If you read my post # 2842 above, that is exactly the point I was trying to make.

Although nobody in the house outwardly disliked Molly, she didn't appear to be anyone's favorite (except Jason's, apparently). Personality-wise, she would seem to have something in common with Deanna.

I agree with you on Molly. It really struck me at the rose ceremony where he let Jillian go. If you look back, when Molly gets her rose, both Melissa and Jillian look like they are disgusted.

Exactly.

Then I realized that this scene was trying to show us a different Jason, a negative view of him, and I wonder if CH fishing for the "1st base comment" wasn't trying to tell us "this guy is not as innocent as he seems, actually he's quite sleazy"... comments?

I thought they were bringing her out of the best friend box Jason had placed her in to generate interest in her as the Bachelorette.

Unless they intend to change the name of the show to The Best Friend.

This makes a lot of sense, especially with CH blatantly floating the idea at the WTA. Jillian has been edited as smart, funny, adventurous, interesting, caring, mature, and popular (all of which I have no doubt she is IRL), but she hadn't until then been portrayed as "hot" and "sexy", which are important requirements for The Bachelorette to have. Since Fleiss had originally decided to use someone new (whether chosen or unchosen) in the role, the overwhelmingly positive female response to Jillian has made him rethink this.

I admit, I don't think I will ever get the edit of this show.

I think the inhibitions were at full tilt because of maybe just way too many drinks being handed to them all night....haven't you been there and done that... just not with a tv audience lurking.

Jillian said as much herself.

The question is why is she edited to show as much of this scene as they did. She's had the steamiest scene to date.

Exactly! I'm not a prude, but I thought that scene was over the top even for the sleazy Fleiss. But if you want to "sex Jill up" so she is believable as the object of 25 male fantasies, why not start in the ole hot tub?

Hmmm. Has anyone ever been asked on both Ellen and WTA if they would accept the nomination to be the next Bachelor/ette - and then *not* gotten the gig? Is Fleissbox just teasing us again?
