I don’t like you very much right now!!!

You are great Steve! Keep the info coming!

Steve, I didn’t doubt you for a minute…I know your intentions are always honest & sincere.

AHH! I’m dying over here! I love a good mystery!

Steve, I agree with Carolyn & Jill! I love your blog, and check it daily to make sure I don’t miss anything important. I’m hoping for someone other than Melissa so will try to be patient til the finale!

This season has been incredibly boring, I’d love it if TPTB faked the screencaps or filmed a dress rehearsal. I’d shake all their hands for pulling a fast one on the sleuthers. Now I’ll be really disappointed if the end result is exactly as predicted. This better be good Steve!

I guess after the finale you can say “I never told you guys you had the wrong F1″ but all your talk of freckles and pinky rings makes me think that is what you’re referring to.

hmmmm, Jason asked Jeremy to marry him??? LOL! Now that WOULD be a shocker.

Dear Reality Steve,
this show usually makes me heave,
and I watch it not to make believe
but to see what TPTB will conceive
as drama. Please, Steve,
tell me that I can believe
in your cryptic tease-
er. Please, Steve, please.
For once, I’m on bended knees.

maybe he gets back together with his ex?!!!

Thank you, Steve, for giving me hope that the season I’ve ZZZZed through may now give me some compelling reason to watch. You’ve actually unbunched my panties. But this’d better not be just another Fleiss shark jumping. I want JAWS proportions. Thankyouverymuch.

Brad is F1 and he and Jason go for a meatball sandwich!

Steve, never mind the sleuthers. They are just angry that you have smashed their Melissa fantasies They have to remember that it’s Jason who gets to make the decision, not them.

Hey there Steve! Glad to hear about the shake up this season. Believe it or not there is quite a big contingency over at FORT(me included) who watch the show simply for its snark value and have been bored to tears this season, so we are longing for some good shark jumping. By the way, not all of us have our panties in a bunch–some go commando on Mondays in prep for the show!

thanks steve,you are the best,that all i am saying,you were gracious with jeremy,and tried to get brad to do and interview,did not see it if that ever happen. i have a feeling it is the riddle that is all over the internet f4 become f4 but never f2 or f1. and also dee coming back right before jason makes a decision makes me think a little,not much because we know she is seeing ace,we know jason is engaged. we know dee has a problem of letting people go in her life unless it is her decision.oh btw steve jeremy interview great interview back then. also back with dee if it worth the weight maybe all the girls that are left let her know she is not in the game anymore,she is history she missed her chance,it time for melissa take control.

Surprised in a good way, or shockingly disappointing way?

Hey, surprise can be good sometimes – right????

LOL you rock Steve! getting the sleuthers all in a complete and utter tangled mess is always great! I think Melissa fans are going to be very disappointed
Keep up the good work!

Steve, this whole blog made me giggle…in my panties that are not in a bunch, heh. Keep the fun coming on an otherwise ho hum season. I have always kept an open mind about the final outcome. You rock!

Jason proposes to Melissa but she gives him back the ring, thus his bawling on the balcony. We will all need tissues for this. Engagement? Fib. Unless he hooks up with a production staffer.

You made my day! One thing I’d comment though is that FORT is not at all of a single mind in defending the screencaps/freckle/Melissa analysis or outcome. Many (most!) have cheered you loudly today, because we were bored silly by the season. I think the opposition is coming from another quarter entirely. Three cheers for surprises!

This is disturbing enough to make me wonder if I should just stop watching the show NOW. I was looking forward to a fantasy sweet ending (even if faked for only a month or two) but to think it might be disappointing – hey I can live without that!!!

Scandalous!! I tell you… Absolutely Scandalous!!!

Wow. ..I don’t recall Steve saying anything like this last season when everyone thought it would be Jason and it ended up as Jesse. What would shock Steve enough for him to say he’s still trying to wrap his head around it? The only thing that I can think of is perhaps it does have something to do with Deanna? Or maybe he really isn’t engaged even though we see Screencaps and he’s saying he is?

