Well, I don’t know if it qualifies as the arts, but The Bachelor, on ABC, is definitely entertainment! I was home for the weekend and my mom is a huge fan of the bachelor, so of course I watched the big Monday night finale with her and was shocked! True to reality TV, it had twists and turns that were a first for the show. I sat there completely enthralled, despite the fact that I haven’t followed it all season long. It wasn’t even so much what happened on the show, as it was what happened after the show that was the biggest shocker. Yes, during the show, DeAnna Pappas, his ex from last seasons ‘the bachelorette’ made an appearance to stir things up. But it was on ‘After the final rose, part I’ where the drama happened. It was taped six weeks after the show wrapped. The Bachelor, Jason Mesnick, announced he’d made the wrong decision and picked the wrong girl! Melissa, the girl he originally picked, was shocked and even called him a ‘bastard’ on TV.
What’s even more shocking is Molly, the other woman, took him back! She said her feelings never changed and this
Molly, the runner-up
was a dream come true! What’s the dream? She’s sloppy seconds and pathetic for immediately taking him back. But whatever works for them I guess! After it aired Monday night, Mesnick defended his decision Tuesday morning on Good Morning America. ‘After the final rose, part II’ aired tonight and the happy couple (Molly and Jason) is still happy. She’s moving to Seattle, so it seems pretty serious. I still think the whole situation is bizarre. It’s doubtful that their relationship will last. The show only produced one successful marriage since its debut in 2002.
