The Bachelor speaks out on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” in first interview follwoing tonight’s “After the Rose” special
SPOILER ALERT… DON’T READ IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN LAST NIGHT’S BACHELOR YET!
After host Jimmy Kimmel introduced the “fickle pickle“ to the stage, he quipped, “Is your arm sore from handing out and taking back roses?” “I hate roses, I am done with roses,” laughed Jason.
Jason then spoke candidly about his decision to break-off his engagement with Melissa. Jason admitted the difficulty in having to make such a difficult choice in the end, saying that if he had been dating the last 3 women in the “real world,” he would not have stopped dating any of them since they were all great girls.
Kimmel asked Jason why he decided to propose, instead of just choosing a woman to continue dating. “I came into the show… with a preconceived notion… everything I was ever looking for at that time in my life was Melissa,” Jason said. During the following six weeks after the show finished taping though, including secret rendezvous’ and time spent together during the holidays, Jason felt that “the chemistry was completely different.”
Kimmel wondered if the break-up had anything to do with Melissa watching the show week after week and seeing how Jason interacted with the other women, but Jason denied that, saying that Melissa “refused to watch the show.”
“Are you planning to get married to Molly?” Kimmel asked. “There is no talk about that right now.” Jason responded.
“I think Melissa and I will at some point be friends,” Jason said, to which Kimmel emphatically responded, “Oh no you will not!”
