32 Epic Moments in Reality-TV History

It’s not easy to be a man on The Bachelor. In a matter of weeks the men have to narrow the field from 25 gorgeous gals down to the one they would like to wed for all of eternity. Such intense, hurried circumstances often lead the poor, confused fellas to claim they are falling in love with more than one woman. But in 2009, the 13th season, bachelor Jason Mesnick literally fell in love with both of the final women. The show’s rules said he had to pick just one, so he proposed to the fan favorite, Melissa Rycroft. Six weeks later, during the The Bachelor: After the Final Rose special, he shocked Rycroft and the nation when he dumped her for the other contestant, Molly Malaney. Now, Molly and Jason are happily married with his son Ty, and for her part, Rycroft is happily married too. But future Bachelor contestants, a word of advice: If you’re not sure if you like it, don’t put a ring on it.
