Tracie in Ontario and Fantabulo you appear to be the only ones with some reason, wait that's not true there are a few others but you guys are truly in the minority. There are alot of people that don't realize this is reality (sic) TV and is for ENTERTAINMENT purposes, ask yourself were you entertained? did the show allow you to take your mind off of your day to day lives? if the answer to either of these is YES then ABC was successful.
By the way, although I only know him from the TV shows and not in real life Jason appears to me like a good guy that had to make a very hard decision and in the 6 weeks that Jason and Melissa had to discuss their relationship without camera crews in their faces perhaps some real reality set in and things just weren't quite up to snuff. Therefore he changed his mind and went with Molly his choice c'est la vie.

IT MADE ME ALMOST DAM NEAR CRY FOR HAPPINESS FOR MELLISA AND JASON AND HIS SON AND THEN SUCH AN INCREDIBLE SADDNES FOR MELLISA AND I AM JUST SO LET DOWN. ALL OF US THAT WATCHED AND BELEIVED ARE THE FOOLS, WE HAVE BEEN FOOLED BY JASON AND ABC AND IN THE END MOLLY DEFINELTY SEEMED SHE KNEW.

3 hours tonight to be disgusted. Jason broke the hearts of many tonight with his behavior. Shame on him to hurt Melissa on national TV. I thought better on him in the beginning and now feel sorry for Tye. Jason needs 5 years without dating in order to grow up. I know ABC sets us up every season and I refuse to watch ever again. promise.

shame on a b c for this disgusting ending to this show and as for jason, hes nothing but a loser, this is my last time wasting my time watching the bachelor. run , molly and melissa and never look back.
Bachelor is AWESOME Says:
March 3rd, 2009 12:23 AM
This show is awesome.
It was completely staged for ratings. Sorry Melissa, they used you. Complete crap.
Jason you are a MORON. No wonder you never have a lasting relationship.
Guessing the SEX with Melissa was not as good as it was with Bug eyes , Molly....
Melissa will be alright, God Bless you Mellissa.

i cant belive this show, i have been a fan every season and this is the last time i watch this, i cant belive the way he acted to melissa and not giving her enough respect to do it ,other then on national tv.. im sorry but if he could do it to melissa he will probally do it to molly too,when things get difficult or change for them.i think its sad that molly acts so desperate .i think she should have enough respect for melissa to take it else were and not on tv where she will have to see it.it makes me sick to even wonder how melissa feels, she is one absoultley beautiful girl and u know what jason doesnt even deserve her...i hope jason relize he is a bastered and he deserves all the bashing that people are going to give him,he did it to his self.....

I echo the same sentiments as 99% of the comments thus far. I absolutely LOVED Jason throughout the season, but what he did was totally unjustified. I feel so bad for Melissa! But she's better off without him anyways.
cindy Says:
March 3rd, 2009 12:25 AM
Well, I guess ABC got what they wanted. Look at all of you talking up a storm. Can anyone ever believe that anyone on this show can really know someone else well enough after 6 weeks to marry them? Get real.
M Says:
March 3rd, 2009 12:26 AM
NO THAT IS NOT TRUE. JASON CHANGED RIGHT AFTER THE ENGAGEMENT. HE DIDN'T FEEL THE RUSH ANYMORE AND WASN'T ON TV. I THINK HE A GUY WHO'S A DRAMA QUEEN. INSTEAD OF BEING IN A REAL LIFE SOLIDE PLACE WHICH IS WHAT HE PROTEST TO WANT ALL ALONG.. HE JUST QUICK BEING HOW HE WAS WITH MELLISA. LOVING, AND NICE AND DEEP. HE'S AN ASS AND A PHONIE. AT ONE POINT ON A BLOG SOMEONE SAID I HOPE HE DOESN'T PICK MELISSA SHE HAS BIG ISSUES. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT. IT'S JASON THAT HAS THE BIG ISSUES. OH MY GOD I DISLIKE HIM SO MUCH NOW. WE LOVE YOU MELISSA. I AM SO SPUN AROUND BY AKLL THE THINGS JASON HAS BEEN PLEADING TO EVERYONE TO BE SO. THAT HE'S GOT MY HEAD SPINNING FROM ALL HIS TWIST AND TURNS AND FLIPS AND FLOPS AND NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES HE FLIPPED THE SKRIPT HE PROTEST IT TO BE REAL. ONLY IN THE END IT MENT REAL FOR THAT MINUTE.. OH I AM SO MAD!

