The Most Dramatic Ending in Bachelor History. Truly.

Ok, people. Let's talk about The Bachelor. First of all, let me start by saying that I am fully aware that this is not quality television at it's finest. However, this Bachelor watching tradition started in college. As much as I try, I just can't give up the habit, despite a couple of breaks. For example, when they brought out Prince Lorenzo I said no way am I going to watch that season. That's just ridiculous! And I don't think even I could take all the drama that would entail competing for a prince...if that's even what he really was.

Now before you start judging me, you should know that I truly see this as another opportunity to be thankful for my husband and the wonderful relationship we share. We don't need fancy trips to New Zealand or Goodyear blimp rides to make our relationship work, because we know that's just not reality. It would appear that these couples tend to forget that little fact along the way. Maybe it's all that champagne that clouds their judgement...

But anyway. Back to last night's finale. It's no secret that my favorite was Melissa. I mean, who doesn't love a southern, Texas girl?! Molly was ok. I will admit that she did have some amazing eyes. Or was it just all the eyeshadow she was wearing? I don't know. Either way, I was rooting for Melissa so you can imagine my excitement when she was the second one out of the limo. This excitement was slightly dampend by the "shocking twist" that was coming up in the After the Final Rose show.

And what a shocking twist it was! Jason, being the classy guy he is, told Melissa on national television that not only was he calling off their engagement but was, in fact, still thinking about Molly. Constantly. His reasoning for all of this was that "their chemistry, their conversations, and their time time together were completely different after the show." To which I say, OF COURSE ALL OF THAT WAS DIFFERENT! Despite the fact that they call it reality television, it is not reality! At some point, you will return to a budget that does not include trips to amazing places and all the champagne you can consume. Not to mention the little guy, also known as your son, that depends on you for his every need. Sometimes that just makes a relationship a little different than when it's just the 2 of you. I especially liked the part when he told Chris that he didn't want to have any regrets and wanted to live in the moment. So what you're saying, Jason, is that you don't regret the way you treated Melissa in front of millions of viewers? Yeah. That's what I thought.

To my shock, Molly actually took him back! Here's what I have to say about that:

Dear Molly,
Don't get too excited. The fact that he thought his relationship was different with Melissa after the show means that the same could be true with you in his mind.
Good luck with that,
Aimee

So in conclusion, I would like to say that for now The Bachelor, or more importantly, Jason is dead to me. Because let's be honest, as much as I would like to say that I'm done with this show, I'm sure I'll be sucked in the next time they introduce another bachelor or bachlorette.
