The Next Bachelorette is . . .

The next Bachelorette is Jillian Harris, one of the three finalist on this past season of "The Bachelor" with Jason Mesnick.

With the dramatic ending of "The Bachelor", I was so blinded by my anger towards Jason, that I didn't talk about the announcement of the next season.

Jillian seemed like an obvious choice for the next Bachelorette. The only reason it's surprising is because they have always chosen the runner-up, not someone who didn't make it to the finale. Whatever their reason's are, it was a good choice. 

The next season of "The Bachelorette" is coming sooner than I thought and I'm excited to watch this down-to-earth interior designer from Canada fall in love. Get ready because it premieres May 18 on ABC. 

Fabulous 'Beer Pong' Molly vs. Sweet, Sincere 'Cheerleader' Melissa

I interviewed a fellow television addict, Sara McIntosh, the creator of "The Bachelor" Facebook group.

The popular group currently has almost 400 members. As an obsessed fan, whose never missed an episode, and with this season's shocking ending, she was not shy about her opinion of the distasteful conclusion.

When did you start "The Bachelor" group and why?

I started this group like right before the season premiere this season (with
Jason). I started it because I know there was a small group of us that would
like to gossip about what happened. The group started out with just my
mother-in-law and me, then a few of our friends and family joined, and now
there's over 100 people! I couldn't believe that!

Whose your favorite girl this season and favorite Bachelor/Bachelorette (past or present) and why?

I loved Stephanie! I think any man would be lucky to have her. Stephanie and
Melissa were my favorites from the start. As far as Bachelor/Bachelorette, I'd
have to say Jason is my favorite. It must be a 'parental' thing - I love seeing
him with Ty and its the first time I felt the Bachelor/Bachelorette was really a
genuine person.

Do you think the show is scripted at all? Do you think they manipulate the viewers by what they show us?

Umm... sometimes I actually do think it is scripted. I don't think a lot of it
is like 'word for word' scripted, but I think that they might tell them what to
do/talk about to make for good TV. Sometimes manipulation can go on such as
trying to make us think one thing, when it's actually something else. Not
necessarily a bad thing though.

Have you heard about this seasons conspiracy theory? If so, how do you feel about it and do you believe it?

If what you mean by the "conspiracy theory" is that he proposes to Melissa,
breaks up, then goes to Molly, I do kind of believe it. It seems like something
is up anyways since there is supposedly a dramatic, intimate ending previewed.
If it is really true - I will NOT be happy! I just really don't care for Molly
and would be upset if he ended up with her :-)

Your opinions on the finale and after the final rose episode?

I can't believe Jason's choice. I wish the show would have ended at 9:00 -
it was perfect! I can't believe he dumped her on TV - I was totally behind
Melissa all the way last night! Every point she had made perfect sense, you
don't just get up and leave every time something feels 'a little different.'
Everyone would be broken up and divorced if that was the case!

He already said goodbye to Molly and he wasn't willing to fight for
Melissa's relationship. Melissa made sense and Jason on the other hand was all
in lala land about "oh i wish i had control over my heart and head' which in my
opinion sounds like crap to me. I don't think Molly is the right choice - I
can't believe he'd want fabulous 'beer pong' Molly over sweet, sincere Melissa.
Molly never even seemed like she was there for the right reasons - it was always
"I want to be here!" as if it was just a competition vs Melissa "I am in love
with you and want to spend my life with you." I feel so bad for Melissa! She
should be the Bachelorette! I am kind of disappointed - I am not sure if I will
be watching future episodes.

Bachelor Spoiler Alert or False Speculation? We shall see . . .

So, the big question on my mind right now is, can I trust that Reality Steve is speaking the truth or does he have my panties in a bunch for nothing?

First of all Reality Steve is a guy who claims to have a lot of connections with people behind the scenes of our favorite reality television shows, including "The Bachelor". He recently posted three videos of himself where he tells his viewers the juiciest spoiler I've heard in a long time.

*STOP reading now and continue after you finish watching this season of "The Bachelor" if you don't want to know the possible reality of the outcome*

Now that you've been fairly warned, if you chose to continue, it is at your own risk.

Reality Steve tells us, in his videos under his post titled "The Truth", that Jason and Melissa get engaged on the Finale but Jason shockingly breaks up with Melissa on live television when everyone comes back for the "After the Final Rose" show and then gets back together with Molly, the girl he supposedly dumps on the Finale. Okay, take a breath, I know that was a lot to swallow but that's not even the biggest shocker.

Okay, are you ready? Our Jason, the single father we all know and love, the "good" guy was approached by the producers with this plan and agreed to go along with it and knowingly hurt and humiliated Melissa. Now, this may not be true, but this is all according to Reality Steve.

I want to believe as much as you do that Jason wouldn't do this, he wouldn't be that cruel and cold-hearted to a sweet and innocent girl, Melissa. But, how well do we know Jason? We only know what the producers chose to show us. This is a sad truth but at this point, I don't know what to believe.

All I can say is, if the producers really played this inhumane trick on Melissa, they better be making her the next Bachelorette! Now let's all watch the Finale and the "After the Final Rose" and then we'll all see about Reality Steve's theory. While we wait these long dreaded two weeks, let me know what you think about Reality Steve's theories and if you have any of your own.

From Broken Heart to Bachelor

A few season's ago, the producers of "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette" decided to add a little twist.

They decided to link the season's by making the runner up/broken hearted victim of the season before, the new bachelor/bachelorette of the next season. I think whoever made that decision is a genius!

This season's Bachelor is Jason Mesnick, the runner up for the heart of last season's Bachelorette Deanna Pappas. America falls in love with the people putting their hearts and souls on the line publicly. America, including myself, fell in love with this single father throughout the last season and felt his pain when Deanna broke his heart.

I admit that I am a hopeless romantic, but every season I really believe the relationship formed is going to last, and out of the numerous season's I've watched only ONE has lasted - very discouraging odds. But I must say, once again I believe this season's love match is going to last!

In two weeks there will be a season finally in which I'm going to predict Melissa (my pick from the first episode - not trying to brag) will win Jason's heart.

This week's episode however I did not see coming. I had predicted Jillian and Melissa (former Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader) to be the final two this season - and let me tell you, I'm a master at predicting television shows and movies! But when Jillian got eliminated I was in shock. Jillian was serious competition for Melissa and with her gone, I now believe there's no chance Melissa's going to loss.

I don't think America has fallen in love with Molly (at least I haven't) so I'm thinking this show is going to have a fresh face as the next Bachelor/Bachelorette. If the impossible happens and Molly somehow wins Jason's heart, there's no doubt the world has fallen in love with Melissa and she will totally be the next Bachelorette. However the show might take a new twist because the world did fall in love with two girls this season, poor Molly's just not one of them. There is talk about Jillian possibly being the next Bachelorette. I don't know about you, but I'd watch it!

Oh and I haven't even mentioned the biggest drama we are all waiting for, the previews make it seem as though Deanna comes back into Jason's life next week to ask him to take another chance on her. I believe Jason has moved on but there's only one way to find out, stay tuned to my blog and I'll let you know who gets that final rose.
