The Official Bachelor Thread ~ Deanna comes back!

[robinb]

"It didn't work out, but she's an AMAZING girl and I wish her well".

"Molly: She's the BEST!"

 

[Justanopinion]

Did anyone else notice on Monday's show how many times they stated that Jason and Molly had not seen or talked to each other since NZ?

And when Molly walked out onto the stage, Jason said, "it' been a long time" and her response was "yes, it has"....almost sarcastic and inside jokeish.

Didn't watch it last night, so thanks to all for posting, especially the Kimmel link, too funny!

I think I am DONE with REALITY (UN-reality) TV for a while!

So Jillian is the next Bachelorette?

I wonder if they will pick lots of Canadian guys?!

I'm starting to think a PP is correct when they say they are wondering if ABC leaked the spoilers to create buzz. When Chris Harrison said to Molly that millions of people around the country are mad and have mixed emotions, she said that this has been an incredibly difficult few weeks for them and that her character and morals are being questioned. How could it be a few weeks that her morals and character have been questioned when this was taped before the finale and ATR1 even aired? Yes, I know that we all already knew what was going to happen, but I think this just points out even more how the whole thing is suspicious.

I just wonder how much they paid the audience last night to clap for Jason and Molly and not boo or throw rotten tomatoes at them?

I guess I am in the minority here but I always thought it was kinda cute when Melissa hugged Jason and did the leg wrapping. It was sort of her "thing" every time she greeted him.

I thought it was cute too.

I hope they do have some Canadian guys in there and hope they show more of Canada would be cool too.

I am done with all this Jason and Molly hype.

I think that breaking up with Melissa on national tv was wrong.

I think that Melissa knew something was going to happen. You could tell in the look on her face when she was walking in that she wasn't going to like what she was about to hear.

I don't think that anything is "wrong" with her. She's just had bad luck with guys. Sometimes it takes meeting a few frogs before you meet your prince.

I think that talking to Deanna might have had impact on Jason's decision to pick Melissa.

I think that if he chose Melissa because higher ups thought it would bring in more ratings, then he is a jerk, forget what his contract said.

I think that no matter what they say, Molly did know what was coming and was just biding her time until Jason could go public with his vows of love for her.

I wish Jillian was not the new Bachelorette. I wish it were someone that I didn't know. I like her but I'm not sure if I want to watch her.

When Jason said that Molly had become his best friend, I thought "and what was Jillian? Sliced cheese?".

Have you seen that Access Hollywood has the original emails between Melissa and Jason after the first ATFR? These were supposedly the ones leaked that caused all the spoilers.

Here's the article and there's a link to the emails in it.

She calls him on lying about talking to Molly and he doesn't deny it.

 

[piglet too]

How do we know those are real? I for one do not have any of my close friend's, much less my husband, e-mails listed with their whole name.

Well, they've supposedly been authenticated. The only reason *I* think they're real is that Reality Steve got them over a month ago, before anyone knew what had happened with the show. They were the basis for his big spoiler.

 

[Simba's Mom]

I'm as angry at Molly (well, almost) as Jason. To think she'd want a relationship or anything (even that cup of coffee) right after the guy broke up with someone he was engaged to and on national TV. She should have said "you're so screwed up right now, you need some time alone to sort out your feelings. After a month with NO girl friend, then come talk to me." I can't believe she accepted him at all so soon. Yes, I also was wondering what about Ty's emotions. Suddenly there's no mention of him, at least that I've heard.

 

[Tuffcookie]

If this was all planned by ABC, I wonder if they would take the blame if, God forbid, anyone commited suicide after the show ended.

I couldn't be angry at someone for reacting honestly to their feelings. Relationships aren't like that - Sometimes is seems like it would be perfect if you had just the right line/atmosphere/etc. like out of a classic movie scene, but that is rarely real life. She was shocked and elated that Jason, the man that she still had very deep feelings for, still had those same feelings for her - Why should she throw that away just for a few seconds of potential satisfaction. She didn't seem angry with him.
Regarding Melissa - Obviously she knew things were not going well at all with Jason after New Zealand. She was never blindsided. She chose to live her life exposed to the entire world when she signed up for the show.

Melissa is on Ellen this am. Melissa said that things WERE different after they got back to real life, and they did break up prior to having to break up on tv. But she had asked Jason why, and he wouldn't say. That's why she was so hurt/angry, the Molly thing. They're going to talk about the emails next.
ETA: Melissa verifies the emails are real, that she needed closure to tell Jason why she was so mad, that she understood the break up but him lying to her about Molly truly hurt her.

Yay, Melissa is now with someone she is happy with, glad for her!

Teaser for Ellen tomorrow w/ Jason & Molly is that Ellen is angry over the way they handled things.
I've got to PVR that one.

 

[~disneydiva~]

Grrr....I forgot to set it to record!! Thanks for the update!

 

[SomePixiedust]

Melissa seems happy and I'm glad she's with someone new...for anyone who didn't see Ellen, shes with someone she's known for 2 years and has been supportive of her....funny his name is Ty . And good for her she admitted that the emails were real and that she initiated it and that is was a mistake. Makes her look more like the better person....at least she's fessing up to her mistakes

She said that she outright asked Jason if Molly was involved and that he said no...that's why she was so mad, not because of the breakup, but the lie. It will be interesting to see "them" tomorrow. I have a feeling Jason won't say much and they will continue to deny contact before the ATR taping. Many people have speculated that maybe Melissa is a little "off" because of the way Jason portrays the reason for the breakup....I'm starting to think that was his intention, that people would think she is crazy and he's taking the high road by not saying anything...JMHO.

 

[DearDaisyinDurham]

I had forgotten too, it's funny that's when I turned on the show, Ellen was introducing Melissa.

 

[~disneydiva~]

I can't believe I forgot...for some reason I thought she was going to be on tomorrow.
