The Bachelor is a Jerk!

Last night’s finale of The Bachelor promised to have “the most shocking twist in Bachelor history,” according to host Chris Harrison. And boy oh boy, he wasn’t kidding.

For those of you who missed last night’s episode, here’s a quick recap: Bachelor Jason took each of the final two ladies competing for his love, Melissa and Molly, on separate day-long dates where they each met (and were grilled by!) his son and his family. Although he said in confessionals that he was torn between both women, the next day in the “final rose ceremony,” Jason tearfully dumped Molly before finally choosing Melissa. He proposed to her, and it seemed like it actually might work out for Melissa and Jason, who’s been saying for months that he’s engaged and how happy he is. Would this season of The Bachelor finally have a successful ending?

Guess not. Minutes after the fairy-tale-like finale, Jason said on the After the Rose special that he’d been having second thoughts about his choice. He explained that things had been different between him and Melissa ever since filming stopped, and revealed that he planned to end things with Melissa that night and ask Molly for a second chance. When Melissa came on stage and he revealed his feelings, she was shocked, called him a “bastard” (you go, girl), and stormed offstage.

No wonder she was pissed: she thought everything was going perfectly between them, and to find out that he didn’t feel the same way is a definite bummer. But to have her embarrassment broadcasted on NATIONAL TV, in front of millions of viewers—that’s beyond devastating, so I don’t blame her reaction.

But there may be another reason for just how upset she was. We’ve heard from a very strong source close to the show (for realz) that the real reason Melissa was so mad was because she lost her virginity to Jason! No wonder she flipped out the way she did, even though she was on TV.

Poor girl!

We all know the saying “you never forget your first,” but with her first being all over the media, Melissa won’t be able to escape him! She’s right: Jason is a total bastard. That whole “I love my son” game is totally a ploy to get into girls’ pants.

    I completely agree!

    I was actually rooting for Jason for so long. He seemed like such a nice guy, and I know people think it's ridiculous because it is the bachelor and only a show, but I thought this season would be different. and man. I'm so disappointed. I've lost all faith in men. haha.

    I haven't been watching the whole season, just the first and last episodes, but my friends are obsessed so I got reigned into it last night. What a jackass! I can't believe she lost her virginity to him either, that is rough. I think that the appearance of Deanna fucked it all up. Too bad for him.

    I watched the whole season and from the beginning I was routing for Melissa. I was so happy when she won, but do you think ABC could let me enjoy that happiness? Nooooooooo… 2 minutes later Jason was on there saying he was breaking up with her. As if that wasn't bad enough he was doing it on national television!!! I was so shocked that he was THAT much of a jerk! I completely agreed with Melissa when she said it was ridiculous that he didn't even try to make it work. I wish Molly would've been smart enough to say no, but I guess she's going to be in the same position in another two months when Jason decides their relationship is to difficult and goes running for DeAnna… ugh.

    Ha! Jason is a total loser and that whole After the Rose thing seemed insanely fake.

    Did y'all see Jason on Jimmy Kimmel? He seemed really flippant about the whole thing if you ask me: http://squareeyes.blinkx.com/?p=403

    I don't get the attraction with this guy. A divorced, single father of a 3 year old? He is clearly damaged goods. An account executive? Laughable. He has a psychology degree, he is not making a lot of money. I didn't realize women found poor, divorced single fathers of a three year old attractive. What am I missing here?

    He obviously showed why he is divorced with his abhorrent behavior. No wonder his wife kicked him to the curb. Hopefully she is getting half and then some of his money. She deserves it for having to put up with this slimeball. What a loser.

    Wow

    I agree with Sarah…

    I don't see what all the fuss is about. Yeah, it sucks, but this happens EVERYDAY!!

    You loose your virginity to some jerk who breaks up with you for another girl. Story of every girl's life. (Well, some girls)

    ALSO, if you go on a REALITY TV SHOW to find love, please, you need to expect something like this. It's reality tv…

    Imo, this Melissa girl should've seen it coming

    I’m going to be the black sheep on this comment board and say that I don’t think this is that big a deal.

    I know Jason broke Melissa’s heart, but sorry, that happens. He said he couldn’t lie and keep going with something that wasn’t right, and I agree with him. And I know everyone is saying he’s such a jerk because he broke her heart “on national television,” but guess what? Melissa knew what she was getting into when she agreed to compete for a man’s love on a reality show. She should have been prepared to be dumped in front of millions of viewers.

    Also, it makes perfect sense that things were different between them once all the cameras turned off. Falling in love with someone during all these fantastic, well planned-out dates is like a completely different world–it’s not reality. It’s no surprise to me that when shit got real, things changed between them.

    I also think it’s unfair to call Jason an “a-hole” just because he was doing what he felt was right. Why should he and Melissa stay together just so America can continue believing that everyone who falls in love on TV has a “happily ever after”-type ending? He shouldn’t. I hold nothing against him for not waiting to tell her; better sooner than later! He was only being true to himself the best way he knew how, and we can’t judge him for it.

    P.S. This shit makes for some good TV, amirite?

    I agree with Sarah…why should he stay with a girl that he clearly wasn't in love with? He and Molly seemed happy together.

    But then again it was probably all for ratings.

Tell us what you're thinking...
