Here's the recap in case you've been under a rock...Jason, father of 3 year-old Ty, is the Bachelor this season. It got down to the final 2 ladies, Melissa and Molly. He ends up proposing to Melissa and sending Molly home. Fast forward 3 months...he decides he messed up and wants to be with Molly. So, in front of cameras, he breaks up with Melissa and then asks Molly for a second chance. She is reluctant, but agrees.
Now, I do not like that it was all done on camera. That part I whole-heartedly disagree with. It was hard to watch and I can only imagine what it must have been like in that studio. I don't know if it was because of a contractual thing with Jason and ABC or what, but that was low. Other than that, I kinda understand where Jason was coming from.
Jason felt that he was making the right decision at the time. Haven't you ever been under pressure and HAD to make a decision or felt really conflicted about something? He gave it a shot with Melissa but then realized he made a mistake. Not that Melissa doesn't have a right to be mad, but I'd rather him ditch me now then after we were married and really attached to Ty, you know??? And you can't tell me she was surprised he broke it off. Did you see when she walked onto stage? They were obviously not in love and she was not thrilled to be there.
As for the idea of it all being faked. I don't believe it. That was pure shock on Molly's face when Jason told her he wanted another shot. She said she still had doubts and questions, but of course she wanted to try again. She loves him! He made a mistake. He's not an axe-murderer!! And if Jason was "faking it" the whole time in New Zealand, than he was pouring on the water-works like nobody's business! I say give the boy an Oscar and an agent, cuz he's got a career in acting.
Call me crazy, but that's my take on it all.

I didn't watch a lick of this season until the finale, but I agree with you. If the people casting stones at Jason can all say they never realized mistakes and changed up their decisions real quick, they are lying. I'm with you. I posted about it. Well, not about IT...but about watching it.
Yeah, I'm not sure what to think about it all... I just feel badly for Melissa... poor girl... Hope Jason & Molly are happy becaue if that doesnt work out, he's REALLY going to look like a jerk!!!
Hopefully you are right. I still don't like him but eh. Hopefully they will work things out and be happy because there is a child involved!
I only watched the clips but I have to say I didn't buy it (not that it was staged) but that he had made a mistake or had a change of heart. I think he just had a case of grass is greener. Who hasn't had a case of that?
