It’s Clue Time!
Since it’s killing me that I’m not able to share the bombshell of a finale the “Bachelor” has coming, and I’m horrible at keeping secrets, I figured to be fair, I’d open it up to the sleuthers out there whose lives seem to revolve around this sort of stuff. Not that I haven’t read all your guesses thus far, but frankly, I want to keep reading more because they’re funny. Especially the one about me using the phrase “asleep at the wheel” in a post this week. Come to find out some nut job writes there’s a band here in Texas called “Asleep at the Wheel,” who has a song about a girl, and they dissected those lyrics looking for clues. Listen, first off, I’ve never heard of that band in my life. Second, I’m not smart enough to come up with something like that. And lastly, I’m sure “Asleep at the Wheel” sucks. No offense.
So, for the next four weeks leading up to the finale, in my Tuesday column, I will be giving a clue out regarding the finale. Could be a clue about a person. Could be about a place. Could be about a thing. Could be about anything for that matter (Hey, I didn’t say this was going to be easy). The clues will be short, difficult, and probably never figured out. But hey, knock yourself out trying. Don’t bother playing 20 questions with me after I give the clue because it’s not going to help. Take the clue for what it is and go to town. And hey, the clue might only lead you to a small piece of the puzzle. The finale is going to be a big deal after it airs.
Last thing I will say this regarding this exclusive “Bachelor” news. I wouldn’t be surprised if parts of the finale leaked out before it airs. I mean, we are still over a month away and people have plenty of time on their hands. But that doesn’t worry me since there is more to the story than what would possibly get leaked, I can promise you that. So come the Tuesday after the finale airs, gather all your friends and children around the computer that day, come to this site, and you will know EVERYTHING I know. This is going to be a column you don’t want to miss. The doubters are coming in full force, and there’s nothing I can do about that. Have I ever used my site to break news? Not really. Every now and then I tip people off about certain things, but in no way would I ever consider this site your #1 source for spoilers. I was the first site to ever publicly announce Meredith and Ian were broken up, but other than that, I don’t claim to know any more than most people. But when I get hold of news this big regarding this season, I figured I’d let people know. Honestly, I have no reason to lie. I gain nothing from leading you on for the next month only to disappoint. All of what I know will be revealed the morning after the finale airs. At that point, you still may choose not to believe what I know. And that’s fine. But after giving you a heads up a month ahead of time about something pretty major happening, and then that something major DOES happen, I think it’ll add to my credibility, and you’ll probably wanna hear me out. I’ve already starting writing it as we speak.
But until then, let’s have a little fun. Your first clue is upcoming in Tuesday’s column. Good luck. See you then.
Ok so did Jason and Mel have a connection before the show started? Did Jason tell TPTB it was Mel early on and the some of girls knew played along.? DId the F2 get mad for being set up or was she in the know? Or did Naomi have something shocking in her past? Could thes things explain the potential for a lawsuit??? So I’m I close????
steve just tell us who the f1 is
F4 TO F3 BUT NOT TO F2…..JILLIAN IS F3….DEANNA COMES BACK AND SAYS MAKE SURE YOU DID NOT MAKE A MISTAKE …..SO HE DITCHES MEL AND MOLLY AND JILLIAN GOES STRAIGHT TO F1 AND HE PROPOSES TO HER
How would Deanna know WHEN to come back…and how would she know what had been (IF it had been) developing….and with whom? Follows no logic. It’s gotta be more than that.
I retract the wedding theory. Too bizarre for a father to do.
Back to watching the show to tell me the answer.
Thank you for giving me interest back in this show, RS.
Steve,
You sure do have the FORT’s granny panties in a bunch!
BL “I don’t think we should give Steve the satisfaction of visiting his blog every week. Let’s just assign one FORT member to go over and get the clue but cut down on the number of “hits” he gets on his site.”
TC “Excellent idea… you should share that with other boards… boycott the jerk.”
Holy Second Grade! I think you’ll need to buy a waterproof pillowcase since you’ll be crying yourself to sleep every night.
Does anyone know when the finale is going to air?
My first guess was that J proposes to Deanna but Jill (what does she know and how does she know it) says that doesn’t happen. Good news.
