How to Now Post Comments on My Site
Well, it’s fixed. Wish I would’ve thought of that sooner. Basically, the losers who snipe and just come on boards to curse, you all (notice I didn’t say y’all) can go somewhere else now, since I know you don’t have the balls to register and post on the site. And If you did, I’d just delete anyway. I’m not doing this because of people countering what I say. I could care less. Hell, go back and look at the comments for the last few weeks. Plenty of you disagree with me, and that’s fine. It was the people today that decided to post the same stuff over and over again, cursing, being ridiculous, and just trying to stir up trouble. The only way to weed them out was to go this route. And I’m glad I did. Ahhhh. This is like a breath of fresh air. Never have to worry about those dolts again. So if you want to leave comments on my page from here on out, you need to register with the site. Click on “register”, create any “username” you’d like, and then type in your email address. You will get an email confirmation with a password that allows you to sign in and comment. Your email address will only be in my files and not shared with the public, so that basically means I will know exactly who posts what on the site. How I didn’t think of this sooner is beyond me. Ok. Enjoy.

Yeah – all registered.
This is my 1st year watching TB, wish I could just take a pill & sleep ’til Mon.
Thanks for your site RS – I’m sure you saw US Weekly today.
February 26th, 2009 at 3:15 PM
Thanks for doing this RS. I have enjoyed your blog in the past and it has gotten so crazy the past couple of weeks that I’m glad things will be back to normal.
Looking forward to the rest of the Megan interview, thanks again RS
February 26th, 2009 at 3:20 PM
Really great interview with Megan, Steve! It completely changed my perspective on her! I also think ABC really upset Holly Durst from Matt’s season with the editing of the get together they showed on the “tell all” show. Indicating there was a threesome. I went to high school with er and she is not like that at all! Very sweet girl.
February 26th, 2009 at 3:20 PM
Hey, I think most people are posting at the bottom of the page comments>
February 26th, 2009 at 3:22 PM
Excellent idea Steve!
Hey #1, I hear you! I was saying that if I could hibernate or slip into a coma until 7 PM CST on Monday night, I’d do it in a heartbeat! I thought that once RS spilled the proverbial beans I’d be able to go away from all of this until the finale…boy, was I wrong!! Wishing for Monday to come…how pathetic…usually we all want Friday to get here fast! If you come across that magic sleeping pill, send one my way!
February 26th, 2009 at 3:28 PM
RS – Thanks for updating your site for comments! Hope it helps to filter out bad posts!
Now … I know you strongly believe what you’ve been told, but I have more ideas. Can we still pose other theories here?
Maybe the information you got was a deliberate leak from a dejected and angry Molly!!! What we STILL don’t see coming is a “Fatal Attraction” rejection reaction like we’ve never seen before on this show … from MOLLY! OR, maybe she pursues Jason after filming, & he keeps in touch to be nice, but she takes it wrong and she thinks that he will dump Melissa on the ATFR show. Then when he doesn’t, WHAMO!
I know I’m grasping, but I just wonder if anybody else thinks this is a possibility.
February 26th, 2009 at 3:28 PM
I am so glad posters have to register now.
Thnaks Steve!
February 26th, 2009 at 3:30 PM
Oh – yeah … my computer wants to save the audio file instead of opening it up. Is it safe for me to save and listen to later using Windows Media?
February 26th, 2009 at 3:30 PM
Hi Steve! Excellent idea with the comments! I am soooo looking forward to Monday and Tuesday! And so is my husband…I have been driving him crazy with all of my TB talk!!! He’s ready to have me back to normal (if that’s possible! ha) Going ice fishing this weekend…so that will take my mind off of it a tad bit!!! Keep up the awesome work Steve! You’re the best!!!!
February 26th, 2009 at 3:32 PM
Good for you Steve! It was turning into a circus. One thing I noticed about Megan is that she looked so much younger on the WTA show. They made her look older on the show. I saw some natural pictures of her on the web, holding her beautiful son. She is quite lovely. I really liked the interview, I thought she was clever, funny and a real pleasure to listen to. She has a radio voice!
Megan, if you read these things….you are a terrific person! Sorry that they made you look so bad in the edits.
February 26th, 2009 at 3:32 PM
Whoo, hoo! Now can we have some constructive discussions? Thank you RS!! Now be honest, was it really Maddie’s great idea for the logons?!
February 26th, 2009 at 3:33 PM
Great job requiring registration, Steve! Love your blog!
February 26th, 2009 at 3:33 PM
#8 I had to save it too, I don’t think it’s a problem.
February 26th, 2009 at 3:33 PM
Good decision Steve. Wasn’t going to visit anymore due to the hijacking of the Comment section by what was sounding like uneducated, poorly raised teenagers with limited vocabulary. The fun was gone. It’s unfortunate you had to put some controls in place, but there were those who took their right to free speech to a level of hate and vulgarity. Not acceptable.
February 26th, 2009 at 3:37 PM
Thanks for the Megan interview, Steve…too bad it cut off as it was getting verrrry interesting!
This was a great idea to have folks register, (keep out the riff-raff!)
Looking forward to Monday when you’ll be vindicated!
February 26th, 2009 at 3:37 PM
Good deal. People need to get a life. We are all pretty nice people here with different opinions, being respectful is not that hard, they should try that.
February 26th, 2009 at 3:43 PM
Steve,
I enjoy your site so much. Thanks for all of the posts and for weeding out the nuts.
February 26th, 2009 at 3:45 PM
All signed up. Glad to see you are weeding people out.
February 26th, 2009 at 3:47 PM
You should have done this along time ago. This is great!
February 26th, 2009 at 3:48 PM
Steve, thanks for helping w/ the comments. Hopefully this will weed out all the grade/high schoolers that liked to hang out on the ABC board and then migrated over here. The regular ABC folks are fine BTW.
Loved the Megan interview. Really brought home a few things.
Keep up the great work and please do not hesitate to ban the troublemakers.
Also please do not sell my email address
February 26th, 2009 at 3:51 PM
Excellent — I hope this keeps the crazies to a minimum.
BTW, did you all know that Jason is going to propose to Jillian on Tuesday?
::ducking and running::
February 26th, 2009 at 4:00 PM
i think your site is very accurate and very great to come to thanks for everything steve!
February 26th, 2009 at 4:01 PM
Any chance you can sumarize the rest of Megan’s interview Steve?
February 26th, 2009 at 4:01 PM
#21 -ha ha! hopefully she’ll be the next Bachelorette! however, with all this “scheming” that i believe is going on…maybe she knows better!
February 26th, 2009 at 4:03 PM
Thank god my RSS feed will be clean now. Thanks Steve!!
February 26th, 2009 at 4:03 PM
You rock Steve! Keep the faith.
So glad you got the interview with Megan. I was thinking when reading your last blog entry before you posted the interview, that she’d be exactly the person to talk to right now! Awesome. And I love her now. Thanks for sharing that!
February 26th, 2009 at 4:06 PM
Sign in is great! I was shocked at the comments that were on this morning when I checked in with you for updates. It is nice just to be able to read reasonable comments even if they disagree with you or other posters. Keep up the good work.
February 26th, 2009 at 4:11 PM
Thanks Steve…I think this just may work.
I have a question about the HUGE (your emphasis) news you said you will post by the end of the week.
Are you still planning to post something tomorrow regarding this news?
February 26th, 2009 at 4:12 PM
Hey Steve, great idea….I was really mad at all the hate spewing back and forth since y’day evening….I, like many others am waiting to watch ABC’s version of the finale come Monday.
Jason has always been saying “if you don’t say it, they can’t show it”….I’m just waiting to watch how this comment of his comes and bites him in the butt after the Finale……and just becoz he has repeated that statement so many times, He just cannot use the excuse that ABC “made”him do it…He should just have been man enough not to be manipulated.
Love u Steve!!!
February 26th, 2009 at 4:13 PM
#28
I think the HUGE news was his interview with Megan and too bad we couldn’t get to hear the juicy part of it.
February 26th, 2009 at 4:17 PM
Wasn’t it Jason’s ex wife that had dreams of fame, trying to be in a music video and all… now he has to one up her by being “more famous”
the guy is a cad… who counts on his howdy doody face to make people think he is a nice guy meanwhile he’s stabbing them in the back and only thinking of ways to get more… these girls are too good for him… except for Molly, the married man affair, she deserves him!!!!
February 26th, 2009 at 4:25 PM
Thanks Steve! I’m so happy you decided to keep comments! I hope this keeps the morons away.
February 26th, 2009 at 4:29 PM
I’m very disappointed that I can’t get the interview to play. Any suggestions? Perhaps saving the file?
February 26th, 2009 at 4:29 PM
I think if you read between the lines in that new ABC press release”Jason proposes to the love of his life…………..but no one is prepared for what happens when jason and the final two women return to the studio……” To me it sounds like the proposal is to neither of the final two. JILLIAN!!! YEAH!!!!! Sorry, but I’m going to hold out hope for that until they prove me wrong.
February 26th, 2009 at 4:33 PM
If you check out his ex in that music video, it looks like the dog-kissing chick, Shannon, was it?, tried to make her hair look just like the ex’s during the show.
February 26th, 2009 at 4:34 PM
Still can’t get the Megan Paris interview? O Well, I can’t get a date with Jennifer Aniston either, will try later. Hey Steve, do you believe how many REALLY stupid people there are?
February 26th, 2009 at 4:34 PM
A breath of fresh air is right. Ahhhhh………
February 26th, 2009 at 4:34 PM
Okay I made it – I like to have never found the Register button – DUH – anyway, great work Steve – I am glad you decided not to punish all of us for the select few idgits.
February 26th, 2009 at 4:35 PM
Georgie, I loved Jillian too! I thought she seemed the best choice for him. However, I have to say I’m glad he let her go. I didn’t think much of Jason during DeAnna’s season and I really don’t think much of him now.
February 26th, 2009 at 4:36 PM
#36 I saved it and now it’s playing. Try that.
February 26th, 2009 at 4:37 PM
Megan sounds intelligent, sweet, with great communication skills and is NOTHING like they portrayed her on TB! That must be so frustrating for her and the other girls.
Can’t wait until Monday. But, Steve, if your info is true, I’m not watching TB or TB”ette” again!!
Being entertained is one thing, being duped is another. .
February 26th, 2009 at 4:40 PM
I’m listening to the Megan interview – WOW! Thanks RS!!! A lot of insight here. I did hear the term “orchestrated” from her, not you …ummm! Very interesting!
February 26th, 2009 at 4:41 PM
Whether or I not I think you are right about what has happened- this is your blog and I feel people should either show some respect or just move on. I am really glad people now have to register- and to show my support I did
)
Have a great day all!
February 26th, 2009 at 4:47 PM
All registered!!! This was a great idea!!
February 26th, 2009 at 4:50 PM
I have an entirely different opinion of Megan.
February 26th, 2009 at 4:52 PM
#45- As do I…..she seems……sweet!
February 26th, 2009 at 4:53 PM
Hi Steve,
I’m just glad that people have to register now too!
Yours sincerely,
Marti
February 26th, 2009 at 4:54 PM
I’m a long time observer of this blog and only just registered. I did enter a comment few minutes ago and it shows ‘awaiting comment moderation’ , plz tell me if that is normal procedure? TY
February 26th, 2009 at 4:55 PM
Naomi was my favorite lady of the show. I now like and understand Megan. I never liked Jason, I did not like him from the batchelorette show with Deanna. I liked Jeremy much better. He always seemed more honest than Jason.
February 26th, 2009 at 4:55 PM
Sorry it had to get to this point, but it did because some people just suck.
Thanks for keeping it open to those of us who aren’t cowards and aren’t here to bash anyone (er…other than Jason if he did what we suspect he might have!)
February 26th, 2009 at 4:58 PM
Thanks Steve!!
February 26th, 2009 at 4:58 PM
Thanks Steve, can’t wait for your normal blogs again!
February 26th, 2009 at 4:59 PM
In it I showed links to komonews, re: video directly after wta with the women and jason…
Confused with Jason’s statement: “I think Stephanie and Jillian were the two girls I was looking forward to seeing most,” he said. “They are the two I build the strongest connections with, and Jill, without a doubt, she was my ultimate friend throughout the whole experience. Of course, I wanted to see her. I didn’t get to see her enough.”
If that were the case, then why was he so cool towards both of them at the WTA ? Also, he was made aware by the reporter that blogs were loaded with different conspiracies of all kinds, he indicates he wasn’t aware of this , yea right whatever , lol….
February 26th, 2009 at 5:03 PM
Awesome, thanks for doing this so the comments don’t have to be closed.
