Jason Mesnick: Trista Sutter calls 'Bachelor' out for being fickle
Wow. Who would have thought that nice single father Jason Mesnick, who DeAnna Pappas rejected in favor of a pro snowboarder would turn out to be possibly the most-reviled Bachelor of all time?
Way to go Deanna. You dodged that bullet.
The same man who all-but sneered at DeAnna when she showed up during his final selection process to let him know that he still had a shot with her, turned around and dumped fiancee Melissa on national television and went running after his own second chance with runner-up Molly.
Trista Sutter -- nee Rehn -- the only successful marriage match thus far from The Bachelor/Bachelorette franchise tells momlogic.com that she can't imagine Molly being able to look past Jason's actions and for them to have a healthy relationship themselves.
"How can you trust him? I wouldn't trust what he is saying to me," Trista says. "He is obviously fickle."
Having spoken with the rejected Melissa, Trista calls the hard-to-watch happenings on the first After the Final Rose special "a blessing in disguise," believing that it frees up Melissa to go out and find someone who will fight to be with her above all others.
For the record, from an insider's point-of-view Trista feels that Jason was not forced to by the show's producers to break things off with Melissa and attempt to reunite with Molly in such a public forum.
"I think Jason definitely had a choice in how he broke off the engagement -- either publicly or in private."
I'm not saying that Jason should've dropped down on one knee and proposed - I think it was a rash decision, especially since he was so unsure of his choice until the last minute, BUT I can't imagine the pressure of the cameras and driving theme of the show (plus his hopes to find the right one and get engaged) to "close the deal" so to speak, on that day in New Zealand. We all saw how genuinely heartbroken he was when he said goodbye to Molly. He had to so quickly make a decision when I don't think he would've been ready to do so, off the show. Other than maybe rushing the proposal and the unfortunate repercussions of Melissa getting hurt, engagements break, chemistry changes, especially after the fancy dates and cameras go away -- he had to be true to himself, no matter how much he gets beat up now, as a result, by the press.
I'm sorry, but it looks as though, by both Jason and Melissa's faces when they walked onto the set of "After the Final Rose" that they both knew it was over - its not like he threw it at her from nowhere. Things changed and he's trying to be honest and not drag things on for the purpose of what, hurting her more in the long run? Also, if he truly was thinking so much about Molly after her departure, I absolutely think he was right in asking her for another chance. If you love someone, you love them. Many people make decisions, break-up, regret it and try to work things out. He's just getting such a bad wrap for doing it on tv. Well, Melissa and Molly signed up for a very public, emotional show, sometimes it just doesn't end up pretty. Jason - I truly wish you love and luck with Molly - you seem great together - and sorry you are getting so beat up over your decisions. :)
Truthfully I do not think Jason did anything wrong. I said the whole time I couldn't see him with Melissa bc she acted to immature for her age and I feel that she did not want to be tied down with having a husband and a kid at 25 years old. I think she wanted to party. Even though she said she is done with all of that lifestyle, you can say whatever you want on camera for all America to believe. I think everyone should give Jason a break bc he was following his heart by getting rid of Melissa. He wanted to best for him and his family. I am so happy Molly took him back. I hope things work out for the best for them. I just hope that America finds out what happens bc they may want to keep everything private now that the show is over.
I think Jason seems to be a sincere nice guy. It was obvious that he was in love with both of them. If things were not working with Melissa, and he was still in love with Molly, then I think he did the right thing in breaking it up when he did. Maybe not on national TV would have been a better choice. Lets face it, this is not the first and won't be the last marriage engagement to be broken off. These things happen. I feel bad for Melissa, but if this is how Jason felt, then it would not have been fair to either of them to stay together. I hope Jason and Molly are happy together.
Please Trista, just go away...
I think that Jason is such a jerk. He shouldn't broke up with Melissa on TV the way he did. I just don't know how you can be in love with someone and just break it off so quick. Melissa is so pretty and sweet and I beleive that she can find the right person for her. I also think that she needs to be on the next bachelorette. Jason you r such a jerkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.
What an unbelievable show to watch. Jason is confused and definitely is havig a great of difficulty finding love. He has been hurt in the past, so that probably does not help, but to do the breakup so publicly is tough. He needs time away of the lights and glamour to decide if Molly is right for him. I personally think that she is also too young for him. Her interest seem more in line with his, but I am not sure she is ready for an instant family. That is not easy at her age. I wish them luck and hope they are able to relax and figure out if they are right for each other. I don't think Jason is sure yet.
This show is an absolute farce and a eway for the networks to put a huge and total spin on the proceedings. DeAnna lowering herself to go back with this guy and what did Molly actually know versus what she is leading all the viewers to believe? This is the father of a 7-year old and has a degree in psychology? I think this guy needs to therapy sessions in the worst way and should have had his kid pick his new stepmom and probably would have made a wise choice, but please! Cancel this crap once and for all!
Molly should RUN - not walk to put as much space between herself and this creep as possible. He is a Loser with a capital L. I can't help but wonder if he handles all of the important elements of his life with such a cavilar attitude - what kind of example is he setting for his son? My mama used to say "good manners and good sex make the world go round but good manners come first"
Give him a break!! Melissa was an idiot! It's just bad he didn't realize that before he dumped Molly!!
Molly was the right one all along! AND how cl***y of her NOT to say "I told you so!"
Melissa acted like the immature air head she is, I don't know what Jason saw in her in the first place!
I second that TRISTA PLEASE GO AWAY!!!!...
