Well this is a relief…

According to People Magazine (thanks for the link Leslie!) Jason and Molly are ENGAGED!

(Side note:  my grandmother – Doodle – always told me that I should never EVER take a picture with a boy/engagement photo that features my arms wrapped around his neck like a noose.  She said it subliminally tells people that the girl has control issues and that the guy isn’t manly.  OUCH!)

Finally.  A BACHELOR WEDDING!  Who is pumped?  Who is ready to see these two kids tie the knot?  Who is…

Yeah.  I don’t really care either.

What I would like to see is Melissa as a special correspondant for Good Morning America doing color commentary at their wedding with Our Host Chris Harrison.  She could dance with Tony Dovolani at the reception and really show Jason what he missed out on.

Let’s hear it people.  Is this news?  Is it perfect timing for ABC to churn out a wedding after Wind Beneath My Wings Jake takes flight in January?  It’s your floor.  Have at it in the comment section.

  1. Joy Said,

    Wahoo!! Finally…. another success story they can trot out at the “Bachelor Tells All” special besides Trista! Oh but wait, technically she wasn’t the girl he picked…. no wait, that doesn’t matter! I want another $2 million dollar wedding extravaganza!

  2. Megan Said,

    To quote you – “Yeah. I don’t really care either.” Totally think it’s premature to get pumped up about a Melaney-Meznick wedding (is that how you spell their last names? still don’t care).

    However, I’m still strangely rooting for Melissa to get married. I hope it works out for her and Tye. I totally love following her on Twitter.

  3. True Said,

    Perfect timing! Well played ABC executives…well played.

    Now DANCE puppets! DANCE!

    ***Insert evil laugh here***

  4. Lisa Said,

    wow I really don’t care if they get married/are engaged either. Ick. Just looking at them makes me want to throw up a little. I’m not really excited about Jake as the next bachelor either, I LOVED Reid and am really sad he’s not going to be on tv. :( However, I will be watching as always, because the trainwrecks are what makes the show really interesting anyway.

  5. Joy Said,

    I read the people article and he went back to New Zealand to propose… to do what he should have done in the first place. Do you think ABC paid for the tickets? Think their cameras were there? I’m sure they would not have missed it!

  6. Lindsey Said,

    I think Doodle is on to something! Also maybe not a great idea to pose like than while wearing a strapless top/dress, because she kinda looks like she’s naked and hiding behind him… Oh well, good for them, I hope they are happy :-)

  7. Laura Said,

    Ew! She DOES totally look like she is naked and hiding behind him! I think it is creepy and weird that they went back to the sight of the dumping to get engaged.

  8. thongandtiara Said,

    dancing it hot. It makes me want to create life if you know what I mean.

  9. Paige Said,

    Just because they are engaged doesn’t mean they will get married…look at all the other people that have been “engaged”.

  10. AggieFan Said,

    I really don’t care either….I never liked Molly….from DAY 1. She either hides her feelings really, really well, or she is fake. I don’t like her smile, it looks fake. They just don’t seem to fit together…they don’t look right together. It seemed to me all their “alone” time that we were able to see was contrived if not forced. I just don’t like them together.

    But hey, who am I to judge? Whatever makes them happy. It’s not my life, it’s theirs…..good luck to them.

  11. Susie-KC Said,

    Did Grandma Doodle also tell you not to place your hands on your boyfriend’s boobs when taking pictures? Sheesh.

  12. Nikki Said,

    I wonder why more people don’t take their engagement pictures on a bed with rumpled sheets while looking half-naked and lounging all over each other? All of those touches just give it that extra something special. Don’t you think?

  13. stef Said,

    I think it was tacky that he proposed in New Zeland where he “broke her heart” and chose another girl. But then again Jason is a big d-bag in my book anyway. I never liked him as the bachelor, he ranks right up there with he who shall remain nameless. Molly was my least favorite of the girls. So maybe they are perfect for each other. IMHO…I don’t see it lasting. Even if they make it to the alter to prove to everyone that they would marry, I don’t give the marraige much longevity. And “naked” Molly draped all over Jason is just trashy for an engagement photo.

  14. Missy Said,

    Really, stef? Because I saw it as him trying to right the wrong he did there, which is pretty romantic in a Melba-esque kind of way…

  15. heidi Said,

    I can’t bring myself to care. sad.