YAY YAY
What a way to spice up this show! You singlehandedly may have saved this snooze. Engaging brain and creative posibilities LOL Good for you …. and not all FORTers have their panties in a bunch … some of us, many of us, applaud you! Love the suspense! Keep up the GREAT blog!

hmm – but on Ellen show – I thought he said that he had fallen in love with the last 2 women – and that he was agonized over getting to the final 1 – which wasn’t going to be very cool when F1 saw that on the last episode….

I have been lurking here for a long time and never said anything but feel compelled to do so now. Whenever you are doing this type of show, or for example a live pageant all of the girls must practice in the event they are the “one”. It does not prepare them for the sheer emotion of it but prepares the where to stand, etc. etc portion. There is nothing anywhere that says the picture of the arm with the moles on it was not shot during a rehearsal as Melissa as the “one”. What I have noticed much more than ever this year though is how we don’t see anything of some of the girls. There was one whole episode we never saw Jillian. And on the group date last week – did I miss it or did we ever see what Melissa’s act was?

Things that make me go hmmm…

well i guess he asks DEANNA again to marry
him and she says YES

Steve, will you accept this rose? Please? I’ll even throw in a bag of dog treats for Maddie.

I’m thrilled with this news, absolutely thrilled. It confirms my gut feeling that something this season has been very, very wrong. And I’ve thought all along that other shows, like The Amazing Race, film multiple endings with decoys, so why not The Bachelor? Yeah, there’s the pinky ring and the freckles, etc., etc. And maybe, just maybe, they filmed 3 “final rose ceremonies” with 3 different women. I can only hope!

Maybe now I’ll be able to stay awake through this snoozefest.

There’s absolutely no way it’s Stephanie. Didn’t you see him try to hide his disgust when he looked at her lengthy Lee Press On nails? He also looked shocked when he saw her earlier, wear her Paris Hilton circa 2001 hot pink velour lounge outfit. He’s not into the trashy fake look, although the extreme over the top Botoxed forehead already put her out of the running.

The shocker could be that it’s Molly. He’s definitely into her.

Steve, I’ve always believed what you said. Nothing you’ve hinted at has ever been wrong. A comment that Jason made earlier this year, I can’t remember where I heard it-sorry- made me wonder if he and his F1 have already gotten married. I’m loving this season, because I REALLY like looking at Jason , so I’m happy with whoever he picks. Of the final 5, I can’t see him with Stephanie or Naomi-the other 3 he definitely likes. I can’t wait for the finale!

My problem with shooting three final rose ceremonies is that makes the show 100% fake not the typical 50/50 or 80/20. I would be severely disturbed by Jason if he could shoot three final rose ceremonies with three different winners and act convincing enough in each so as to make the girl believe it was the real one! That would be horrible and not at all what a majority of the viewers watch the show for.

I don’t think that is what happened at all, but if what I am reading on the FORT and other blogs is true, Jason may not be in my top 3 favorite bachelors of alltime but instead my least favorite!!

This show needed this kic in the butt, it was getting boring, and now has tons of new life. I still believe the pictures and screen caps.
On believeing you? : Ok… but if it doesn’t pan out it’s your reputation.

Love it! Your inside info will hopefully make this season more exciting. I hate it when it is a foregone conclusion!

I never understood the point of “I know something you don’t, hahaha”. Either you spill the beans or you don’t bring it up at all. I am not from FORT, but right now you are looking pretty silly and childish if I may say so.

You should restrict yourself to writing mediocre yet funny reviews rather than stuff like this, just make you sound petty.

Steve…
You rock! I wouldn’t doubt you for one minute!!!

Way to go, Steve! There ARE those of us, even at FORT, who don’t quite believe completely that Melissa is the F1. I for one would love a shake up, since I personally consider Jason the most boring Bachelor ever (and this dubious honor is given even in light of such former snoozers as P-Lo, Blob, and Andy). Give me a shakeup! Give me Melissa NOT the F1! Give me all of those carefully scrutinized moles, freckles, rings and fingernails as false!

I just *might* watch the ending now.

