The Bachelor


On Monday night the season finale of The Bachelor premiered, however, this was a finale like no other. The Bachelor and Bachelorette has been on the air for several years and every season is almost identical to the one before except for a new set of faces. This season Jason Mesnick was the bachelor looking for the perfect woman to be his wife. Jason warmed his way into hearts all around America with his sweet personality and sad life story. He is a single dad of a three year old, Ty, and the nation watched him as DeAnna refused his proposal during the last season of The Bachelorette. Everyone wanted to see him find his fairy tale ending. During the finale he was down to two girls and he chose Melissa to propose to. The couple looked like a match made in heaven, but within five minutes of the engagement airing, viewers watched the relationship turn sour. During the “After the Final Rose Ceremony” which was directly after The Bachelor, Jason sat on the couch with the host Chris and admitted to not being in love with Melissa. When she came onto the stage he told her that she wasn’t the one he was in love with. She was extremely upset and eventually left the stage after telling Jason how inconsiderate he was. Minutes later the runner up, Molly, came out and he told her that she was the one he wanted.
The show is mainly geared towards a female audience, but this seasons ending displayed very negative messages about females. Jason has asked Melissa to be his wife, and when he decided that she wasn’t all that he thought, he turned around and picked the other girl instead. Jason acted like the girls were his possessions and when he realized he had bought the wrong thing; he returned it for something else. But don’t worry, this message did not go unnoticed. On Tuesday the internet was buzzing with women that were extremely upset about the treatment Jason had with the girls.
