Yeah,  the FORTers are probably right about who Bachelor Jason picks based on moles, pinky rings, and screen capture analysis.  I think they are right and that is a foregone conclusion.  They picked the right rose winner Melissa after the first episode aired!

ABC has also milked this DeAnna thing forever.  The show she is on still hasn’t aired.  I thought it would be last week based on the preview episode.  I think she just makes a cameo appearance.

Then, there is  Reality Steve who “is in the know” knows even more than us.  Things that you won’t see or hear in the actual TV episode.  About a month ago, he announced that there was some jaw dropping exclusive news and that he would be spoon feeding us clues to make it fun.  About a million theories were put out there along with a million haters hating on Steve.  Was Reality Steve just trying to get hits on his blog or did he really know something?

He dropped the bomb last week instead of giving more clues.  I think it was triggered by ABC announcing there was going to be 2! final after the rose ceremony shows. Hmmm.   Reality Steve basically says that Bachelor Jason Mesnick does propose to Melissa Rycroft, dumps her, then hooks up with Molly Melaney.

Mlive interviewed Reality Steve:

So, we called Reality Steve, whose real name is Steve Carbone, a 33-year-old manufacturing sales rep based in Dallas who has done a little sports radio in Dallas and Los Angeles.

He said he was tipped off more than a month ago by someone who works closely with show that “The Bachelor” was going to take a dramatic twist.

On Wednesday, he posted three lengthy videos on his site, as well as a full explanation of his theory.

I tracked him down Wednesday afternoon, and I asked him point blank: Is this all speculation on your part?

“The fact is that ‘After the Final Rose’ ceremony, which was taped in January…. Jason dumps Melissa and starts a relationship with Molly,” he said. “I don’t know what was said or how it was done.”

Adding to his conspiracy theory, Steve said at some point in the process, everyone knew there was an immediate chemistry between Jason and Molly, and that producers were worried that it would not make for good television if he chose someone so early.

“He was told, if you want Molly, you’re going to have to pick Melissa, because we’re not going to show a nine-week season of you and Molly and a happy ending because that’s not what people want to see,” he said. “They want drama; they want conflict.”

And Melissa never saw it coming, he said.

“Melissa was a pawn in ABC’s game,” he said.

So the original FORTers’ spoilers with Melissa being picked as the winner is correct.  The Bachelor Jason surprise ending is that Jason breaks up with Melissa and hooks with Molly with the knowledge that this is preplanned or scripted.  This would make Jason look like a dog if it is true.  We will see if it is true in a couple of weeks.

Reality Steve:

The Bachelor Finale – Part 1

The Bachelor Finale – Part 2

The Bachelor Finale – Part 3

Some point during the season, it was established Jason and Molly were THE couple. I’ve been led to believe it was perfectly obvious to them that it was him and her, and Melissa was a distant 2nd. So what does the show do? Something they’ve never done before. They have the Bachelor dump his final one at the “ATFR”, and start dating the woman he dumped in the finale, which is Molly. But as you’ll see, I’m going to be right about everything else. So I find it incredibly believable, that Jason was approached with this scenario to generate, buzz, ratings, etc and he agreed to it. You ask what I couldn’t wrap my head around? Well, that Jason agreed to this. But hey, he was doing what he was told which would make for a bombshell of an ending to the season. Fleiss saying, “Just when you think it’s over, it’s not.” Well, here’s your proof. You’ll think it’s over when Jason proposes to Melissa in New Zealand, but its not since he dumps her two months later at the “ATFR” so he can start seeing Molly.

I feel horrible for Melissa. I really do. She was completely blindsided in this whole mess. She flys out to LA for an “emergency ATFR taping” (remember, the ATFR’s usually aren’t taped until a week before the finale airs. Why would they have to tape it in late January if the finale wasn’t airing til March 3rd? Because it was all part of the plan), at that taping, she’s thinking her fiance is going to tell her he’s over Molly 100%, but not only does she not hear that, and this is big, Jason has been SEEING Molly ever since the show stopped taping in November. That’s right. While he’s engaged to Melissa, he’s getting weekends with Molly on the weekends Melissa isn’t visiting Seattle. You can choose to believe that Jason just changed his mind after two months of dating Melissa and believe the ABC story. I’m here to tell you the reason he changed his mind, is because he was seeing Molly behind Melissa’s back.

So did Jason intentionally do that to Melissa knowing he was getting rid of her that whole time? Remember, I told you there was something I couldn’t wrap my head around? That was it. I had a hard time believing Jason would go along with this scenario, BUT EVERYTHING I’VE BEEN LED TO BELIEVE, says he has. Do I know for a fact? No. But I think its pretty clear what’s going on here. The guy just didn’t change his mind after dating Melissa for a couple months. This was a scenario put in place from the beginning of the season.
