Jason Gives out the Final Rose...then Takes it Back

***SPOILERS AHEAD***

The Internet has been a-buzzing with rumors that Jason would make his choice in the finale... and then go back on it in the "super secret" After the Final Rose. And they were right.

In last night's finale, Jason did what everyone thought he would do... he chose Melissa, proposed to her, then six weeks later, dumped her in favor of runner-up Molly. He said that he and Melissa were "not a perfect fit" and that he "couldn't stop thinking about" Molly. In all truth, I think he picked Melissa because she was just like his ex-wife and former Bachelorette Deanna, then realized that if he couldn't make it work with them, what chance did Melissa have?

Molly was right in saying that Jason was making a big mistake... after all, Melissa was a bit too grounded for him. So in between sobs, he asked flaky, country-club girl Molly for a second chance.I half-hoped Molly would laugh in his face, tell him she had moved on, and left him alone, but she didn't. Maybe these two dingbats are a perfect match after all.

As for Melissa, she was spot on when she asked Jason, "Why did you put a ring on my finger if you weren't willing to fight for our relationship?" and that "Getting engaged is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and you took that away from me." I couldn't help feel her pain. Well said, Melissa. I hope you find yourself a nice boy in Texas to settle down with.

What is your take on last night's turn of events? Do you support Jason's decision, or do you think he's a jerk?
