We don't typically see someone go back to an old contestant after sending them home, but that's what happened in Jason Mesnick's case. The single father was viewed as a sweet guy who was looking for a serious partner, and it looked like he was on his way to getting that with Melissa Rycroft and Molly Malaney as his final two. Jason proposed to Melissa. However, after the finale aired in 2009, Jason told Chris Harrison that he was still in love with Molly and wanted to make it work with her. Needless to say, Melissa was heartbroken, and finding out on television made it even worse.
This is still one of our favourite Bachelor seasons because Jason asked Molly for a second chance and she gave it him. The couple got married in 2010 and are raising his son, Ty, and their daughter, Riley, together. True love really does prevail.
