Am I Dreaming?

.......Did that just happen? Did that really just happen?

I have come to realize that perhaps I am a little too invested in The Bachelor. I felt my heart stop multiple times tonight and I think at one point my fingers and toes went numb.
SERIOUSLY????
I don't even know what to say. (I am sure I will think of something, though.)

I was absolutely ELATED when Molly stepped out of the limo first (wearing a purple dress, which I knew was NOT the winner.) I was thrilled when he let her down. As thrilled as I was when he shot down Deanna (Was she FOR REAL? Can you imagine if Brad had come back and said those things to her? She would have flipped out-and not in a good way.) I was so happy when he got down on his knee to propose to Melissa...although her reaction was a little theatrical, I was so super happy.

And then it all went to pot.

I cannot BELIEVE he broke up with Melissa like that- on television? Why couldn't he have voiced these concerns over the past 6 weeks when they were talking...on trips...spending holidays together? I know some might think she didn't handle it with much class, but I actually think she handled it quite well considering the circumstances. My heart literally broke in two when she made the point about him taking her one and only engagement from her. Ugh, I felt so sorry for her. MELISSA!!! MELISSAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

So, he crushed Melissa's heart...and then came Molly. Now, no one throw anything at me, but when it became apparent that Melissa had no chance, I kind of started hoping that at least Molly would have a happy ending. I know, I know. I can't stand her...but I found myself getting really excited when she was telling Chris that she was still in love with Jason. I was on the edge of my seat waiting for him to spill the beans. It was just the excitement that all her wildest dreams were about to come true, I guess. I loved how SHOCKED she looked. The whole thing felt kind of scripted (her admiting how she still had feelings and would love for him to change his mind) until I saw her reaction. She almost seemed like she would pass out. I am happy that things worked out for her.

But I seriously hate Jason. Stop crying, Jason. You brought it all on yourself. Talk about a flakey man. Watch out, Molly, he will be calling Jillian next week.

Can't wait for tomorrow's installment of the Final Rose...Part TWO!

Loved how she called him a bastard, LOL! That made my night. I was the same way...thrilled when Molly was the first one there, thrilled when he asked Melissa to marry him, and awwww how cute, they all jumped in the pool at the end. And then....WTF?? Seriously?? I liked her point about him not willing to fight for their relationship. He felt like they had differences and went running back to the bikini massage, I mean Molly. Gimme a break. Maybe she'll be the next Bachelorette? I too was all giddy that Molly was getting her happily ever after though....hopefully. Like you said, he'll be calling Jillian next!
Wonder what's happening tomorrow? Another proposal or another break up...hmmmm

W O W!!!!!! I have no words. I lost a whole lot of respect and good feelings for Jason tonight. NOT COOL! It all felt very Jerry Springer-ish when Melissa was coming out. I can't wait to see what happens tomorrow.

Erika Hanks said...

I can't stand Jason, are you kidding me? Try to give it a try in the real world without giving up the first sign of distress! I think Melissa handled well, I felt SO bad for her and agreed with her when she told Jason, he was not willing to FIGHT for THEIR relationship. I want Molly to be happy but come on, Jason is obviously struggling when it comes to having real relationships! Stupid ending in my opinion. I hope tomorrow redeems this season for me!

Lindsey said...

You do not disappoint! I didn't think you'd have your post up yet but I had to check. Jeff said you were pacing around. haha. I have to admit, I thought it was kind of endearing when Melissa asked for a second when he was proposing. I feel like she's so much more real. Obviously it doesn't matter what I think though. The one redeeming thing about Molly is that her first question after Jason told her was... what about Melissa?... it could've been scripted but it made me feel a little better about her. But seriously? pony tail the day you know you're going to be on tv and maybe proposed to??

Jennifer H. said...

What a horrible, awful JOKE!!!!!!! I wanna slap Jason's head right off his shoulders. Grrrrrr

Shannon said...

W T F?!?!?? I am livid w/ Jason right now and I find him to be a POOR POOR excuse for a man. Man up, Jason...what you SHOULD have done was NOT break up w/ Melissa on TV like that. You huge ass. The worst part of it was not the breaking up itself, but then begging Molly for another chance all in the same breath. Can you say emotional problems?

I think Melissa handled the situation w/ lots of class, personally. I would NOT have been that composed, that's for sure.

I can't wait for tonight...he will probably say he misses Jillian and wants her back.

Another great Bachelor entry, Joy!

O my heck, I admit that I didn't watch this season, but i did read your blog, so I made sure a taped last night and watched the last episodes, I couldn't stop thinkin about you and what your reaction would be.. But what do you expect from a show like this, they bring deAnna out right before and she gives him all those bizaar warnings, dude when else in life are you in love with 2 people when you propose? It's the Network's fault! They Jack up people for fun.

Erin Wittwer said...

Jason is such a loser. I can't say much else about it. I hope he realizes that there is no such thing has the fairy tale relationship. He is going to have to work if he wants to be happy. Ahhh what a LOSER! I am so MAD!

AnneMarie said...

Didn't it take you on a whirl wind of ups and downs?? I seriously felt like I'd been through an emotional roller coaster last night.

Jason is such a fool. How could he brake up with Melissa on TV!!!! I could die for her. I thought she was very classy, granted she did call him a bastered, but I would have pulled out some other choice words as too.

As for Molly, the BEST part of the show was her face. She looked STUNNED beyond believe. I'm glad for her happy ending but sick that she didn't give it some time before they swapped spit!

Tonight will be interesting!

Allison said...

