The Official Bachelor Thread ~ Deanna comes back!

[Robinrs]

HI
Do you think Jason let Jillian go last night because he thought that Molly would be able to handle being number 2 better than Jillian would?

Remember Molly's father telling her she's a winner and if she doesn't win, to NOT cry in the limo!

Perhaps Jason is taking that little bit of information to heart and chose to get rid of Jillian last night, so it wouldn't hurt her as much.

I thought the same thing since she's dealt with her Mom's depression and stuff like that. I don't even think Molly will stop smiling he threw her to the lions so SURE she's better to go off in the limo in the finale.

My dream for the ATFR is for Jason and Melissa to get married right there and then with there families and friends there.

That's exactly what my DH thinks is going to happen. He also thinks that Jason is a jerk for letting Stephanie and then Jillian go.

It occurred to me last night that Jason wants someone who is weak and needy. He doesn't seem interested in strong independant women. I think he sees himself as a "knight in shining armour"--the guy who shows up and saves the day for the poor princess. That's all fine and good, but what happens when she grows up, gains some self confidence, and becomes stronger and more independant?

Don't get me wrong, Jason seems like a really nice guy and I really like him. I think he's the best "bachelor" so far. I just think he might be setting himself up for being hurt again. Unless he can find a woman who is perpetually needy, that is.

Well whoever he choose he's with and happy and that's what I'm finding in interviews.

I'm even trying to find out the next season Bachorlette and can't find anything.

I hope it's Stephanie.

I've seen some pictures from Women Tell All, I kind of didn't recognize some of the girls at first glance

I have seen pics as well did Jillian look prego to you? I wonder if she with a new man and is expecting

She does look like she gained weight but if she is dating someone it's been done very quietly because they apparently aren't allowed to date while under contract.

I would love for Stephanie to be the next bachelorette. Is many men going wanna be stepdads? That my own negative thought about that

 

[inaminute]

Why not?

Heck, they found 30 women willing to be stepmothers. I don't think it would be too difficult to find 30 men. My own DH would probably volunteer if I weren't in the picture. He had a tiny bit of a crush on Stephanie.

 

[Deb & Bill]

Reality Steve also said something like this:

It's not a love story. Could that mean he really is into a friendship ala Jillian?

 

[MaryAnnDVC]

Maybe he picks one, dates her for a couple of months and then decides he should've picked a different one and THAT'S what gets revealed on the "intimate After the Rose" thingie.

Well, they can't really "date" ATFR, but they do get them together a few times. I do wonder tho, if after he chooses someone, that's when he and Deanna talk, and it comes out about his doubts regarding who he chose. or despair about who he didn't.

Speaking of that, it really shows the quality of the women that Jason has picked for the final 4-5 that none of them have badmouthed him when they get in the car. They've all been gracious and respectful.

THAT hasn't happened in past seasons.

Definitely. It's refreshing to see women behaving like ladies. Some of the past seasons have really given women a bad name.

Or maybe Chris wont show up to point out there is only one rose and no one will be able to move forward.

I really don't see that as strange I talk to my parents several times a week. My friends don't know them or vice versa. Do adults bring there friends home to meet there parents

I agree.

I heard a WHOLE other reason for the closed set. I can post it in white BUT I still think you can see it even when it's in white!

Come on! Cough it up. The white type is fine...it's used all the time.

Idunno you are problary right. Just doesn't seem like men would jump at being parent like girls would

I took that as meaning it's going to be Molly with Melissa you see the love bewteen them. JMOP

With that in mind, then Melissa is the best choice. She seems to be the most "needy" in the group.

 

[ter-moo]

Maybe Jason runs off with Chris Harrison! THAT would be the MOST dramatic ending EVER.

 

[MaryAnnDVC]

I don't see Melissa as being needy. She may not be hugely independent as perhaps Jillian, but I just see that as being different, not better or worse. And like everything else in relationships, if that's what Jason finds more appealing, then that's what's going to work for him in a relationship. "Strong and independent" isn't the do all end all for what makes a woman a good person or a good partner. And just because two people are "good people" it doesn't mean that translates into a good relationship with each other; like in divorces, it seems that everyone wants to place blame on one person...that someone was "right" and someone was "wrong"...but maybe they're just different. Jason needs what's right for Jason, and if what he's drawn to is someone who's a little less independent then someone else, then that's who he should choose.

I agree this is Jason show. I hope he picks someone who makes him happy that all that matters!!! He deserves to be happy!!

 

[WDWRocksMySocks]

I think he winds up w/ Melissa. I'm wondering if he doesn't propose b/c he wants to meet her family and then he proposes at the ATFR show. That would still not warrant the "most dramatic" headlines, but when does it ever meet our expectations?

 

[jpaxton1118]

I agree that he picks Melissa but I think he will also only asking her if he meets her parents. I think that the final show is private is because her parents agreed if there was not anyone else there.
