DOR and Mizchizazz, I think you both are on the right track. I loved Jillian. She has class. He needs to go after her. In watching, she was a perfect fit from an outsiders perspective by what we could see. Molly is cold and there is something not so honest, conniving if you will. She may not be, but this is noted from a womans intuition. Jason would not be the first nice guy to be taken in by a con. Melissa is young, sweet, cute but stary eyed. I cannot imagine any man getting so choked up as Jason did when he let Jillian go unless he had some serious doubts. Molly had asked him was he not scared of picking the wrong person. He had strong feelings for all 3 women, and dumping one or the other was a product of show needing a conclusion. In real life, dating for a lot longer period of time is what would have happened. I do not think ABC did any of this for the ratings, but when whatever this is fell into their laps, they did not pass up the opportunity to raise ratings and they are trying to do it with dignity and respect. As I said in a previous comment, Molly may be pregnant, she did have an overnight with Jason in the early part of the show. I want to believe Jason is the best bachelor ever (he is definitely sensitive, and I think that is sincere) so I am hoping for the best scenario in regard to his role in this. In my opinion, that would be going after Jillian. That ring that Spoiler spoke about does exist, but on my DVR (slow motion), it is on the index finger not the pinky and it is seen clearly. And from a distance, his choice seems be a little shorter than Melissa's height.
I believe Deanna is nothing but a friend.

I think there will be 2 proposals, 1 to Melissa, then at the 2nd after the rose, 1 to Jillian. Comments such as "I never expected it to turn out this way" and while with Jillian the comment "This is where it all began" and the weird music in the hot tub (unlike other Bachelor music) lead me to believe Jillian will be back.
Or perhaps Molly is the single mom (to be...) the rumors speak about? It will be interesting. I wish all the parties involved the best. It takes a lot to put feelings and reputation on the line this way on national TV. It shows confidence and strength once involved in the unexpected.
Sorry Reality Steve, there is no conspiracy.

Hi there if Jason does what Steve said then he no better than Brad Womack and Andy a jerk. Molly look like his ex-wife. If that the case he should have stayed with his ex I hope he not dumb and do this this will make me not want to watch the bachelor or the bachelorette anymore I will tape but I want believe nor in the show . So Jason hope you don't hurt Melissa like that for remember you were hurt like that before by DeAnna Pappas. think about what you are doing to others feelings.

WOW - if any of this has an ounce of truth, what a waste of another season! The hand with the ring is definitely Melissa, and on her 'ring' finger, you can tell by the nails. Molly is very immature and seems to say only what Jason wants to hear. Nothing Molly says seems genuine. As for people mentioning a pregnancy - now THAT would make for great TV! In the previews for tonight's Tell All, Chris does ask 'What happened in the tent with Molly'? I guess we'll have to wait and see the conclusion next week and we'll find out if any of this is true?!?!?!

This whole theory crap has ruined this process for me. I looked forward to watching the show every week. It's the joke around my house, step away from the TV, JASON'S on.. I don't even want to finish the season...Thanks for ruining it for me.

February 23rd, 2009 7:31 PM
Has anyone considered that Melissa may not accept the proposal, or changes her mind and that Jason is not the culprit here, but the victim? Perhaps Jason is really the sweet guy he appears to be? He has not had much luck in the "Love" department. This reality guy is way off base with his ramblings.

February 23rd, 2009 9:09 PM
If this is true I'm finished with ABC's Bachelor & Bachelorette shows. This is turning out to be the same trashy, tacky, no class love shows they air on VH1.
O Jeeze Says:
February 23rd, 2009 9:38 PM
If this is true then I am completely put out with the entire Bachelor production team, Jason, Molly and anyone else who is involved. The fact that Jason willingly entered this with a CHILD involved, therefore expoliting his young son to garner the "awe" factor from America only reinforces the skepticism that he did actually do such a horrible thing. And, if this rumor is true, and Molly and Jason really did date behind Melissa's back, then you have to wonder what kind of people Molly and Jason truly are. Best of luck to Molly if she does "win" the Bachelor...if he's going to sneak around with you while engaged to another girl, I can only hope you trust him enough to not do the same to you. His first wive may just have been the smartest lady in this whole story. Wonder who Ty will call Mommy next year?!

