were done the first week the show aired. Try and find me a Jason interview that was done AFTER the 1st ?ATFR? was shot. So after Jan. 18th. You can?t because he hasn?t done one. And probably won?t do one. Why do you think Fleiss is saying things like, ?Just when you think it ends, it doesn?t?? That?s because he already has the 1st ?ATFR? in the can. It was shot in late January and Melissa got completely screwed. Although Fleiss will have you believe ?this is human emotions, and Jason struggled with his decision and ultimately changed his mind.? Uh huh. Sure he did. How about Host Chris recently saying ?It took a lot of guts for Jason to do what he did.? Some of you were confused as to why he said that. You shouldn?t be now. Took a lot of guts to dump Melissa on national television and start dating Molly. A lot of guts.?
Oh my gosh, all this drama just makes me giddy!
Great sleuthing Wan!?
I read this earlier today too. I think Jason is a good candidate so I hope this is not true. If it is, please at least let it be Jillian and not Molly.?
That's exactly what I was thinking. ?I've never been a Molly fan.?
Confession: everytime I hear the name Molly, I think of Wan's dog :X
