A trainwreck for national television!
Last night, I tuned in to the finale of The Bachelor. Let me preface this by saying I am not a devout watcher of the show. I saw the first episode and the last two. I can only take about thirty seconds of the poppy, saccharine-sweet, catty girls on the show and I'm done. I was convinced he was going to bring Jillian back and pop the question to her but certainly was not prepared for him dumping Fiance' Du Jour #1 on national television, only to turn around and suck face with Option #2 five minutes later! The original girl, Melissa, was a little too perky for me but she seemed sincere. She did seem to show amazing composure when he dropped the doozie. "I know I said I love you and all that other heart warming crap but I'm really just not that into you!" I think she was totally right by calling him a bastard. I'm guessing she probably had a whole other slew of choice four-letter words for him but being that America was sitting on their edge of their seats watching this trainwreck, she had to show some class and keep it at that. Everyone already feels bad for you...don't go psycho on us and justify Jason's reasons for kicking your rear to the curb.
Then to bring Molly out (aka Plan B), totally bait her by asking if she still has feelings for him and would she take him back. Cruel but you gotta keep the ratings up! I have no idea how the host kept it together. I would be picking my jaw off the floor, gasping, slapping hand over mouth, "oh no he didn't-ing", etcetera etcetera. But that is why I'm not a TV host. She did look like she was caught in the middle of the world's worst joke when Jason dropped the tidbit of the night. But what kills me is she was soooo quick to take him back! Argh! Seriously, have a little dignity girl! At least take him back off camera. You're only showing us that it's okay to be the sloppy seconds.
It totally could've turned Springer...especially if they'd brought Molly out at the same time! Apparently there's a Part 2 on tonight and I'm curious to see how they can outdo themselves this time. Sadly, I will be tuning in.
