I tend to agree that Molly must have had at least some advance notice at the ATFR1 either from Jason or from TPTB (and for all we know, she may have initiated the whole thing - she is competitive enough), but I do not believe that she was in on it from the start! As I already mentioned it does not look like there was a conspiracy, just heavy scripting in the ATFR, once Jason and Melissa's relationship fell apart!
Having said that, if one is to believe some of CH blog (and I am not saying I necessarily do),
I could see TPTB "convincing" Jason to go with Melissa at the FRC, knowing he was lost and mixed up. This was done, not with the intent of making the switch, but to have the love story they were thinking existed. Maybe they were even giving him reassurances that if it does not work out, they will allow him an opportunity with Molly. If that was the case, you could make a very good argument that TPTB caused all this (Fleiss

). Of course, it does not excuse some of Jason's behavior!
Either way, a pretty bad mess!
