The Bachelor: Jason Proposes, But Does He Mean It?
Recap by RTVC Senior Staff Writer Jenny Lane
March 3, 2009
Last week on The Bachelor, Jason, Molly, Jillian and Melissa headed to New Zealand. Jillian and Jason went for a helicopter ride, had a picnic with a view, and an intimate dinner. After dinner, they spent the night in the “fantasy suite,” where we saw a heavy makeout session in the hot tub. Jason wanted their relationship to move to a more romantic level, and it looked like he got his wish.
Molly and Jason went bungee jumping, had a casual lunch, and another intimate dinner. Molly opened up to Jason, and admitted that she is falling in love with him. They too spent the night together, and Jason seemed reassured by everything Molly said to him.
Melissa and Jason went on a boat ride, followed by a soak in a hot tub, and a romantic dinner in the city. They talked quite a bit about not meeting her family. While it did seem to still bother Jason, he decided to focus on Melissa rather than her parents for now. Melissa tells Jason that she is in love with him, and she’s the first girl to do that. The others admitted that they were falling for him, but Melissa put it all on the table. Melissa’s words seemed to help Jason forget about the problems with her parents, and they headed off to spend the night together.
Before the rose ceremony, Jason watched video messages that the girls made for him. They all thanked him for being him, and told him how wonderful he is. Melissa professed her love for Jason again, and this time Molly corrects what she said earlier, and says that she is in fact in love with him.
At the rose ceremony, Jason kept Melissa and Molly, and sent Jillian packing. He told her that he didn’t think he could keep up with her adventurous side, and that he also needed more than the best friends that she wanted them to be. Jillian told him that he misjudged things, and that she was only adventurous because she hadn’t found the right person yet. As she drove away, Jillian declared that the other girls don’t have anything on her, and she was the right person for Jason.
Tonight, the finale is finally here, and we’ll see if all of the rumors are indeed true. From reading the messageboards, if the rumors are true, it looks to me like ABC did more harm than good with this one.
Tonight’s finale begins with the obligatory promises of “the most dramatic Bachelor finale in history,” followed by scenes of him frolicking with both women in New Zealand. I’m puzzled by Jason’s comment about Molly, “she’s like oxygen, you can’t get enough,” because it seems to me that there is a point at which you have plenty of oxygen.
Jason tells us that he’s about to see Ty, and then he does that girlie run when he sees Ty playing on the beach. They run towards each other, and Jason pulls Ty to the sand just like Stephanie and her daughter did. Except of course that Stephanie’s daughter raced towards her, and Ty kind of jogged a slow jog to Jason! They play football and climb rocks on the beach. Then Jason tells Ty that he has “met two new friends, and their names are Molly and Melissa.”
The next day, Jason is standing near a field. Melissa comes running down the adjacent road, squealing with delight as she sees him. He twirls her around in his arms and kisses her, and then they sit down by the road to talk about meeting Ty. Melissa says she’s worried about meeting him, and hopes it goes well.
Jason says they’re going to.....