I’m looking forward to Monday night. I don’t really want to see Melissa get blindsided on international tv (hey Canada counts, and it’s on the internet too for a world-wide audience), but it’ll be interesting to see how ABC spins it.
February 26th, 2009 at 5:03 PM
Good for you Steve. No matter how things shake down we know you believe in yourself and that’s the most important thing. Keep the faith!
February 26th, 2009 at 5:10 PM
It’s gonna be so nice not having all that bs going on. Now, just shear bliss from now on!!
February 26th, 2009 at 5:11 PM
Hey great that you’ve done this; maybe this will get rid of the trash posters.
Thanks for your site!
February 26th, 2009 at 5:12 PM
Good job! It was getting out of hand. This should be much better
February 26th, 2009 at 5:16 PM
Good deal!! Maybe now we’ll have a semblance of “normal.”
February 26th, 2009 at 5:17 PM
Steve, thank you so much for doing this. I look forward to hearing the last 30 minutes of your interview with Megan. It was just getting to the good part.
February 26th, 2009 at 5:20 PM
Great! Finally don’t have to read all the negativity!!!!! Did anyone else catch in the interview something about Jason might have known one of the “contestents” prior to the show? Whats that about? Or have i misheard ??? Thx
February 26th, 2009 at 5:21 PM
i like that now people won’t be posting under other peoples names, out of carelessness or on purpose.
hi lillbit
February 26th, 2009 at 5:22 PM
Steve… I really enjoyed your interview with Megan. And thanks again for your replies to E-mails sent. And Double thanks for helping to curtail all of the out of control postings by the wackadoos.
February 26th, 2009 at 5:26 PM
YAY thank you!!! I was getting very tired of all the unconstructive craziness and meanness! It was discouraging me from posting anything. Thank you!!
I DO wonder about Molly’s reaction! Is she actually going to stay with a guy who did that to someone else? If I were her, not only would it make me morally uncomfy, but I would definitely be concerned that one day he might do it to me!
Thoughts?
February 26th, 2009 at 5:28 PM
Nice to have a little less chaos in here. Last night was brutal!
February 26th, 2009 at 5:30 PM
I stopped reading the messages yesterday with all the craziness so I don’t know if this was posted. It’s a picture of the ring Jason chose. The burning question….where is the ring now?
http://tvwatch.people.com/2009/02/26/revealed-the-ring-chosen-by-bachelor-jason/
February 26th, 2009 at 5:30 PM
Steve,
Long time lurker, first-time poster. I registered just to be able to express my support and tell you how much I’ve enjoyed your column over the years. Thanks for sharing with us what you know/believe to be true and for keeping your sanity and sense of humor through the last few weeks! Sue
February 26th, 2009 at 5:34 PM
Long-time lurker… few-times poster. Just wanted to be able to post if I feel the inclination!
No shame in saying “yall”
For the record, I completely believe everything you’ve said to be true. Ummm… and Megan saying “…that would make sense
February 26th, 2009 at 5:35 PM
” confirmed it for me!
Oh, BTW… I don’t know why it cut off my comment before I submitted.
February 26th, 2009 at 5:35 PM
Mandy,
It’s such a pretty ring!
February 26th, 2009 at 5:36 PM
Hey Yoduhh, much better since RS has everyone register!
February 26th, 2009 at 5:36 PM
L,
Yeah same here! She sounded like it would actually answer questions she had! Good for her for doing the interview with Steve
February 26th, 2009 at 5:38 PM
Steve- Have you heard the rumor that Molly is pregnant? I heard from a reliable source of mine that Molly is in fact preggo. I haven’t seen you write about that and just wanted to see your thoughts!
February 26th, 2009 at 5:47 PM
It surprised me when I was commenting on your site RS for the first time and noticed it didn’t have a registration process.Much better now because the trolls will be gone for good.
I really enjoyed Megan’s interview and it definitely cleared a lot of things such as bad editing in this show.
I’m totally excited for Monday and want to know how MF will play the scenario.
February 26th, 2009 at 5:47 PM
Yeah, I like this registering thing! Hopefully it will make your life easier RS. I’m looking forward to seeing your Megan interview; can’t view it at work, will have to wait until I get home late tonight! I appreciate your efforts in trying to provide us all with as much information as you can possible share.
February 26th, 2009 at 5:48 PM
YAY! Haven’t read the comments in a while because they were getting so negative…it is truly bliss in here now!! Many thanks, Steve, for posting all of your insider info…you didn’t have to but I for one am grateful you did.
Hey – any way to summarize the final 30 mins of your interview with Megan?
February 26th, 2009 at 5:48 PM
Just wanted to say “Thanks!” for how you conducted the interview. It is such a refreshing change for an interviewer not to interrupt the person being questioned. It shows respect to the guest, IMO.
I’ve never understood hosts who invite someone to do an interview, only to interrupt them and cut them off mid-sentence. Why have them on if you’re not willing to let them speak?
I’ve never watched the show before, and have no intention of watching it again. The only reason I watched it this season is one of the contestants lives where I do. The information you
have shared proved my impressions of the show to be accurate.
I like Megan a lot, and I figured her onscreen persona was contrived. Oh well, maybe this will serve as a cautionary tale to anyone willing to become a part of this franchise.
February 26th, 2009 at 5:51 PM
Hi Steve,
Any chance or possibility you can interview other Bachelorettes besides Megan? I don’t know how you get her to agree but it’s cool. She seems to trust you enough to grant you that interview…
February 26th, 2009 at 6:02 PM
Good idea to have this! Things have definitely ogtten out of control lately.
February 26th, 2009 at 6:06 PM
My opinion of Megan hasn’t changed at all. She was one of my favorites to begin with. She made me laugh. She was spunky and opinionated and nobody’s doormat. I liked her then…I like her now. Great interview and thank you for the registration weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
February 26th, 2009 at 6:12 PM
Much better with the login, Steve. Great interview with Megan! Thanks for posting it. I can’t wait to see you proven correct next week about what you know and have known for a while.
February 26th, 2009 at 6:12 PM
Mandy I hope Melissa keeps the ring and sells it on E-bay or something to pay for her cake for her wedding with someone else hahahaha…..
February 26th, 2009 at 6:16 PM
Thank God the insanity has subsided!
Steve, this was a great interview and very telling as to how editing can change someone’s opinion.
How many of us have had the night were one too many adult beverages have made us say something we regret. Fortunately, we are not all caught on nation tv saying it.
She seems like a girl that has had a bit of a rough time but has the guts to make good.
I agree with earlier posts. You conducted this interview very well and let her tell her side of the story without asking the uncomfortable questions she could not possibly answer.
Megan will rise to the surface and RS, you will come out smelling like a rose and everyone else can eat their shorts. Why on earth do so many people think that because this is reality tv, does it have to be the shiny, happy ending? This is life and sometimes, life sucks!
I look forward to so much more drama and cannot wait for Monday.
February 26th, 2009 at 6:21 PM
Wonder if Melissa was in on this at some point? maybe- just maybe that is why her parents were never on the show -they
knew what this was all about and did not want to partake in it!!
February 26th, 2009 at 6:25 PM
I am ashamed to say I took a peak at ET and they have a couple photos of the final rose ceremony and the ring that Jason uses to propose.
If there was any doubt with dresses, Melissa is wearing the flowing one in the shots with Jason down on his knee!
February 26th, 2009 at 6:26 PM
So many of the dupe personalities are now gone. Funny how the just all disappeared when we had to register. The site it much more enjoyable now. TY Steve!!
February 26th, 2009 at 6:26 PM
Thanks for everything you are doing to help clear things up and bringing viewers into reality as in REALITY instead of what is perceived as reality.
Most of the audience is naive and don’t mind what goes on behind the scenes as long as they enjoy the show and no one gets hurt.
In this case, many people including my husband and myself are emotionally invested in Melissa. Last year it was Jason. The year before it was DeAnna although it makes me sick now to think that.
What could have made Mel decide to tape the AFR2? $$$$$$
February 26th, 2009 at 6:32 PM
Excellent interview, excellent idea to register contributors. Anonymity breeds courage into the stupid and weak.
Thank you for all your work.
Kateenc
February 26th, 2009 at 6:38 PM
Definitely a good idea to make people register. In fact, it encouraged me to actually post since there were not an obscene amount of responses already. Just wanted to say that I’m glad you told everyone about this, even though I wish it wasn’t the case.
I would also like to say that I agree with you about people saying that they’re through with the Bachelor. I know that I will still watch since it’s just for entertainment for me, not actually seeing a real love story.
Thanks for the blog!
-Kristen in Fort Worth <3
February 26th, 2009 at 6:42 PM
Awww…this is so much better…
February 26th, 2009 at 6:48 PM
Hey Steve – did you ever get the audio from John G? I’m in Grand Rapids & have met John, great that you gave him a shout out.
February 26th, 2009 at 6:50 PM
Oh – on FORT they are saying ATRC is tomorrow atg 11:30 pst. Someone received an e-mail with the invite.
February 26th, 2009 at 6:53 PM
Just curious but how did someone get invited? I would think it would be closed to prevent more leaks but I was wondering how people were invited.
February 26th, 2009 at 7:00 PM
Hey RS thanks for making this season of the bachelor the best. Reading your clues and hearing what you have to say about the show has been more fun then the show itself…Keep up the good work!!!!
February 26th, 2009 at 7:01 PM
Thanks for taking the offensive posters out. I have no problem with people having different opinions then mine….oh heck who am I kidding – yes I do! LOL JK —now to go listen to the interview with Megan
February 26th, 2009 at 7:10 PM
Ohboy!! I like this.
thanks mucho!
February 26th, 2009 at 7:11 PM
Haha I don’t think any of us have problems with people who have different opinions — our problems had to do with how they expressed them! I’m SO glad this is a cheery place again!!!
I feel like giving everyone a huge hug!! 
Lol!
February 26th, 2009 at 7:12 PM
hey yankee, some people were invited because they had attended previous ATFR/WTA tapings, so they were on a list.
I think iit’s possible this is a special taping to get some audience reactions to edit into footage already taped. They usually show the audience the finale before they start taping ATFR. But they won’t show tomorrow’s audience anything from the first ATFR taping, which means the audience will leave tomorrow’s Part 2 show assuming that Jason and Mel are still together. That’s my theory!
Steve, I hope your source wasn’t lying to you about ATFR 2 already being in the can. Maybe they taped Melissa talking to Jason without an audience, maybe that is the only way she agreed to do it. Perhaps that is what your source is referring to.
February 26th, 2009 at 7:14 PM
Great idea Steve, thanks for making us register. Now I don’t have to go through all the idiot posts to read the few normal ones that were in between! Now I have to go listen to the interview…
February 26th, 2009 at 7:17 PM
Whew, like a breath of fresh air now. Thanks Steve for airing out the place! Keep up the good work!
February 26th, 2009 at 7:25 PM
Great US Weekly article! Their other source confirmed everything you said. Now, ABC will probably throw a ton af $ at Melissa for her to appear on AFTR2.
February 26th, 2009 at 7:25 PM
Hoping we get the rest of Megan’s interview and looking forward to any scoop on early Monday!
February 26th, 2009 at 7:25 PM
Someone also said Molly has been at work all week so far. Maybe she’s flying late tonight or early tomorrow for the taping?
February 26th, 2009 at 7:25 PM
98-TY. I wonder if it is in ATR2 is being filmed in 2 parts because they will shoot it as Mel and Jason being together so as not to spill the drama of ATR1 and then they will have audience members to dud in for ATR2. There would be no way to film a real ATR2 without spilling ATR1 so we might see some more creative editing. lol
February 26th, 2009 at 7:26 PM
Yankee – that is being debated as we speak but the majority opinion is only 1 taping of ATRC #2.
February 26th, 2009 at 7:38 PM
It doesn’t make sense that they would tape in front of an audience. The people there would know what went down and who he is with and with 4 days until FRC I don’t think they want more leaking out. Very odd like the whole season. lol
February 26th, 2009 at 7:39 PM
Looks like RS will be able to give us some info tomorrow. Yeah.
February 26th, 2009 at 7:42 PM
I agree – the audience is odd. Also, will they even show the audience the FRC & ATRC #1 before #2 starts? So many questions…
February 26th, 2009 at 7:42 PM
What did the US Weekly article say?? (sorry if it’s been posted already . . .