Guess #2
ABC learns Dee and Jesse have broken up. They decide to inject a little drama (gasp) into their 13th season and bring her back. She gets a free trip to NZ and her publicity fix.
She tells J her biggest regret was hurting him (seen on TV). J doesn’t want to hurt anyone and decides not to let F2 do the limo walk of shame. J tells F2 at the LCD. This is all done behind the scenes. Dee takes the place of F2 at the FR. She comes out of the first limo and the audience thinks holy crap ABC is pulling a switcharoo and J will propose to Dee (and reject #2). So he gives the whole you’re wonderful blah, blah but I’m in love with someone else speech. J gets to reject Dee (with her permission, of course).
Now we don’t know who made it to F1. Suspense as the limo pulls up. Who is inside….Molly or Mel? Proposal…acceptance. Everyone breathes a big sigh of relief and is happy at last.
Boy that ABC sure is clever;)
mel is going to be f1
Oops! I should have said “amazing” not wonderful.
Here’s my theory about the FORT: The whole place is really run by some kind of promotion/PR firm that has been hired by networks to create a place for fans and of course plants–plants who work for the networks to stir up the online community and get them watching the shows! And monitor fan’s commentary.
Quite a few of the FORT Bachelor “regulars” really work for ABC/Bachelor and they’re not really your average fan/online buddy, they just stir up the drama…
Steve, you have a lot of people convinced Melissa isn’t the F1. Someone who claims to have spoken to you has quoted you as saying “it’s not so much the WHO, but the WHY.” And you have confirmed privately that Melissa really is the F1. Could you clarify this?
Your first two posts on this topic seem to be making fun of the sleuthers who think they know Mel is F1, like you know they’re all wrong. But then you admit privately she really is the F1 and the jaw dropper has to do with what happens before she is “crowned” F1?
Is someone lying about talking to you? Just curious…
Does his faith become an issue with the F1 or her family?
When did Steve confirm privately that Melissa is really the F1? And to whom? If this is true, Steve, maybe you should be careful about who you trust, because they will hurt the crdibility you are trying to protect.
sorry, credibility. I am a terrible typist.
Hey Peggy, there are various people over on FORT (Fans of Reality TV) who claim to have talked to Steve on the phone or email (or talked to someone else who had contact with him) and I don’t know who to believe. I mean, I could claim that Steve told me Melissa did XYZ and I’d be making it up, but someone would believe me and pass it on as fact. What a mess.
I think Melissa really is the F1 though and there will be something bizarre that happens before or during the FRC.
If it’s Deanna. I WILL PUKE
ME TOO……he better stay away from the heart breaker
Omg is it tomorrow yet. I am so ridiculously excited about getting the clue. Not that i will be able to figure it out but guessing at it will probably be more entertaining than watching the show… but then again I always think that about your blog is the best part of the bachelor anyways.
Does your big head fit through your door? Shuddup already!! LOL

It’s Deanna
Ooh there’s a post on the ABC board that asks if maybe he just sent Steph home ONLY so she could be with her little girl for a while, but really they kept in touch and he brought her back — and always intended to do so! I like that one!!
Or maybe it’s something like that Naomi actually WAS an ABC producer, or went to HS with Jason, or they met RIGHT before filming started, or something else where they knew each other before filming, and so they put her on the show at Jason’s request and she has always been the one Jason wants and the other girls never had a chance . . . that would be both shocking and need further explanation!
DMG’s theory in 108 is the best theory yet, but since I have no LIKE even for any of the women EXCEPT Jillian (who is more real to me than the others), I hope it is she who is the last woman standing. I just want them to get engaged, and get to know each other better. I think we would all be very naive to believe that editing isn’t meant for deception, and if I were doing the montage I would put in misleads all over the place! The point is to get people to watch to the bitter end and NOT guess early. The point is to have ups and downs, like how they cleverly edited Shannon to seem like the crazy one (hey, c’mon, she has to agree to all that), and Deanna has to only be there as a friend offering from her own bad experiences… or else this whole show was a sham, and yes, I beleive there would be a LOT of angry ABC FORMER viewers. Fool us once, shame on us, Fool us twice shame on you!
