Alright, I'm sure I'm going to get slammed for having a conflicting opinion, but here goes.
I refuse to feel sorry for someone who goes on a tv show that has proven over & over again that the "winners" rarely make it past the 3 month mark. I also refuse to feel sorry for Melissa getting dumped on TV....all the other ladies were dismissed on TV & we're ok with it every week. Melissa obviously knew when she walked on stage, she wasn't wearing that ring & looked mighty pissed off. What didn't really get elaborated on was how much detail did Jason & Melissa have with their "discussions" that they had once the show stopped taping. I know several women who have had those conversations & don't get it until a guy finally says (for lack of better words) "I'm just not that into you". We don't know what their discussions were.
I don't dislike Molly at all. I think the producers creatively edited it all so we'd like Melissa & want her to win his heart. We weren't supposed to want Molly to be the F1.
Now, before you go off on me, do I like what Jason did? No. But it's a television show. Do I like that the previous couples waited until their contracts were up before calling it quits? No. If it's not going to work, why should you have to play along for the allotted 4-6 months that ABC requires? I think it was all scripted last night, but even if it wasn't why should he string her along?
Either way, I'm sure I (like so many of you) will most likely be watching the next season, because I love the drama.
