I find it interesting what is happening with Jason's season. This is a man who now claims until the last day to be in love with 2 women. Jason also claimed to be in love with DeAnna just last May, and he proposed to her. I recall him asking her Father for his blessing on his proposal and Jason commented at the time he could never imagine not asking the Father for their blessing in such an event. Hmmmmmm...since he is claiming to be in love with both F2...what did he do then. Will we see him ask both Father's for their blessing as PLO did , or will he make a phonecall to Mel's Father that day when he makes his decision on which woman he loves the most! How romantic.

I think Jason is someone so in love with the idea of being in love, he has stated he is in love with 3 women and proposed to 2 of them in the matter of 6 months. Melissa seems to be able to turn herself into whatever Jason needs, as she seems in love with the idea of the wedding...(her bringing her wedding dress comment anyone! Flashes of PLO's Lisa! ) Funny how Melissa's matching stated career aspirations to DeAnna of wanting to be in the media, well they suddenly changed when Melissa was on her first date with a single father....interesting the big leap from a career in the media, to now wanting to teach first graders. How convenient for her! And Jason bought it just like he bought DeAnna's wanting to have 3 babies by the time she is 30. Jason, you know where that got you, so RUN FOR THE HILLS MAN!

Jason and Melissa should not be engaged at this point....they should be taking this slow. I wish them the best, but I give them to last until their contract for their ABC paid, televised wedding contract is over, or if that doesn't happen until the first winter in Seattle, or til Ty's first temper tantrum in a grocery store. Melissa does not seem mature enough to get married, and Jason seems to be in love with the idea of being in love with DeAnna Part Deux (DPD). I wish Jay and DPD the best...I don't see it working at all. Thanks and JMHO of course

Perhaps it is from her cheerleading days when she was performing and dancing on the field, to the people in the stands. I would like to like Mel, but I just can't get there at this point. Hopefully that will change for me, or I will get used to her eventually, since she is going to be the star of the show. I simply wish Melissa would tone it all down a bit....she is not playing to the bleachers in the nosebleed section any more!!!

And regarding Mel being in every reaction shot...I think I saw only one shot of Jillian after her answering the women's questions about her date, (when Mel got up and left in a hurry)...and that shot was when Jillian walked away during Megan and Erica's drama...and that was it. As I said...this is clearly the Melissa show....I personally by far prefer Jillian. She is just natural and seems genuine...nothing phony about Jilly. Thanks

Exactly my thoughts.

Well said, Karey. It's too much and too soon. I feel as if they are forcefeeding me with Melissa and the idea that she's the one. It's overkill.

In which case, are they maybe setting us up for the fact that it isn't Melissa?

It is only opinion ... and one is a s valid as the next

Jelle that is exacty the response I had composed in my head, but you beat me to it, and said it very succinctly.

It always cracks me up when those who feel that the one they favour is being attacked cry the editing foul (ie, you can't make those assumptions based on such a brief and hightly selective portion of the show) YET they also staunchly defend the virtues of their favorite based on these exact parameters.

Before anyone cries foul on me, I have been guilty of the same in past seasons, but lately I've been able to take a step back and now I'm just amused by it.

Okay, just wondered as you seem to have a lot to say about Melissa so was just curious.

No, I just become way too addicted to this darn show!! Look at me now - I woke up to use the bathroom (it's 4:55am here), and what do I do - check the computer!!! G'nite - back to bed!

I'm right there with ya', sweetpea! TPTB burned me for the last time last season. I'm here purely for the entertainment this time around.
