I was listening to Rachel and Becca's podcast earlier and Deanna and Molly were both guests. Molly said that, in spite of Jason's season now being on Netflix, she hasn't gotten any hate on SM. IMO, that's because a) people know that she and Jason have been happily married for 10 years and b) they know that Melissa is also happily married. I think if SM was bigger back when the season aired, maybe she and Jason would have taken a lot of heat. Now though, I think people can see that everything worked out the way it was supposed to.

Loved Naomi's and Jason's toast, mostly because they actually referred to it as a "toast" and not a "cheers."
The weirdest family visit ever -- was it just set up? He seemed to be really into Naomi, didn't he?

Jillian's family is so cute! I'm glad they showed a lot of her in this episode, she's awesome. So far, we've barely seen or heard from Melissa!

If CH hadn't introduced Jillian before talking to her, I would have had no idea who she was! She is unrecognizable.

I remember Jason breaking up with Melissa on TV, and I felt so bad for her. But then I learned she knew or that they were already mostly broken up! Tonight she makes it seem that she didn't know.
Molly spoke about how lucky they all were there was not social media back then, or they would've been in for it.
Melissa and her husband named one of their kids Jason?? LOL!

Oh man, we have to sit through Nick's season next?? Not sure if I'm ready yet to see this yet, especially since it didn't work out, despite him saying "if you don't give up on love, then eventually you will find it." He hasn't yet! The Corinne stuff, Taylor, etc., not loving it.
Seeing Jason and Molly's update was fun; their little girl was adorable. Wish we could've seen Ty as a teenager - he was such a cute little boy!

These are Melissa's children's names. Melissa did know and she is never going to look to be the bad one. Cayson Jack Strickland, Ava Grace Strickland, Beckett Thomas Strickland

I had forgotten about the Mesnick bathtub farts. Molly's face and Jason's face both priceless.

It was nice to see the updates from the main characters in all of this. Nice to see them all happy & that the drama/hurt is now well behind them. Melissa still looks lovely. Molly still looks lovely, and Jason may too, behind that beard, although it really doesn't look all that bad on him. Jillian doesn't look a bit like herself. I never would have known who she was. I think she had work done. It didn't do her any favors. She looked better before. Although, maybe in person & all "done up" she looks better. I thought she got married a long time ago. I thought I read about wedding planning & venues. Is this the same guy who's the father of the kids?
All in all this was a fun season to revisit, especially since it all worked out well for everyone. I never cared for Molly, but have changed my opinion drastically. She's proven to be a much different person from how I judged her.
Next time I won't be watching. I can't stand the guy & never could. Didn't watch the first time & won't bother at all this time. How many more do we have coming?

I know they were going too and he is the father of her kids. I always liked Molly.

Cayson and Jason sound too much alike! Molly worked around here before going on the show, and there were rumors of her being kind of "wild" and loose, so I had prejudged her too. But I ended up really liking her, and I like them as a couple. Glad it worked out for them.

Didn't Jillian say in the interview with Chris that she was waiting for her replacement engagement ring to arrive and that the wedding had been postponed until next summer?

I don't keep up with her much only if I run across something so that probably is what is happening. I am not Jillian fan. What little I know is from a quite awhile back.

Jason's season is the first time I noticed blatant producer manipulation of the outcome. It was clear to me that he was crazy about Molly but at final two, they brought Deanna in to talk to him.She told him about how she regretted picking Jesse based solely on chemistry and wished she'd made a more logical decision (or something like that), so instead of picking the one he wanted, he picked the one he thought looked better on paper. And surprise, surprise. It didn't work out.
I'm glad that they all ended up happy, because the producers totally played them for drama!

When he and Molly were in the tent right then I knew she was the one he wanted. They should have left Deanna out of it. Melissa was also a producer pick. I have never been a Melissa fan and in my opinion she played it for all it was worth. Jason received so much backlash that wasn't deserved but he did what his heart knew was right. I am glad he and Molly are happy and doing well.

Me too, nennie. I remember during Jason's season, you and I both agreed that he wanted Molly. I knew when he and Molly took that walk in the rain together under an umbrella, that she was the one he wanted. They make one of the cutest Bachelor couples ever!

I looked on ABC's site at scheduling and a new show called "Holey Moley" is on. Maybe I'll watch the Love Island premiere on CBS instead

There will be another Bachelor show next Monday -- revisiting Nick Viall's season. After that is iffy.
Dancing With The Stars starts on Sep. 14th, so that leaves only one more Monday after next (9/7) for a possible Bach episode.

This is the only program I have seen from this series and I really enjoyed it. Like Navybelle, I'd forgotten all about Stephanie's daughter showing up on her birthday. (To be perfectly honest, I forgot about Stephanie altogether... ) Jillian's little girl Annie is adorable. Oh my gosh, she is precious. Stephanie's daughter, gosh how'd she get so big so fast! Very pretty young lady and so sweet toward her mom. And then of course, Jason & Molly... these two are such a great pair I loved rewatching their After the Final Rose show again. Her reaction was/is still the most genuine moment in Bachelor history.