One more thing, we all know TV shows often film multiple endings to air based on web-excitement or anticipated endings, to throw off the media and the fans…
… this show was filmed months ago, and they carefully ARE leading us down false paths to keep us interested in the ending. 90% of the show’s magic is from editing and post-production!
And with that said, even this is a “reality” show, don’t be surprised if the screen shots in the Ep1 montage aren’t what u see in the final 2 hr episode… they can show all that other footage in the after show [interviews], and still claim it as part of the show!
I (have no life) and just watched the last episode again. The timeline shocker, glitch, whatever is that Jason’s little coffee chat with Jillian is AFTER the rose ceremony. If you watch when he goes to their room to ask for the meeting, you do not see Stephanie. Then, while at the coffee shop, Jillian says “Like the other night when all the other girls were falling apart, I was there for them.” What night when the girls were falling apart? Then, at the rose ceremony, she is being the “strong” one or whatever for the other girls as they are “falling apart.” Trust me on this one!
Now, what I don’t know (among many other things) is how this will play out as some big shocker on the FRC? Any ideas??
With 15 Grammys ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL hardly suck. I saw the show last night at ANTONE”s Austin, Texas
What is the “fort thread” in steve column that he is referring to?
can someone give the website?
On clue #2/3 “Montreal”, I bet that when Jason sends home a girl next week he regrets it because after DeAnna’s visit back he realizes that F3 should be F2 and brings her back somehow. Maybe he goes to Montreal to get Jillian to bring her back because Mel or Mol is the one DeAnna reveals a secret about. So 2/3 means that 2 becomes 3. Ha, by george I think I’ve got it…….or not.
Click on this link you will find a FORT thread conversation, it is very entertaining.

I can’t believe I read all these blogs…and enjoy it! Keep us guessing! But, this is my whacked theory: Jason’s final fantasy dates go real well…if you know what I mean…and in the finale he chooses someone. However, the one he doesn’t choose ends up pregnant, so he has to rethink his commitment to his choice and go to the woman carrying his child! OR, maybe in the ATFR 2, there is a wedding…single parents don’t always opt for long engagements. OR, maybe he’s already married his choice! Somehow I don’t see the shocker being another breakup.
#96 brilliant!
I’m going with that scenario.
I am from Dallas-Ft Worth and Steve is correct on everything that will go down not for sure about all of the details, but do know this Jason did not dump her she called if off with him. I am friends with Melissa’s Ex’s family that she is now back with.
IMPORTANT! Please, someone email Reality Steve ASAP and let him know his address and phone number are publicly available online, associated with his URL (I saw it in post on the ABC board and reported it as a privacy violation, so I think the post was removed). If he doesn’t want his contact information to be public, he should change it right away.
I don’t have his email and don’t want to take the time to figure out how to contact him beyond posting this, so please email him to let him know. Thanks!
Can’t wait to get back to normal and read your blog/recaps again!
As a mother of 4 beautiful and talented young women, I never can understand why I get drawn into this show which I perceive capitalizes on the exploitation of women?! But-I do. I guess you are right Steve, it gives us everything we want from TV entertainment. But if this plays out the way you predict-UGH! Poor Melissa is the “Truman” in this “Truman Show!’ My heart goes out to her and Shame on Jason for playing along with the bureaucracy!
Think Melissa is a paid actress and she is always relaxed and never stressed out and easy going not like the other girls. Seems weird that her parents wouldnt go on show. When she cries seems fake. ABC/Disney wouldnt do something so mean to someone. Would they?
Not sure if this is what really happens. I’d say it would be more creditable if you would without revealing your source give us some kind of idea where you got this.
I hope what you say isn’t true for Melissa’s sake.
Now, to the person above who says they are from Dallas/Ft.Worth and Steve is right… well, I’m from Dallas/Ft. Worth. It’s a really big city. Just being from here doesn’t mean you know if he is right or not. However, Chris Harrison is from Dallas so I can see where they might know each other.
I don’t know. I don’t think someone would post all this and put their reputation at stake. However, last year the dialidol site said that Michael johns was safe and he went home.
My daughter saw Jason at Inglewood Country Club out in the driveway talking on his cell this afternoon. Said he looked really tan.
