Bachelor Shocker: Jason Mesnick Picks Melissa Then Molly

Bachelor Jason Mesnick broke many hearts on the season finale. (ABC Images)"]

Chris Harrison promised us the most dramatic season finale in Bachelor history and for once, he freakin' delivered. What started off as 25 women throwing themselves at the feet of unlucky-in-love single father Jason Mesnick, became a war between the cute Melissa Rycroft, a 25-year-old former Dallas Cowboy cheerleader, and department store buyer Molly Malaney from Grand Rapids, MI. But wait - producers have a sneaky twist up their sleeves - to reunite Jason with the woman who brutal rejected him on the last season of The Bachelorette, DeAnna Pappas.

Now if you didn't watch last season's drama, DeAnna brutally blinded-sided Jason, allowing him to almost propose before giving him the boot. Jason, whose previous wife had left him for another man, was so sure he'd won DeAnna's heart, he dropped to his knees to propose. Realizing he was about to pop the question, DeAnna grabbed his arm to pull him up. "No, I can't," she blurted.

DeAnna picked professional snowboarder Jessie Csinsak - and they're relationship was short-lived.

After introducing both Melissa and Molly to his family and his kid, Ty, Jason was obviously conflicted.

"Jason's taking this very seriously - he does not know what to do right now," Jason's mom, Irene Mesnick told cameras.

However, the return of Jason's reality show reject love was a brew. You could tell by the ominous change in weather patterns. DeAnna showed up to Jason's reality pad in New Zealand and rang the doorbell.

"If I chose you it would have worked, DeAnna told Jason. "If I could go back and would have followed what I wanted, I would have chose you."

She told him that he hadn't proposed to anyone yet, and that it's not too late for them. Jason didn't really decline or accept her offer - he just put her in a car and sent her on her way. Hooh raah!

When the limo finally pulled up, Molly stepped out wearing a deep purple gown.

"You are absolutely stunning and amazing," he said. "I don't know how I would ever let you go. But I have to."

"I just don't get it. I just don't get it. I just think you're making a huge mistake and you're going to end up hurt again," Molly said as Jason walked her out to the limo-o-shame.

When he proposed to Melissa, she jumped up and down when he finally told her he loved her.

"I'm going to be a Mesnick!" Melissa said before she, Jason and his son Ty jumped into the pool in their formal wear.

BUT - trouble was a brewin' again! The After the Final Rose Ceremony Show revealed that Jason and Melissa were not right for each other. Jason told Chris Harrison that since the cameras turned off, the chemistry has been completely different. Then he dropped the biggest bombshell EVAH! He told Chris that he couldn't get over Molly and that he was still in love with her.

Then, if that wasn't enough, Chris Harrison brought Melissa out on stage so Jason could break up with her on national TV. It was the most awkward half-hour of television in the history of television. Melissa called him a bastard and everything! To put the cherry on top of the shit sundae, the show brought Molly back so that Jason could beg for a second chance.

“I haven’t been able to stop thinking about you,” Jason told Molly in a long-winded, rambling speech. “My heart hasn’t let go.” He then asked her out for coffee. Yeah, it was weird.

Molly looked confused and kept looking over at Chris Harrison. "But what about Melissa?" Molly finally asked.

Jason launched into more rambling about what he'd just done was terrible, but that he didn't want to live with regrets, etc. Although Molly said she was confused, she added, “My feelings never went away. I think we can see where things go.”