Like most people here, I was very surprised and then disgusted by the ending. But I now just feel foolish for thinking that I actually believed that anything I was watching represented reality. Obviously, Jason wants to be an actor, and has been able to rationalize what he did and how he did it with a lot of help and encouragement by the show's "counselors". He's a simple guy, too simple obviously, without a working moral compass of his own. It would be interesting to hear from his ex-wife, no?
I'm sure that Melissa will be asked to be a Bachelorette, and hope that she shows the intelligence she showed at the end by refusing, regardless of the amount of money they offer. I would think that if she waited, better offers would come around.
lisa Says:

How the heck can this guy be an executive for Costco.
His decision making skills completely STINK.
He contantly made out with these women and forgot the reason why he was on the show.
Instead of ending it off of the show with Melissa, he decided to dump her on National TV. BAD DECISION.
These Bastards will do anything for a buck, its all about ratings.
This is another sign of the degredation of our civilization.
Jason you are a MORON.
L.S.O Says:
March 3rd, 2009 12:34 AM
This was TOTALLY staged. I have read that Jason CONTRACTED with ABC to pick Melissa and break her heart for viewer RATINGS! How PATHETIC that ABC would stoop so low and be so unethical for ratings and for DRAMA! ABC did this so that they could have a "historic" ending. It is completely immoral and disgusting to put on a PRETEND show with PRETEND emotions for ratings. It is completely and utterly unmanly and dishonorable for Jason to agree to do this to a wonderful, beautiful woman especially on national television. Melissa did NOT deserve this from anyone and I hate that Jason put on false pretenses and pretending to be an amazing sweet man. He is disgusting. I can't even watch the show or look at his face. I am also disgusted in CHRIS also. He knew all along. ABC knew all along. They had a planned an AFTER THE ROSE show 2 all along. They knew about this since the beginning. I am completely livid and I think this show should be taken off air. I think people should stand up for what is right and refuse to watch this show. I think Jason should get enormous amounts of hate mail and should be shunned whenever he is seen in public. He is just an immature selfish boy.

1. Jason = stuid, insensitive, selfish a**
2. Molly = his perfect match, hope they enjoy each other (by the way, Molly, how many times will you wonder if he is thinking about Melissa or is considering dumping you?)
3. Melissa = VERY, VERY lucky to not be with Jason
4. me = never watching this show again. Shame on you, ABC.
Rachel Says:
March 3rd, 2009 12:37 AM
All I can say is that I never watched this stupid show before and I will never watch it again. We need to see if we can start a nation-wide boycott of the Bachelor. I can't believe they would screw with the fans that way. I have absolutely no respect for Jason and even less for Molly. What a freaking slut!!! I love Melissa and I wish her the best. It is terrible that she got caught up in all this crap.
L.S.O Says:
March 3rd, 2009 12:38 AM
Oh and MOLLY is a fake robotic wanna be barbie. Her smile is so fake. She is a whore. And threw her body at Jason. They are perfect for each other. Both disgusting, immoral, selfish and LAME! But it won't last either because they both are manipulative and fake. If Jason can fake it with Melissa he can fake it with you Molly. He'll jump at the next best thing--you better watch your back.

Melissa bless your lucky stars you are not with Jason. You deserve much better. He is an A-hole. You are too sweet, loving, and kind for such a manipulative, dishonest, dishonorable man. He is unworthy of you. You will find TRUE LOVE and someone who knows how to love you back.
really? blech! Says:
March 3rd, 2009 12:40 AM
Well to be honest Jason seemed flakey from the start. Especially when he obviously did not understand what Jillian meant by being best friends with the person you spend the rest of your life with.
Although, bravo to ABC for delivering one of the most shocking, and laughable things I've seen.
Yes, I feel horribly bad for Melissa.
Yes, if thats REALLY how he feels, then he was right to call it off.
But come on, really? Was that necessary for it to be on TV?
Granted it did hold my attention, and is still holding my attention. ABC is not filled with complete idiots.
Its just disappointing to see such a degrading display emotions...and script writing.

ED Says:
March 3rd, 2009 12:41 AM
Awesome Job Jason!! You have the right to tell the truth. Melissa said in the Limo that she was not mad at you for not loving her. Why marry Melissa when the love was not true!! I could see the connection with Jason and Molly at the beginning. I predicted that they would be together. Tonight was so AWESOME!!! I was upset when Jason picked Melissa, as it just did not seem like the right Choice.
Congratulations ...Jason..and Molly. Good Looking Couple!!!!

I don't know if he liked Molly or the fact that she looks so much like the former Mrs. Meznik. He's a jerk. No matter how much money he got from ABC for doing this, it wasn't worth it for what he did to Melissa. How sad that Molly wanted to be with someone so badly that she thought 2nd place was good enough. Wait, 3rd after Deanna... no wait, there was a first wife. That makes Molly fourth place. Hope she likes it there.
Entertained Says:
March 3rd, 2009 12:42 AM
That was awesome!!! I am so glad my sister made me watch this show. The only one I watched all season and if you could not see that coming - then you are an idiot! Jason - who gives a crap if he ever finds love. Melissa - great publicity for you - I am sure we will see you again. And Molly - she is just perfect for him - oh and they have obviously been having a relationship. By the way - if any of you fools believe you can find love in the amount of time it takes to film this show then your stupid. Love don't happen in that short of time, who wouldn't second guess their decision. In fact - both Molly and Melissa have not clue what love is either. Great Show - great ending - give us another one that proves love don't happen like that!
March 3rd, 2009 12:18 AM
I am so outdone with this show. Melissa hang in there beautiful. God will send you your Prince Charming soon!
