Quick capsule summary of last night's 2 hour finale: It's down to two women, Cheerleader Melissa and Midwestern Molly. Both women profess true love. The witch from last season comes to New Zealand and gets in Jason's head. Jason rejects the independent, more-mature Molly. Jason cries like his dog died. Jason makes the "safe" pick and proposes to the cheerleader.
Now it got interesting. The show became like Lost. We fast forward to 6 weeks after the indecent proposal to Melissa to an empty television studio with an abundance of roses. The question became when are we rather than where are we. Jason came out looking like he had an announcement to make. Is someone dying? Did he get the rejected girl pregnant?
We quickly got our answer. Jason made the wrong choice based on Deanna's advice. Millions of American views agree all at once that Jason is a complete douchebag (Sidenote: I got three separate text messages literally calling him a douchebag).
Jason then quickly turned "After the Final Rose" into Jerry Springer. Melissa angrily took off her ring, called him a bastard, and spoke in the third person. There was even a shot of Melissa walking through the back halls of the studio. Great work ABC!
Molly comes out. She's still not over Jason! Hooray! From 2000 miles away, she gets to date the most indecisive, spineless Bachelor in history.
We hold these truths to be self-evident:
1) Ty looks like a Mogwai.
2) Melissa would be the perfect nanny.
3) New Zealand is rainy (why didn't the rain stop the fires of Mordor?).
4) If Jason says you're "amazing," that's a kiss of death.
5) Molly has really good F YOU eyes.
6) Bachelor background music ringtones would be a big seller.
7) Melissa thinks Melissa got screwed.
8) Melissa's parents must be crazy.
9) Chris Harrison is an emotional rock.
10) Jillian is the next Bachelorette, not Melissa.

Where do we begin? I agree with you 100% on multiple areas of your post. As another faithful watcher, we know the "most romantic date ever" "most surprising rose ceremony ever" "most difficult choice ever" gets a little old. However, this truly was "the most dramatic season ever." Or at least end.
ReplyDeleteThe "good guy" Jason's image really took a hit with this season. He could have been "single father" Jason who got dumped by DeAnna and scored a lot of women over the next 10-15 years.
Just accepting the invitation to be on the show was a sign he could be douchy. Then, when he dumped Jillian, major flaws were shown. He dumped the emotionally stable, mature, cute girl to go after the preppy midwestener or the cheerleader.
Wonderful Ending drama-wise and looking forward to next season already.
