CHESSNOID

Both the host Chris Harrison and Bachelor Jason Mesnick are lying in my opinion and inconsistent with their answers about Jason and Molly not having contact with each other.  The leaked emails and Melissa’s interview on the Ellen show confirms it all for me.   I just read about it and it is obvious it was pre-planned for ratings.  Bachelor Jason didn’t have to break up in public and continues to lie.  GMA:

Mesnick said the official breakup was on TV because the agreement with the show was that everything “would be done in front of the cameras.”

“I hated it,” he told Kimmel. “If I could of done it in person with her one on one, of course, that’s the right thing to do.”

Mesnick also told People magazine that he had no choice but to break up with Rycroft on camera, because it was “part of the deal. I signed up for it in my contract.”

But Harrison disputed that.

“Well, first of all, unless we’re in the old, you know, Soviet Union, I don’t think you have to do anything,” Harrison said. “There is no contract that says you have to get married. We have had people break up on this show. … We’ve done it all.”

“He didn’t have to do anything he didn’t want,” Harrison continued, referring to Mesnick. “He didn’t have to propose to Melissa in the first place. These were all choices that Jason made in his life. Uncomfortable, regrettable, whatever they are.”

The genuine big surprise, Harrison said, was that Mesnick and Malaney were getting together. “And I think that was the bombshell that really set it off that day,” he said.

Harrison said Malaney did not know that Mesnick was going to profess his love for her.

“Molly kept looking at me to wonder if this was real. She thought — she really couldn’t assimilate what was going on, and that speaks to the fact she had no idea when she walked on that stage what was going to happen,” Harrison said.
