Jason who? "The Bachelor's" most famous jilted contestant Melissa Rycroft may get her shot at marital bliss after all.

Rycroft said "yes" to her boyfriend, now fiancee, Tye Strickland last Friday, June 26, when he proposed in Southlake, Texas, reports People.

The former "Dancing With the Stars" contestant knew Strickland before she met and had her heart broken by "Bachelor" Jason Mesnick. She and Strickland, a Dallas insurance agent, dated on and off for more than two years.

Rycroft, 26, was devastated when Mesnick broke off their engagement in front of millions of viewers on the "After the Final Rose" special in March so he could date the other lady he had jilted instead.

That's when Strickland, 28, came back into the picture. He appeared several times in the "Dancing" audience to support her, and she eventually finished as the second runner-up.

I am so happy that in the end Melissa really did WIN! Not only did she get that loser Jason out of the picture, even if it caused her a bit of embaressment and tears, she rose above it! She did DWTS and did awesome and looked great, then found a guy who really deserves her! And look...she got engaged BEFORE Jason and Molly anyhow! Congrats! Go Melissa, check out the pics and info here:

her fiance was probably her bf the whole time. c'mon ppl, catch a clue...it's scripted!

but anyway, she was good on DWTS (although she was not my fave).
