Update: On Monday night, March 2, "The Bachelor" did propose to one woman, Melissa, and then dumped her for "Milwaukee's Molly" who he had earlier rejected. Tonight, Tuesday, according to abc.com, ""The Bachelor: After the Final Rose, Part 2" brings an emotional conclusion to the shocking season of The Bachelor!"
My wife watches "The Bachelor." So I'm occasionally subjected to it even as I try whole-heartedly to concentrate on the NBA game that's playing on my laptop as she watches her escapist reality fix.
So, I know that 24-year-old Molly Malaney, a Grand Rapids, Mich., native but Milwaukee resident, has made the final two. She'll battle for the heart of single dad Jason Mesnick with Melissa from Dallas in the final episode.
Malaney, who according to most sources works at Kohl's as an assistant to a buyer, is rumored to be back working at Kohl's, sporting a darker hairstyle.
According to some blogs she is one of the front runners to star in the next season of "The Bachelorette." This rumor might mean that she doesn't end up with a wedding proposal from Mesnick.
Anyone seen Molly around town? Got any scoops? Use the talkbacks now.
"The Bachelor" airs at 8 p.m. Monday on ABC and online at abc.com.
