Bachelor 13 - Media **Spoilers**

[spunk]

I am totally going out on a limb here but, two things I noticed, Melissa seems to feel that something significant happened for him to have a change of heart. I think she feels things were going great and all of a sudden out of no where he had his change of heart. Here is what I think,

He was probably going to keep Melissa around and wait the mandatory dating period and then turn around and date Molly.

However, I am sure he was in contact with Molly and let her know that was the plan. Molly was probably not happy about this. She wants to win at all costs. If Mike Fleiss is not lying and he was talking to her about being the bachelorette the week prior to the TV break-up, I am sure Molly said to Jason I am getting this offer from ABC and if you don’t make up your mind and dump her I am taking it.

Molly is probably used to using ultimatums like this. Wasn’t there a rumor that she only went on this show to make her married lover jealous in the hope he would leave his wife?

Kultainen...you seem to be in the know and i have enjoyed and appreciated your post the last past couple days.....
Do you know if Jay finally met Mels family? Also.....did Mel exchange any type gift with Jay on the LCD dates? Just curious, as they made a point to show the gift from Mol but not Mel.


MEL fan all the way from her days on DCC!!!!!!

When asked why Jason broke up with Melissa on tv and didnt do it in person, Chris responded with "because WE thought it was best."

Seriously? He really admitted it? Wow. This is big. Maybe it was a slip of the tongue.
This does validate what Jason said. Another clue to ponder.

Maybe what changed was the fact that he was still talking to Molly

Good one.

I hope she'll feel comfortable telling her side. BTW: Chris Harrison: If the quotes attributed to you in these various media reports are true, you're talking out of both sides of your mouth. Either Melissa was blind-sided or she wasn't. You can't have it both ways. And Jason: This is now the third version I've seen or read of your claim as to when Melissa knew.

Funny that we've focused on CH/MF/ABC throwing Jason under the bus. I now think Jason threw himself there, and CH is now throwing himself there as well. Fine with me. Someone please start the ignition!

CH said they felt they needed to show America what happened instead of just saying "Jason is with Molly now". What was more interesting to me is then Ellen responded by asking why instead of going through the break up on national tv didnt' they let both of them come out and announce that their relationship had ended and why it had ended, sparing Melissa the humilation basically of having it play out on air. CH said good question but he never really answered it.

MOO

More confirmation as to what a tool Jason is.

The View - I don't think so. I was doing something else while listening. Did say what bothered them was that Jason "appeared" to be a stand up guy. Mentioned Ty and why you would behave this way having a young son.

She did not act like a person who knew she would get dumped, but maybe thought they would be discussing problems. I believe the breakup (officially) was news to her. And, thus- the name- "you B@5t...D". I believe that is the moment she realized she was being dumped- on tv, in front of cameras. At least, at the FRC, each girl knows someone is going to be dumped, so you can prepare yourself. I don't think Mel was given that chance. That is what makes me mad.

Me, too, peachgal. On one of our local morning news stations they said something like: Molly gets her Bachelor - the man every other woman in America hates.

Already seen it. The laughs: He said Melissa must have had 'female intuition' that she was about to be broken up with!
He also said rumours had been started in several publication and the net that the whole ending was scripted and that his reputation was being sullied.
Ellen did not seem to buy much of what he had to say thank goodness.
