The Bachelor Finale - Is there a conspiracy?


So we are a little more than one week away from finding out who Jason Mesnick aka The Bachelor picks to be his bride and new mommy for little Ty. Are you feeling like we are, that this has been one of the most boring runs of the series so far? Jason is just so lackluster and predictable and just so freaking blah! Sure, we had stalker girl who kept us on our toes. And Deanna's future visit to beg Jason to take her back will be great TV to watch. And lest we forget Naomi's entire family but now we have a whole new mystery to lure us back into wanting to watch the last few episodes. You see as I was checking my To Do list on the old DVR, I noticed that we are getting two, yes, TWO After the Final Rose specials. WTF???? Well, not one to let any stone go unturned, I just discovered what is really going on.

So for those of you who don't want to have the surprise ruined, do not read any further as there are spoilers aplenty! Consider yourself forewarned!

Per Reality Steve, it turns out that HandsomePete over on YouTube was on to something. Remember the brilliant video that Pete created that analyzed the previews from the season premiere to reveal Melissa's pinkie ring as the major indicator that Jason picked her. Well, according to Steve, he does indeed opt for Melissa over Molly but it wasn't to be happily ever after.

You see that suspicious second After the Final Rose special that I noticed showing up on my To Do list is a real humdinger. Jason called for a follow up special to do worse than DeAnna did to him, he breaks up with Melissa and announces he made a drastic mistake and that he's in love with Molly. How messed up is that? I like to see he's setting such a wonderful example for his precious little Ty to follow.

Of course, I am with Steve in thinking that this is ABC's scripted attempt to drum up some credibility for the show. After all, so far every seasons' couples' track record is abyssmal with not one of them still together. The only redeeming thing that could make this truly fan-freaking-tastic TV would be if after Jason dumps Melissa on national TV and then proclaims his faithful undying love for Molly, would be for Molly to slap him right across the face and leave but I very much doubt this will happen. It would on Rock of Love where at least the women are honest with why they are on the show. I have a bit more respect for the who'es over on VH-1, they portray who they really are unlike these prissy girls on the Bachelor who are all sweetness and light yet I have never seen one of them not refuse the shagfest that is the fantasy suite.

So to see how it all comes to fruition, tune into ABC on Monday, February 23rd for the first After the Rose special where I am sure we will be seeing all those cute moments that we might have missed and then on March 2nd watch the hypocrite in action as he breaks Melissa's heart. Gee, I guess we know who will be our next Bachelorette, huh?
