I have never been so disappointed in a show as I was last night. I believe if Jason had chose Molly, he would have been thinkng of Melissa and we would have seen Molly get hurt. I was dissappointed last season also, so I am DONE. I will not watch the show anymore. I wish Melissa the best. I am near Dallas and wish I had a relative I could match her up with. I would love to have her in our family. God bless you Melissa.

The only thing i want to say is: this show, like most others is pure crap. Everything is staged, and if any of you recorded last night`s show u can see the proof. When Melissa got back in the limo, after being dumped by Jason, you can clearly see a monitor with text on it, inside the car. Sure enough, Melissa is looking in that direction, reading the script while "crying".

At least wait til the show is done airing before you kiss Molly. Give some respect to Melissa, the woman you almost married, and the woman you just DUMPED!!
On a lighter note, Jason had to follow his heart, it wouldn't have been fair to Melissa because he's not with her 100%. Melissa deserves better.

Well said Linda...Be true to your heart Jason...Melissa knew something was up, and he could not tell her due to the contract. That I agree sucks, but you know if any of us were in his shoes, you would not want to be with someone you do not love. Hang on Jason you did the right thing, Melissa, would not wanted you to to lead her on.

I cannot believe that everyone is slaughtering Jason. I'll freely admit that he should have found a better way to talk to Melissa about this whole thing, but I had a bad feeling about that girl from the beginning. She has ALREADY been on a reality show. I do not think that she was just a poor exploided women in all of this. She signed up for all of this. She knew going into the after the rose that things were not right and she was just trying to gain sympathy with her handing back the ring crap. She probably is just fishing for yet ANOTHER reality show with her as the bachelorette. I have had a feeling that she is a liar from the get go. Who is super close to there family and yet they don't want to be involved in any of this? Her friends haven't even met her family! There is something up, but everyone is jumping on the poor Melissa train. Mark my words this will not be the end of her. She will ride this one out for all she can get.

How could Molly think so little of herself that she accepts Jason's bad behavior? It's truly insulting that ABC thinks its viewers will just swallow everything they put on this show. Molly should dump Jason and run away with Melissa.

March 3rd, 2009 6:55 PM
What a disappointment! I know "contracts are contracts" but, even though Jason still had "feelings" for Molly, he should have contacted Molly AFTER the "dumping" issue. He was rude to Melissa and her family on public television. Others have had mis-matches but this public display of hatred was unnecessary - as was Melissa's swearting under her breath. You could certainly read her lips. Regardless of shock and hurt, this showed HER real immaturity.
Momma told Jason that Molly was career-minded, not ready to care for and "mother" his son from another nixed relationship. this little boy must be sooooooo confused!
I don't think Jason could find happiness if he fell into a bucketful of happiness. I think he will always "want" what's not his to have. I hope I'm wrong but he has so much for which to be thankful.

I know a lot of people here are upset with the results of last night's show. From what I understood Jason to say, Melissa changed immediately after she was declared the winner. Jason tried to work it out, but could not. If what he saw was the Melissa that my wife and I saw early on, then I can understand why he let her go. To us, Melissa is a lot like Naomi - not ready to settle down, very insecure, possessive, and without much depth. We saw Melissa more like Jason's daughter than his wife. Also, the situation with her family was a major RED flag. There was something there that wasn't adding up.
The fact that Jason even chose her to begin with and rejected ladies like Stephanie and Jillian does not tell me that he is a "jerk" so much as it tells me that he has an incredible lack of judgment. This is why he has been in the same situation with women a long time now.
We definitely believed that Molly was better grounded and more stable than Melissa. The way that Molly (an

I WILL NEVER WATCH THIS SHOW AGAIN! JASON, YOUR A POOR EXCUSE FOR A MAN, IN FACT A REAL MAN WOULDNT DO THAT DO A WOMAN! IF YOU FELT THAT WAy, YOU SHOULD HAVE JUST BROKE UP WITH MELISSA AND STAYED SINGLE , NOT JUMP FROM ONE BED TO ANOTHER..YOUR A PUKE AND I HOPE TY NEVER HEARS ABOUT THIS WHEN HE GETS OLDER AND MOLLY UNREAL, SLOPPY SECONDS,YOU DIDNT EVEN SHOW FEELINGS TILL THE END OF SHOW, JUST SKIN AND SKANKY MOVES THAT ABC SHOULDNT ALLOWED TO BROADCAST.. MORE FOR PLAYBOY CHANNEL.. HOW COULD YOU KISS HIM RIGHT AFTER HE DUMPED HER ON NATIONAL TV. DOESNT SAY MUCH FOR YOUR CHARACTER AS A PERSON. I DONT KNOW HOW ANYONE COULD EVER STICK UP FOR JASON, WHAT HE DID WAS VERY MEAN AND DISRESPECTFUL. ITS ONE THING NOT TO BE HAPPY WITH A DATE, BUT EXPECT TO GET ANOTHER BAIT THE SAME NIGHT.. IT WONT LAST. DE ANNA, KEEP WAITING, YOU WILL GET YOUR MAN IN A FEW WEEKS AS SOON AS MOLLY REALIZES THE RESPONSIBILTYS OF A STEPMOM ROLE..

