Default The Bachelor

Has anyone followed this season? Is anyone watching it right now. It is the final episode.

What is wrong with him? That is horrible! What if she says yes...will he change his mind again?

And what did he tell his son?


I am betting she goes with him!

After thought: I should have bet money! So ODD!!

I watched it the whole season; loved every episode. I watch very little tv, and especially very little 'reality' tv, but the Bachelor was great. The weird thing was, I picked out Melissa from the beginning as being who he would pick, and my fiance picked out Molly. (Melissa was his final 'pick' to whom he proposed - but then, six weeks later, in 'After the Rose' he reniged and broke up with Melissa, and is now working on reconciling with Molly (who had been his 'second best' selection at the end of the season). I hope that Melissa will be the next on The Bachelorette. I also think it would be great if they did a 'Villagers' version of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. Why not!

The Bachelor has been too scripted and seems like it's all boilerplate verbage. This last one turned out to be a real duzie. I first thought he was so nice and in the end he turned out to be the biggest CAD!! Betcha that he won't last with Molly either.

It seems he's looking for exposure to an acting career as he's on a late night show (think Jimmy Kimmel) and a morning news show and getting all kinds of "press" from his antics.

Interesting that it's never been mentioned as to what his career is or his reason for his divorce. Ahhh, there's more than meets the eye here.

I hope that Melissa will be the next batchlorette; she's a real cutie and deserves more than always being the "dumpee."

Jason is like a little boy...I kind of wish Melissa would have smacked him a good one on the way out. Molly would be a fool to stay with him...she deserves a nice, stable, decisive MAN.

I hope that Jillian is the next Bachelorette. She was really cool. If I were Melissa, I wouldn't want anything to do with that TV show ever again. They exploited her in every way possible.

I still have thoughts that the entire thing was staged at the end...so they could have a "first" and build up some huge momentum for Melissa to be the next one.

I am done with Jason...that guy needs help.

Now we are watching MORE of this craziness! Molly is crazy for taking him back....but I guess she thinks she is in love too....

I agree with whomever said Melissa should walk away from that show for good. I hope she is not going to be the Bachelorette.

I can't stand this show....never have liked it....but I always end up watching the last two episodes every season.



What is wrong with me! Someone must stop this madness!

I agree with Barb's comments. I really don't like this show, but I have a wretched fascination with it and usually end up watching it toward the end of the season.

Jillian is the next Bachelorette and seems like a very likeable girl. Melissa refused to participate in tonight's show. Good for her.

I agree with BN .... I also wish Melissa had smacked Jason on the way out! How could anyone ever trust a self-centered player like Jason?

Default Jason's Ex-Wife

Wondered if and what Jason's ex-wife is all about. I happened to be channel surfing on tv tonight and caught the tail end of a clip where it showed his ex and heard her say that he could never make up his mind. Hmmmm, wonder if we'll hear more from her.

Also wonder if Melissa's parents had anything to do with their breakup. That issue was fairly underplayed.

Oh well, without a doubt, you will be able to read all about their future while you're waiting in line to pay for your groceries where all the "rag" newspapers and magazines will feature them in due time.

Yes, wouldn't it be interesting to hear the perspective from Jason's X!

Barb, I agree we'll be able to read all about Jason and Molly in the "rags". She is moving to Seattle to be with him. In 6 months to a year, we'll be reading about their break up.

I think he is one self-centered dude.

Default Could the ending have been scripted???

The Bachelor has been too scripted and seems like it's all boilerplate verbage.
I think that Barb said it all.....


The show ends pretty much the same way each year and maybe the show needed a change for the ratings.....Did anyone ever think of that?

Just my opinion !!!