Okay, first of all….I believe ya, Tootsie Pop. So…the only thing that would be hard for you to wrap your head around is Deanna proposes to Jason and he accepts. And, since I just listened (as much as I am ashamed to admit) to Jason’s proposal on Youtube. The last bit is him saying “I would love to marry you” as if answering a question…..like Blinky on her knee proposing. I would love to see him end up with Jillian (supposedly F3), but even that wouldn’t be THAT much of a shock. So, either Jason skips the babes and runs away with that hunky Chris Harrison, or Blinky gets her way AGAIN. Damn.

So the F1 becomes the F1 but not in the usual way??? I guess sometimes you have to take a step back and undo things to make them right??? This is going be good.

I’m new to this… can someone please explain what FORT is? It’s driving me crazy! lol

Lesleezplz : I doubt anyone really thinks Jason tricked the F2 or F3 into filming a proposal, but some of us think it’s possible they had a dress rehearsal to get the shot of Jason putting a ring on Mel’s finger (what the sleuthers think is Mel’s finger, based on two arm freckles and her fingernails).

Maybe they filmed Jason with a stand-in for the “freeze frame pinky ring” and “twirl the lady around” shots.

Misleading previews and manufactured deception on the Bachelor set is nothing new.

Wow

Well….for one why do you leave out Jokersupdates.com, as they were the sleuthers who actually did the freckle/mole/pinky nail comparison? And as far as having panties in a wad……I dont know anyone who has their panties in a wad…..I just think you are full of BS…….LOL

This is AWESOME news, Steve. AWESOME!! WOO HOO!

Maybe the shock is, that they not only get engaged, they are already married, and got married right after the proposal.

Steve you have given me hope for a different ending. I was not excited over the one that was all over the boards. I hope you’re right, I’m looking forward to be shocked.

LMAO, have to wonder whether the producers have decided to scuttle the sleuthers. Reality Steve I’ve always enjoyed your recaps, keep ‘em comin’ Way to go bud.

Lovin this Steve!

Could you be any more Chandler???

I hate secrets!! I want to know! Come on!

Lesleezplz: you are getting warm

Although your message was carefully worded (your words)…where you state that our jaws will drop is very telling. Quite frankly none of the girls on the show currently would cause that reaction if chosen (even Stephanie)….so…it’s probably DeAnna. That would be the only thing that could happen to make our jaws drop.

All I know is that ABC makes it look like you know. LIke on this last episode, they showed at a commercial that on Stephanie and Nikki’s date that they came and picked up RED luggaged. Nikki’s luggage was pink!!! So when Nikki was packing and we saw her pink luggage, everything would think it was Stephanie that he got rid of!!!!

ANDDDDD, I would not be happy at ALL if Deanna would be the one he is engaged too. She had her chance, she missed it. Too bad!!!!

audrey: FORT – Fans Of Reality Tv

http://www.fansofrealitytv.com/forums/index.php?

Cheryl, the luggage looked pink to me both when she packed it and when they picked it up.

Steve,

I am sooo new to Facebook and would love to find you there….have been reading your forever, but never commented before. Give us a link to your Facebook page…PLEASE!!

Thank you for the update and the news! I didn’t think ABC would make it as obvious as they have with all the clues giving away Mel as the F1, it was just too easy. My hope is that he sends Jillian away as F3 then breaks down and realizes after his F2 dates that he made a mistake and brings her back and proposes.

Deanna can show up and tell him to follow his heart and not his “passion” (like she did) which leads him to realize that Mel and Molly are physical and Jillian is actual love and companionship.

I realize it’s a long shot but it would definitley be a surprise twist!

Steve you rock! I have never doubted you for a minute. This season has been a total snooze, so anything to spice it up is a welcome addition. I can’t believe those ladies at FORT have nothing better to do than to figure out who F1 is before the show starts airing. They all need to get a life. Why can’t they take the show for what it is? Entertainment and fantasy. How many Bachelors are still with their chosen one? Byron and battling Mary don’t count.

Steve, you suck (ok in a good way).

I know you are dying to share the news so why don’t you? I WANT TO BE SPOILED, please safe me! save the world of bachelor/ettes crazies!

