The Bachelor Spoilers: Jason Now Dating Molly After Split with Melissa
It appears as though fans of The Bachelor this season have been punked in a big way, according to blogger Reality Steve, who recently shared
some exclusive insider Bachelor information.
Steve says that he’s been told Jason Mesnick and Bachelor producer, Mike Fleiss, planned a fake love story (my words) for the viewers this season, even to the point of revealing the supposed winner before the season began, which is highly unusual. The screencaps clearly showed Melissa as the chosen one. It appears that the goal was to draw viewers in to make them think there was a real love story happening only to shock viewers in the After the Final Rose ceremony where they planned to have Jason dump Melissa and continue a relationship with Molly. Why? Ratings. Fleiss has been clearly exhuberant over the ratings increase this season because of fan favorite, Jason. He isn’t quite the fan favorite now that this news has been released, though. Fans are attacking him on his myspace page and across most bachelor message boards.
Another brand new blogger reported the same story just a few hours before Steve and has now recanted that initial information, saying that it may not be true afterall.
Was Jason in on this elaborate plan to punk viewers? It’s hard to believe. Was Molly in on the plan? That’s not so hard to believe. Steve says Molly and Jason were dating the entire time. (while still seeing Melissa) I just can’t imagine Molly happily accepting ’seconds’ unless she knew ahead of time what was really going on.
Since Steve started giving his readers clues about this insider news, Fleiss has been giving interviews that seem to collaborate the story, saying such things as things turned out ‘freaky’ and fans will find themselves hyperventilating in the end. There was even an announcement of a second After the Final Rose, which Steve says is to inform viewers how all three are doing now.
Another ‘rumor’ that’s taken off is that Melissa is the one who breaks up with Jason at the After the Final Rose ceremony.
For now, this is all rumor and speculation and we really won’t know what truly happened until Finale night and most likely, we still won’t know what “truly happened.”
I taped the show tonight for my wife who was out for the evening with a girlfriend. I actually watch for the first this so called reality show called The Bachelor. Total bullshit! Didn’t believe a second of this show. I knew it had to be scripted. Even knowing this I was hoping at the end Molly would tell this dweeb to “go to hell” and that she had found a real man. Steve made me want to pitch my beer through the tv screen. What a pussy! I can’t believe any one, much less me, would waste their time watching this trash. But I did. I deserve to be horse whipped. So completely full of horseshit….the whole thing.
