Just needed to find the time and motivation to sit down and hash this thing out. First things first, if you follow me on Twitter or Facebook, you saw me mention last week that I got dressed up for Halloween for the first time in probably 20 years this past weekend. Good times. Happy Hour lasted till the wee hours of the morning. No, I didn&#8217;t go as Jake. I thought it was rather obvious who I went as, but I&#8217;d say 75% of the people who came up to me asked, &#8220;Are you Octodad?&#8221; Huh? Who the hell is Octodad? Once I pointed out the Bluetooth, the earrings (which you can&#8217;t see in the pics), the Ed Hardy shirt, the eight kids, and the lovely inscription on the back, they seemed to guess correctly.</p><p></p><p><b>More &#8220;Bachelor&#8221; News</b></p><p>So I&#8217;ve gotten this bit of info regarding a girl who was cast to be on this season with Jake.

From day one, I told everyone this isn&#8217;t what I thought happens, it&#8217;s what I know happens.

Jason was in studio on a Seattle radio station this morning promoting some Fathers Day event this weekend, and took the time to call me out during the interview. Very kind words he uses too. I believe he calls me a &#8220;miserable person&#8221;, a &#8220;storyteller&#8221;, and &#8220;full of BS&#8221;, among other things. Sweet. Glad I&#8217;ve made such an impression on him. Of course, he doesn&#8217;t mention me by name, but its rather obvious who he&#8217;s speaking about. I have the audio clip and will post it later tonight or tomorrow, along with my thoughts on the whole thing.</p><p>The funny thing is, I really haven&#8217;t mentioned Jason Mesnicks name since March 9th, that was the last post I made filed under &#8220;The Bachelor 13 &#8211; Jason&#8221; according to my archives. Have I referenced what happened during his season while writing about Jillian &#8230; <a

The official launch of the RealitySteve.com merchandise store. I want to first thank my best friend and webmaster Erick for the tireless work he&#8217;s put in on putting this thing together. I also want to thank our partners at TWENTYth for all the work they&#8217;ve done as well. This is something I&#8217;ve been wanting to do for a while now, and to see it become a reality is very cool. We want any and all feedback that you can give as this is still a work in progress.</p><p></p><p>Also, I want to thank two former &#8220;Bachelor&#8221; contestants, Lisa and Michele, for allowing me to use them as my models for the site. You&#8217;ll recognize Lisa from &#8220;Bachelor: Rome&#8221; where she received the first impression rose and made it to the final three before being unceremoniously dumped. Michele was from Brad Womacks season who unfortunately got sent home early due to, well, &#8220;falling down the stairs&#8221;. However, if you really want to know what happened, head back to the &#8220;Dr. &#8230; <a

So many peoples stories have changed, the latest on Melissa joining &#8220;Dancing with the Stars&#8221; tonight, and finally we&#8217;ve heard the last of Tatiana Del Toro (at least I hope so). Let&#8217;s put some final FINAL thoughts together on this &#8220;Bachelor&#8221; season and just move on. It&#8217;s over, it&#8217;s done with, everyone&#8217;s changing their stories now, it&#8217;s a farce. Like I told you it was back on Jan. 27th. Before we get to that though, a couple notes regarding the site.</p><p>Over the next two months, there will be changes to the site. Still working out the kinks, as you saw last week we tried a different format, but a lot of things are happening right now and I want to make sure this site looks good when we roll everything out. So there might be some days the look of it changes, and there might be some days that it&#8217;s down, but just know its all temporary. I hope to have everything finalized and done by May 18th, which is &#8230; <a

I told you Friday what was going to happen. Nothing surprising. All they&#8217;re doing is trying to make you hate Jason and Molly less and less than most people already do. Which is fine. I mean, that&#8217;s their couple after all now, so they got to make them look good however they can. Even if it meant embarrassing Melissa on national television. Like they care about that. Oh by the way, did you see the ratings from Monday night? Through the roof, as I thought they would be. 15 million watched the finale and 17 million watched the ATFR. Highest rated ATFR in the shows history, and highest rated finale since Guiney&#8217;s season. Thank you, thank you very much. I&#8217;ll take full credit for that. That&#8217;s why I never believed anyone who screamed after I ruined the ending on the You Tube videos, &#8220;That&#8217;s horrible! I&#8217;ll never watch this show again!&#8221; Please.

