For cataloging the reactions of the media and assorted DAWs to the finale's events -- starting with Trista and Andy, who decided this was the perfect chance to roll their clocks back by eight seconds.

I've also heard one pop culture podcast mention the show's ending, but it was just your basic 'It's a fifteen-car trainwreck with hundreds of fatalities? Get their wallets.'

Here's the comments from our lovely host: http://tinyurl.com/cng4rg

And here's the comments from Jason himself on last night's Jimmy Kimmel Show: http://tinyurl.com/ch4e4f

Wait a minute - no f-bombs, no I can't stand that skanky beyotch (insert name of either bachelorette you don't like), no what the bejessus was he thinking rants?

How the heck do you expect to get every thread on the first page locked without any of those? (has that ever happened?)

I'm sorry. I'm new.

Apparently, Us Weekly has printed allegations that the show's final result was rigged by the producers, and Chris has taken extreme umbrage.......

Chris always did strike me as the type who would fall hard for Dolores.

*groans*

*waves wand*

*drum appears*

*rimshot*

On the one hand, asking Us Weekly to display a responsible level of journalism is like asking FOX News Channel to be fair and balanced.

On the other, would it surprise anyone if the producers had bribed their way to maximum scripted drama on this one and just failed to see the backlash coming?

The rigging that that article indicates sounds far fetched to me. But the whole premise of the show does involve a lot of rigging. On the radio here this morning they were suggesting that early in the season Jason was spending too much time with Molly, and was instructed to "go spend more time with the other girls - it's in the contract".

It's Bachelor Love, which is like Monopoly Money in that it has no actual value outside the game. - frodis
