After what was an incredible 13th season and an emotional, two-hour season finale chock full of twists, turns and heartbreak, Jason Mesnick got down on one knee and proposed to Melissa Rycroft on The Bachelor Monday night.
It was an outcome many expected ever since a promo appeared to show Melissa's pinky ring. But it wasn't just ABC's sloppy editing job that gave the ending away - the chemistry between Melissa and Jason was palpable from the start.
This is not to suggest Melissa Rycroft had it easy tonight. She was grilled hard by Jason's parents and brothers and even more importantly, win over little Ty.
Runner-up Molly Malaney put up a heck of a fight, only to fall just short. She may be second guessing the re-use of her high school prom dress as we speak.
As for DeAnna Pappas' much-hyped return? Well, that was completely useless, staged and comical, but it at least ate up a good 10 minutes of air time.
In the end, absolutely no one could quite measure up to Melissa Rycroft's rare blend of beauty, love and charm. She and Jason Mesnick are engaged and happy ...
... or ARE they?
You may have read The Bachelor spoilers suggesting Melissa and Jason are headed for a shocking early breakup - with Molly taking her place by his side.
Is this for real? Would you be happy if so? And did Jason make the right choice? We'll find out on the "After the Final Rose" special airing ... right now!
Sound off on Melissa Rycroft and The Bachelor finale below!

I am honestly stunned.
I heard the rumors before the show, but I had hoped they wouldn't be true.
Melissa deserves better than this.

Jason is such a crying whinny creep and such a lousy actor would any of these girls want him. No wonder his wife dumped him.

Melissa, run girl!!......get away from this man. This man is not a fighter just as you said. We women need a man with a spine and backbone, someone who will fight for us, you deserve that because you only have one life. I mean come on....look at the man....he has a 3-year old son. He hadn't been married no time before he gave up on his 1st marriage, even if it wasn't perfect. You could give him credit if he had done 7 or 10 years or so, but 3??? he just barely walked down the aisle. Trust me baby M, he did you a favor because think if you had married him, he would be constantly punking out of the relationship every time he hit a speed bump....You really don't need the headache girl!! And one last note...get Jason's a** of the big screen because he is just gettin' olde.....