seashells – from what I gather it’s only in the print edition & not available online. I’ve only read it summarized, not verbatim. Guess I should of went out and bought a copy.
Hopefully someone will post the text.
February 26th, 2009 at 7:53 PM
You’ve made this season enjoyable again, Steve. Thanks so much. Am so upset I can’t be at the convention in April, but get the cougars to call me while you’re there, to say hi and talk about NYC! Can’t wait to read your column next week, as I have all along! Keep up the good work and happy sleuthing!
February 26th, 2009 at 7:55 PM
smp,
Thanks!! That explains why I haven’t seen it
. Hopefully someone will summarize it, especially if it has its own source confirming stuff!!! That would be so nice 
February 26th, 2009 at 7:57 PM
The US Weekly article is 2 pages so I can’t type the whole thing but basically it’s what RS said & confirmed by a “source close to production”, the whole thing “was planned and the source claims the swap was a ratings ploy to generate buzz and viewership for the franchise”
the source (not RS) says “It was the intention to have Jason choose one girl then flip-flop to the runner-up” basically he was attracted to Molly “early on in the process. It was established that Jason and Molly were the couple…and Melissa was a distant second.”
February 26th, 2009 at 8:00 PM
The article also says 1. the girls were not aware of the situation and 2. the source claims Jason was cheating on Melissa (with Molly) after filming ended and it was not a sudden change of heart as will be claimed on AFTR1.
February 26th, 2009 at 8:01 PM
Thank you Steve for clearing the playground of the riff raff. The negative comments will still be there but at least we dont have to weed through the foul language and people just posting to take up space!
February 26th, 2009 at 8:02 PM
smithsfan – thanks a ton!
February 26th, 2009 at 8:03 PM
Hi Steve
First time poster, but I registered incase I ever want to say something, I am from Canada (not that it makes any difference) I am glad you decided to go this route rather than disable all comments, it only takes a few bad apples to spoil the pie.
Thanks for all you do!
February 26th, 2009 at 8:05 PM
I wonder if Molly was “coached” in to asking Jason that question on the Fantasy date about what he would do a month or two down the line if he realized he made he wrong choice at FRC?
February 26th, 2009 at 8:06 PM
Smithsfan,
Thanks!! Wow! The worst possibility, true
. Too bad Melissa can’t sue them or something!
February 26th, 2009 at 8:09 PM
Now that the vulgar people are gone it is time for RS to come clean with us.
Was there a conspiracy or not?
If there was one please tell us how you know.
And if there as not a conspiracy please tell us why you thought there was one.
February 26th, 2009 at 8:14 PM
Well, if Molly didn’t know, she knows NOW . . . what will she do?
February 26th, 2009 at 8:17 PM
I have no doubt that if he’s with Molly now they were together long before the break up. I don’t think anyone here is so gullible as to believe she was home stewing a few months over being dumped to agree to date him again on ATR 8 weeks later. NOT. They just don’t want them to look like cheaters.
February 26th, 2009 at 8:22 PM
Yeah- I created a login! Oh wait, I forgot to have a meaningful comment to add to the discussion. I suppose I could start swearing: $h&+ !! Fc&%!! D@mn!!
Go RS- only 3 days more until you are vindicated! I hope Star and US weekly paid you! And I am not being snarky, I really do. You have BLOWN UP this season and you have clearly been working your A$$ off writing your posts, making your videos, doing interviews, etc. You deserve to be compensated.
I am sorry to hear that Melissa took part in the ATFR2. I was hoping she would give them the finger and tell them to contact her in future through her attorney, Gloria Allred.
February 26th, 2009 at 8:26 PM
Steve, BTW- if Chelsea would consent to do an interview after she is released from ABC, I for one, would be panting to hear what she had to say.
Cheers!
Jen
February 26th, 2009 at 8:31 PM
#113 and #114 Smihsfan, thank you. I am going to go out and buy it tomorrow. I couldn’t find it online. They would not have gone with the story just on RS word (sorry RS
) and this only confirms what I thought….RS was right.
February 26th, 2009 at 8:31 PM
I still think Steve’s hot.
February 26th, 2009 at 8:33 PM
According to CH on Monday, the AFTR 2 was not going to be taped in front of an audience.
February 26th, 2009 at 8:37 PM
126…..I totally agree!
Steve, you have made this the most interesting season of TB ever – thank you!
Oh, and if you’re ever in Maryland….
February 26th, 2009 at 8:40 PM
Emailed RS concerning AFTR2. Email below:
Me to RS: This was posted on Fort. Is it true that they are filming ATRC2 tomorrow and Melissa will be there?
RS: I screwed that one up. Yes, its being taped tomorrow at 11:30am. All I had heard was it was confirmed they were going to tape one and that Melissa would be part of it. I shouldn’t have said it was already taped because I wasn’t 100% sure. But what I had heard was that its “either its done, or its going to get done”, and I jumped the gun and said its done. Woops. In the grand scheme of things, that’s meaningless. Everything that’s important focuses around the ATFR 1 taping I’ve known about for a month. That’s where the shit hits the fan. So yeah, if you want to pass that along to the FORTers, go ahead. My mistake. And I have a mole at the tapings tomorrow as well, so it looks like I will have information regarding what happens.
Me: Can’t pass it along to Fort because I am not a member. Just go and read what there are saying sometimes. They are talking about it in your comment section. Do you want me to let them know what you said or do you want me to just let you tell them tomorrow?
RS: You can go ahead and print that whole email I just sent you. The important thing is, who cares if I said it was taped yesterday and its actually being taped tomorrow. Minor details. They should concern themselves with the ATFR 1 taping, because that’s where the story is. I’m guessing the ATFR 2 is a fluff piece anyway showing Jason and Mollys relationship
February 26th, 2009 at 8:42 PM
#129, Don’t you love it that RS answers our e-mails. Thanks Steve.
February 26th, 2009 at 8:43 PM
I love this site
February 26th, 2009 at 8:50 PM
#129 Yea, he is great. I can’t imagine CH or Fleiss admitting when they screwed something up. It just makes him more believable. He could just had said they are doing several different tapings instead of admitting he jumped the gun.
February 26th, 2009 at 8:53 PM
I am totally new to TB & RS but I have read that he is great about getting back w/e-mails. I think that’s awesome.
Monday – where are you?!
February 26th, 2009 at 8:56 PM
Hi Steve –
Thanks for clearing out the riff-raff. I am new to your site this year and have enjoyed the ride very much. Thanks for your efforts to keep us all entertained! Looking forward to seeing it all play out. It is hard to imagine that the season was really so scripted but I am beginning to believe it. Still hoping it was all a true change of heart – albeit handled badly. I can’t fathom they did not think someone would tell…….
And Maddie is a cutie!!
February 26th, 2009 at 9:00 PM
At this point, my jaw will drop no matter what! Anything will be a surprise!
February 26th, 2009 at 9:02 PM
Ok so Trista Sutter just said this
Although Trista wasn’t able to comment on the outcome, she did say one of host Chris Harris’ trademark teases may finally come to fruition.
“All I can say is that Chris’ usual saying of it being ‘the most dramatic…’ definitely fits for what will air the night of the finale,” she revealed. “People won’t want to miss it!”
so she is in the know!! interesting
February 26th, 2009 at 9:10 PM
#136 Where did you see what Trista said?
February 26th, 2009 at 9:11 PM
Georgia Peach: on the OMG link off of yahoo!
February 26th, 2009 at 9:11 PM
OTCB–I thought those posts earlier today weren’t yours and I emailed RS about it cause the imposter was really getting me upset. I recall reading your rational posts yesterday and before which had opposite points of views on Megan from the A**H*** who was impersonating you. So I’m glad you are back.
Sharon–I didn’t think that was you–it just did not make any sense and I am glad you got your name cleared.
And I wonder if we owe thanks to user “reelistic” as they may have helped RS put up the registration system (based on a couple posts from this user is where I got my guess from).
Now we just need a spell checker!
February 26th, 2009 at 9:12 PM
Steve, I was listening to the Megan interview, and it cut off on me. Gee, you were just getting to the gooid stuff. .
will you be putting up the rest of it?
February 26th, 2009 at 9:12 PM
Megan seemed way more personable in your interview, RS.
However, the “cast” needs to rememeber that they all signed up for this show, knowing it’s history of editing as they show sees fit, and so you have to accept the cards you’ve been played when you signed up for the show by your own free will.
RS, love you and the site- I have gotten no sleep the last 2 weeks because of you!
I still think Jason is likely a pretty good guy, sounds like maybe he was forced by contract to do things that he didn’t want to. However, if he was sleeping with both Melissa and Molly in Seattle on different weekends atfer the show had wrapped, then that’s a different story and he’s trash. I hope for Ty’s sake that he is not.
February 26th, 2009 at 9:13 PM
Good interview Steve! Megan sounded really cool. It’s really a shame they edited her to such a villan! I am disappointed that the last part of the interview got cut off. I wanted to hear what she had to say about Molly!
February 26th, 2009 at 9:20 PM
Ahhh…it feels just like old times on here.
Thanks, Steve, for all you have done!
February 26th, 2009 at 9:24 PM
Sweet.
February 26th, 2009 at 9:25 PM
139. my2bits Thank you very much. No it wasn’t me. And someone was actually questioning me about it still! After I got on here with the new name. Unbelievable.
But thanks for sticking up for me. =)
February 26th, 2009 at 9:25 PM
I can’t believe Megan got voted off. She wasn’t my fav but she was up there.
February 26th, 2009 at 9:26 PM
Sorry guys I am talking about American Idol
February 26th, 2009 at 9:27 PM
#138 Thanks
February 26th, 2009 at 9:28 PM
I live in Jillian’s home town (well, her parents’ home town) and I can say the chatter here is low key!
We are so proud of her but wow, what a bunch of crap for no reason.
Don’t think she comes back for any reason. She deserves better!!! Shame that someone gets their heart broken being a pawn in this game!
February 26th, 2009 at 9:31 PM
149. Jules — Jillian was my favorite!
February 26th, 2009 at 9:31 PM

Looks like case closed.
February 26th, 2009 at 9:32 PM
You beat me to the punch on posting that smp!
Good stuff.
February 26th, 2009 at 9:34 PM
Well, here it is …

February 26th, 2009 at 9:35 PM
oops sorry #151 didn’t know you already posted it
February 26th, 2009 at 9:36 PM
Thank you so much for having people register. It’s nice to come on this site without all the trash.
I really enjoyed the interview with Megan and hope to hear the rest of it soon. I knew she was getting a crap edit by the way the other ladies were interacting with her after that first episode. She seems to be fun and intelligent.
I’m still hoping for a True Love story at the end of all this. Call me a romantic fool, but I can see it between them! I’m anxiously awaiting Monday and Tuesday night!
February 26th, 2009 at 9:37 PM
Wonder is RS needs any assistants – look how fast we are on the story LOL.
February 26th, 2009 at 9:39 PM
No complaining but I was sad when the Megan interview ended and I didn’t get to hear the end of it! I really enjoyed it! Good work
February 26th, 2009 at 9:40 PM
So I’m just wondering how old everyone is on the show.. I just want to know what kind of company I’m in!
I’ll start off.
I’m 19, and have so much to do for school, but I just can’t break away. lol =]
February 26th, 2009 at 9:40 PM
#61- no you definitely heard right. Megan was asked if she knew if any of the contestants “knew” Jason prior to the show and she said that SHE hadn’t met him before. But that she didn’t know about the others. I’m going to take that to mean there is a possibility that he may have known Molly prior to the show. (this is of course me reading into her words…)
February 26th, 2009 at 9:41 PM
Feels so nice to have the crazies off the site. Enjoyed the interview with Meghan – can you summarize what she said after it got cut off? Thanks for making this season so interesting RS – can’t wait for Monday!
February 26th, 2009 at 9:41 PM
Mainstream media is now reporting it as well. I don’t think they would if they didn’t have a few legit people confirming it.
February 26th, 2009 at 9:42 PM
I feel so old! I’m 39 and my oldest son is starting college in the Fall. But mentally I’m much younger!
February 26th, 2009 at 9:42 PM
OOPS. I said on the show.
I meant on here.
February 26th, 2009 at 9:43 PM
I agree, Yankee. I do believe RS is right, now more than ever.
February 26th, 2009 at 9:43 PM
This is the article from Access Hollywood for those that don’t click on links. Looks like RS was right all along.

