RSS'The Bachelor': The women tell all!
Previously on The Bachelor... Jason got hot n' heavy with Jillian, Melissa and Molly in New Zealand and then he sent sweet, awesome Jillian packing. Tonight, instead of a finale, we get Jason's "candid" thoughts, never-before-seen clips, dishing with the rejected bachelorettes and couples from seasons past.
First we have Chris and Jason one-on-one. Megan the Nutjob and Shannon the Snotty Kisser are the first topics of conversation. Jason tries to be PC and talk about how nice they are. It's okay, Jason. Tell us how you really feel. They're crazy.
We then relive Stephanie's daughter's visit (cute and heart-tugging), the trip to the Addams Family Naomi's house (creepy and weird), Jason's hottub romp with Jillian (nearly x-rated), and Molly's walk of shame (probably not as bad as the editing would have us think).
There are some "bloopers" next. And I say "bloopers" because they are neither funny nor particularly crazy. In the "blooper" from Seattle where Ty won't go to bed, Jason makes the comment that "there are times when they are real people." My viewing partner and friend Alyssa says, "And there are times when I just use them as slaves." These "bloopers" are just... unfunny and painful.
There is now a Trista and Ryan retrospective. They met on the show, they got married on TV and they have a kid. Good for them. Ryan is a firefighter for the Vail, Colorado FD and they have an 18 month-old named Max. Trista is also pregnant with a little girl and, by the looks of it, is due any day now. By the way, Trista looks SOOOO much better with brown hair.
Back in the studio, Chris introduces Charlie and Sarah, a couple from a few years ago. They broke up after the show, but got back together a year ago. Sarah cites his alcohol abuse as part of the problem, but he says he's been sober for two years. Well, good for him. I mean that in all sincerity, but I'm so boredzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
There is now a clip show of a get-together of rejected guys from Deanna's Season and girls from Matt's season at some kind of lodge. The word "threesome" is tossed around, as is "incestuous." Oh dear. Holly from Matt's season is apparently now with Jesse, Deanna's reject. Awesome. Noelle from Matt's season is now dating Fred from Deanna's season. This is just... like a Real World/Road Rules challenge. Apparently if you go on a reality TV show, you get to go to all these reunion gatherings. It's like high school.
We're back in the studio with the rejected Bachelorettes. Shannon is still a loony, Stephanie is still gracious (though she does has some ridiculous hair), and then we get a clip show of the girls being territorial and catty. The girls in the studio launch into on-camera sniping and fighting. Natalie and Erika are particularly vocal. I'm surprised Shannon doesn't need to leave the room and throw up.
Natalie's segment is next. We get to see Natalie go all classy and bleep-filled in the limo and then Megan and Nikki take a turn laying into her. Let's just put the three of them in a blow-up pool and make them wrestle in baked beans. I had to do that once at summer camp. It's gross and it never comes out of your swimsuit, no matter how many times you wash it.
Jillian gets her turn on the hot seat next. She's so great, I love her. I think the next Bachelorette should be either Stephanie or Jillian. I don't want to see either Molly or Melissa as the next Bachelorette, frankly. Jillian is emotional while reliving her rejection in New Zealand. She's a total sweetheart and she's searching for her best friend. I've said since my junior year of high school that your husband should be your best friend who you also want to sleep with. I just found mine. You'll find yours, Jillian.
Jason comes back to "face the women." Jillian and Naomi are sweet to him, but then he has a nice moment with Stephanie saying that they will be friends forever and that he respects her so much. She really is a great lady.
Blooper Reel. Naomi smells, Jillian has to pee, Molly/Melissa/Jillian bath time, Melissa gets chased by a bee, Molly goes Mary Poppins, Jillian's top falls down, Jason's horse goes nuts, and the bathtub farts. Oh, the hilarity!
There is now a Melissa and Molly Retrospective. It boils down to both girls are pretty and both are ready for marriage and both Jason likes them both a whole lot. WHO WILL HE CHOOSE?!?!
