Jason & Molly Mesnick - Bachelor 13 - Discussion

I'll watch. I think JM are adorable.

Hopefully someone will record and post online because I doubt I will catch a live TV episode.

Quite agree with you MVMom. they all went on the show to get something out of it . Some are just luckier than others.

Or need the money more than others. It costs to keep up a lifestyle even if that lifestyle is only to eat and keep a roof over your head.
I used to like Jason/Molly as a couple. I've lost a lot of respect for the couple over the years. He is a whiney, sad, sack of crap, always has been and probably always will be. She's like a Whitney to me, could have done so much better. Oh well, her life let her enjoy it.

Oh kasha thanks for my wake up call.

Kasha, I need to just follow you around!!

They are buying a house this year (and buying/flipping their current house), so it makes sense that they would need the extra money right now.

And, I'm actually the opposite! I used to hate Jason when that whole Melissa/Molly twist went down and didn't understand why Molly would ever take him back. After all these years, after listening to their podcast and reading parts of Melissa's book, I'm totally on Jason's side. Molly just comes off as very materialistic, arrogant, judgmental, and has even said "I always tell my friends NEVER to marry a guy with a kid" (which is fine, but seems awful to say in front of Jason). And, I've actually gained respect for Jason for being super honest about fame/money and for never calling Melissa out for playing the victim in their mutual break-up and not bad-mouthing her (unlike her calling him ugly and unfunny in her book). And, I have a lot of respect for J/M for forgiving and even befriending RS after the hell he put them through.

I like J/M well enough...and I appreciate their podcasts...they usually provide some good commentary. Having said that, I think they're both pretty materialistic and egotistical. I think you almost have to be to thrive in the celebrity lifestyle...even if you're only a D lister (or lower).

 Thank you so much Kasha and chasing for combining to describe Jolly exactly as I see them! For this reason, I've always felt they are a perfectly suited couple and a side benefit is they aren't making two other great people miserable.

I haven't read Melissa's book, but if she said Jason is ugly and unfunny...those are accurate statements IMHO. It was also very clear to me that Jolly accepted RS "friendship" to reap the benefits of positive press from him at a time when they were the most hated couple in America. RS did much to rehab their reputations and make them more palatable to the public. 

Jay-boy and Molls will forever sell out every area of their lives to the highest bidder as Bach Nation "royalty". It's beginning to look like another Bach Nation couple is following in their footsteps. Hopefully, two other Bach couples will continue to resist selling out and live their lives much as they would without having met on the show.

^It's funny because that "other Bach Nation couple" has turned down more offers than any others, probably maybe even more than all them combined. Seems they like their life just fine and only take opportunities when the situation and money are right. Can't blame them because they can build a nice life for themselves and their family.

All the Bach nation couples take certain opportunities. No one couple is above the others because they have all done some questionable things.

I really enjoy Jason and Molly as a couple and get a big kick out of listening to Molly on the radio each AM. She has fit into the morning broadcast team at KISS FM Seattle quite seamlessly.

I guess once you get used to easy $, there's no going back.

How many shows have the Sutters done? If anything they're following their footsteps. I'm surprised it took the Mesnicks so long.

I have no issue with anyone taking offers that come along. This would be fairly easy money with one epi to film. For some reason I've lost interest in S/C but still follow J/M a little. I wouldn't exactly say Melissa is beyond this show after she did that cringeworthy show talking about how she chased her now husband.
