Trista Sutter Voices Her Thoughts On The Bachelor Shocker
By now, I'm sure you've heard about the big Bachelor shocker (whether you watch the show or not). If you haven't, the quickest of recaps: the bachelor, Jason Mesnick, proposed to Melissa, one of two "finalist" for his heart, on the season finale, only to change his mind on the After the Final Rose show last night, break up with her on television, and ask for another chance with the woman he rejected during the season finale, Molly.
Got all that? Good. Former Bachelorette (and Bachelor contender) Trista Sutter has no qualms about giving her two cents about the whole debacle.
'How could you go from being engaged to someone to kissing someone else on the couch?!' Trista tells momlogic.com. 'He doesn't deserve to walk away scot-free.
I said [to Melissa], 'I'm proud of the way you handled it.' She deserves so much
better! Melissa hasn't been able to say anything about this until now,
so I think she's relieved. I am happy she can finally move on. As far
as I'm concerned, this is a blessing in disguise. Now she can find
someone who truly loves her.' "
And that's not all. She has some advice for Molly.
'He is obviously fickle,' she tells momlogic.com 'He didn't want to
fight for the relationship between he and Melissa. He gave up. If you
have such strong feelings for someone, at least give it a chance before
making such a big decision.' "
On one hand, I think Trista has a point. On the other, if it's not working out (and you're contractually obligated to make your feelings known on live television, as Jason claims), then it's better to end things, right?
Looking for love on television is not for the faint of heart.

That guy is such a scumbag

Don't feel bad for anyone invloved. You sign up to be on a reality show this is what happens. You know you might be made a fool of. So you take that chance. I think Melissa also had an idea the relationship was not working, she did not look to stuned to me.

I've never seen this show but a friend said that he had his kid on there? Like involved a young child in this disgusting crap? :(
This season's Bachelor is a dog with a capital D. It was sad to see him dump his fiancee on tv. What a jerk!

I had never seen any of the Bachelors before this and, because of this asshat, I won't watch it again. What he did was horrible.
Contractually obligated to break up with her on TV? I don't think so.
Besides, the After the Rose show was filmed only 6 weeks after he proposed. I believe everything Reality Steve is saying about how the producers told Jason to pick Melissa and then dump her for Molly.
Grow a spine, Jason.

the guy is scum...regardless of being "contractually obligated" he could have broken up with her outside of TV as have all the other bachelors! how many of these relationships have lasted- they break up and no else did it on national TV!

This is so freaking dumb. Who the hell goes on national tv to find real love? A famewhore? I just get the feeling this was all for TV. But, on the off chance it isn't, I have to say that if something is not working out, it is better to let the person know whether than drag it on. If more people in marriages/relationships did that, instead of carrying on affairs, it would cause a lot less pain for everybody involved. At the same time, it is disgusting that someone would dump another person on TV and then kiss on someone else not three seconds later. I don't know who this chick is but she should count her blessings. Btw, what kind of father would bring his child into this mess? If you want to whore yourself out, fine. But leave your child out of it.

I agree that the concept of this show is pretty rediculous. I've always been amazed that women or men would go on a show to win the love of one single person they have never met before and it always seems like most of them develop feelings for the bachelor/bachelorette. What are the chances? Blah.
OMG, THEY ( MELISSA & JASON) WERE ENGAGED FOR WHAT?, A COUPLE OF WEEKS!! SHIT, THE GUY REALIZE HE DID NOT WANT TO BE W/ ANNOYING MELISSA!
GOOD FOR HIM! I THINK HE MADE THE RIGHT CHIOCE. I APPLAUDE HIM FOR NOT DRAGGING THE ENGAGMENT AND THEN END UP BREAKING UP W/ HER IN THE LONG HALL. YOU PEOPLE ARE SO PATHETIC ON HOW BAD YOU THINK HE IS FOR FOLLOWING HIS HEART! UNFREAKIN BELIEVEABLE! GET THE F**K OVER IT! OH, WAIT YOU WANTED HIM TO GET MARRIED AND BE MISRABLE FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE? RIGHT, WELL TO BAD.
The worst thing about the show is that this jerk got his little boy involved. He should be ashamed of himself. I'm surprised the boy's mother even allowed it.
I can’t believe how vicious people are toward Jason. It was obvious to me that he tried to make the best decision possible, only to realize later that he’d made a mistake. We’ve ALL been there, people. He didn’t want to hurt anyone. It is unfortunate that he couldn’t break up with Melissa privately, but he WAS bound to a contract. He would have been foolish to stay with Melissa just because he’d proposed. The consequences of that would have been far more damaging.
Hey
Stop being whining all over this. I supported Jason's decision. That's his choice and he followed his heart. It has to be with Melissa's PARENTS and they don't want to be part in his life and making Jason miserable, who knows. He is in love with Molly, so let them go and see what happens, if they don't succeed, then leave them alone. That is that. Get over it. People fall in love then broke up all the time. People make mistakes. Its a part of life. So once again, stop whining about it and get over it.