On the finale, Jason brings Ty to New Zealand to meet Melissa and Molly and they both get to meet Jason's parents and brothers. Both girls are in love with him. WHO WILL HE CHOOSE?!?!

jillian Harris where did you get your beautiful watch? We all want to know.
If its possible, I think I liked Jillian even more so after tonight. Jason, you made a big, big mistake but not choosing her. Of course that said, she is obviously going to be much better off without him when everything is said and done.
And what person in their right mind doesn't want their spouse to be their best friend as well as their lover?? Jason just seemed to be completely oblivious to that and didn't seem to realize that you can (and should) have both with the person you marry. It's no wonder he's divorced, Deanna didn't choose him and that him & whoever he chooses will most likely end up broken up before the start of summer.
Jillian is great but being great is not the same as having chemistry. I think Jillian talks too much for a guy like Jason. He seems to like women who come across having a softer and sweeter side. Had he and Jillian met in another setting, they might be able to take the time to have that chemistry grow, but not here on TB. They might be right for one another, but the context within which they met did not work for the best of them both.
how could jason have "made the wrong decision?" if he's not feeling it with a girl, he's not feeling it...just because you like her on an edited television show doesn't mean he has to reciprocate.
I thought Jillian was just awesome tonight, and throughout the entire season. There is no question her and Jason had a great relationship, but if he just didn't feel it, then he didn't. Best friend's or not...they guy has to live with his wife for life and he should know better than anyone what he wants and likes. I do however, think and hope Jillian should be the next Bachalorette for sure. Unfortunately, I just don't know if ABC would be willing to allow that next role go to a Canadian woman. I hope so...because she would be great, but it wouldn't surprise me. As for who Jason picks...I really believe it will be Melissa and I think there is more chemistry between those two. But I am sure he did whatever was right for him, and Ty, no matter what any of the rest of us think...it is his life after all. I hope all involved will end up being very happy.
As a bisexual woman, I wanna share my ideas with you just as those I have put on the bisexual dating site forum (bimingle...com). How we ladel our sexuality is a problem at first. Others don't think women should not be bisexual. Then we are easy to affected by others. But women do really would like to experiment with both sex relationships. That's true.
urk. Can someone delete the spammer's comment?
I had heard that Jesse (from Deanna's cast) and Holly (from Matt's cast) were dating...so I'm glad they put in that little clip of the past shows getting together. When Shane (Shayne?) commented that is was bleeping something or other...it seemed like she was just jealous. Hahaha I guess she felt like she missed out since things didn't work with her and Matt.
Jillian and Stephanie are so cl***y.
I thought it was great when Jillian called out Jason...when he said that (after he kissed melissa for the first time) he hadn't had a kiss like that in a long time.....when he had just kissed Jillian the night before. ouch.
Erika and Megan are still drama queens.
Natalie proved to the world that no, it was not just the editing. She really is a total stuck up b*tch.
Jason, Jason, Jason . . .
I don't think he has a clue what he wants in a woman. Jillian is his "best friend" and that isn't good enough, but he likes Melissa who reminds him of his ex-wife and Deanna?!?!
I also find it interesting that Naomi was too young for him and needed to live her life more, but Molly is the same age as Naomi and Melissa is only a year older. It seemed to me that it was her job as a flight attendant that was the real problem.
Then when Naomi and Jillian got to talk to him they said he was probably right?! Why doesn't someone say you made the biggest mistake of your life?
I don't get it at all, doesn't he have a degree in Psychology? And yet he can't figure out that yes, Jillian does want a best friend, but a best friend with benefits. All he does is say "I want something more" yeah like a girl that reminds you of past failed relationships, that's what you want.
As usual I feel like the girls that aren't picked are the lucky ones, because it isn't going to last anyway.
I had to laugh. Let's check in on Trista and Ryan - the ONLY couple to ever get married from the 17 or so attempts at getting people hitched. They seemed to cling to this as an example - this show actually worked!
When Jason pulled the "friend card" on Jillian, I had to laugh. They did not look like "just friends" when they were in the hot tub together in New Zealand! I'd like to see Jillian as the next Bachelorette.