I am still in shock!! Tonight should be really interesting. I am so sad for Melissa...urrggg!! Well at least Jillian got out of this mess early! I wonder how long Jason & Molly will last?!

Amanda, Jared and Camden said...

I am still distrought about last night. I don't even know what to say. I can't believe he did that on tv! I loved Melissa. I feel so bad for her. I was kinda hoping Molly would just tell him to shove it!Just so he was left with no one. That would have been awesome!!

Brooke said...

Deanna is partly at fault for offering Jason advice. She chose the wild card and told him not to do the same. Poor Melissa. I probably would have reacted the way she did. So disrespectful to break up with her on national television! Love your thoughts Joy. I too was wondering what was going through your mind! Haha!

Craig and Lynette Forbush said...

This episode really provided a coversation for Lynette and I. So, here was our impressions.

1) DeAnna was brought in by the producers. She moved to LA to pursue acting, and hasn't done anything. And last night you could tell why not....She was aweful it didn't look, feel, or seem sincere in the least bit. Not even a little to either of us. A) If I were to fly to New Zealand to try to break off someones engagement would I look like that? B) If I flew to New Zealand to break off an engagement would I take the rejection like that? C) If I flew to New Zealand to break up an engagement would I turn around and give him advice??? Come on from her reaction was she really expecting something to happen?

2) There is almost NO way to "win" in this show? I am sure Jason walked away going What if.... And I bet for the rest of his life he is going to go What if I had kept working with Melissa....Try putting yourself into Molly's shoes now(if things work out), for the rest of her life she is choice "B", and for Jason there will always be a lingering "what if"....

For a male that "what if" in this situation is just too strong.

3) The whole time that Jason has been on the Bachelor/ette no one has explained why he was divorced. I always felt bad for the Ex-wife that had to live with watching her Ex-Husband in these situation. BUT, last night proved who got the last laugh. Why is he divorced, because he doesn't have the guts to make a decision and keep working at it.

Did he really think there was going to be this magical experience that would take them past $50,000 a date dates that ABC paid for to normal life without a struggle?? I would have guessed that Jason's divorce and past Bachlorette experience would have given him the necessary intelligence and insight to know there was going to be an immediate drop in the attraction (primarly due to ambiance/TV production life), and that they would have to work through it to find a "real-life" relationship. But 6 weeks, come-on that's pathetic.


What a loser.

Karla Rauch said...

I am sure this has been said but I didn't have time to read others comments. It was totally scripted. It had to of been. If the girls didn't know about it, he did. It was his plan all along or ABC plan. To stir up drama, especially since this has been the most watched season. However he made himself look like a weenie... What a toole. I have no doubt that Melissa will be the next Bachlorette. It is one vicious cycle. I have to say I love the drama though...And that is why I still watch it!

Weston and Nicole said...

I'm also so bugged with Jason! I thought I liked him this whole time, but he's so hard to trust now. The "real world" is obviously going to be different, he should have thought about that before he proposed! I felt like the whole after-rose was part of a bad movie...something like the beginning of "Hope Floats" when Sandra thinks she's there for a makeover and her husband tells her he's having an affair with her best friend!

The Williams Family said...

I am seriously still so upset about this - it is pathetic. I can't believe how much I liked him through Deanna's season and all through this season and then out of no where he pulls some awful douche bag excuse of "the chemistry is gone". What a jerk - I lost all respect for him! Also what is Molly thinking??? Does she not see the huge freak flag waving in front of him. I wish she would have told him to shove it also. Loved Melissa though - what a doll. I think she handeled it SO well!

Kim said...

Joy joy I'm begging you to post something for me tonight. I have to work.

All I have to say is what an &*(*^^$#$%^ of a man. Come on you lousy excuse of manhood, on national TV???? I think he an Molly have been secretly seeing each other and were cheating on Melissa. I have doubts about watching the Bachelor next year if these are the type people who get a shot at love.

Amy & Wes said...

Joy,
I love your Bachelor posts, they are great, and sum up many of my feelings. Although now that I have been thinking about it more today, I am starting to wonder if it was all done for TV-if so, that sucks. But really, it all seemed a little strange-and pathetic. Jason must stop all of his crying, it sure got old. I was such a big fan the entire season (and last) of Jason, but now, not so much.

Sherwoods said...

Wow, I have heard so much about this. I really hope this random chick I count on so much uploads this to you tube. That is the only way us American-Mexicans can get this drama! I did have a slight hint he wasn't happy though last week when Chris asked him if he was happy. He got a really weird look on his face, and very hesitantly, said yes. Ahh, I can't wait!

Sarah & Trent said...

So glad you guys made it~ allll good! Hope Indiana treats ya well! Those Valentine pictures are priceless~ love em! And YAH I'm thinking the Bachelor is getting a bit too staged... they just have to make it more and more sensational every time!! Didn't see that coming.

Brie Wheelwright said...

This was the first time I watched it and the whole time I thought of you. I got really into it and I myself, couldn't believe what happened. Crazy. Miss you tons! Hope you're happy there.

StakerSensations said...

agree with you 100 percent!

Let the Good Times Roll said...

I read that this was the ending on a reality blog 2 weeks ago, but I was kind of wondering if it was really true. I agree I felt so bad for Melissa, she was so cute, and their proposal was darling I thought. I know you thought it was theatrical, but I thought it was so endearing. I thought it was tacky he broke up with her on tv, but of course she knew about it and agreed to it. In fact, she probably got paid for doing it. In all honesty, Melissa is way to cute for Jason, she'll have guys lining up to be with her. And Molly, I like her, I hope they are happy, but again - can she trust him?