  16. stef Said,

    #14 Missy – I guess I look at it like this….if it was me I wouldn’t want to go back to a place that brought me heartache even if it was “to right a wrong” I would want something romantic and new. Kind of a new begining. But that is just me. But I can see how it might be construed as romantic (in a Melba-esque kind of way :) )

  17. Kerry Said,

    I don’t think that’s their “engagement” picture. There’s no ring and I swear I’ve seen this shot of them before.

  18. Pat Said,

    Anything new about Jillian and Ed? Are they still together?

  19. Claiborne Said,

    14, 17, I agree.
    I doubt this is their official engagement photo. I also think Jason had good intentions when he picked NZ as his engagement destination.

    I was very anti-Jason at the end of last season. I now, however, feel that this sort of justifies what happens. IF they do get married, then at least he didn’t go through all that drama for nothing.
    I am rooting for them.

  20. CU Said,

    They humiliated Melissa on national television. Yes, she came out very well in the end because of it, but if that poor girl had to go through the embarassment of it all, at least let it be for a reason. I hope they really are right for each other. But I’d be surprised if they really were.

  21. SGT Cole Said,

    So I’m doing my usual – checking out Perez Hilton and TMZ, and I came across a story about Adam Lambert being gay?!! WTF?!!

    Seriously suprised here. Who saw that one coming?

  22. Colorado Cat Said,

    Awww I actually am really glad they got engaged. They took some time and fell in love like a normal couple does…okay well a semi-normal couple but STILL I think they’ll make it. Good for them!

  23. AggieFan Said,

    SGT Cole, too funny…..I love AL, but I think I love you more…..you’re gonna make a great catch one of these days!

  24. Kelly Said,

    I think that this explains the choice of location for the proposal – Nothing like a free vacation to prompt a fella to get on his knee with a ring.

  25. aeh Said,

    Well, I happen to see a clip of Jake being interviewed by E! And holy moly, this season could be quite hysterical. The interviewer asked him if he would consider doing Dancing with the Stars… to which he resonded, “I am a dancer. I’m a Latin dancer….but you know, I’ll be engaged, so it would depend on what my fiancee things.” Jake? A Latin Dancer? Somehow I would have never in a million years guessed that. I need to see his “moves” immediately!

  26. Debbie Said,

    #23 Aggie Fan – totally agree with you about dear Sgt Cole.

  27. Island Girl Said,

    That is a hilarious side note because….my husband and I just took family pics on a boardwalk last week and our favorite is of me with my arms around his neck!! HA!!! I’ll have to tell him what this means. I’m 5’2 and he’s 6’3. I don’t really think I control anything!

    yeah- I don’t care about this wedding….not too thrilled about Jake either. Bummer on both.

  28. saggleo Said,

    Oh how I’ve missed the commentary of the greenbeaners!!!

    Sgt Cole – You are HILARIOUS!!! Man in a uniform and a sense of humour – HOTNESS!!!

    I think this photo was used on their Molly chooses Jason media blitz as it looks very familiar to me too. Honestly, I could care one way or other what happens with them. I’m not invested in it enough to care more. If it works it works, if it doesn’t, it doesn’t. Meh.

    Oh I gotta see Jake dance. Show me a man that can dance, and I’ll show you a …..man that can dance! LOL That is once I get to dancing too! (i.e. I’m not a man! lol)

  29. saggleo Said,

    Opps..I just meant to say (I’m not a man) not the i.e. part – I’m sure I’m not a man! LOL

  30. SGT Cole Said,

    You Greenbeaners are too sweet to me. I just want to make out with ALL of you!

  31. heidi Said,

    http://tvwatch.people.com/2009/10/22/bachelorettes-jillian-ed-panty-free-is-the-way-to-be/ in today’s bachelorette news… jillian and ed don’t like underwear. yeah, I don’t know why that’s news.

  32. kandice Said,

    ugghhh… i need some sort of disinfectant to get rid of the distaste for these two… i mean really… are we supposed to care? clearly the consensus is no…
    also, when can we stop recycling bachelors/bachelorettes? i blame it on a lazy production staff… come on people! what else do you have to do besides sift through thousands of files and have a chuckle at the losers? earn your keep! it seems like the only ones keeping it real are the interns (ha!)

  33. Jamie Said,

    Hmmm . . . Jason proposes where he dumped Molly and while on a FREE vacation? Way to make a girl feel REALLY special . . . I wonder if he used the ring Melissa gave back to him?

