Bearyola,

Thanks for posting this. I didn't even watch the second night after seeing him dump Melissa. He makes me ill.

WTG, Becky!!

ugh. OMG. ewwww. Bachelor Jason and 2nd choice turned fiance are doing a TOUR!!! Oh yeah, he sure loves his son.

And Jillian is the new Bachelorette? The show has gone down, getting worse.

I have so many other shows to watch, thank goodness.

I am disgusted.

All right, fine. I admit it. The wife makes me watch the bachelor as part of our "together time" (read as "time when Strk doesn't get to watch sports, political shows or guy movies and has to repent for any wrong doing done previously or any future wrong doing). Once you start watching, its hard not to keep up with it. Thank God for the ability to fast forward so its only a 40 minute waste of time.

That having been said, I thought this was going to be the best bachelor because the guy got dumped before, he has a kid, and is seemingly a stand up guy trying to find someonoe and care for his son at the same time. Then they put in the weird chick with the daughter who goes out on a limb but doesn't make it. We all felt bad for her even if she was a little strange.

I've never seen the bachelor pick the chick I thought he should pick. However, Melissa (the first fiance) was the one I picked from the beginning and thought he should be with. And, that other golfer chick (the current fiance) seemed totally wrong. Too stiff, not emotionally vested or capable of expressing it. Weird family (not that mine isn't).

Sure enough, he picked the right one (in my mind) and then the show doesn't disappoint by being consistent in that the chick I think it should be loses. The way it was done by Jason was HORRIBLE. And, after all that watching and thinking he's a normal guy who went through a bad time but cares about his son he turns out to be a complete moron. And, he did it all in public. What a tool.

First, if you're 32, don't you know that a 24 year-old probably isn't ready to be step mother. I know, I know, there are exceptions. But, in my mind, no one in their early 20s is prepared for parenthood. You can get there and do a great job but it shouldn't necessarily be a plan except in rare occaisions. Thats my thought. Most people and yes I'm generalizing are idiots. In fact, I'm now dumber for having watched that show (along with millions of Americans). But, I can't see someone meeting a dude on TV with a kid and deciding at the ripe old age of 24 or whatever that she's ready to move to Seattle, be a step mom, etc.

Hopefully, they did this in a way that would not potentially wreck his son.

The icing on the cake was making Gilligan the next bachelorette. If I am forced to watch that show, I may puke. I hope they asked Melissa to be the bachelorette and she turned it down or something.

Well, Melissa my not be the next Bachelorette, but she's on Dancing with the Stars!!!

Perhaps Melissa did not want her few minutes of fame to be over.

Thanks Beary! I read that just as I was about to watch the show.

I think you are right, Barb. She does not want her 15 minutes of fame to be over. Her agent has been very busy getting her moment in the sun prolonged. It was funny to hear the boos when the Bachelor was mentioned and the cheers when Melissa danced - I thought she did a good job all things considered.

If she was truly humiliated by the public rejection and that icky kiss by the #2 choice right after Melissa left, then the cheers and the dance experience will be a good thing. The best revenge is living well.

I agree -- I don't think she wants her 15 minutes to be over and I actually think it very well might have been MELISSA who leaked those emails! They're not favorable to Jason and well, WHO could have had access to them? Maybe it's not her but it sure makes me wonder...
