So he's a reliable person. I just didn't swoon over hearing it only because it was expected.
For what it's worth, he also said that Jason is really crashing right now, personally, because he completely underestimated how negatively this would all be presented.

I am one of the very few who really cannot see why Jason is now 'the devil'. In reality lots of men behave like Jason - and it is a Reality Show'.
The Melissa love and the Jason and Molly hate is completely over the top. There are posts about Jason being an abuser, having to leave Seattle, losing his Job...people are being extremely spiteful.

Melissa is over it moved on or back to her ex ..didn't take her long to recover.

People should stop being so mean.

I don't know, B.
The guy who helps me out with the contracts is very gracious and forthcoming, and I've reported most of those details, but it's funny......in the world of contract administration, financial details are treated with more respect than other terms.
Doesn't mean they won't get out - because it's what people are most interested in - but it means that we haven't gone into detail on that subject.
Yet.

The only thing Jason is feeling sorry about is that he was caught in all his lies. Typical narcissist.

Thanks... You are right, no shock that Molly's family would be upset.

And well I do feel badly for Jason. We all make mistakes and hopefully we can move forward. But then I don't see that he realizes he made a mistake... and listening to him swoon over "the other woman" is where he looses support.

Neither, he thinks to highly of himself to think people would ever have a problem with whatever he decided to do because as far as he is concerned, he did nothing wrong. What Jason wants, Jason gets. Nothing else should matter to him or to anyone. As long as Jason is happy the birds will chirp and the flowers will bloom and he is responsible for all of it.

As a friend of Jason, he might want to advise him that showing some regret for how everything went down would probably help people get past their negative feelings. I think that in saying that he and Molly did not regret anything because they had to "follow their hearts" came off as callous and selfish. Acknowledging the hurt and deceit and showing some compassion and respect towards Melissa, would probably help redeem them both.

Maybe they did this in the Ellen interview?

Melissa is moving forward, but that does not mean the damage has completely healed. She was manipulated and betrayed, and he was in on it. And people are simply making Jason answer for his own behavior. To me, posting nasty comments on a message board is fair game. I am not sending him letters or hurling tomatoes at him in public.

The RS version of the story makes complete sense to me. If you go back to the beginning of the season and look at the SCs, follow the unfolding rumors, and examine the edit, it all comes together.

I don't think he is any of those things. I think he is a normal guy that got in way over his head and made several very bad and hurtful decisions. Nothing more nothing less.

But I also feel compelled to point out that there has been plenty of Melissa hate this season also. Just check out the Melissa thread and you will see plenty of veiled comments and outright nasty comments towards her. Same iwith Molly. Jillian is about the only one of the four main players that has escaped relatively unscathed this season. My guess is she is going to make up for it next season. It happens every season that I have seen and will eventually blow over as the board moves on to the next cast of "characters".

A pretty good source told me it was probably in the low 6 figures, meaning around $100K or more.

Maybe I didn't read enough because I'd say 75-80% of what I read wanted Melissa to be f1.