I am so blooming happy. I love you!!!
It’s not that I dislike Melissa. It just seemed that ABC has taken all element of surprise out and I love the fact that the “facts” might not be worth the screencaps they are printed on.
Certainty isn’t all it’s cracked up to be!

I have a guess, it’s the most jaw dropping thing I can think of that doesn’t involve Deanna (because I think she shows up and talks to him a bit and then leaves).

Melissa is a mole to be sure Jason gets the inside story about what’s really happening in the house, even when the cameras are gone. She can tell him who is genuinely there for him and who plays for the cameras. That would explain why we think we see her being proposed to and the ring on her finger, it was a fake proposal to hide the real ending from the audience. She was in on it all the way.

Also, if he takes Melissa the Mole to the F2, Jason doesn’t have to break someone’s heart at the F2. He doesn’t have to put a woman through everything he went through those last few days in the Bahamas. I think it’d be easier to go at F3 than F2, right?

Pam – Cheryl is talking about one of the “coming up” shots, where it showed the mysterious man in black grabbing a very red suitcase. Then, when we see Nikki packing, it’s pink, so we think Stephanie is going home. Yes, when the man in black comes at the end and actually grabs Nikki’s luggage – it’s the pink stuff. But not in the Chris Harrison narrated “coming up” scene showed before the date.

Melissa is NOT a mole.

#58, that would be awesome!

Is this show supposed to be about two people finding love, or about tricking people? If they edit the thing to show a growing relationship and then say, “ha, ha, we fooled you, it’s really these two that we didn’t show you!”, then why would anyone watch?

Thanks Sally!! =)

Steve, I am one of only a few that think the possibility of Jason going back to D would be for real. I think that would in fact be a jaw dropper, and have people talking for months. I for one of a very few felt that they had a fantastic chemistry. We all have to remember the negativity should be left on the cutting room floor. We don’t know any of these players, and should not speak ill of them. If Jason were to end up with D I would welcome the love that they have for each other. I thought all along the Melissa looks so much like D that she would in fact be a perfect fill in for D. And with D “not” on the show, she could live out her time in Hollywood, till the show was over. And no one would suspect a thing. If this turned out to be the facts I would say there are alot of clues out there that no one wanted to accept. Except those of us that believed in Jason and D in the first place. Happiness and love to them all regardless of who it is. I would love to be one at the end saying, I knew it, if it comes down to that. Thanks for the blogs their great.

I think it’s one of the crew who Jason fell for.

The previews showed long dark hair .. longer than anyone left on the show – no?

Love your recaps. Love your relationship with Maddie. I also think you left us a couple of clues in this weeks recaps/announcements. You sly devil, keep up the good work. And a Maddie update please.

I’ve got it!!! The whole “jaw-dropping” reference is cryptically linked to Naomi!!!! Right?

Jenny — thanks, I guess I missed that.

What if the jaw dropping moment is Jason revealing he is actually gay, and in love with Chris Harrison? Then Chris leaves his wife for Jason and they live happily ever after.
O.K., it’s just a joke. I love Chris, think he is a hunk, and know he is happily married. Peace.

does he not only get engaged but they end up getting married as well…just a thought

Ack! Steve, you’re killing me! but I trust you…

if it isn’t melissa, it definitely has something to do with Jason bringing back or bringing in someone who is not there as part of the normal process. Based on the conversation with Deanna it sounds like he rethinks one of his decisions.

That being said, i never bought Jaons’s sincerity on Deanna’s season. There is something very rehearsed and/or calculated about the things he says and does, and Deanna picked up on it. I think he is making decisions that will “maximize his career opportunities” down the road. What father would propose or get married to someone who he has known in this context for a 7 weeks without really knowing what kind of person they are? Has anyone (the kid’s mom) questioned whether this is appropriate? I would use his participation on this sleazy show to get full custody…

Steve,

I do admit to going to Fort and Jokers websites daily. Your post is driving me nuts. I do not distrust you. Jason seems like such an open book. Every season I always assume that the F2 most likely is F1 because every year the show wants you to be surprised. I would be more surprised if they evenly showed connections with F 3 girls throughout the show. I knew it was Jesse after women tell all. I hoped this season would have been different and it seemed ABC wanted us to think winner was Jillian so I had hope that Melissa was winner.. but now you have me doubting and the more people speculate the more confused I am. The more interested I am then ever….. This SUCKS!!

