A botched "Bachelor"


"I don't get it at all," Melissa Rycroft said on the post-"Bachelor" show Monday (March 2). "None of it makes sense."

And that provides a concise review of this round of "The Bachelor."

Jason Mesnick had told viewers he was really fond of one finalist (Molly Malaney of Grand Rapids), but the other one (Melissa Rycroft of Dallas, Texas) is open and easy to love. He proposed, she accepted, they said they were the happiest people on the planet.

The follow-up show was taped six weeks later. Mesnick said he had changed his mind and wanted Molly after all. Melissa raged, Molly hugged, Jason said he'd go slowly this time and we didn't get it at all; none of it made sense.

Another follow-up show is set for 10 p.m. today (Tuesday, March 3), to see how Jason and Molly are doing. Meanwhile, a summary:

1) One recent bachelor ended up choosing no one. He left the show without an ending.

2) Now Jason has done this. In the show's history, there have been zero marriages from the bachelor, one from the bachelorette.

3) The only logical conclusion is that guys should never be in charge of any decision.
