Bachelor: The Unaired Episode

Jason and girls, before things got ugly -- Picture courtesy of ABC

A lot of Bachelor fans were outraged at the recent “After the Final Rose” episode where bachelor Jason ditched Melissa, his initial selection for Molly, the runner-up. He basically decided he made a mistake and decided to go with his heart. ABC insisted that the boyishly handsome, 32-year old divorced father confront both women with his decision on air. What people don’t realize is that there was a “Before the After the Final Rose” episode. BlogSpotter has the exclusive transcript of this episode. ABC thought better of airing the whole thing….

ABC STUDIOS, MARCH 2009
Jason, Melissa and the ABC host are seated on the set. The host is off to the side, to allow the lovebirds a little proximity and privacy, never mind the national audience.

JASON
Melissa, I have to confess -- I’m really in love with Molly. It was a mistake to rush into this.

MELISSA
You’ve GOT to be kidding. I’m wearing your ring, we’ve made wedding plans!

JASON
About that -- can I have that back? It was like 50 grand. Molly and I need that for Cozumel.

MELISSA
You asshole! How do you mend a broken heart? You mend it with 50K for starters.

EMCEE
May I interject? This is getting heated -- let’s move it along. Jason, tell us why you fell out of love with Melissa so suddenly?

JASON
Well, it could be the snoring. Maybe the thing with the smelly feet. But she kept nattering on about her cats and her ex-fiancé. It’s kind of a toss.

MELISSA
OK, OK this is out of bounds. Jason, I politely didn’t mention your impotence, your juvenile reliance on your high school nerd friends, and your bratty kid. I abstained from all of that because I respect your privacy.

JASON
Look, I had to use a Cialis after I saw you naked.

EMCEE
All right, we steered this the wrong way. Things are even more heated. Let’s dial it back…. Jason, can you just tell us what you like better about Molly.

JASON
OK, this is better. Yeah, Molly was easier to talk to and we both love boating. And I have to be honest Molly has a better rack.

MELISSA (having to be restrained)
Mo-fo, you’re about to die!!

EMCEE
Chill, chill -- everybody chill. Lets just bring Molly out and see if she can tell us anything that would clarify all of this, minus the negative emotions.


MOLLY (entering the set, sitting down)
Well at first, I didn’t like the idea of being sloppy seconds. But now to be honest, I think Melissa was like an order of potato skins and I’m the entrée.

MELISSA
You whore!

MOLLY
You bitch!

JASON
Girls! Enough! Where’s the dignity in this?

EMCEE
We have to go to commercial. Tune in next week when Molly, Melissa and Jason settle their issues once and for all. It will be After the Final Rose and Before the Felony Assault.

Apparently ABC decided this was too raw, and had the players do a more rehearsed presentation. You have the advantage, reading SF, to know what really went down.