What I Know About ‘The Bachelor’ Scandal
By Laura Saltman on February 26, 2009 1:16 PM
So, if you haven’t heard about all Jason Mesnick’s “The Bachelor” drama and the big, shocking scandal over Melissa and Molly and the switcheroo then stop reading.
Spoilers galore are all over this posting!
I have a feeling anyone reading this already knows and has been discussing it for days. First, I want to say that I knew about the whole thing almost a month ago. The information came to me through a “Bachelor” source and I chose not to leak it. I think other magazines (in fact,I know one for sure) knew about it as well (from the same source) and they too chose to keep the information to themselves. Why? For me it was out of respect for the fans who dedicate a couple of months of their life to this show. Sure it’s cheesy and most of the time the couples break up a few months after the finale but there is something so delightfully fun about trying to figure out who he picks. I just didn’t want to ruin that for anyone. Now that it’s out there in all the magazines this week, I’m coming forward with what I know. Last week, a guy named Reality Steve did what the magazines were skittish about doing and released the information – which I’m guessing he got from my source as well as a few of his own “Bachelor” and “Bachelorette” pals.
The short version according to Reality Steve- Jason proposes to Melissa in New Zealand. Then has a change of heart and ABC has a secret “After The Final Rose Ceremony” where he dumps Melissa and leaves with Molly. The worst part is that Reality Steve claimed that producers of “The Bachelor” concocted the whole storyline with Jason. They knew he wanted Molly from early on in the taping and asked him if he would do the “swiitcheroo” storyline because it would be good TV and no other “Bachelor” had done it before. Plus, they needed the ratings boost.
Here’s what I know. On February 3, I got a text from my friend/source telling me their was a huge shakeup going down on “The Bachelor.” They told me exactly what Reality Steve revealed. The proposal, the “After The Final Rose” taping, the leaving with Molly and the producers having a hand in the story. I believe the exact words were, “Jason went along for the ride hook, line and sinker… at the expense of Melissa.”
I wasn’t 100 percent convinced but based on the fact that this same source told me, before the show even started airing, that he chooses Melissa – I was pretty sure it was the truth. The proof they told me would be in the previews when they showed Jason propose. Melissa would be wearing a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader pinky ring. Well, week one, there it was at the end of the show in a preview of the entire season. At the time this person knew Jason picked Melissa, Jason and she were still together.
I spoke to my source last week who revealed that apparently Jason had been seeing Molly behind Melissa’s back the whole time and that ABC is going to play it off like he had a “change of heart” to the fans and the media. In a series of e-mails the source obtained (which have also made their way onto the internet), Jason apologizes to Melissa for hurting her. My source has spoken to Melissa to try to get a sense of how she is holding up but she would not reveal anything.
The press did have the chance to interview Jason at the “Women Tell All” special last week. I was in Orlando for the opening of the “American Idol Experience” so I missed it which is probably a good thing because I would have felt compelled to ask about this and I know that no one else did. Reality Steve hadn’t spilled the beans in time for them to have known about it. I find it interesting that ABC did not schedule a print conference call with Jason this week, which they have done for other “Bachelors” in the past just before the finale.
We’ll have to wait and see how this all shakes out on Monday, March 2, when the finale and the “After The Final Rose” air. Jason will then explain himself to Jimmy Kimmel later that night and on March 3, ABC will have a second “After The Final Rose” ceremony for an update on I guess how he and Molly are now doing. I’m hearing reports they are engaged.
ABC and Warner Horizon had no comment
February 26th, 2009 at 9:43 PM
I understood, Erin
February 26th, 2009 at 9:48 PM
http://blogs.accesshollywood.com/archives/2009/02/what-i-know-about-the-bachelor.html
Just read the access Hollywood article! Yikes! It makes me just as mad reading it as when I first watched RS’s you tube postings! Stupid Jason! And poor Melissa! AND MOLLY….. just plain yuk!
February 26th, 2009 at 9:51 PM
I’ve never been a Jason fan. He lost me when he uttered the word “amazing” every 2 seconds.
February 26th, 2009 at 9:51 PM
#149- Jillian was my favorite this season followed by Melissa! She seemed so down to earth. I would want to be friends with Jillian in real life.
February 26th, 2009 at 9:52 PM
So apparently, according to the AH article..the emails are making their way to the internet???? Someone was bound to do it i guess!!
February 26th, 2009 at 9:58 PM
It’s sounding more and more like the people calling Jason a low down dog are going to be right!
February 26th, 2009 at 10:00 PM
smp-You’re amaaaaaazing. lol He needs to find another word.
Interesting that they see he’s engaged again. Jason’s beyond desperate if true. Try dating!!
February 26th, 2009 at 10:04 PM
Thanks for the link – I think that proves that Jason knew he was intentionally hurting Melissa all along. Now he deserves whatever bad press he gets.
I also like the new registration system………..but I will miss Aletheia’s anonymous messages!
February 26th, 2009 at 10:08 PM
170. Dlicious — The emails are reference in several comment sections here on RS’s site early last week, I believe.
February 26th, 2009 at 10:11 PM
After all the whining J did about how D treated him – now he has done the same to Mel. Absolutely no forgiveness for him in this – hope he can live with himself.
February 26th, 2009 at 10:13 PM
Brian was double dipping with his wife and Molly. IIt seems he’s a member of a Country Club where she lives. “F2 came on the show to make her boyfriend jealous.” “She was trying to force him into committing to her.”
February 26th, 2009 at 10:14 PM
Register? Happy to.
I just have one question for you Steve. How fast and how far backward does that bicycle of yours peddle?
February 26th, 2009 at 10:15 PM
So pink, you are saying that Molly’s boyfriend of 3 years that the parents wouldn’t let in the house is named Brian and is still married? Well, at least her parents would know what a low-life she really is and what to expect and shouldn’t be surprised then by her nasty behavior on the show
Melissa hopefully held out for millions and millions to make her pain and suffering worth it.
February 26th, 2009 at 10:17 PM
Thank you Steve, this really is a nice place to read and post.
This season was kind of a snoozefest for me until I started reading blogs.
Everything was tied up in a nice neat bow way to early this season and it did not make sense as a (skeptical) viewer. The core audience want’s the happily ever after perfect story. That would be mostly the people that post on the internet and research just for fun or to find clues, or simply fit the key demographic: women 25-54. Fleiss knows he has to lure people outside his core demographic to increase ratings and to keep interest. No story is worth watching or reading without ethos, pathos and logos. It is TV, it is entertainment, it is not reality.
I came across Steve’s blog by reading another one random one. I am glad I did. I also am not a hard core bachelor fan but apparently becoming one!
I am really glad I tripped upon this site.
February 26th, 2009 at 10:18 PM
That is what I am learning…I am also hearing something else but trying to get the info on it before I say it.
February 26th, 2009 at 10:18 PM
#177 You might want to read some of the comments and the links here. Looks like RS was right all along.
February 26th, 2009 at 10:19 PM
Brian J manages the course as the General Manager.
February 26th, 2009 at 10:21 PM
Oh Oh!
I see the cages have opened up and the war of the boards have shown up. Unreal.
Please play nice or find a place that cares about your theories.
You win!! (Did that work?)
February 26th, 2009 at 10:22 PM
Of course Jason proposes 3x in a matter of 8 months. Where would he EVER get ladies like this? I know if I were introduced to him at a party it would go like this.
“Uh, hi, I’m Jason a 32 year old divorced father. I sell insurance and live in the amazing city of Seattle. I think I will be bald within 5 years but I know an amazing hair plug guy.”
“Nice to meet you, have fun tonight. Bye”
I’m not usually this mean but this guy just bugs me.
His ex wife is pretty though.
February 26th, 2009 at 10:23 PM
Wonder where the e-mails can be found?
February 26th, 2009 at 10:24 PM
Pinkgirl – in Grand Rapids or in WI?
February 26th, 2009 at 10:26 PM
I registered b/c I wanted to post something. Now I can’t remember what it was that I wanted to post. LOL oh well, I will post these thoughts instead
*article linked above NAMED the pinky ring Mel had, I know some have speculated on MOL having a pinky ring EXACTLY like it….but as far as I know MOL was never a dallas cheerleader
(said with tongue in cheek). If MOL had a ring similiar than MEL’s in the screen caps being shown now, what does this mean?
ABC planned on leaking the screencaps of MEL w/ her ring and just provided a ring to MOL that was VERY similar and neither girl got suspicious? IDK just something I have been thinking about.
February 26th, 2009 at 10:29 PM
Not sure…it has also been said that Mol comes on the ATFR 1 to stir up trouble between J and Mel
February 26th, 2009 at 10:33 PM
Pinkgirl – it’s GR. My Dad knows the people at the county club Molly’s family belongs to. The general mgr is Brian J. You were right – just called my Dad.
February 26th, 2009 at 10:33 PM
Maybe it’s “just me” but I chose to spend the rest of my life with my best friend.
Good luck to Jillian, she deserves better then Jason, and I believe she will have 24 dragons to slay – on the next Bachelorette.
Melissa, she’s young, beautiful and will move on. She probably has already.
Thank you RS – you have made this season of TB the most enjoyable for me with your blogs…and thank you bloggers, your speculation has entertained me night after night.
ABC cannot control people, and did not pre-determine the outcome of Jason’s decision. All Fleiss is guilty of is trying to cover-up a breakup that occurred before the season ended.
Good luck to Molly, Jason’s marriage broke-up for a reason…now I wonder what that reason is ? Maybe it’s his cheating ways ? Or maybe he just can’t make up his mind with so many amazing women in the world.
February 26th, 2009 at 10:34 PM
Pinkgirl — Sorry I was off for a bit. Can you tell me where I can find the info you are referring to re: Brian? Is there a previous post? I did a “find” , but did not see it. Thanks.
February 26th, 2009 at 10:35 PM
Hi just registered so wanted to post
I have to admit I had my doubts about your story especially the conspiracy part but with the US Weekly and Access Holywood reports today – you must be right.
I really didn’t beleve it of Jason (although I never really liked him since D’s season).
February 26th, 2009 at 10:35 PM
Hey pinkgirl, didn’t you post on the blog with the interview that Jason is definately with Melissa and is happy?
February 26th, 2009 at 10:38 PM
smp,
Dang! No wonder her parents didn’t approve . . . and no wonder she’d be willing to date Jason even if he just did that to Melissa. Glad your dad could tell you there is such a guy there
The emails are online now??!!
February 26th, 2009 at 10:39 PM
So imagine Brian’s wife’s surprise if she didn’t know he was seeing Molly. WOW! Guess he better start looking at careerjobs.com pretty soon.
February 26th, 2009 at 10:39 PM
Just Me,
AHAHAHA, ’so many AMAZING women’ hahahah . . . priceless phrasing! Love it!!
February 26th, 2009 at 10:42 PM
Wait…where did all this Brian speculation come in at? Is there a source? I mean you think ABC would have figured out it would not be a good idea to let a woman who was cheating with a married man for 3 years on the show. Of course that is as someone else on here has alluded to ABC knew Jason and MOL knew each other and had planned it from the beginning.
February 26th, 2009 at 10:42 PM
At the county club website there is no mention of the general mgr’s name. I looked everywhere so pinkgirl got that fact right. How, I have no idea but I am thinking there is truth there.
February 26th, 2009 at 10:44 PM
It is obvious just watching Jason at the WTA and other interviews, that his face is definitely not the friendly smiley one, and he appears to be carrying a great deal of stress on it. I know that they said they filmed 6 hours for the WTA and oh how I wish we could see the parts that were cut. Im pretty sure if it was me sitting there I’d be asking direct and hard core questions at the Serial-Smoocher. And maybe if Molly does interrupt the ATFR1 it is because she wants Melissa to know how much of a horn-dog he really was, and explain all the down dirty dog facts of the tent, HTD, FD and LCD explicitly. Wow 4 more days, I can’t wait.
February 26th, 2009 at 10:46 PM
Pink – if what you are saying is true, Molly and Jason suit one another perfectly. 2 peas in a pod.
February 26th, 2009 at 10:46 PM
#190 – you know, being married to your bestest friend is the biggest gift in the world. My husband was my best friend in H.S., and my best friend when he unexpectdly died in ‘04, and all the years in the middle. So hearing J. scoff (for lack of a better word) at Jillian saying she wanted her best friend for life, etc., what a fool.
February 26th, 2009 at 10:49 PM
If my best friend wasn’t a girl…and already married I would have married here. So I found a man just like her
. LOL just kidding my husband and her are very different. BUT I was friends with my hubby before we started a relationship. HOW do you learn to trust someone/ be yourself around them without doing it that way?
February 26th, 2009 at 10:50 PM
I don’t think the man has a clue what he wants. His divorce was final Feb ‘08. He moves fast, that’s for sure.
I also agree w/marriage w/ones best frind.
February 26th, 2009 at 10:50 PM
#201 I could’t agree with you more virginiabeach! I thought when Jillian said she wanted her best friend at 80 and at the end of the day, it was so true! I think you end up with your best friend, but are completely in love with them besides being friends. And usually the best relationships are the ones that are built on friendship first.
February 26th, 2009 at 10:54 PM
I didn’t mind registering, it was an easy process. On with Bachelor talk………………….Lots of speculation, I just want to see how ABC is going to try and twist it in their favor.
February 26th, 2009 at 10:54 PM
What is even funnier, is here in Arizona, there are no previews at all, nothing for the Bachelor. All they keep showing is the hypes for Dancing with the Stars and Castle, starting on March 9th. Usually all we ever see are the commercials and previews and for the past 3 weeks, nothing! Seems that RS has broken something wide open that still has them scrambling.
February 26th, 2009 at 10:56 PM
I TOTALLY agree with everyone about the best friends thing! I’m not married, but if I compare the relationships I’ve had which have worked, they worked because we were FRIENDS. The best one was that way because he and I were best friends . . . I, too, thought it was so odd that Jason refused to see it!
Jillian will find someone sane 
February 26th, 2009 at 11:02 PM
I believe RS is telling the truth about the 3 facts he knows. Which has evidently been verified by several other news articles. This information concerning Molly though is just something someone on one of these boards is saying just to slander her. Just like the ones saying Melissa is back with her ex. I refuse to believe poster gossip. Just thinking about if it was one of my daughters I would at least like to have someone, who has to back it up with their reputation, verify it.
February 26th, 2009 at 11:03 PM
There aren’t really any TV ads on in this area either right now; all for Dancing with Stars. I love that show. And have started watching the Idols again this year.
I did see ads for the new apprentice show coming on tho – that will be one I’ll skip; watched it last time it ran and didn’t like it at all.
Well, I think Molly is in for a rude awakening; she’s a country club princess and he’s not in the same league; I’ll be surprised if it makes it thru the spring.
February 26th, 2009 at 11:05 PM
I can imagine that Jason was told that Jillian was the ‘friend’ and to let her go at F3. That is why he is so blank and incomprehending when she says she wants to marry her best friend. He is not really listening just going with the script.
The producers probably asked Jillian about her ideal marriage partner early on and from her response found their ‘friend’ and F3.
February 26th, 2009 at 11:05 PM
Good point Tone #208; if it was one of my daughters I’d want someone to give them the benefit of the doubt before judging as well; and a lot of that really could be just rumors out there.
February 26th, 2009 at 11:05 PM
#208 Tone. This is from the Access Hollywood article.
