Yup I think it''s Melissa too! Molly just kinda bores me, I dunno - I just don''t see them together. I''m kinda sad Jillian''s gone cause I thought it was gonna be between her and Melissa!

Yea I REALLY can''t wait until 2 weeks to see what happens!

I couldn''t agree more. Watching Jason try to pry information during their date out of Molly was painful... I''m really sad Jillian is gone. Did anyone else ADORE her dress (and shoes) at the rose ceremony?? As cute as Melissa is, she looked like she was on her way to prom last night...

 

[steph72276]

Wow! So much drama last night. I can't wait for the finale. I can't wait to see what happens afterward. I also think he chooses Melissa. My theory is the reason why he let Jillian go is because he really liked her, but he had already made up his mind that Melissa is the one. I don't think he has anything special with Molly, so it would be easier to break her heart rather than Jillian, who he really genuinely cares about. That is my guess. Can't wait to see how it all unfolds though.

I found another spoiler post ... and, have to say that this sounds a lot more realistic than the pregnancy stuff. In fact, this sounds EXACTLY like what would happen with the two people involved in the situation. YIKES.

To be honest... when you think about how much money these people could be charged for spoiling the finale, I really don''t think that any of these are true. Just a personal opinion though.

I am really pulling for Melissa. Ever since last week, when Molly looked like a high schooler on the golf course, I haven''t been a big fan. I felt like the cameras this week, even showed the struggle to get her to start conversation. He keeps talking about her "eyes", so I''m guessing maybe it''s a physical thing. Her answers just don''t seem very genuine to me.

I think that Jillian was better for him than Molly, but if he''s going to end up with Melissa, then I''m glad to see that he has already sent Jillian home.

 

[Clairitek]

The fact that Molly came armed with a list of 20 questions for him was a huge indication to me that she doesn''t really *truly* feel it with him and wanted to make sure she had enough to say/ask him.

If I had been Melissa I would have been totally grossed out by the fact that he had been to the fantasy suite with two other girls already.

Though, I guess that the girls might not really know the order of the dates if they are sequestered from one another.

Add my vote to the theory that someone is pregnant. I really really really hope that Melissa doesn''t accept his proposal and then dump him for her ex boyfriend. We have to remember that Jason did say that he is engaged to someone when he was on Ellen and Chris Harrison keeps talking about the ''amazing proposal'' that happens in this season in his blogs. I do realize though that he might not be engaged to someone who was on the show.

If I had been any of the girls, I would have felt this way. I hate that every season, the bachelor or bachelorette falls (or starts falling) in love with more than one person. If Melissa is the one, then can't he pull back from the other girls a bit?? I wonder if this is why the relationships never work out in the end. Even though I know it is the premise of the show, I would feel much less special if I were Melissa, for example, when I eventually saw his date with Jillian that occured at essentially the same time!

With that said, I adore Jillian. I cannot believe that Jason told her that they didn't have anything more than friendship, especially after their NZ date, but whatever. I hope she finds someone who makes her happy.

Do these people get paid to be on the show?

 

[OUpearlgirl]

Ok, some things I have read..

-Jason has said he is engaged to someone from the show

-This reality Steve guy says that it''s not WHO he chooses that is shocking, but HOW. He has also said the producers really knew what they were doing when they showed the hair color, etc, of who he chooses.

I''m wondering if Melissa is an actress or something. Haha there are endless theories to all of this. Knowing ABC, the end result won''t be nearly as dramatic as we all think it is.. this is probably just another ratings ploy.

Because remember, every rose ceremony is the... most... dramatic... ever.

If you''re really interested, go to www.realitysteve.com and see what he has to say.

Every episode is the most dramatic ever... of course.

I prefer Jillian over Molly, but I could tell he would eliminate Jillian anyway. Though it was hard to tell after their date! I feel like Molly just wants to make it to the end, like it''s a competition and not dealing with someone''s life and feelings.

And maybe Melissa''s family is involved in the proposal? Since Jason didn''t get to meet them, maybe he wanted them involved

Just a thought.

 

[Diamond*Dana]

I cannot wait for the finale...ugh, 2 whole weeks!
Molly is ok, and I really did like Jillian, but I think that Jason and Melissa just seem to "fit".

 

[mrssalvo]

the romantic side of me hopes that Melissa''s family somehow is involved so he gets to meet them and that he proposes to Melissa. I have liked her since the beginning. I agree that I think he liked Jillian more than Molly but it will be easier to say goodbye to Molly in the finale. When he looks at Melissa it''s obvious he cares about her..I just don''t see a spark between him and Molly. can''t wait for until March 2..

 

[Definitely. Maybe]

They seem to have shown how much Mellissa and Jason fit together a little TOO much this season. I think they did the same thing with Jason and Deanna. Everyone thought she''d choose Jason because of the connection they seemed to have all season. Molly hasn''t really stood out to me all season as a good match for Jason. It could be good editing, which means he really chooses Molly and not Mellissa.

I personally like Melissa and hope it is her, but it seems really obvious how much they like each other and that is how I felt last season. I really wanted Jason to win, but Jesse was chosen. Why would ABC show the winner so much? Wouldn''t that create less suspense which could mean less ratings? I hope I''m wrong. I don''t care for Molly.

 

[DIAMOND*QUEST]

Well, I never cared for Jason. He seems a little too delicate for my taste. I liked Jillian and I am glad he let her go. Did you all notice how upset he got after he escorted her to the car? Was he already second guessing his decision? Molly is boring and she has poor communication skills. Melissa is very immature and young, but perhaps she is the best for him as they seem to be on the same page.
And yet again, "_________ is the most amazing woman I''ve ever met". BARFFFF And, the make-out scene was just way over the top.
And now D coming back? WTF?

 

[Blackpaw]

hear hear! i dont know whats going on in this season. I do like Jason, more than many of the other bachelors, though i do agree he''s a total sap...

I really really liked jillian and im so disappointed she went, i honestly thought she was a given. Molly is a preppy up-to-no-good sort and melissa is an airhead (you''re all thinking im a biatch arent you?!

)

So yes im really disappointed, and i cant imagine whats going to happen that''s so shocking in the finale and follow-up show...

Not at all! That''s practically what I think too

OUpear, thanks for posting the realitysteve website. I''m officially hooked. I hate surprises and I am tuning in to his site tomorrow to spoiler myself...

 

[Mrs.Guz]

I cannot wait to see the finale.

I hope Jason picks Melissa.

I felt so sorry that Jillian was sent home. I like her so much more than I like Molly.

Me too! 9 am EST can''t come fast enough now! I hope he holds up his end of the bargain and posts when he said he would.

I''m going to have to go read Chris''s blog from today because I am curious about the "backpedaling" that allegedly goes on in it about the finale.

I read it and I''m not sure what he meant by ''backpedaling'' considering Chris'' main obligation is to ABC and I''m sure his job is his #1 priority. RealitySteve seems to have a bit of a chip on his shoulder. I haven''t deciphered any of his clues yet, but I''ve never been good at that stuff anyway!

 

[ChinaCat]

I didn''t understand RealitySteve''s blog either. I think you have to go back and read all of his posts, which I just don''t have time to do. I did go read Chris Harrison''s blog and didn''t know what he was referring to with the backpedaling.

As for the show:

I am really suprised he sent Jillian home; even though she wasn''t my favorite, they seemed great together. Maybe it''s the editing, but the date with Molly just made me really uncomfortable. She seemed like she was pushing it, trying to force a closeness, and what he said about her didn''t match what we saw.

He is different wtih Melissa than the rest, at least what they show us. He is always touching her, whether it''s pushing he hair behind her ear, grabbing her hand, etc. I have noticed with the rest- though not necessarily Jillian- I notice when he is "supposed" to kiss her and he definitely is not as affectionate with Molly.

I kind of wish I hadn''t read all of that stuff, but now of course I want to know what that guy will say tomorrow. I can''t do Youtube from work though- can someone recap it for the rest of us? If people don''t want it on here, maybe we could start another thread?

Melissa is very immature and young

Isn''t she 25?

 

[Sabine]

I was really shocked at how much of the make-out session they showed with Jason and Jillian! I mean, this is ABC, and they totally showed them grabbing each others'' rear ends and basically getting it on! I wasn''t surprised that he let Jill go, although I really liked her! I forget who posted it earlier, but I TOTALLY loved her dress and shoes/accessories at the rose ceremony too!

I like Melissa, and I think he''ll pick her. However, she came off as really immature and pouty to me last night. And Molly still seems too snooty and stand-off-ish.

As soon as Melissa went to the fantasy suite, I was also thinking about whether that was the exact same room he was in with the other 2 girls, and how weird it would be to spend a night with a girl you knew you might be dumping in the next few days!

I don''t know actually. I would have guessed younger based on how she speaks and carries herself.

Yes, that was quite odd

 

[bebe]

I think Melissa is around 25''ish, maybe 24. To me, Jason''s attraction to her is sure, she''s cute and has a great body. But I remember when she told him she wanted to be a first grade teacher. I think he fell for that hook, line and sinker! Of the 3 girls, Melissa probably would be the best step-mom for Ty. Jillian just didn''t seem into motherhood, Molly - well I can''t pinpoint it.

 

[ChinaCat]

Ok, so had a new thought about why the 2 "After The Rose" shows:

What if he picks Melissa, but can''t propose to her without meeting her parents? Then perhaps her parents agree to meet him (either on or off camera) so they do get engaged- hence the second After The Rose show????

Just trying to think of possibilities.

Though I doubt that is what that blogger guy is talking about, since he seems to allude to something shady, right????

Don''t know why I am still thinking about this.

And I agree, Jillian''s dress and shoes at the rose ceremony were adorable and she pulled off those bright shoes! Melissa''s outfit was weird, but I still think they have the best "connection". Yes, I said connection!!!

Does anyone else wonder how much real time they spend together? I am assuming they make them re-shoot stuff over and over, so how authentic and comfortable can those dates be?

 

[musey]

I actually loved Melissa's rose ceremony outfit!


My one thing lately has been how awkward the "I love you" and/or "I'm falling in love with you" moments have been. They say it like one would say "I did do my piano practice, teacher!" Why is it always so forceful, as though they're trying to convince him of it? Why can't they say it like normal people do? You know, a quiet and romantic moment, gently letting it slip out. Not, "I LOVE YOU, goshdarnit, WHY DON'T YOU BELIEVE ME?!"

I''d agree that Melissa *seems* a lot younger than she *is* ... babyish voice, squinty-eyed pucker pouty faces ... insecure, low self-esteem (though I think she''s lovely looking). She''s *playful* but also kind of fakey seeming. Like she''d meld into whoever someone wanted her to be ... yanno? THAT kind of "young".

I love Melissa. She just seems so sweet and Molly doesn''t really seem sincere. BPD- I love the idea that her family is there for the proposal!

Deco, that is EXACTLY the impression I get from her, but hadn''t been able to pinpoint it! She is so insecure that she hasn''t quite solidified her own identity to herself yet, and she will just end up being whatever the guy wants her to be.
