Holy Crappola Batman!

Molly has me confused. She answered Chris' questions about "would you take him back?" like she knew something was coming. Then when Jason told her he did want her back she looked as shocked as could be.

She really does love him, or she is incredibly stoopid.

Melissa - looks like she has been vomiting - like bulimia. Her face was really round and her body was not.

She is right - something happened - he is a coward to not do the work to discover what happened.

I read somewhere this switcheroo was a setup for ratings. Maybe I read it here. Or Us Magazine.

I am not a shrink nor do I play one on TV, but I am one here.

Jason's problem can be defined in one word---commitment.

The Molly thing will not work. Nor will the next girl he finds. Same with the next one.

Pea - this whole thing was scripted out weeks ago. If you do a google on Reality Steve, he has been posting all along about the show, and the set up. His source advised that Jason told producers shortly after the ring ceremony, that he made a mistake and wanted to break up with Mel.

They all decided to make a big production of it, and thus the "most shocking After the Rose Ever"

Source indicated that Molly and Jason were already back seeing each other, without Mel knowing. The only one who was surprised by events last night was Mel.

Molly was a pretty good actress if that is true.

It annoys me that it might be true.

Here's my take: I think he's a conflicted dude. I think it's incredibly stoopid to think you can find your love-of-a-lifetime in a pre-packaged television show that has no basis in reality. I think he absolutely did the right thing breaking up with Melissa when he realized he'd made a mistake, and had stronger feelings for Molly. A lot of people are disgusted that he did it 'on national tv.' First, hello, the whole thing was on tv. Second, he was under contract, and obligated to officially break up for the cameras. (I have to laugh at the peeps who say "What an ass, have some class and ignore the contract" Um, how is violating a contract showing class??) Anyone who believes Melissa was blindsided by the breakup at the filming of ATFR is kidding themselves. She knew exactly what was up. She was naturally hurt, and she was pissed off because she was contractually obligated to sit there and take it, more or less. But she knew exactly what was coming. (and I"d have kept the ring, unless that was covered in the contract, as well) As for him 'not fighting for' the relationship, why should he, if he feels it's wrong? Should he have wasted more of her time and energies, as well as his own, prolonged her exposure to his son, etc., when he felt is was wrong? I don't think so. I don't believe Molly knew what was going to happen, but I'm pretty sure she suspected something was up. This is the first time there was no audience for ATFR, and she had to have seen some of the speculation, leaks, whatever. Chris was about as subtle as a trainwreck with his brief interview with her before Jason came out. (What if he's changed his mind...?) etc. I don't think the 'whole thing' was scripted for ratings. I think he discovered almost immediately after the proposal that he'd made a mistake, told the producers, and they, of course, milked it for all they could. Do I think MOlly and Jason will 'make it'? Who knows? I think they are a better match, but the whole concept of the show is such a recipe for failure. I mean, really, what are the chances that out of any group of 25, the perfect match is going to happen? It's hardly surprising only one relationship on how-ever-many seasons has 'taken'. (so far) A few weeks ago, on the Women Tell All, (I was distracted, so missed most of it) it seemed like some bachelorettes have hooked up with bachelors from other seasons, and I think that's great. I think if you go on a show like this to meet your soulmate, it's okay. Just realize your soulmate might not be "THE" bachelor. Maybe it'll be a production guy, camera man, or one of his buddies. Widening the pool of prospective mates is never a bad thing. Falling in love with the 'star' in the first week or two of filming - not a good idea.

Sounds like I was right not to watch this version. I have tuned in to the later stages in the past, but somehow skipped it this time.

I decided after that guy didn't chose anyone, that I didn't want to invest time in it.

I sort of view the whole matchmaking part of this closer to an arranged marriage. We have several Indian people here who are happily married who went through that process. Did they marry their soulmate? I don't know. But they married a spouse for life. For some that is okay.

One young lady I eat lunch with regularly is going to go that route. Her parents have started the process. She said she has looked around a lot herself and hasn't found the guy and she is approaching 30 which is when she wanted to get married. So she is actively participating in the process with her parents.

I would have more respect for the process if, at the end, (and one or two have done this) the Bachelor(ette) said, okay, you are the one. Let's see where we go with this once the cameras are off. No promises, no engagement.

Different strokes...

I am willing to bet that Melissa was different after the cameras were not there and the fabu dates stopped and life fell in on them.

Who wouldn't be?

Molly was her Jesse - he didn't want to be Deanna. He forgot he is not.

There is a Part 2 of After the Final Rose on tonite. 10pm here...

What more can we possible be shocked with? I dunno. But I'll be watching.