I spoke to my source last week who revealed that apparently Jason had been seeing Molly behind Melissa’s back the whole time and that ABC is going to play it off like he had a “change of heart” to the fans and the media. In a series of e-mails the source obtained (which have also made their way onto the internet), Jason apologizes to Melissa for hurting her. My source has spoken to Melissa to try to get a sense of how she is holding up but she would not reveal anything
February 26th, 2009 at 11:06 PM
Well I certainly understand not believing what people post. The only fact I know is that there is a gm named Brian J at the country club. I have no clue if he is married or was dating Molly.
February 26th, 2009 at 11:06 PM
Re: marrying you best friend — It worked for me! 16 amazing years and living happily ever after!
February 26th, 2009 at 11:10 PM
Isn’t it nice to be able to get on her and make comments and not worry about the weirdo’s that were taking over the site!
February 26th, 2009 at 11:11 PM
Glad the rif-raf is gone! I believe RS 100%. He is just so sure about everything he states that I think he’s gotten his info really 1st hand that I don’t see how it would end up any different than what he has said.
I’m really looking forward to Monday/Tuesday so I can be done with this Bachelor season. Too much drama for me!
February 26th, 2009 at 11:12 PM
#208 Tone – I believe what RS has said. Not the other things posted by bloggers because the posters are not putting their reputation at stake by their allegations.
February 26th, 2009 at 11:12 PM
I was a Bachelor/ette virgin ’til this season. What a season to become deflowered!
February 26th, 2009 at 11:13 PM
This site is 100x better than it was yesterday. All the dupe posters are gone. lol It’s nice and calm.
I’m ready for this season to end too.
February 26th, 2009 at 11:15 PM
Plus the only reason I watched this season is because Molly is from GR (where I was born/raised and still live). Our local press hyped her up big time.
February 26th, 2009 at 11:16 PM
I agree with #217, Tone; RS has been up front; puts his name and face out there for all the world to see; not hiding behind phony names and having other people spread rumors; I think he’s got it right also; and if it comes out differently, that will be a result of whatever is going on behind the scenes now.
February 26th, 2009 at 11:18 PM
Don’t forget, your boy Jason will be on The View tomorrow.
February 26th, 2009 at 11:19 PM
Speaking of phony names etc has anyone noticed Aletheia’s blog has become snip it’s of other sites stories. What a joke that blog is/was.
February 26th, 2009 at 11:20 PM
I don’t think Jason is any match for the View ladies!
February 26th, 2009 at 11:21 PM
If Jason saying amazing just once on the view I will seriously throw something. I don’t normally watch The View – have the ladies been following this season & commenting?
February 26th, 2009 at 11:21 PM
Yup, agreed, too.
Look at how many crazies Steve has gotten because of his news! Haha no one would put up with that unless the info was real. He’s risking his reputation!
February 26th, 2009 at 11:22 PM
109. Seashells | February 26th, 2009 at 7:42 pm
What did the US Weekly article say?? (sorry if it’s been posted already
Check out 165. Georgia..she posted the whole article!
Someone asked how old we posters are..I’m 61..was disgusted with how “scripted” the show was this year, and vindicated when I found this site!
February 26th, 2009 at 11:22 PM
I don’t know if the View ladies have been following; I don’t normally watch it either, but am going to try and watch tomorrow; comes on 11 in this time zone
February 26th, 2009 at 11:23 PM
Hey, did anyone email the view the article. Oh well someone said Jason has actually prerecorded the view. That is how he will be there for the taping tomorrow.
February 26th, 2009 at 11:24 PM
Answering Lovin Love, 227 – I’m 67 and just found this site by accident a couple of weeks ago
February 26th, 2009 at 11:24 PM
Yep – 11 for me too. He’s got to acknowledge azt least some of the rumors. I’m sure MF et al are coaching him much like a lawyer coaches a witness before taking the stand.
February 26th, 2009 at 11:24 PM
Lovin Love,
Thank you!!
I did see that, it’s SO nice that Steve isn’t alone in what he’s been saying anymore! I felt bad for him with all the people bashing him.
I’m 23
February 26th, 2009 at 11:26 PM
Thank you for sharing this info. I have to say I will probably watch this train wreck to its conclusion Tuesday. After that, I am DONE with The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. Thank god that Melissa (and my fave Jillian) got to see Jason’s true character before it was too late. I hope she gives them hell on AFTR2!
February 26th, 2009 at 11:26 PM
I’ll don’t watch The View anymore. Can’t take Elizabeth. But I will watch tomorrow.
February 26th, 2009 at 11:26 PM
2″28. virginiabeachcheckingin | February 26th, 2009 at 11:22 pm
I don’t know if the View ladies have been following; I don’t normally watch it either, but am going to try
Since “The View” is also ABC, don’t the ladies have to “tow the company line”?
I think they would not be allowed to say anything more radical than what Chris Harrison is saying on his blog, regardless of what they may know.
Marti
February 26th, 2009 at 11:27 PM
opps. I not l’ll. Please don’t tell English 101 on me.
February 26th, 2009 at 11:28 PM
That’s a good point; they may very well have constraints put on them as to what they can and can’t say to Jason;
February 26th, 2009 at 11:29 PM
Oh….I hadn’t read all the postings here yet.
So Jason will be on the View tomorrow! Interesting.
I’ll tape it.
February 26th, 2009 at 11:30 PM
Haha oh yeah, and I’ve been reading Steve for years
. But only posting this season for obvious reasons!
February 26th, 2009 at 11:31 PM
Yup – The View tomorrow. late Mon night w/Jimmey K, and then next Fri w/Elllen.
February 26th, 2009 at 11:32 PM
To smp-
I, too, was born and raised in GR. Although i’ve been gone for many years, it still seems quite conservative. It will be interesting to see how the local coverage plays out.
February 26th, 2009 at 11:32 PM
Hi Pink! You promised me it would be Mel
I told you not to let me down!
WHat else have you found out? Does this by any chance come out in the ATFR?
So you finally got the name of Mol’s 3 yr relationship – I had heard about the married man, but didn’t know who he was. I sure hope his wife already knew – if not, she does now.
February 26th, 2009 at 11:34 PM
Wonder is Steve would want to try to get in touch w/that general mgr from the country club? I’m thinking Steve wouldn’t go near rumors of Molly having an affair w/a married man though.
February 26th, 2009 at 11:34 PM
I think we should all meet here Monday night and make our own drinking game. Every time Jason says AMAZING we have to take a drink. I’d be drunk by 8:15.
February 26th, 2009 at 11:36 PM
You know, it’s really amazing what a small world this really is; here are these random people on shows, and you can always find links to people who know people, and come up with all the info on them. I’m sure glad the internet came to be while I was still young enough to learn to use it; what a tool.
No matter what you want to know, you can eventually usually find it online somewhere.
February 26th, 2009 at 11:37 PM
Good one roroannie!
February 26th, 2009 at 11:38 PM
Then Dragon Fly you probably know which country club it is…the real expensive one.
Yeah – the GR Press really amped this up. Another name out there besides DeVoss & Van Andel.
Yep – still conservative.
February 26th, 2009 at 11:38 PM
I know – I’m really torn: on Monday night supposed to be going to a bridge group, and was going to record everything; but I’m SO tempted to watch it all live when it broadcasts.
Which is ridiculous when you come right down to it!
February 26th, 2009 at 11:38 PM
SMP – Why don’t you e-mail RS and get him on the hunt?
February 26th, 2009 at 11:40 PM
Also – this wouldn’t be the golf course Mol took J to, would it?
February 26th, 2009 at 11:41 PM
to SMP
Based on a phone conversation I had yesterday, the Press is already having difficulty determining how to continue their coverage. Did you see Steve’s link about this a few days ago?
February 26th, 2009 at 11:43 PM
whoknew – yeah I was thinking of doing that so I’ll just do it.
It is the same course – at the expen$ive country club.
February 26th, 2009 at 11:43 PM
I’m interested in the e-mails.
Is that sick?
February 26th, 2009 at 11:43 PM
Here is what I heard…Dont have a clue if there is any truth to it I am just passing it on so take it for what it is worth
Marrie man Brian, works at Country club, married and Molly went on the show to make him jealous….it did not work….they all went on the ATFR 1 and Molly told Melissa what her and J did in the tent and that she thought she was pg…that upset Mel and she walks off stage but they did not break up……J was really upset….she was trying to stir up trouble with J and Mel…
February 26th, 2009 at 11:45 PM
Yes, the one w/John G? I like him and it will be interesting to see where this goes. I met John once – he is super nice.
February 26th, 2009 at 11:46 PM
Wow, Pink! After all those rumors about someone preg – then J saying nothing happening in the tent because they actually only had 3 hours (My goodness – even I don’t believe he could be THAT good in bed) – but of course, Mel did say Mol smelled like J when she came home that morning………………………
I need an exorcist – my head is spinning…
February 26th, 2009 at 11:46 PM
Hi pinkgirl!
Have you talked, well posted, haha to Kate about this? Does she know anything?
February 26th, 2009 at 11:47 PM
too funny whoknew!
February 26th, 2009 at 11:48 PM
roroannie,
Haha no, it isn’t!! Omg I am too . . . I totally support Steve not posting them and yet I so badly want to read them! Ugh
P
February 26th, 2009 at 11:48 PM
No I have not seen Kate on recently….But I have not been on a lot…..I am really not sure about this….
I do know someone going to the taping tom. so we will know more then
February 26th, 2009 at 11:50 PM
I don’t even know this person I have become.
February 26th, 2009 at 11:50 PM
Pink – you’ll have to post ASAP tomorrow………….I haven’t seen Kate on since yesterday afternoon (I think – i day is running into the next these days). I don’t think Molly’s really preg, though – do you?
February 26th, 2009 at 11:52 PM
No I really dont….The problem I had with Molly is that her edit on the show always made me feel like she was in it to win, not really for J…so I always questioned that in the back of my mind…..
Then again who knows…I have heard her parents are not happy about something so I am not sure what that something is….
February 26th, 2009 at 11:55 PM
You guys dont forget, Jason will be on The View tomorrow.
February 26th, 2009 at 11:57 PM
I e-mailed Steve the name of the country club but doubt he will look into it. My jaw dropped when my Dad said that Brian J is the GM.
February 26th, 2009 at 11:58 PM
I think Kate said Mol’s parents were unhappy……..they seemed like nice people, but this TB thing may be getting to them. They hadn’t seen any of the show when Mol and J went on HTD – now they’ve seen what looks like a “player” in action – but, geez – if there is a preg involved, wouldn’t want to be in any of their shoes.
In the Bach contract, that particular possibility is mentioned – it says the show will not be held liable and that the participants should conduct themselves in a manner that is considered socially acceptable and not in a reckless manner. Wow…………
February 26th, 2009 at 11:59 PM
Pink, I read over at FORT that Molly did this to make the married guy jealous and force him to choose. When J didn’t pick her and she went home, it didn’t work and he wasn’t jealous. She then called TPTB and said she might be pregnant. Supposedly she spills everything to Melissa at the ATFR 1 and Melissa walks off. J then finds out that Molly is lying about being pregnant and he goes to Melissa and explains he was only seeing Molly because she told him she might be pregnant and he was “doing the right thing”. ATFR 2 is supposed to be about how Melissa and Jason have worked everything out.
My head is spinning from all the stories and rumors going around. I will be interested to read what else RS was hinting that he would tell, I think he said Monday. I also read that MF is frustrated that so many people are ignoring their contracts and talking and the legal team can’t shut them up. I would say they would have a difficult time enforcing their contract if they themselves broke it to get Molly and Jason together before the ATFR 1. I’m not sure they would have a leg to stand on in court, not to mention the negative publicity.
I have a headache.
February 27th, 2009 at 12:00 AM
If you want to get a good laugh go watch this Youtube
After the final Rose exposed
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dol0BcAcyx4
February 27th, 2009 at 12:01 AM
If her parents really are unhappy, that would make things interesting . . . especially after her repeating so often that she would never again date someone they disapproved of!
February 27th, 2009 at 12:01 AM
Well I am not sure how it happened but I did hear that Molly was adamit-sp about getting in touch with Jason after being back home and I believe in the contract that it says that can not contact each other???
February 27th, 2009 at 12:01 AM
SMP –
I know plenty of people in the golf industry. What is the name of the country club. I can easily help people get the initial pieces together.
February 27th, 2009 at 12:03 AM
Hey guys! I thought you would be interested in this. Dont know if it is true, but ,maybe it could be another thing RS will tell us.. Or we could ask him if its true.
FORT guy from Houston, Texas claims today he acquired a copy and sent it to Reality Steve. RS may or may not post it, in part or in full. “I have reviewed the most current (2008-2009) TB Participant’s Agreement, which is substantially revised from Trista’s 2002 contract, but not in the ways that some folks have speculated about. This contract has never been released. Some very interesting new language about “twists and intentional misrepresentations” by the producers, special episodes, exclusive rights and terms of payment for any wedding, return of the engagement ring, right to withdraw (must be on camera), prohibited contact with other participants, and confidentiality. A detailed summary has been emailed to RS for use on his website.” . . . “The new contract is fascinating because they’ve plugged holes in exactly the ways you would expect (only $10,000 paid per viewing hour for the wedding, requires return of the ring), and made it vastly more one sided and punitive, and shameless in the conduct that is released (absolute right to lie, defame and humiliate), and takes advantage of people when the producers have their best bargaining position (eg, future option on services at deep discounts) – but interestingly the strict confidentiality language has been roundly ignored (eg, Shannon and Megan, who gave somewhat unflattering peaks into how the show is done). So, it’s a much improved document for ABC but it hardly matters if people are going to sign it and then do what they will do – which is just human nature.”
February 27th, 2009 at 12:04 AM
guys… the pregnancy from the tent date rumor as laid out in post #254 and #267 was posted on the Fort as a joke. They wanted to see how long it would take to be posted on other boards as fact.
February 27th, 2009 at 12:07 AM
In reference to “The View”. I tape it regularly — I find it very entertaining (especially if you don’t take it seriously and tune out Elisabeth). Elisabeth is a rabid TB fan and reports about it on every Tuesday show. I have been waiting for her to mention the swirling rumors for the last few weeks until I realized that of course The View is connected with ABC.
I believe there is no way the “ladies” of The View with all their access to the media are unaware or have not been apprised of the rumors so it is clear that Elisabeth cannot bring them up. Also, although they like to brag the show is “live”, they have given it away that the Friday show is usually pre-recorded so they can have the day off. So in any event, Jason will not be “live” tomorrow. I guess the only way we’ll find out if they are muzzled by ABC will be on the Tuesday, March 3rd show. As such a fan of TB it will be very interesting what Elisabeth will (or is allowed to) say. My guess is she will only be permitted to give the ABC “positive” spin.
February 27th, 2009 at 12:10 AM
LaLa – I believe the FORT poster who e-mailed that to Steve is up & up and very respected. I hope Steve puts it up.
Steve e-mailed me that he doesn’t care about Molly & alleged married boyfriend story which is how I thought he’d respond.
February 27th, 2009 at 12:12 AM
#268 – that utube thing is pretty funny!
February 27th, 2009 at 12:12 AM
Smp –
Again, I volunteer to look into it, but I need the name of the country club.
February 27th, 2009 at 12:13 AM
#268. That was hilarious!
February 27th, 2009 at 12:13 AM
spunk,
LOL!!!!!! Loved that video! Especially the end
February 27th, 2009 at 12:13 AM
268. spunk That was funny…”Jason, that was ASSY” LOL
Of course they put Melissa in white shorts hahaha
How ’bout Chris Harrison’s arms waving all around lol
February 27th, 2009 at 12:14 AM
SMP – sorry RS wasn’t interested. I think it’s very telling about Molly.
February 27th, 2009 at 12:15 AM
268.
That was a wonderful video. Thanks for sharing!!!
I liked the fact that Molly was as stiff in that CGI video as she is in real life!!
I’m only kidding.
February 27th, 2009 at 12:21 AM
#273 I was on FORT when the poster came and said what she had read.