gina Says:
February 23rd, 2009 10:52 PM
I think he is stupid for dumping Jillian which was clearly the right choice for him. Melissa is way too immature and Molly looks like a slut with skeletons in her closet. First with Melissa, you sign up to be on the bachelor and your parents don't want the home town date recorded, yet you claim to be sooo close with them??? You know what you are getting into, and then this? C'mon....something is seriously wrong with that picture. And Molly........she looks like the type to be a coniving bitch that the only thing that is important to her is winning. I don't know what Jason sees in either one of these 2, I am hoping all of these rumors are just that...........and he goes back to Jillian. Molly only wears her hair the same way everytime you see her...in a ponytail and has absolutely no style. Jillian has wit, is charming, stylish and down to earth. Her family was also the most normal out of the 4. And if he does dump Melissa to be with Molly........I cannot believe I actually felt sorry for this loser. But I know it will come around to bite him in the ass......it always does. That's the law of the universe.

If this is true, the show has lost a serious fan. I can not believe people can be so hurtful and twisted. I really hope Melissa gets a chance to kick Jason in the "ovaries"!
okay.. i am totally disguisted with jason and abc. i hope to God they nor him would mess with someones real feelings like that. you have to have no heart to be able to do that to someone. i really do believe this is true but i hope to God its not. if it is tho i am done watching this show and ive never missed a season. that is crap you do not do that to someone. THATS COLDHEARTED. i will think totally diff of jason and abc. poor melissa, be glad jillian!
Faith Says:
February 24th, 2009 1:26 AM
I don't believe this theory. I think the reason for no audience at the AFR is to provide privacy for Melissa's parents. I think they brink the parents in to give their blessing. ABC is doing this for Melissa and Jason, unusual circumstances from ever before. Also allows them to weave all kinds of theories with two After the Final Rose episodes.
There is no way that Jason could have faked the way he looked at Melissa compared to the way he looked at Molly. You can see it all over his face. I do not think we would jilt Melissa and date Molly after the show. He was not happy that Deanna let him get down on one knee and start proposing. That really upset him. It's not in him to humiliate someone during this process.
Hope I'm right! I think I am. It makes perfect sense.

I understand that some of this stuff is staged but to go out of the way to hurt someone is just wrong. I have already sent ABC a piece of my mind. I think everyone should to let them know how they are feeling. Its wrong to go out of the way to exploit a human being.
PJ Says:
February 24th, 2009 11:06 AM
Come on people! ABC is not going to deliberately make a villian out of any of these people.
Have none of you ever realized you were dating the wrong person? When that happens, the right thing to do is to end it. I sure wouldn't want someone to stay with me, if they really preferred someone else. THAT would be cruel.
And I don't get why everyone thinks DeAnna is so evil. She picked the guy she thought she wanted, and it didn't work out. So what? They weren't married and didn't have children. It happens. Doesn't mean anyone had some ulterior motive.
isis Says:

Very interesting theory - I only disagree that Melissa was unaware of ABC's scheme to keep us watching! How do we know that she was not part of it and paid? A reason maybe that we didn't meet the family - were her friends real? Maybe more than Jason's love, she wants to be an actress and here is her chance! I doubt that ABC would let Jason leave with the reputation as a jerk. Ratings are high and America is loving Jason.

Gives us a reason to stop hating Mondays, am I right? :D

This kind of ending is not what we are watching for. I have lost total respect for the show if this is the true ending. Why would Molly want to be second best?? I think she is hoping for her own show of Bachelorette. We need to see Melissa/Jillian dual show as the next one. The show portrays Jason as a sweet guy but after all of this now we know why his first wife left his @ss.
Ronda Thomas Says:

I don't know what to believe, but what I do know is Jason felt something for Jillian. They had awesome chemistry together...and chemistry is not something that you can plan, either you have it or you don't. I think he's drawn to the other two girls Melissa for her looks and Molly for her fun-loving personality and her green eyes. If I were choosing for him I would go get Jillian. If he's sincere, then Molly would be my second choice.
Luci Says:
