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.

OMG I just read what reality steve had to say.

I really hope that''s not the whole truth. I know some of it might be true but if that''s really the way the ending goes down UGGGGHH.

Wow. I cannot believe what reality steve had to say. I''d like to think Jason is a nicer guy than that.

It''s pretty sad if Steve is right.

Big ditto to everything you all have said.. He should be ashamed.

 

[mrssalvo]

I was disappointed the season Brad didn''t pick either girl. and although I know this reality tv doesn''t usually have a happy ending once the camera''s stop rolling, something like what Steve is suggesting would probably end my Bachelor watching days.

I''m going to keep my romantic head in the clouds and hope Melissa''s family shows up

 

[Clairitek]

Ugh I can't get on the Reality Steve site! I got side-tracked and haven't been able to watch!

I suppose I'll try again later! Dying to know though...

ETA: Nevermind! I got on the site and realized its all YouTube! Should have searched there first!

 

[Clairitek]

Whoa...

This will be interesting in the coming weeks.

 

[musey]

No spoilers! Thanks ladies who''ve posted re: realitysteve so far for not giving anything away

 

[LaurenThePartier]

Just watched all the Realitysteve videos, and yeouch. I''m really hoping it''s not what happens.

 

[niccia]

I can''t wait either...I think Reality Steve is probably right about what''s happening. It would be just like the show to do something like this.

No worries Musey! I''d hate to ruin it for everyone else who hasn''t watched.

I can''t wait for the finale to air so we can all gossip about it!

 

[whitetulips]

I watched reality steve too

I second mrssalvo completely. I hope it doesn''t end like that.

 

[ChinaCat]

Didn''t watch it, but read a recap.

All I have to say is that if that''s true, I am completely disgusted and will never watch this show again. This is really the first season I''ve watched and part of the reason is that Jason seems sincere.

In fact, not even sure I will watch the finale if this is where it is going.

Funny, I was really upset when I read this stuff, and then I had to remind myself- it''s a TV show!

I have watched other seasons, but I really thought Jason seemed sincere. I really hope realitysteve is wrong. I still keep having to remind myself it is just a TV show and I read it this morning. haha

 

[Burk]

I''m so sad I watched the realitysteve! Makes me so sad. I hope it''s not true! I guess we''ll see....can''t wait for next week!

 

[snlee]

Wow, I hope it isn''t true. Sad if it is and I probably won''t watch The Bachelor again.

 

[Haven]

Say it ain''t so! If Reality Steve is telling the truth, this will be the first and last Bachelor that I ever watch.

As for general commentary--Does anyone else think Jason is a boring guy? I feel a bit badly about saying that because he''s a real person and all, but I''m quite sure he won''t be reading PS. He just seems so blah. Not much to say, not very interesting, no particular standout traits. Vanilla.

I think Molly is pretty vanilla, too, and her family was very odd with the whole "Look, we''re wearing goofy hats, doesn''t that make us absolute cut-ups?" Um, no. It makes you boring people wearing goofy hats. I thought her 20 questions deal was a similar situation.

Melissa is adorable, in my opinion. I think she has a good energy, and something to say for herself.

Can''t wait for the finale!

 

[BlueSki231]

geeeeeeeez everyone''s got me REALLY curious about this realitysteve stuff..
but I think I am going to resist the temptation to check it out..

 

[Rock_of_Love]

This is crazy...I have never heard such a spoiler!! I hope it is not true, but I am betting that it is.

The only spoiler I''ve ever had was from The Bachelor: London Calling...anyone remember the girl Chelsea at the end? Well, I have a good friend who was dating her prior to her going on the show. They remained good friends and reconnected after the show stopped filming. She totally spilled it and said she made it to the end, but wasn''t the girl he chose.

Anyway, I really liked Jillian...but, I think Molly is a better fit, more "mom" like. Melissa is really sweet, but kind of a ditz.

All I have to say in this situation is poor Ty. I hope he is being sheltered from all this madness!!!

I've been following the Reality Steve scoop+theory & while I won't give away any of that stuff -- just wanna say that I've always thought Jason was a douche/creep/stalker. I'm pretty sure I posted that on a Bachelorette thread so I'll look for it. He was so gross with Deanna ... he was devouring her. And I never bought the "good dad" stuff -- what "good dad" leaves his kid for months to pursue *ss. Not fame, not fortune, not a job like on the Apprentice -- but simple bootaye. BEFORE his divorce was final mind you. MONTHS before. Yuck. Plenty of folks are fathers and total a-holes too. Sure the kid's cute but that doesn't make him "a catch".

Anyway -- I thought I was only grossed out by him kissing DeAnna ... like it was their particular chemistry (or lack thereof) but when I saw promos for this Bachelor season I was all NOPE -- that guy is gross kissing ANYONE.

So I didn't watch this season. Until a friend dragged me into last week. She thinks he's a good guy. I think he's a KREEP.

It wouldn't surprise me if the worst of all the rumors is true because of my preconceptions about him. And who ever thought this guy was a "prize" anyway ... divorced 32 yr old insurance salesman making 50K in Seattle & living in a townhouse w/his brother? That sounds like, um, people's everyday dating pool. Not a TV Dream Dude! Where else would models & Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders be fighting over THAT life-package ... even if he was Saint Jason??

Yick. Yuck. Blech. I am officially over this train wreck (about six years too late).

ETA: found my post from 6/24/08 JASON -- it worries me that she felt like an "instant family". That's not realistic. She might be projecting his feeling for his son onto his feelings for her & getting confused. Also, when they kiss -- its kind of gross. She backs a way a bit ... like she's TRYING to like it, TRYING to be into it ... but ultimately not. Wrong reasons here. She wants kids, he has a kid ... she can picture that but can she picture waking up to him everyday? Can she picture a hot honeymoon? Ewwwwwww. But judging from my other posts I must have thought he was okay until the kissing started. I had him in the top 3 from early on ... but started questioning things when his sales-y fake side started coming out & when he started puckering up

haha. I really enjoyed reading your post deco. I have to admit I really like(ed) Jason up until these rumors. blah

 

[Definitely. Maybe]

So... I just tried get back on the realitysteve website to see if there were any updates and the site has been temporarily disabled. I wonder if ABC has anything to do with the disabling of it?

 

[Clairitek]

Deco- your post made me giggle! I never noticed those things during Deanna''s season. I was so shocked when she chose Jesse over Jason. I really didn''t Jesse had a legitimate chance until the moment I saw her turn Jason down.

The site is back up and running, most likely there was just an overload of viewers that temporarily shut it down. Two weeks cannot come soon enough- I want to know now what has really been happening!

Yeah, and remember how they hated Brad? If Jason did what they said he did, can you imagine how they would handle HIM? I think I wouldn''t watch anymore either.

I completely agree, mrssalvo. If what realitysteve says is true, I am DONE with the Bachelor!

 

[luvmyhalo]

I say I''m done with The Bachelor every season, yet here I am, like a deer in headlights. I just can''t look away!!!!!

Same here! I took a long hiatus between the last two Bachelorette seasons and here I am totally and completely obsessed with this reality TV hooey. After this is done I will not watch a Bachelor season again but I will tune into a Bachelorette season. Watching 25 men pine over one girl is far more interesting than watching the cattiness of women!