Okay….So Mol went on the show to make the married BF jealous….J did not choose her and once she got back home the jealousy plan did not work….so when she gets really upset and lets it out to TPTB that she might be pg….she on the closed set of AFTR 1, she tells Mel that they actually had fun in the tent and that she thinks she is PG…Mel gets upset and walks off stage but her and J work it out…..and something about she was trying to take away Mels happiness….again I am just reading this…..I am still reading…will be back…..

Then some other people took off with it and another poster FRAK posted some other wild story and that is the one they said would be all over the alphabet board and others.
February 27th, 2009 at 12:21 AM
I’m curious to see what happens on The View. Will they just completel y ignore the rumors?! They all know by now. Will they ask if he’s engaged or tip toe around it like the show did the other day?! That’s suspicious as well considering he told everyone he was engaged in early interviews. And if he says he’s engaged that means it will be to Molly. 2 proposals in 3 months and 3 in 9 months. Yikes.
February 27th, 2009 at 12:22 AM
I just saw the preview to the Jimmy Kimmel with Jason. I found it funny out ABC is starting to oust this whole idoicy by saying “Jason comes to explain his shocking change of mind twist”. It is now obvious ABC is trying to prepare its viewers of what is about to go down.
February 27th, 2009 at 12:27 AM
Jimmy Kimmel Just talked about how many rumors are going around with the bachelor. He said he heard that Jason found out the woman that he picked had horns under her scalp or hair.
February 27th, 2009 at 12:27 AM
Ha! You have to love Jimmy Kimmel.
February 27th, 2009 at 12:28 AM
Youtube video was way too funny. I think it was more entertaining that the real final shows will be. But I think Melissa should have told Jason she’s leaving him for a guy named Steve who has a great dog named Maddie.
February 27th, 2009 at 12:32 AM
Jared – I think it was Egypt Valley Country Club
February 27th, 2009 at 12:35 AM
Jared – but I’m not sure if that’s where he is GM – just where I think they (J & Mol) played golf.
February 27th, 2009 at 12:36 AM
Yup – whoknew is 100% correct.
I was debating if I should post it but whoknew just did..
February 27th, 2009 at 12:36 AM
He is GM at EV.
February 27th, 2009 at 12:37 AM
Sorry smp – didn’t know if anyone had noticed Jared’s comments. I saw them when I was reading back over the past comments – sometimes I skip ahead – then go back.
February 27th, 2009 at 12:39 AM
Oh no – I am glad you posted it. How you found out, now that I would love to know!
February 27th, 2009 at 12:39 AM
Thanks GP, I see what you’re saying. It will be REALLY wild if Molly brings up a possible pregnancy on ATFR Part 1. It sure would make the while thing sound even more scripted! “Ok Molly, we have an idea here, you tell Melissa you think you’re pregnant, right? It’ll be great!” *facepalm*
February 27th, 2009 at 12:40 AM
LOL
February 27th, 2009 at 12:41 AM
Ok — that theory is bogus if that is the golf course. Bo Picklesimer is the general manager at Egypt Valley Country Club. Theory over.
February 27th, 2009 at 12:43 AM
SMP –
Where did you get that information? My golf sources said Egypt Valley was looking for a new GM in 2007, and as of Feb. 1st this year Bo Picklesimer is the general manager at the Ada, MI course.
February 27th, 2009 at 12:43 AM
Really? I swear to God I called my Dad and he said there is a Brian J who is GM. WTF? Do you know if there used to be a Brian J?
February 27th, 2009 at 12:44 AM
Is he the GM of the course – or the club?
February 27th, 2009 at 12:47 AM
SMP & Jared -
Found this:
“Things are pretty tough all over and especially so in our industry,” said Egypt Valley’s new general manager, Bo Picklesimer.
Coming from Kentucky, Picklesimer is retooling the Ada Township club that, along with the economic downturn, lost members after a bitter controversy and lawsuit involving golf staff.
February 27th, 2009 at 12:48 AM
Steve Pastoor used to be the GM, re-signed or forced to re-sign in 2007.
February 27th, 2009 at 12:50 AM
I’ve been googling like crazy trying to find a reference to any Brian at EV. My Dad would of had more contact w/the club person but I am so pissed. I know he had a stroke last year but jeeez! Come on Dad.
Too late to call him.
February 27th, 2009 at 12:51 AM
That video had me laughing so loud! Loved the rap song with eating McDonald’s nuggets and fries!! Brilliant….or should I say, “amazing.”
February 27th, 2009 at 12:53 AM
Look guys. Honestly, I would like this to be way different. I think, and I mentioned this Reality Steve, that Melissa Rycroft is one of those people who have the world at her hands — and she doesn’t realize yet.
She’s a bit naive. She’s the world as a wonderful place, when in fact it can be very jaded. She is too trusting. And TBTB played off of this.
I can a second-hand source that has confirmed all of RS’ information. I would never come out with that source because it technically is whisper down the lane sort of stuff, but he never heard of RS and he echoed it almost word for word.
Monday will be horrible. Tuesday will be vomit worthy. But in the end, Melissa — even though he hurts now — is better off.
Sorry, I had to get that off my chest. I’ll step down off the pedestal and search the Michigan private country club indes
February 27th, 2009 at 12:57 AM
Jared – smp: Try Brian Jackson
February 27th, 2009 at 1:04 AM
Thanks who but nothing by googling him
Per my Dad that is where they filmed the HTD but w/his tract record I’m not 100%.
February 27th, 2009 at 1:05 AM
No biggie – I’m probably wrong.
I’m off here for tonight!
February 27th, 2009 at 1:05 AM
Jared, thanks for sharing your own info. The more confirmations that pile up, the more people are prepared for this. I’m one who watches the show for laughs and the soap opera-ishness of it all, but I have a dear friend from college who watches it for the “love story.” She also is spoiler free. She’s going to be sick and shocked over this, but at least people who DO read spoilers are prepared…
If they can wade through some of the ABC message board plants insisting Jason is a wonderful, fabulous man, that is. Saint Jason indeed.
February 27th, 2009 at 1:08 AM
No dice. He was a committee member of a tournament held at Egypt Valley, but not on staff.
As I said, I really wish this was different. I thought we had received our love story, and I have every reason to believe Melissa did as well.
Sad to say that isn’t what happened. I keep looking for theories to refute RS and my source, who again is not a direct contact but a second-hand so I take him with some grain of salt, but now it’s been picked up by Access Hollywood, which loves access to these shows so they wouldn’t run with a story if it was false.
I will repeat again because it is how I feel. I wish it was different. I personally think Melissa is a wonderful person, and she approached the show in such a manner.
Real shame.
February 27th, 2009 at 1:08 AM
I must admit VAgirl, I watch for the love story as well. But nothing shocks me anymore after Brad’s season.
February 27th, 2009 at 1:12 AM
VAgirl,
It’s hard to believe for us, but most people are prolly without spoilers! Haha isn’t that a funny thought?
February 27th, 2009 at 1:15 AM
My Mom is a faithful Bach watcher and she has no clue what is about to happen. I told her stuff is going to happen & she asked what but I didn’t have the energy to explain it all.
February 27th, 2009 at 1:15 AM
Nichelle, I did too at one point. But Firestone’s season was the last one I watched for that purpose. I can’t remember when that even aired, but I think it was when I was about mid-way through college. Bob’s season was too much to stomach, and I only tolerated a couple episodes of that. Next time I watched was Andy’s season, and that’s when I started watching for laughs. Well, also because I was worried about how awful that guy was gonna make the Navy look. Oy.
Now that I’m older, my jerk-o-meter and my fake-o-meter works much better (due to so much real-life experience, haha!!!), and I had pegged Jason as a phony right away in DeAnna’s season. So none of this is surprising to me, sadly.
February 27th, 2009 at 1:16 AM
No problem VAgirl. I’ve heard details about the ATFR and some leading up to it, but it’s just through my second-hand source, not RS.
RS said he planned on contacting my source to see if his information was correct. I’m not sure it is, although he did match RS on all the main info before knowing who he was.
It’s just really said. Yes, this is a TV show. But all of this could have been avoided. I’ve tried to hint to RS that he should release the e-mails to confirm Melissa getting set up to fall, but IMO he probably won’t do that.
February 27th, 2009 at 1:17 AM
LOL, SMP! Let her be surprised and then come and tell us what she thinks.
February 27th, 2009 at 1:18 AM
I am glad that we had to register as it was very hard to read some of the comments from the last few days. I have believed RS since the first time I heard it. Something about this season and Jason was off and I just couldn’t put my finger on it. When the rumor came out my woman’s intuition agreed with him. I am not as upset as I was initially. I was one of those saps who hopes to see a potential real match made before our eyes. I guess the best thing I got from this whole season is to realize how manipulated any reality show can be and probably is and to view any reality show without the rose colored (bad pun) glasses on.
February 27th, 2009 at 1:20 AM
Kam –
I also wasn’t upset until I heard how devastated Melissa was. In my opinion from watching the show, and from things I’ve been told, she very much fell in love with this man. I believe she wanted to marry him, or at least make every attempt to make the relationship work. She fell in love with Ty.
And then came the national TV explosion. sigh.
February 27th, 2009 at 1:21 AM
That is interesting!!!!! I thought Jason was fake in DeAnna’s season too. I also don’t believe that he was one of the last to get to know her……he came across to me as pushy. But I have to admit utter SHOCK when she picked Jesse over him. And before that I was even more shocked that she let Jeremy go. Didn’t get that one AT ALL.
February 27th, 2009 at 1:21 AM
Quick ? – I read mentions of Bob’s season – was he a jerk or something. No one seems to like him much. IIRC he was from MI but I never watched it.
February 27th, 2009 at 1:25 AM
I think Melissa and all of the other girls are probably really good people. Well, maybe one has a really big ego. It’s all about editing, as Rs’s interview with Megan clearly showed
February 27th, 2009 at 1:25 AM
Someone on youtube created an animated video of the ATFR lol Gave me a laugh.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dol0BcAcyx4
February 27th, 2009 at 1:26 AM
I dont know about everyone else but this is taking over way to much of my time!! I want it to end, lol. Its invading my dreams now!!! AHHH!
Lmao, anyone else having this issue. RS invading your dreams as well??
February 27th, 2009 at 1:28 AM
Hi RS and all on the board,
This is a little off topic, but I wanted to comment on Brad’s decision (in the last season of the Bachelor) to not pick either woman. I thought it showed class that he refused to carry on a relationship which he wasn’t interested in pursuing further.
I bring this up because a ton of people dogged Brad for being a cad (when in fact he was being respectful) and so many people support Jason because he’s a “nice guy”.
I’m glad I stumbled upon this site, I haven’t posted on a board for years, but come on – this is fun!
Cheers : )
February 27th, 2009 at 1:29 AM
LaLa… As Megan would say, “O.M.G.!” lol I completely know what you mean. I’m soooo ready for this to be over. I had a dream a few nights ago about Molly getting her butt kicked by Melissa on t.v. LOL So crazy. I’ve spent way too much time on this.
February 27th, 2009 at 1:30 AM
LOL! Me too LALA! Ready for this season to be OVER!
February 27th, 2009 at 1:31 AM
cynstriss –
I completely agree. They all probably are wonderful people. Yet, out of 25 girls there is only one girl who…
a)fell hopelessly in love with a man and his son
b)thought she was engaged
c)had it all end on a taped program to air on national tv
All of these women look like beautiful, talented women i agree.
February 27th, 2009 at 1:32 AM
Jared at 318, agreed. The people I feel most horrible for are Melissa and Ty. When RS first put his videos and long post up, I felt sick to my stomach. Melissa was not my favorite; frankly the hyper perkiness irritated me, but I thought she was a nice person based on what we saw. I feel horrible for her.
Ty is the one I feel worst for, though. First there’s the fact that he was dragged into this mess in the first place. I just can’t get over the fact that a father could do something like that when he has a son who looks up to him. I’m not naive about much these days, but I guess I am about that part in life. Essentially says, IMO, that that’s okay behavior for Ty to engage in one day. Role model? I see no role model.
Nichelle at 319, I also thought he was pushy. Slightly full of it, too. I read FORT at the time, so I knew about a week before the finale it was Jesse. That was all so bizarre. I ADORED Jeremy. He’s my fave person on this show ever. Probably because (based on the edit, anyway), that’s exactly the type of guy I would fall for in real life.
February 27th, 2009 at 1:32 AM
Nichelle and VAgirl,
I have a question for you guys!!! I am trying to learn that skill of readin people better, and so I would love to know what made you think Jason was no good so early . . . what did he do or say that made you suspicious? I’m serious, I am trying to learn this and I would love to know!!
February 27th, 2009 at 1:33 AM
Hi ACM. I’m in agreement with you about Brad. I was initially shocked when he didn’t choose either of the final women, but after all the craziness blew over, I felt it was the right thing to do if he didn’t actually see himself marrying either of them. I think it showed more class and cojones than most would have the chutzpa to do. Only thing is…was that the doings of TPTB too? Who knows. I’ve seen a few videos on youtube with Brad being interviewed by large groups of people/fans/spectators…being asked the hard questions about his final decision. Call me gullible, but I think he did the right thing on his own. I tend to be an optimist.
February 27th, 2009 at 1:34 AM
Good point ACM! I admire Brad for not going along with the “plan”. It took a lot of courage for Brad to do what he did.
February 27th, 2009 at 1:35 AM
Pink,
Go back to MRU and cuddle up with your friends.
February 27th, 2009 at 1:36 AM
So…what started out as an amusing way to while away the days with my sprained ankle has turned into quite an expose of reality tv….I am all for anything that hastens its death. Bravo Steve!
February 27th, 2009 at 1:36 AM
Jared I really hear you on that. Melissa was my favorite all along followed by Jillian and Naomi(although I didn’t see Jason falling for them) and I was steaming mad for days ask my husband…lol He had to hear every last detail because he’s been watching this time too because we thought Jason was finally a real man with a real life situation- a child- not the kind of bachelor they usually have. Anyways, the reason I liked those 3 girls was because, perhaps due to the editing, they just seemed to be the most genuine. Jason, however had me totally duped…
February 27th, 2009 at 1:36 AM
VAgirl –
Melissa is hyper perky, a lot of energy can be annoying to some. But from my view of her and what I heard from those at least semi close to the action…everyone loved her and thought the world would be her playground in future.
You will cry Monday night. If the reaction she says is what I’m told, you will cry.
But she is better off.
February 27th, 2009 at 1:39 AM
