The Bachelor: Jason Mesnick Chooses Melissa Rycroft, Dumps Her For Molly Malaney in "After the Final Rose"
Tonight on The Bachelor, Jason Mesnick finally made his choice on the season finale tonight, dropping down to propose to Melissa Rycroft of Dallas, Texas.
She accepted, and the rest is history ...
... or was, until less than an hour later.
That's when, in the "After the Final Rose" special, we learned that their engagement fell apart almost immediately - and moreover, he is now together with Molly Malaney, the runner-up he spurned in favor of Melissa on the final!
Did Jason Mesnick make the right call dumping Melissa Rycroft?
Do you think Jason Mesnick blew it tonight or did he do the right thing? Was the whole thing contrived - and how much did Melissa know going in?
With an unprecedented "After the Final Rose" special coming up tomorrow, we can only wait and see what happens next. We will keep you posted.
Are you upset by the finale? Comment below!

WOW...I watched the whole season and didn't anyone notice what a JEALOUS B*tch Melissa is/was. No wonder it wasn't going to work. Jason finally got to see that Jealous side of her, and with Ty having and should be receiving the most attention of his Daddy, that would put Melissa out. There IS allot more to this story we don't know and may never know. Remember how Melissa's parents didn't want to meet him...well I am sure they did once he asked her hand in marraige and how do we know what they thought of him. He seemed like he had comtempt in his voice on the night he broke up with Melissa on live tv...did you notice, his nostrils where flaring (good sign of resentment)...I thought Stephanie was the best for Jason, and I guess she didn't "get him up enough" to go at it further, even though "SHE IS JUST THE MOST AAAAA-MAZING WOMAN I HAVE EVER MET AND BEAUTIFUL"""blah, blah, then why Jason did you not pick her if that was so? She has a baby girl too! Duh! I agree, Jason is a very good ac

I REALLY THOUGHT JASON WAS VERY CRAZY FOR DUMPING MELISSA SHE IS SO PRETTY AND MOLLY IS NOT ATTRACTIVE AT ALL. AT THE END OF THE FINAL ROSE I REALLY FOUND OUT THAT JASON COULD NOT TELL HIS HEAD FROM HIS BUTT!!! HE IS STILL FINE THOUGH!!

I would REALLY like to know the ENTIRE truth behind the Jason and Melissa breakup. I guarantee you that we are not being told everything- not yet anyways. Something happened. Unlike many others, I don't have any harsh words for Jason or Molly. I always felt that Melissa had a dark side. Just a feeling. But I have no harsh words for her either.

I think there is way more to Melissa than meets the eye. We have all seen these types of people they come off really together in the beginning and then turn into clinging, needy possessive nightmares once they think they have you. I personally think Jason is too kind to say exactly what happened. She had him, he thought he loved her more than Molly. My question is what did Melissa do? How do we know Jason didn't genuinely want Melissa but she changed drastically and left him thinking oh my God I gave up the wrong one.
I may be wrong but who's to say without really knowing what happened after the final rose and what Melissa's role was in that.

First and foremost ...Jason is a peckerhead...this whole thing just made me ANGRY..I hear the part where he had to do it ..but on T.V....where is your dignity...If you were a real man with balls...(which obviously your not..you big crying p-----)you would never had agreed to this on T.V....somewhere somehow you should have found a way...Isn't it weird to anyone that before the 6weeks was up he was basically quitting...I wonder if he was the same way with his exwife....when is this man going to grow up....He claims to have been hurt and then turns around and hurts someone in the most humilating way possible...you truly have some issues...I can't believe how you handled this ...and I am soooo happy we don't have to see the bullshit crying you do so well...maybe you should start acting for the Hallmark channel...you would be soooo perfect there...All I can do now is pray for Melissa because in case you didn't know you little prick...it's bullshitters like you that turn nice girls like Mel

For you ladies out there, women can deal with monotony easily, but know that men are different, they love to try new things, and hate to be the back bone and the one taking initiatives all the time. They feel more secure with a woman who has the got to take charge, create, innovate, and those actions are relative to the man’s life style. Remember that they have dreams to fulfill just like you, and the same way you rely on them to make your dreams come true, they rely on you to help them fulfill theirs and make them happy in every way. So if you want to keep your partner, take the lead; not to be “the boss”, but to bring the best out of him every day, and you will harvest happiness. For example, if your partner loves to hang out with his friends and you want him to be around; instead of letting him go to them, invite them over as often as you can to a barbecue, or an evening tea with social games, group camping, or beach parties (asking every one to prepare food and bring nece

I am not judging any of them, but making analysis and comparison of the three parties’ personality with regards to Jason’s expectations, life reality and human behaviour. There is something that you don’t see Molly was more realistic in her interaction with Jason. Their emotions were not a flash; they grow gradually, and she expressed them in many different ways one step at a time knowing when and how to take further steps. In that short period of time, she put all her cards on the table and gave Jason a preview of what their life together would be if he chose her. On the other hand, Melissa-Jason’s interactions were monotonous, and this kind of relationship is boring and does not take long to fade. On the show set they were offered all the fantasies for free, so it was easy for every one to dream and enjoy, but after the show, was Melissa able to follow up in order to keep the flame well lit? I see her more as a typical woman who waits for the man to give the note; “thi
