Yeah Melissa is gonna be on today and Jason & Molly are on tomorrow.

They have joint custody. She left him for another man, and she's now married to that man. It happened after they had only been married for a short while. All of that info. has been out there for a while, so I'm not sure what Access Hollywood thinks they'll find. ABC played up the "single dad" angle because it makes Jason more of a sympathetic character. It's not rocket science...it's marketing.

I did catch the piece that Inside Edition did about Jason's ex-wife. She pays him child support, she makes more money than he does.

I am glad Melissa is happy now with her new boyfriend, Ty. She deserves happiness after all this mess getting involved with The Bachelor TV show. I wonder if she has introduced her parents to him.

I think Melissa's new boyfriend is way cuter than Jason ever was.

Can't wait to hear what kind of BS Jason & Molly will spill out tomorrow :p

I think its pretty hilarious that her new bf's name is Ty.

Jason & Molly were so lame on Ellen.

"Oh I had no idea!"
"Oh I was so surprised!" - Molly

"I do regret that I hurt Melissa" -- Jason Uhhhh, what happened to "no regrets" buddy?

Guess who People magazine wasted (impo) a cover on?

The one and only Jason and Molly.

I was like "I'm paying for this magazine to see them".

I'm sorry I have no respect for either one of them and People shouldn't have put them on the cover. (again impo).

I'm sure People will get some flack for it.

I know...I almost gagged with I got my weekly issue....

Something interesting though...According to Jason's interview with People, he said Melissa knew that something was going on before the show, but then he says he couldn't tell here exactly until the show. He made it seem like it was over before it started....

I didn't watch the show, so I don't know how shocked Melissa felt, but still....The People interview will help you to see how much of an ass he is...

On the Ellen interview w/ Melissa, I believe she said (and I'm paraphrasing) that after the holidays she kinda knew that it wasn't going to work out, and she asked him repeatedly if there was someone else, or if it was b/c of Molly and he told her 'no'. At some point he just shut down and backed away and she didn't know why.

Then she was really surprised that they moved the ATFR taping way up.

When she found out the taping was moved, she asked him "Is there something you want to tell me? Am I going to be blindsighted by anything?" and he just said "oh gosh no!"

And then on the taping he told her it was b/c of Molly.

I believe she also said that she knew he contacted Molly at one point while they were still engaged.

But when Ellen interviewed Molly & Jason, they totally denied everything. Oh no! I was so surprised! I had no idea! I was staring at Chris with my mouth wide open! - says Molly

Jason also said he didn't contact Molly... BS.

I think you can see the interviews on Ellen's website

In the People Magazine article he said that the producers gave him "permission" to contact Molly once since he was "worried" about her after he dumped her. They said that he could call her one time.


DaffyKD

Could someone tell me why Melissa did not introduce Jason to her family? I missed that episode and always felt that was a "red flag" regarding her. But, I don't know the whole story.

It's not that she didn't want to, her parents said they weren't comfortable with the public-ness of the whole show, being on camera, etc

I call BS on that. (not on you, but his reason to contact Molly)

What about "permission" from Melissa? :rolleyes:

Just saw on both People and US Weekly websites that Melissa is joining Dancing With the Stars as the replacement for Nancy O'Dell. Guess she isn't too pissed at TPTB at ABC.

what is TPTB? :confused:

the powers that be (?)

yep!

Good Lord!! Has Melissa not been humiliated in public enough?? She is either a glutton for punishment or a total publicity whore. Of course, she could certainly be both, as they are not mutually exclusive! Sympathy alone will get her through a few rounds, but still...

Of all the ways to parlay her 15 minutes of fame into something a bit bigger, this isn't a bad way to do it. Dancing with the Stars isn't going to delve into her personal life too much. She won't be followed 24-7 by cameras. It's not a typical reality show that's going to exploit her. Though she'll have to be "the girl who got dumped" , but hey, that just makes Jason look like more of a schmuck every time it gets brought up.

There's A LOT worse things she could've done... Playboy, some other craptastic reality show.

And she shouldn't do too bad, She has a dance background.

kddani, I was thinking the same thing too. She could do really well on the show, she has a dance background, alot of the same people who really liked her on the bachelor will watch and vote on dwts, and who knows, maybe she'll hook up with one of those really hot Russian dancers???? ;)

Pictures please? I googled Melissa Rycroft and Ty and am coming up empty.

Good for her!!! Now I have a fave for this season... it was looking pretty bleak.

If this is true, I have one question: Why?

I can't find pictures to post but they show pictures during the Ellen DeGeneres interview. I think her interview w/ Ellen might still be on Ellen's website.

And like others have said, she has a very strong dance background, so there's a possibility she will do really well.

She did really well! And she got a standing ovation

Thanks...I found the interview and have now seen the photo of Melissa's Ty.

I am so glad Melissa did well last night!!!!! She did great for only having 2 days worth of practice!!!