    Seriously, Melba Toast has NO IDEA how to be romantic or a true gentlemen. I guess Molly’s wedding gift will be the “infamous tent” re-gifted. So much to look forward to . . .

  34. Nance Said,

    It is SO not news. Who cares really? They are BOTH Melba Toast as far as I’m concerned.

  35. Debbie Said,

    Oh oh…heard a cell phone commercial with Melissa yesterday on the way home. “I’m Melissa Rycroft. Blah Blah…you may know me from Dancing with the Stars or being a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader”. Yep, can’t imagine wanting to say “you may know me from being dumped on national television by Jason “Wussypants” Melbatoast on that trainwreck of a travesty of a show, The Bachelor” Wouldn’t make for good sales, I suppose.

  36. Loves volcano explosions Said,

    OMG – did you read that ???- Sgt Cole wants to make out with me! Swoon, swoon….

  37. Elisa Said,

    SGT Cole, you are hilarious! No way could that be a surprise!!

  38. SC Said,

    I agree with Nance (#34)- really could care less. I still agree with whoever had the idea that anyone who has ever been on an episode of “The Bachelor(ette)” and is still single should have a big speed dating night or something. At least they all have something in common! BTW, I was in Chicago last week and I kept an eye open for Jilly Bean and Ed… didn’t spot them though! Totally would have gotten a picture with them for you Lincee :)

  39. BigRed62 Said,

    Debbie – Wussypants??? I LOVE IT!! Perfect name.

  40. oh dear Said,

    I think Jake’s season is going to be A-MAZ-ING! The guy is clearly nuts, which is going to make for excellent television – bring on the craziness! Something tells me that the ABC psychotherapist is going to get lots of overtime this season…

  41. Debbie Said,

    #40 oh dear – you may be on to something. We’re always looking for the psycho in the group. Why not flip things and have a psycho bachelor? I think Jake is the proverbial nice guy, but I sense some “velcro” tendencies. It will be great TV if ABC plays this right.

    #39 BigRed62 – Doesn’t it just fit him to a T? I just want to scream “Man up” every time I see him.

  42. Ok Said,

    Wow. Some pretty harsh comments here re Jason and whats-her-name. I guess time doesn’t heel all wounds. If they make it for the long run, then it seems he made the right decision after all. How many other Bach/ette couples made it past six months, let alone got engaged a year after the show? Good luck to them.

  43. SGT Cole Said,

    Is it just me, or does this chick look stoned? The dude kind of looks like he has that ailment that Stephen Hawkings has. Very unflattering picture for both of them. And I mean no offense to crack heads or cripples.

  44. C List Said,

    Blah blah blah. Yeah, I don’t care either about their engagement. But I am LMAO that he proposed at an ABC-sponsored event. So klassy. Exactly what I’ve come to expect from those two. I am willing to bey money they DO get married. Molly is a control freak. No way she lets him go! And if not for the fact that ABC will likely control the purse strings and the calendar fir both events, I would have been willing to bet that Molly plans their wedding around upstaging Melissa’s. Instead, here’s what I see: Melba/Molly wedding coincides with announcement of the next Bachelorette (undoubtedly, whoever Jake ditches as the F2 or F3). Followed shortly thereafter by Melissa’s wedding which either coincides with the start of The Bach’ette season, the announcement of the next Bach (a dumpee of the Bach’ette, because we must keep the cycle going) OR a new season of DWTS featuring OHCH paired up with Cheryl.

  45. COAggie Said,

    Did anyone see this picture on People this morning?

    http://www.people.com/people/gallery/0,,20315963,00.html#20696942

    Isn’t that Mike Stagliano’s twin brother???? She is not cute enough for him!

  46. SC Said,

    OMG- good catch COAggie! That’s too funny… these bachelor(ette) rejects are turning into an incestuous group!

  47. Karen K Said,

    #42 nothing can heal poor judgement. No matter if these two dip wads get married and live happily ever after it was not the right choice to humilate Melissa in public like he did. I will never believe he had no choice in the matter. Grow a spine Melba. Grow a freakin spine you brainless jellyfish.

  48. Tiger Said,

    Did anyone else hear the Melissa had the swine flu??? Just like Derek from DWTS.

  49. Chickpea Said,

    Lincee, I totally agree with your grandmother!!!!!!! Ugh.
    (Great name, Doodle!)