I thought that creep Brad was a jerk a season or two ago, telling those girls how much he cared for them & leading them on, then to dump them at the end. But Jason takes the cake, he sucks, I never did like him anyway, I could tell he was a jerkoff. This show is going to the dogs. Maybe they will show the duky on Deanna & the snowboarder.
Molly
March 3rd, 2009 6:12 PM
Wow... I think all you guys are ridiculous. It seems like some of you forgot this is tv. Seriously ladies half the stuff that happens on this show doesn't happen in real life. Normal couples don't just go from country to country, ride on blimps, and have $1000 dates every date. Jason is there for love and if he didn't find it he didn't find it. I don't see you bashing Deanna, she came back because she made the wrong decision. You know you will all watch next season. Nice Job producers, you got people talking that's what makes a good show.

March 3rd, 2009 6:12 PM
Jason clearly thinks that "following your heart" and being "true to yourself" means doing whatever that particular day's feelings tell you to do. Great relationships take a lot more than that. This show has a fatal flaw - infidelity is not the path to fidelity. In other words, why would a man who spends week involved with multiple women expect that his feelings for all but one of them would disappear overnight? Melissa is better off. Being married to someone that lives only by their feelings would be miserable.

I have watched these shows since the beginning and after last night I am through. What Jason did in front of national TV regardless of some dumb contract is reprehensible! He should be ashamed. And what kind of father lets his son think he has found a new mother and then dumps her because he has sex on his mind with Molly!!Trash TV at its finest.

What I cannot swallow is how Jason turned right around and made overly-dramatic comments to Molly right after he had renigged on the same exact comments moments earlier with Melissa. Words like "forever is with you" that grab the heart - words that later did not mean "forever". He did not learn from his mistake. It's one thing to make a mistake and then own up to it. But he's not had life in the real world with Molly yet either - why start off on the wrong foot again by offering too much "future". At first, he said "let's see what happens" type talk, but toward the end, he was right back with the same type of stuff that broke Melissa's heart. Poor thing, she was exactly, exactly right!! He made a commitment and then, didn't even give it a chance. People make promises they don't keep. As much criticism as Brad got, I always thought he did the right thing. No one can force you, tv show or not, to propose to someone - a very serious life event that should be special - not a lie.

I just cannot get over the nerve of this guy, he went from dumping one girl on national television to kissing another within 5 minutes! Seriously?! He had us all fooled into thinking he was some kind of gentleman...now we know the truth! And it's obvious he had been talking to Molly, she is SUCH a bad actress. What a fake b*#@!

The proof will be in the pudding. If Melissa comes back for her own show, it'll really show she wasn't that into Jason after all.
Get REAL...there IS NO respect for anyone who even signs a contract like that...following your heart or not. Then there's the tv network. SHAME ON YOU! Friggin bunch of Jack Holes...that includes you too Jason. I will not watch that show ever again. I'm done, and you suck. Your writers got greedy, and the Producers had to dig deep into the slime pit to allow this...all for ratings. Mark my words, your next bachelorette will be Melissa...they just want the ratings...it's all about the drama. You nasty people. AND CHRIS..I heard you on a local radio station today defending the show and insisting it was not fake or 'planned'. Just how do you live with yourself? Of course it was fake..word of mouth is your best advertising...and in this case will work against you. STOP WATCHING THIS STUPID SHOW SO IT DIES!

What is wrong with you people? Melissa was obviously hiding her family (you really believed they didn't like the 'publicness' of it all??!)probably because they are toothless carnies living in squalor and didn't match her new desirable identity as ex-Dallas Cowboy cheerleader and serial "dumpee". Obviously there were plenty of other guys who saw her true colors and ran for the hills. Jason was very diplomatic in being willing to take all the heat over this, when I'll bet the bank Melissa has many skeletons in her closet and a probable psychological disorder to boot (does Fatal Attraction ring a bell?). Jason was SMART to dump her. I don't think it will last with Molly, either, but not because of having a hillbilly family or manic-depressive fame-seeking tendencies like Melissa. That phony "Ah-choo" joke was pathetic. Now Trista and Ryan can continue milking ABC for more millions and sell every new development in their lives. And I'll be watching every episode--I LOVE IT!
