He states that Jason chooses Melissa at the finale, but that Mesnick and Melissa are no longer dating following the "After the Final Rose" episode, and that Jason is now dating Molly.

• How It Works

  Twenty five single women enter the series in hopes of finding true love. They live in the same house together and go on group dates and single dates with the bachelor. Contestants are eliminated if they do not receive a rose from the bachelor. When four ladies are left, he goes to their hometowns to meet their friends and family, and the final two ladies meet his family. At the finale, the bachelor chooses one woman to either marry or develop a further relationship with outside of the show. One bachelor, Brad Womack of the 2007 season, opted not to pursue a relationship with any of the women.