Doesn&#8217;t matter how I know, who told me, or how it all came to be. The bottom line was I ruined ABC&#8217;s surprise for the season and I&#8217;m glad I did. Especially after that abortion they showed us on television last night. I will be honest with you and say I&#8217;m sick to my stomach. I mean, the two hour finale was nothing. We all knew what was happening there. But that ATFR show was downright painful. I felt AWFUL for Melissa. Still do. The debate will rage on from this day forward what you want to believe about Jason and Molly&#8217;s performance. Was he put up to this? When did he know? When did Molly know and what did she know? That&#8217;s all up for each individual to decide. Judging by the message boards and my comments, seems like we&#8217;re running about 99% in favor of Jason being named King A-Hole sometime in &#8230; <a

So what I&#8217;m doing is transcribing the last 35 minutes we did so you can read my questions and her answers in a nutshell. I will have that up either later tonight or in tomorrow&#8217;s column.</p><p>Let&#8217;s start with another interview conducted this weekend by none other than, you guessed it, Hairbotique.com. Can&#8217;t say I&#8217;d ever think in a million years they&#8217;d want to talk to me, but hey, I enjoyed it. The author is a big fan of mine, they&#8217;re based here in the DFW metroplex, and she wanted to get my story out there. I think the one thing about this interview you&#8217;ll find different is its actually about me, not the news I broke. That&#8217;s been covered ad nauseum and I think you all know about what happens tonight. No, &#8230; <a

isPermaLink="false">http://realitysteve.com/blog/?p=121</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s what I know what happened coming from someone who was there:</p><p>-Jillian is announced as the next Bachelorette. -Melissa was not there. Chris Harrison had a written letter from Melissa that he read which stated she was fine, she&#8217;s moved on, and doesn&#8217;t regret anything about anything happened. -Showed the finale and ATFR 1 condensed to the audience into a 90 minute version, so it was basically a clip show of the two shows combined. Jason proposed to Melissa. Him crying on the balcony was after he had let Molly go, and before Melissa had arrived. Melissa obviously accepted the proposal. They leave NZ engaged. (Gee, I said that a month ago). -DeAnna actually does ask him to take her back, but he&#8217;s like, &#8220;Look loser, I&#8217;m in love with two other women.&#8221; So I&#8217;m sure she was put put up to that since she just had broken up with Jesse two weeks earlier. DeAnna admitted to choosing the &#8220;wildcard&#8221;, but said she should&#8217;ve picked him instead. Oh please. More B.S. Blah blah blah&#8230;.</p> &#8230; <a

isPermaLink="false">http://realitysteve.com/blog/?p=120</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>So I&#8217;m sorry to report, but the last 35 minutes of the Megan interview is gone. Not because ABC killed it, not because I thought I&#8217;d get in trouble for airing it, and not because Megan did anything wrong. Bottom line: When I stopped recording the interview, it was 1 hour and 28 minutes long. When I saved it, I thought it saved the full file. After making it an mp3 file and creating a link, it wasn&#8217;t til then that, for whatever reason, the file only contained 53 minutes. Honestly, I have no idea what happened. So here&#8217;s where we stand right now. I spoke with Megan and she said she&#8217;d be more than glad to re-record it. But with the weekend coming up, and the finale Monday, I&#8217;m thinking maybe when this is all said and done, we&#8217;ll just have Megan come on talk about everything that just happened. I just think after Tuesday, her talking about the WTA taping won&#8217;t be as significant, even though she had some good stuff (i.e. &#8211; &#8230; <a