Dude I hope they sue your stupid ass.
We love you Steve!!
If Reality Steve is correct, that makes Jason a Manwhore. This is suppose to be about a single-dad , dumped by his X, and looking for true love. Did Molly really get sloppy seconds?? Am I the only one who thinks that JASON IS NOT ALL THAT..the man is going BALD !!! sometimes he has a circular shaped patch of hair on his forehead. He seems empty , boring, and he has beady eyes. Molly’s golf outfit looked totally butch.
Seriously…. how are you not being sued and required to take this off of your site? I need clarification if we are all supposed to believe this.
TVisBoring, Reality steve is not under contract with ABC or the show so if he finds something out, he has every legal right to blab it.

Let me start out by saying you did a great job in cracking this case. You should promote yourself and become an investigative reporter.
Some pieces that don’t quite fit–can someone complete the puzzle?
1) How could this scheme have been hatched early on? Did JM choose his “wife” in the first few weeks of the show? If so, how could he have done that on the basis of a few interactions? The tent date was at episode (week?) 4.
2) The absence of Melissa’s parents sure points to her knowing what was happening in advance. Was that just a fortuitous coincidence?
3) There was no real connection with Molly & Jason shown on the show. Was it a) the scenes showing closeness & real intimacy (the kind we saw between he & Melissa) were edited out or b) both of them played down their affection and in-fact “acted” rather awkward around each other or c) Jason is really not that much of a touchy-feeling guy and laid it on Melissa to throw us off?
What about the DeAnna hype?
Dude-Get a life!! I can’t believe I wasted 9+ minutes of my time on that. Don’t you have better things to do than try to figure out the conspiracy theory behind the Bachelor? Nobody is chaining you to a chair and making you watch the stupid show! This is just sad.
saw jason on a plane from seattle to burbank last night. didn’t see who picked him up but he was on his cell and hiding out… if this is a true deal he’s a scumbag. we’ll see.
Here’s what I think happened – When Molly and Jason had that overnight in the tent, know know, the hot steamy one they never wanted to talk about – she got pregnant. And though he proposed to Melisssa, after the Rose – Molly tells him she is pregnant and BAM! Goodbye Melissa. How could good ‘ol Jason abandon his family. We still have to love him for being a great guy and doing the right thing.
re: 151
I dont think that Molly looks like the kind of girl that would have unprotected sex on national television! Would make for good t.v. but no, no way. how do we know that RS is not in cahoots with ABC and didnt get a huge check to lead us in the wrong direction? He did announce a whole day before he unleashed his info, that gave ABC plenty of time for hush money to change his story…………just a thought! I hope for the sake of that little innocent boy that his dad is not the butthole that we are being lead to believe……if so, he should divorce him too!
This is interesting reading…although I’ll believe it to be true when I see it with my own eyes.
My personal conspiracy theory is that Melissa is really DeAnna’s half-sister. Both girls are from Texas. They look quite a bit alike. Both have absentee (dead?) parents. That would be a much more stylish storyline than discovering that Jason is a two-timing faker.
I completely believe Steve… It totally makes sense… I’m not sure where he got the facts that Jason was in it from the beginning, but if that is true, what a horrible person.. So much for “poor” Jason, twice dumpee, doting single father,,,, I guess if he truly changed is mine afterwards, that is his humanly right, but how will we ever truly know???
PS I do not like Molly at all!! Something rubs me the wrong way about her, spoiled, whiny girl is the vibe I get!! I didn’t like her before all this came out and now this adds to my dislike of Jason seeing he chose her instead, they will be getting some neg vibes after this all ends, I sure they will be trying to do some damage control on AFR 2
Unbelieveable that Jason could do that to sweet Melissa!!
Hope she is OK
Love your blog so great those videos you make
Greetings from Norwáy
Did you notice in the previews last night that Molly has on a pinky ring (on her right hand!) and Melissa’s pinky ring was on her left hand? So, when the famous Youtube video aired and showed Jason proposing, well, the pinky ring was on the right hand (which in last night’s preview’s shows Molly wearing it on her right hand, not Melissa. Hmmmmmmm…..
