Wow. That was a crazy episode. I am so happy in the end that Jason let Megan, Lauren and Shannon go. I was reading Chris Harrison’s blog just now and realized how hard a decision it was between Stephanie and Nikki. And seeing that Stephanie made it through to top 5, I feel really bad for Nikki because she really should have beat out Megan, Lauren and Shannon then.
So here’s my thoughts…
I think he picked Stephanie over Nikki because of her reveal about her 11 year relationship that started when she was 17 and just ended a year before. Nikki is an amazing woman but she just couldn’t figure out how to let go with someone else. And who can blame her? She’d been with someone for 11 years. I can’t tell you how much I related to her on the not-singing thing. Her saying I’m just too much of a perfectionist to “just have fun”. Yeah, not sure I could do that in front of a guy and a bunch of beautiful girls either. And Scott, who for some reason was watching it with me, was super upset because he thought she was the prettiest of them all.
I just don’t see why he picked Stephanie. The double date was as awkward as I don’t know what to watch and actually even more awkward once Nikki left. It almost was like Jason was dancing with his mom. I just don’t see any romantic connection at all. The only thing I can figure is she gives him comfort because she is a mother.
I think Megan liked to think she was the most normal out of all of them but I don’t agree. And that whole coming on strong kiss I think might have scared Jason.
And speaking of scaring Jason…let’s talk Shannon and Lauren.
As Chris mentioned, Lauren came on WAY too strong. I couldn’t believe she was being so demanding during their one on one time. I think she thought it was funny but it wasn’t.
And Shannon, oh my word. She bottom-line became obsessed with Jason. And then for some awful reason, thought she could build some type of comfort level by picking her nose in front of him. Like, hey, we MUST be meant to be if I feel comfortable enough to pick my nose in front of you (and all of America) and THEN she tries to kiss him. Ugh.
As I mentioned last week, I really thought Molly came on strong lately and loved her on their date this week. I could definitely see them together. But my first favorite was Melissa and I’m still sticking by her. She’s fun, down to earth, pretty and she honestly seems into him.
As for Naomi and Jillian, unfortunately I think they are going to fall to the wayside. Home dates can change and everything and DON’T FORGET, DeAnna’s coming back!!!!

I just love Jason-what a real gentleman.I’m hoping he finds chemistry with Stephanie-I thinks she’s head and shoulders over the rest –so classy,mature and fun too.I think they would have a wonderful life together.

I DEFINETELY THINK THE GIRL WHO LOST HER HUSBAND AND HAS A LITTLE GIRL..IS NOT THE ONE FOR HIM..SHE IS OLDER AND FOR SOME REASON THIS BATCH OF GIRLS JUST DOESNT REACH OUT TO ME…MAYBE AS IT GETS CLOSER TO THE END..AND THE FAMILY MEETING..WILL BRING OUT MORE…I FEEL LIKE MOST THAT DEEANA WILL SHOW UP AT THE END!!!!!

I feel that Deeanna is a mistake to come in like she will and if she is to be on the show she should of been in the top 25 choosen To me it seems she is there to either get him back or ruin his chances But if I had to pick a lady for Jason it would be Melissa or Stephani
mare says
after seeing previews on Melissa I am not sure if she is right for Jason now… I can see Stephani being the next bachorlette but I feel that Jillian and Molly just dont seem like there ready for the life that is ahead of them if Jason chooses one of them
