Reality sometimes is stranger than fiction!! Or that is what “The Bachelor” executive producer, Mike Fleiss, wants us to believe in. According to Fleiss, Jason Mesnick’s change of heart was unexpected and the producers had absolutely no influence in the selection.

“The great thing about unscripted television is that it’s unpredictable, and that’s what this was,” he said of Mesnick’s decision to let Rycroft go and rekindle his romance with Malaney. “It caught us off guard. It caught the viewers off guard.”

Jason proposed to Melissa Rycroft but changed his mind six weeks later at the “After the Final Rose” special. Jason dumped Melissa for runner up Molly Malaney. Jason Mesnick, a 32-year-old single dad from Seattle, is a really confused guy but nonetheless he tried to explain his choice and why he did it on camera to Jimmy Kimmel (watch video here>>).
