Last night on the ABC reality show The Bachelor, viewers were treated to the Season Finale followed by a one hour special, The Bachelor: After The Final Rose Part 1, taped six weeks after the finale. If you caught the evening of highs and lows, you realize that the situation changed dramatically.

Jason Mesnick rejected his fiancee, former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader Melissa Rycroft. He told her that they just don’t have the chemistry that it takes to continue their relationship. He said he discovered this during the holiday season. This came as a shock to Rycroft. Mesnick signed a contract that kept him from telling her what he planned to do and he reportedly regrets that he couldn’t have broken it to her privately before sharing it with the world.

To say that Rycroft was irritated is an understatement. Over the course of the past six week, he came to the conclusion that his engagement to Rycroft was a mistake and he decided that it was really 24 year old Molly Malaney, a department store buyer from Grand Rapids, Michigan who he wanted to marry. Things should be interesting on The Bachelor: After The Final Rose Part 2, which airs tonight.

Later in the evening, Mesnick appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live. We’ve got the very funny exchange below.
