On the season finale of ABC’s “The Bachelor,” Jason Mesnick popped the question to Melissa Rycroft, professing his love and telling Melissa she made him “the happiest man in the universe.”
But how quickly things can change in the world of reality television.
During the “After the Final Rose” special, which aired immediately following the season finale, Jason dumped Melissa on national TV in lieu of a shot at re-connecting with runner-up Molly Malaney – the woman he cut loose prior to proposing to Melissa.
But, according to Jason, it wasn’t up to him to break Melissa’s heart in front of a TV audience of millions – it was how the producers of the reality show wanted it to play out.