VAgirl, I agree. Melissa wasn’t my fav….but I feel for ANYONE if they’re used or abused, deceived or betrayed. I think out of everyone, Ty is the one who gets the short end of the stick. If his father is one who is easily manipulated and/or voluntarily deceitful, he doesn’t have a very good role model. I sincerely hope, however, that he really did just have a “change of heart” and that he’s not the scum people are making him out to be.
February 27th, 2009 at 1:40 AM
Seashells, I don’t know. I can’t really put my finger on it. I guess I could sum it up this way, have you ever met a person who really came across as really nice and very sweet but you just did not like them? He has just always appeared so fake to me. Even now when I watch him it’s painful, because I can see that he is not comfortable in this situation. I guess I just sense his insecurity. He never seems comfortable with anyone, not even Molly.
February 27th, 2009 at 1:40 AM
Yes Brad is looking better these days isn’t he?
February 27th, 2009 at 1:44 AM
Brad is very handsome! Jason doesn’t even hold a candle……
February 27th, 2009 at 1:44 AM
One thing about Megan’s interview is very strange: the timeline. If she was cast as quickly as she said, there was no time to do a thorough background check on her. Maybe they knew she didn’t really have any chance and was just single mom “filler” that would only be around a couple of weeks.
February 27th, 2009 at 1:44 AM
Please someone tell me why no one likes Bob the Bach? Was he a moron, jerk?
February 27th, 2009 at 1:46 AM
Oh – another funy thing I wanted to point out.
For anyone who watches Two and a Half Men, isn’t it funny how similar Jason is to Charlie’s brother Alan?
He lives with his brother, has a ho-hum career, he has a child and is divorced from his wife….
I feel bad, I used to really like Jason he seemed like the nice guy who was taken advantage of last season, but after watching this season unfold???
He seems SO fake and two-dimensional, and so cold and callous to Jillian!!
I’m from Vancouver too, so I hope she’s moved on (I don’t know her so I can’t comment) – she deserves WAAAY better!!
February 27th, 2009 at 1:46 AM
Nichelle, I couldn’t agree MORE!
February 27th, 2009 at 1:47 AM
327. Jared — Oh I agree, except I think Jillian was right up there too. Jason kept pressing her to show that she really was into him, then when he can have no doubt, he dumps her. I was so shocked. Even though I know this is just entertainment, this season had three woman (I include Steph) that I felt were far and away above any I have seen in previous seasons. Just my opinion.
February 27th, 2009 at 1:47 AM
Is anyone going to watch next season? I emailed Steve and told him I didn’t think I would watch anymore. It’s just been waaaaayyyy to WEIRD this season.
February 27th, 2009 at 1:47 AM
Nichelle,
That actually does make sense! I sensed that insecurity about him, but I gave him way too much benefit of the doubt in terms of how he would act or not act on it, how he would channel it or deal with it. Sad
February 27th, 2009 at 1:47 AM
Bob seemed to be one of the audience favs in Trista’s season and then was not so liked in his own season. Sounds familar huh? LMAO And we just keep watching…
February 27th, 2009 at 1:49 AM
LOL Kam. It’s like a train wreck. Just can’t look away.
February 27th, 2009 at 1:49 AM
I didn’t watch Bob’s season. Couldn’t get with his perm! LOL!
February 27th, 2009 at 1:50 AM
I am sure I’ll watch next season – was a Bachelor/ette virgin up ’til this season and now that I have a taste of it. I want more
February 27th, 2009 at 1:52 AM
LMAO Nichelle. I liked Bob as the goof ball – best friend -the guy you’d like to go to a karaoke bar with – when we first saw him on Trista’s season, but couldn’t take him serious as a bachelor.
February 27th, 2009 at 1:52 AM
Seashells, what do you think about Jason’s limited vocabulary? For instance the only word he uses to describe anything is AMAZING!
And is it just me or were all of the Bachelors from the beginning supposed to be millionaires? Alex Michel from the first season what did he do for a living?
February 27th, 2009 at 1:53 AM
Jason was very cold and nonchalant to Jillian at the WTA and it made him look even worse than he allready did. They play this guy up as so very caring about others feelings and then we get that. I still don’t understand his breakdown after she left if she was no more than a friend. Nichelle this season has not been enjoyable to me..I don’t know if I will watch the next train wreck or not.
February 27th, 2009 at 1:54 AM
Hey Steve, I found this on youtube and it really made me laugh. I thought you might enjoy it. I thank you for all your great info, even though I am still wishing for a happy ending for Mel and Jason. I am hoping this youtube will make you laugh.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dol0BcAcyx4
February 27th, 2009 at 1:54 AM
LOL # 349
February 27th, 2009 at 1:54 AM
That’s funny Melanie. I think ol’ Bob has done alright for himself. He married a beautiful actress. Not bad! LOL!
February 27th, 2009 at 1:55 AM
I felt so bad for Jason last year and I got sucked into the Bachelor/Bachelorette vortex. I watched some episodes of it before, but that as the first season I watched start to finish.
I don’t know how this ends, finishes or begins, but so far it does not add up to a pretty edit.
I want to believe in my heart of hearts he is doing this for all the right reasons, but when you are 32 years old with a 4 year old kid, and Dad has picked a 24 and a 25 yr old that have no children who have no idea that it really not that much fun to watch, “Dora The Explorer” or Transformers or any cartoon. (except Spongebob, he rules.) So let’s simply move on to a craft activity that your kid thinks is super lame.
If your stepson does not want to make a rainbow on a paper plate, or hear another knock knock joke, he is just not that into you.
I fear those young women will be running with Fiskar scissors out the door!
February 27th, 2009 at 1:57 AM
My first post here and RS, thanks for your site and the blog here! Hugs to Maddie!!!
I love this show in a peculiar sort of way and am almost hyperventilating now with what I’ve read. I sure hope the outcome wasn’t planned, but anything can go in Hollywood I guess.
Listening to Megan Parris’s audio, so much is done to make it look one way for us. Intentionally sneaky! Thanks for that interview RS and hope you can locate the last bit. I hated Megan on the show and now realize she’s a great person, and really intelligent, especially for saying yes to giving life to her little guy, even though she never married the father. Bravo to you Megan!!! You’re a hero! Mr. Right is in your future! He’ll be your best friend, too!
We should have a countdown clock on this site or for Monday night. I can’t wait, or can I…
I’ve read throught the posters, but think I missed something. Was Molly seeing a man named Brian J who worked at a golf club, and he was married? and someone is trying to find Brian to talk to him? Is that right?
February 27th, 2009 at 1:57 AM
I’m not seashells but I stated somewhere in this thread that Jason lost me at “amazing”. It bugged me so much. Then he’ll say “Stephanie and I’s relationship is just friends”. He’s done the so & so and I’s… a couple times.
This guy has a 4 year degree? I’m going to send him a thesaurus w/the word amazing highlighted.
February 27th, 2009 at 1:57 AM
I feel the same way Kam. I can’t do it either. I felt really bad the way people were picking on poor Brad when he didn’t pick anyone. And I feel very bad for poor Melissa. This show to me has become about heartache. I have enough of that in my life, I don’t need to turn on the television and watch it happen to some poor soul that just wants to find love. After all, isn’t that why we are all here?
February 27th, 2009 at 1:57 AM
The first season I watched was Trista’s. Then I didnt watch another one until Matt Grant’s season. I kind of got sucked into it. Now all this drama. Oy! I cant stop. Like Melanie 222 said, its like a train wreck and you cant look away! I want to but I cant, lol.
Did anyone think on how ABC will spin this? I believe RS for some reason. In his videos he just doesnt look like he is lying. I just dont think he would risk his long time fan base unless he was 100 percant sure. Do you think they will show Jason breaking up with Melissa now? Whats your theories?
February 27th, 2009 at 2:00 AM
LaLa –
From what I’m told, they will just make it appear like he was torn, there was a problem with Melissa’s family and after six weeks of trying really hard he couldn’t stop thinking about Molly.
What really happened…far, far different.
February 27th, 2009 at 2:01 AM
arizonak – so far rumors – no facts re: country club/married man theory & Steve doesn’t really care about that angle.
Jared is, however, looking into it more.
February 27th, 2009 at 2:02 AM
LMAO! SMP, we should all do it! What was that show where the fans sent the producers/writers peanuts?
Maybe we should all send Mike Fleiss pencils, SO HE CAN REWRITE THE ENDING!
February 27th, 2009 at 2:02 AM
Exactly Nichelle we want a happy ending or at least a non painful ending. ABC has never gotten this. I happened to have liked Charlies’s season because it was more laid back and real. I loved when he walked in when they were all sleeping and no makeup, no hairdos to have an impromptu date…lol Who the heck goes on these kind of glitzy dates in real life except celebs?
February 27th, 2009 at 2:03 AM
Hmmm, I wonder how long Melissa will have to be quiet? I know if that happened to me, I would yell it from the moutain tops. There has to be a loop hole in that contract some where??
February 27th, 2009 at 2:03 AM
Ah – the show was Jericho.
February 27th, 2009 at 2:04 AM
Nichelle and smp,
Haha I love to make fun of his “amazing” vocabulary, too, but I was actually under the impression that ABC tells all bachelors/ettes to only use simple words. I remember this from previous seasons when participants would later laugh about it and complain that ABC must think their audience is really dumb, and I think Jason even mentioned it on one interview this season somewhere. Haha so if that’s true, at least that’s one thing that he’s not responsible for, LOL!!!
February 27th, 2009 at 2:05 AM
LaLa –
She “technically” has to stay quiet for two years I believe per the contract. Whether or not she follows it is another story. And does anyone really think ABC would sue her after what they will be putting her through.
Though RS told me that she really just wants to put it all behind her.
February 27th, 2009 at 2:05 AM
Oh okay. No biggie. I only read a bit of it and had to ask.
I hope Molly and Jason are very happy with each other. I wonder if they’re best friends and more?
February 27th, 2009 at 2:09 AM
As I read all of these blogs I have come to the conclusion that every bachelor is a bum!
They come on the show and at first evrybody likes them.
Then as they begin to “canoodle” with the women they become less and less likeable.
And then when they cut favorite bachelorettes they become “scumbags”.
This is nothing more than a TV show that is produced purely for the entertainment of the audience.
Does anyone in their right mind really think that Melissa went on this show with the hope and expectation that she would leave Dallas, move to Seattle, marry a divorced insurance salesman with a kid who lives with his brother, and live happily ever after?
It is much more likely that Melissa, after gaining 15 minutes of fame as a DCC on that TV show, was looking to extend to 30 minutes.
So please let’s not all weep for poor Melissa. She got exaclty what she wanted out of this show.
Molly, on the other hand, may actually have wanted Jason. But let’s get serious. The odds that their relationship will end up with wedding bells is almost nil.
February 27th, 2009 at 2:09 AM
Jared- Thanks for answering my questions! I hope that she does talk. I mean, if she did, I think that could save some other girl from this craziness.
Im off to bed. Hopefully for a RS dream free night! LoL
February 27th, 2009 at 2:10 AM
arizonak, I totally agree. My impression of Megan has COMPLETELY changed since she was on the show. Before the interview, I saw her myspace page, and the impression she gives there is completely different than the edit she received. The interview with RS just confirmed for me that she’s not what or who she was portrayed to be. Which makes me believe that ANYTHING is possible with t.v. We can be led to believe anything they want us to believe.
February 27th, 2009 at 2:13 AM
Jericho! Great show!
February 27th, 2009 at 2:14 AM
#371 – ita, in the real world would any of these ladies fall madly in love w/this guy? I simply cannot picture Jason & Mel together. As my grandma would say “Jason got too big for his britches” and started believing he’s this stud. Purely my opinion, of course.
February 27th, 2009 at 2:15 AM
Sorry! I meant: Great show?
I’m getting as bad as Jason with the ! just the way he says amazing all of the time….
February 27th, 2009 at 2:18 AM
#371 you make some valid points but the difference this time is this is a single father (never had a bachelor or bachelorette with a child) and the audience naturally held him to a higher standard of heavior and seriousness of intent. No being a parent does not require sainthood but more discretion and maturity than what they have portrayed Jason to be. He lost me at the door of the tent…
February 27th, 2009 at 2:19 AM
375. smp — In all honesty, when I was single, the Jason they portrayed in Deanna’s season was very much my type. Now, not so much!! Fortunately I found my true love. And I would live in a tent with my husband if I had to.
February 27th, 2009 at 2:23 AM
Steve has posted a new column. I’m off to bed. Goodnight all until we meet again…..sweet dreams!
February 27th, 2009 at 2:24 AM
Jason wasn’t my type last season or this season personality or look wise. I see him as a little dull and while cute he can also look a tad dorky. lol I
I don’t think he’s evil but I also don’t think he’s the saint everyone thought he was. I think he’s desperate to get married and I’m not sure why the desperation. If it didn’t work with Melissa all the more reason to take your time with Molly and date a year to see how things go. I hope rumors that they are engaged are false.
February 27th, 2009 at 2:26 AM
Yay new column! I’m off to bed, too, after I go read it.
‘Night everyone!!!!
February 27th, 2009 at 2:27 AM
Oh – he certainly isn’t ugly and I totally go for dark hair guys but for me it was the personality that rubbed me the wrong way. I could be off base though. Maybe he is a great guy and was mislead.
February 27th, 2009 at 2:29 AM
Moving to other thread….
February 27th, 2009 at 2:37 AM
Seashells, sorry I’m slow replying to you (329), but here goes. I can’t really give you exact examples. As you get older, I think a lot of women just tend to, as the saying goes, develop a more keen sense of women’s intuition. His body language was off a lot for me in DeAnna’s season. Facial mannerisms were strange too. I just sensed a total disconnect from what he would say at times and how he acted and looked, if that makes sense. Red flags were flying everywhere for me in DeAnna’s season. My opinion of him only got worse with his own show.
I have my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology much like Jason, and so part of my suspicions came from things learned in my degree program. But a lot of it came from regular, personal life experiences with fake, phony guys masquerading as sweethearts. Frankly, the joke you usually hear about Psych majors is some of the most messed up people choose that as a major. That’s because it’s the perfect field to go into if you’re manipulative and/or fake about yourself. You learn a lot about facial cues, human psyche, etc; perfect for people looking to fool others. As is marketing; you learn how to sell a lot of bologna in that field, haha. I’m not saying Jason was as sketchy in college as he seems to be now since I wouldn’t know the man or his past from Adam, but it does make one wonder, anyway.

