Re: B13 Thoughts and Comments

I'd be surprised if she passed it up, knowing she loves to dance. It is a big deal, and even if you don't fancy yourself ever being a "star", the show does attract some big names, and who wouldn't enjoy a chance to be in this environment when it is handed right to you. Some of these celebs campaign for it for weeks!

GO MELISSA!!

I'll be happy to watch Melissa on DWTS but if she uses it as a venue to get some more digs in.... it'll tell me all I need to know about her.

I highly doubt she's going to use this show to talk about Jason, Molly and/or the Bachelor. She's more over this than some folks I know.

Somehow, they are going to have to introduce her to the audience (many people don't watch The Bachelor), so the show itself is going to have to come up.

And, I'd be pretty surprised if Tom Bergeron doesn't make at least one quip about it, she may or may not respond.

I'd rather she'd have stuck to her guns about getting back to her normal life, but for some reason, she didn't consult me, .

Re: B13 Thoughts and Comments

Of course the show will come up in her introduction. We'll have to see how TB (Tom B.) handles that introduction, but I'm sure he won't have clips of the FRC and AFRC.....and it will all be forgotten after that.

Maybe she'll be introduced as former DCC?? and the bach won't even be mentioned. Just a thought.

But so damaging that by the time the ATFR aired people had entrenched positions and all Mel had to do was play up a bit.

One thing though I didn't find her all that convincing on ATFR - so I doubt she will be getting any acting oscars.

If anyone was the victim in this it was Molly and Jason but people will never see that.


I try hard to stay clear of camps, i.e., Melissa's fan groups/Molly's fan group.
I try to read the edit, the edit stats, and the screencaps instead.

The edit thread will indicate from early on that I realized the edit was terribly skewed and something wasn't right. While Melissa had the F1 screencaps, Molly had the too confident/competitive, too tarty F2 edit but had at the same time the F1 edit stats position - types of anomalies which have indicated in the past a faulty love story or a faulty transaction. In other words, something was screwed up with the edit which indicated that something wasn't right with the whole story either.

Therefore, I took a wait and see position on the RS reveal. I don't jump on bandwagons, but I try to wait for some kind of substantiating proof if possible.

The point when I decided that there was at least a verbal agreement made between Jason and Fleiss/Fletcher for a flip-flop at some point in the process came when USMag and ACCESS both came out and said that they had their own independent sources that had leaked the same info as Reality Steve had revealed.

Neither one of these magazines had any invested emotional interest in Melissa or Molly and much to lose if they printed an out and out lie on a whimsy or just to please a blogger.

Maybe or maybe not Melissa was Steve's original source - I have no idea who his source was - but what do you do with those other independent sources of information - USMAG and ACCESS that came out and said are not the same as Reality Steve's but corroborate the evidence?

Do we turn our heads and ignore what we don't want to acknowledge?

If Melissa indeed as you have stated revealed that Jason co-spired to make her the F1 that becomes the F2 and that is backed up by other independent sources to USMAG and ACCESS, does that then make Molly and Jason the victims?

Can we fairly and impartially make that claim based on the evidence at hand?

I think in the weeks following the FRC Jason realized that Melissa wasn't the girl of his dreams after all. I'm not saying she's a terrible person or anything, just that she wasn't who she portrayed herself to be during the dates they were on - and Jason realized they weren't that compatible after all. JMO of course.
Jason (and I believe the other bachelorettes) also stated that Melissa was the same on camera as she was off... he stated this after he had been home for a while... So I would gather that she continued to be "who she portrayed". He has stated that she was exactly what he thought he always wanted, but he later realized that he now wanted something different...So she didn't change, but what he wanted changed...

There are all kinds of hints that when she got back home, she wasn't what he wanted. He changed his descriptive words in his interviews from the beginning of the season to right before the ATFR in what he wanted. At first he wanted someone who would RELY ON HIM. That fits with Melissa's edit.
She was young, energetic, and we saw that she had been let down in previous relationships. She had plans for what she would like to do with her life as far as teaching and having kids, but she was definitely looking for someone to rely on.
Bubbly, high energetic, reliant Melissa may have suddenly seemed too immature and dependent upon a Jason who wasn't quite as ready for that responsibility as he proposed.

Right before the ATFR, we got interviews where Jason said he wanted someone who "challenges" him - as opposed to relies on him.

I think that he decided once he got home he didn't like what he had picked. He decided to exchange it for the different brand: the highly confident, take charge, in control, self-reliant, career -oriented woman who would take the lead in the relationship and challenge him instead of relying on him to be the dominant, take charge/be in control person in the relationship.

"Molly is fun, passionate, and she challenges me."