Finally a reason to watch this snoozefest. Thank you Steve. As a mother of three, this is what I came up with. Ty swallows the engagement ring. (I hope this is not what happens!) It would explain Jason’s balcony scene and also Melissa’s comments, which I cannot remember exactly, but something about Jason comes in, hearts were pounding, etc.

Okay, Steve. Sorry to advise you old chap, but I believe the penny has dropped on your clue. The following is my analysis. Jay lets Jil go after the fantasy dates, leaving Molly with the loud voice and Melissa with the vague past to trundle on further in New Zealand, although the logic of moving from the South Island to the North Island continues to escape me. ABC goes to all the trouble to build a little altar of rocks and put a rose on it and have this little path ot it and yada yada although, even thought I disliked her, few will look better than Dee in her blue dress blowing in the wind in the Carribbean. But I digress. Jay is getting ready for the FRC, and who should appear buy the aforesaid Dee. His question, “What brings you to New Zealand” is so incredibly stupid that I continue to believe that I just didn’t hear what he said and hope that upon further viewing I will find that to be the case. Anyway, there she is, telling him how she made a mistake and followed the momentary passions instead of the long term stability and there is still time for him to rectify this error and thereby avoid raising two children, a 3-year old boy and a 25-year old girl. Jay careens toward the balcony in anguish because he realizes that he has botched it once again and that he cannot marry either of the F2. Ergo, ABC, in order to quench the viewers desire for romance, digitally places his photograph in front of the little alter, thereby allowing us to believe that Jay is standing there. In fact, he is back throwing up over the balcony. He proposes to no one in New Zealand, north or south island. The photo is digital . . . K Moon is a phogoraphy studio specializing in wedding photography. Rebecca Peters is a digital photograph in the United Kingdom. Therefore the “engagement photo” is digital and is a fraud.
I’m assuming Jay finally finds his way to Canda, hat in hand, to beg forgiveness from the one girl who might possibly fit in his life (what he said he was looking for at the outset), and then ABC throws together another groups of fake ferns and green grass to simulate New Zealand and voila! A proposal without the altar of stone or the walkway. You and other sleuthers can then report that “no one returns” because of course Jil did not return to New Zealand.
Jay rides off into the sunset with Jil and Ty (dressed in some sort of tuxdeo apparel) to live not on the houseboat but in his small flat in the ‘burbs”, and we all wait the requisite 90 days to see if this innoculation takes.
Onward to season 14.

Ive got it! The Montreal clue is Montreal, Canada. Jillian is from Canada.

The 2/3 clue is that there were 3, he cut Jillian, and now 2!

He ends up with Jillian in the end is what I think!

I think Molly should have left the week that Jillian left leaving Jillian and Melissa in the final two and Jason is totally going to pick Melissa he has more of a connection with Melissa.Jason was lying about his reason for eliminating Jillian.Also at the end of the dates in New Zealand Molly gives Jason a look that isn’t like one you would when your in love.Melissa is also been on the backburner where everyone else has been in the spotlight and they did to “Surprise” us but we know Melissa is going to be with Jason.Then I saw a picture of Melissa hugging Jason with an engagement ring on her ring finger while showing it of.

my post was up for a minute, then someone took it down.
was it too close?

Debbie….type it again!

Can’t wait for tomorrow and next season when the snarky comments are back ) I think he proposes to Melissa but then finds out that Molly is expecting his child from either the overnight tent date or NZ. That would be dramatic/shocking, no?

I am hoping that he relizes he made a mistake and calls Jillian. She was perfect for him.

#662 DMC says to look at screencaps of final 3 part 2

I don’t have time to watch videos tomorrow morning.
Steve, can you also write a brief description of what you will be revealing tomorow on your blog?
Thanks!
