She didn't give 100% either! She said she didn't want to call him and all that. So, what is she so upset about? So either she is lying to the world or a hypocrite to Jason. She is one confusing chick a dee. Or she is one confused chick a dee.Originally Posted by CharmOffensive;3856529;
Uh huh!!!!!
Well yeah.. I mean if Ed is her type then fine. But Reid isn't her type? That's just crazy!and at the time couldn't believe she would pick Ed, clearly Jill seems to be very happy with her pick, he apparently is her type, and she plans on marrying him, so although she didn't make the decision I would have made, it appears she made the right decision for her.
She knew he didn't want to get married but she picked him anyway and they didn't last. So I would classify it as a bad decision.And I wouldn't classify Meredith's decision as bad, even if they didn't end up getting married.
I disagree- there was nothing on that show that outed anything to the point that the average viewer would say "that's it, that's terrible, I'm never watching again". And with Jake's ratings the 3rd highest in the series history things are only looking just as good, if not better for Ali.
This show is relatively cheap to make - they rent the mansion, they don't pay the cast (or if they do it's minimal compared to the amount of advertizing dollars they generate for a 2 hr show), the location overnights are either comped or provided at a reduced rate in return for promotion. The lead is usually compensated in the low 6 figures area - which is peanuts.
I dont' see a scenario where this show is cancelled unless MF decides to pull the plug.
If this show wasn't so profitable it would've been yanked seasons ago.
Did Melissa not have contact with Ty after getting engaged? Did Melissa not date Ty before going on the Bachelor? Did Melissa not state she was on a rebound from that breakup? Did Jason do anythig more than talk and contact Molly? If not then he is no more guilty than Melissa.
I do not understand the hate...like Melissa said, they are all where they were suppose to be. The show puts a spin on normal human emotions. It is so easy to fall for a fantasy...only when they get back to reality does that fall apart. Very few manage to get it right and survive. All of them were victims.
Ahhhhh. That casting couch. I guess that explains why Rozlyn would give that chunky monkey producer the time of day ... He was kinda gross and, as goofy as Jake is, she had to have an agenda if she'd spend more time coming on to him than she did with Jake.Hollywood is full of these dorky guys and they always have some big bo*omed gal hanging on ther arms!
You're right in that they're not "mainstream dater" types at all. There was that 1 guy with the really big hair - OMG - he scared the heck out of me. Fleiss and Hinton were not much better, but somehow I kind of expected them to have that crazed pyscho kind of look and they sure didn't disappoint.
If you read the emails, and put what was said the other night together with the inside info from reliable people within the cheerleader circle it looks like this:
Ty broke up with Melissa before Jason's season on the Bachelor. Melissa said Ty would not commit to her. She went on the show as a rebound. She did not particularly go to find someone to love. (My thought: We have said many, many times that most of them go for the adventure, so I won't condemn her for that one).
The way she describes it immediately relates to what we have called "being in the bubble". She said she was not attracted to Jason, but he was "The Bachelor." In other words, the competition which is what the season is based on - 25 women VIE for the Bachelor - was truly in effect.
Now, remember that she is telling it the other night in present tense, and we are watching it and reading the emails in past tense. She says she can hardly watch it.
In other words, now she doesn't feel anything or the exact opposite of what she felt that night. Obviously, at the time of the FRC she was right smack dab in the middle of the bubble.
She said she didn't know him. She hardly knew anything about him. She is being realistic now. She is saying in the present tense that outside of the bubble Jason is not someone she would have been attracted to in the sense of dating. However, on the show, she was not in her typical situation.
I had a very good inside source in the cheerleading circle. I know that for a while after the FRC Melissa was trying. I know that like the emails said she knew the relationship was basically gone, but she thought they were supposed to talk about it on the the filming of the ATFR. Molly was a surprise. She had asked him several times about being in contact with Molly, and he denied it every time.
You see in the emails where she confronted him about Molly. He lied to her about Molly, and he apologizes to her about all of it.
He had been in touch with Molly. Read the emails.
When does Ty come in? She got in touch with Ty after the relationship with Jason completely fell apart.
Now, I think this is interesting! If we are going to get on Ed and Jake for cheating, then we had better throw Jason in there too because the proof is there in the emails that Jason cheated on Melissa by being in contact with Molly while he was engaged to Melissa!
I think the main thrust of my disgust for Jason is not so much the fact that he dumped Melissa in front of the world AND denied that he had been in contact with Molly when in fact that he had been ... it's his "holier-than-thou" attitude. He seems like such a complete fake to me. When he assured Melissa that he had not been in contact with Molly when he actually was, that was obviously a lie. Molly pretended to be completely surprised when Jason asked if they could get back together, too. The two of them deserve each other. I think Jason manipulates situations to make himself look good; i.e., calling himself a "single dad," and now is "charitable organization" that he is spinning off to raise money by selling his wedding leftovers. He's just a little bit shady to me ... not vile, not evil, just a little bit shady.
I, too, have fallen "madly in love" with someone rather quickly, then gotten into a "serious relationship" with them -- only to find out very quickly that the relationship is a dud. I have then found myself to be completely repulsed by that person, almost overnight!
It happens constantly to many, many people. I do not find it surprising that Melissa could have fallen for Jason, removed herself from the situation, and now finds it difficult to watch herself as she squeals with glee when Jason proposes to her. Been there, done that. My only surprise is how gracious she is when she speaks of Jason -- she always manages to control her gag reflex, and even finds kind words. My hat is off to her!
This is precisely what my sister and I were discussing during the Jason season: When you remove all of the glitter and glam that ABC painted over this guy, you're left with a divorced insurance salesman who lives with his brother, who shares half-time custody of his son. When he's presented on the show, he's portrayed as a gold-covered prize wrapped in a shiny bow. He's really just an average joe.
Maybe I have a different belief in what is right and wrong. This has to do with morals.
When you say "Did Jason ever do anything except talk/contact Molly"
When you are engaged, or let's say married, it is not "OK" to contact, call, email, text, send snailmail to someone else you are chasing. Ok, one step further, it is not "OK" to chase someone when you ARE engaged or married. Or in Molly's case, it is not ok to chase someone that IS engaged or married.
Now, if you break off your relationship--Both parties having fully discussed and understand the break up, then OK to move on.
With that, Jason should not have been secretly cheating on Melissa, Molly should not have been secretly cheating with Jason (and maybe other men), they are both a little off in there rights and wrongs.