# 168 I have to disagree with you. What made me nuts and felt like nails on a chalkboard was his inability to form a graceful sentence. He sounded like a moron uttering “like” after everything! “Like, like, I, like wanted to like know more about, like, your thoughts and, like, feelings, to like get closer, like y’know?”
Tell me I’m not exaggerating! I put him on mute so much I had to rely on the girl’s expressions to figure what was being said. Truth be told I didn’t miss much. He has a dime store vocabulary. I can’t think of a greater punishment than having to listen to his valley-girl gibberish for the rest of my life! Congratulations Melissa! You’re saved.

This morning I was telling my husband about all this Bachelor craziness this season and he said, I thought you were going to tell me that Mel said, ” I am sorry Jason I can’t date you because I used to date Fabio.” Now, I laughed and laughed, because that is the line from the beautiful girl breaking up at the end of the show with the Joe Schmo guy about 5 years ago….do you remember that show where a beautiful girl dates regular looking Joe Schmo kind of guys? When a good looking guy showed up somewhere towards thed end of the season, she chose the good looking no-job guy instead of the rather plain looking guy who was crazy about her and he had a great tech job. Now, that I realize that much of these shows are scripted, surely the producers who said that this ending was the most dramatic in history, fed her that infamous line said on a beautiful beach with appropriate background music, “sorry I can’t choose you because…..(with tearful eyes and a very long pause for extra drama) I used to date Fabio.” Now, that’s a reason to break up….haha..lol

Hey Reality Steve….I think I just might have figured this out!!!
This is my SCENARIO:
Jason picks Melissa, dumps Melissa, picks Molly and in the ATRC#2, dumps Molly and publicly announces he is gay, hence the closed set that is supposed to be so emoitional…
Whatcha think….

First time poster — I loved Jason and was disappointed that Deanna did not choose him. I watched this season thinking that Jason was going to find true love. Based on everything I have heard and read on this site and others, I am going to be VERY disappointed again. I thought Melissa was the one. No one deserves to be played like she has been.
Are the producers mad because her parents refused to appear on the show or did they know something was not right all along?
I hope that Melissa finds true love like some of the other “rejects” for lack of a better word, have. I love seeing the castoffs meeting and falling in love. Made me think that Melissa needs to be introduced to Jeremy from Dallas. They would make a great couple.

Great idea Steve, as you see here nearly 400 have registered (if these names aren’t duplicate commenters). you should have full charge of who comments on your Site. we’re behind you fully.

Thanks for softening the blow for me RS. I’m almost embarrassed that I have been so into the Bachelor. I guess I was naive enough to think that ABC was giving us a love story that may or may not work out, but was true. I’m so glad I happened on all these posts before the final show aired. I will not be watching any more Bachelor/Bachelorette shows. I would rather waste my time watching soap operas.

Too much to read on the Bachelor but one thing you said, you did not think Molly knew anything when she left NZ. Well, why did she have this smirk on her face, pretty much a broad smile “looking happy”, right as he closed the door to the limo! Then she fakes her tears. SHE IS A BAD ACTRESS. I do feel that Mellissa was hurt and didn’t know this horrible ending. I don’t think too many of us are watching this anymore..I’m not. Too low class for me!!!!!

That’s it for me. No more Bachelor. I am quitting cold turkey although i would love to see Jillian. Brave girl! i felt cheated when the guy a few seasons (years) back chose no one. But this would have been Jason’s best road to follow.
