What was Jason Mesnick thinking with Melissa Rycroft? The man that was once rejected by DeAnna Pappas had a little fun of his own, dumping on Molly Malaney and picking up on Melissa and all on national television. Many beleive it was to make certain to embarrass Melissa. It was a shady threesome already, but Mesnick is actually defending his decision to dump Bachelor winner Melissa for runner-up Molly on Monday night's shocking Bachelor finale. It was more than a bit sleazy as he included his kid on the show.
