Watching Sitcoms

For anyone who was smart enough not to waste their time watching three hours of The Bachelor last night, I can tell you that Reality Steve was right. The show went down just as he said it would. Honestly, I didn’t bother watching the first hour and 40 minutes. I tuned in just in time to see Jason dump Molly and propose to Melissa.

Then the real fun began at the After the First Rose Show. After being able to see the girls’ faces during the ATFR show, I’m going to revise my opinion. Melissa was probably not in on this for the whole time, but she clearly knew what was happening when she showed up on the couches with Jason and Chris. All you have to look at is the set of her mouth to know that she was already really angry. She knew what was about to happen and she was mad that it was happening to her.

As for Molly, at first I was thinking that she truly did look surprised when she found out what happened, so I thought maybe, maybe there was a chance that she and Jason had not communicated. But the more I watched her, the more I was certain it was all a put on. I’ll tell you why. For one thing, her surprise, while at first was believable, was just too drawn out. Like, methinks the lady doth protest too much, if you know what I mean. Then, she was saying that she had only dreamed that Jason would come back to her and tell her he made a mistake.

Really? Really? Are pretty young girls so deparate for love that they honestly feel this way. Cause if he had done that to me, left me just six weeks before, telling me on national TV that he was in love with another woman, I’d have been dreaming he’d get run over by a bus. I’m fairly certain I would not take him back, or at least not so quickly and easily. It was just so pat. She kept saying that’s still have to talk more and she needed some answers, but she was all touchy, feely and kissy with him. Talking and touching would not be what I was after at that point, but maybe some groveling would be a good start. Plus, why would you be kissing a guy you haven’t spoken to in six weeks when he literally just broke off his engagement to another women mere seconds ago?

And honestly, would you still be in love with a guy who dumped you six weeks later. Maybe I’m a shallow sort of person, but I think I’d have moved on at that point. I mean, their entire relationship was barely six weeks long altogether and she shared him with lots of other girls. Could she really have fallen in love deeply enough in that time to still be in love now even after he dumped her and has been engaged to another women? All of that makes me feel fairly certain that Jason and Molly were definitely still in touch during that six weeks of his engagement to Melissa.

Then, there was Jason, trying to make all that he did seem acceptable by saying that if Ty asked him for advice in this situation he’d tell him to follow his heart. Which is clearly the loser’s way of saying, do what ever you want if it makes you happy regardless of whose feelings get hurt along the way. Is this the lesson he wants to teach his son? Beyond all that, Jason cries more than anyone has a right to when they are being the jerk. I kept wanting to tell him to man up and stop being such a wuss.

Honestly, I don’t know what either girl ever saw in the guy. As I said before, I expect we’ll be hearing of Jason’s breakup with Molly before too long.
