The Bachelor "After the Final Rose" Stunner: Jason Mesnick Dumps Melissa Rycroft For Molly Malaney!
In the show's previews throughout this season, The Bachelor host Chris Harrison has been promising viewers "the most shocking twist in Bachelor history."
Suffice it to say, he made good on the hype.
Despite proposing to Melissa Rycroft on the season finale that aired just moments ago, Jason Mesnick's engagement to the beautiful former cheerleader from Dallas, Tx., is apparently off after some unknown events took place in the past few months.
Turns out those scandalous Bachelor spoilers were more or less right.
The skinny: Six weeks have passed since the season finale was taped, but mere minutes for viewers. Jason tells Chris that it's not gonna work with Melissa, he's been thinking about Molly Malaney, and he's gonna dump Melissa on national TV.
Talk about a d!ck move. Oh, sorry, we mean "emotionally difficult."
Jason's news certainly did not go over well with Melissa, who calls Jason a bastard and makes completely valid points ... albeit ones that lose something when cameras pan to Chris next to her. She storms off, and Molly Malaney takes the stage.
Molly, who supposedly has no idea why she's there, and has not talked to him in six weeks, confides to Chris that despite his choosing Melissa in New Zealand, Jason is definitely still the man of her dreams. Convenient, and not at all staged.
Jason Mesnick returns to the stage and tells Molly how he just ended it with Melissa, then asks Molly on a date. She looks at Chris and stares blankly. This is beyond ridiculous and kind of depressing that a real network is airing it.
Molly agrees to take him back and "see where things go."
So, with another "After the Final Rose" special on tap tomorrow, we can only ask: What now? Are you upset by this turn of events? Comment below!

I only watched a follow up episode, but from what i understand he had to tell Molly on the show, because he was not permitted to contact her until the show completed airing-if he had waited, she would have started filming the bachelorette.
I think he did the right thing-Melissa is happy too, let's not forget. They both didn't have chemistry-not just him.

Jason is exactly like Luke Conley on More to Love, being sweet and wonderfull to the nice and caring women then gives them the boot and keeping the bitchy ones. The difference is that I expect things like that from Jason. Luke Conley I'm totally disgusted with. People can be such phonies.

I am thrilled that he has at last given Molly a second chance. I always thought that he may struggle with the fact that Melissa did not have a lot of depth of character, also not the brightest person on the block. Molly to me seemed to have more maturity and a lot more understanding something that someone of Jasons ability needs. Molly would also make a better mother for tye. Melissa a nice lady but a bit dizzy from my side of it all.

We have only just finshed the show over here in New Zealand, a bit behind.
While you may think Jason is a ass for what he did, Melissa was never the right person, it was ment to be Molly. At least he broke it off before they got married, it had to be a hard decision to make at least he made it, he made a mistake was able to own up to it and hopefully will live happily ever after with Molly. Get over it people at least he had the balls to own up to his mistake.
