In completely random news you didnt know you needed (but totally do), Jason Mesnick s drama-filled season of The Bachelor is now on Netflix. Yup, seriously.
To the best of public knowledge, Netflix has zero history of streaming past Bachelor seasons, buuutttt they just did. Also, theres no info as to why, exactly, they chose Jasons season (which, btw, happened a decade ago), but its The Bachelor!!! On Netflix!!!
ICYMI: Season 13 really set the bar high for Chris Harrisons constant claim that this is the "most dramatic season ever," and it largely had to do with the way things went down in the finale and "After The Final Rose" show .
At the time, Jason was a single dad who was previously known to America as the runner-up of season four of The Bachelorette, a.k.a. DeAnna Pappas' season. As things got toward the end, Jason was so gutted about deciding between Melissa Rycroft and Molly Malaney that he was filmed sobbing on a balcony.

He ended up choosing Melissa, and things seemed awesome for themuntil the "After the Final Rose" special. During that show, Jason told Chris Harrison that he felt like things werent the same with Melissa and that he really, really wanted Molly back.
Jason actually told Melissa this on air (which, OMG). She seemed completely blindsided, ended up giving him his ring back, and left. Cut to Chris interviewing Molly, who admitted she was still in love with Jason. Jason jumped in and told Molly he wanted another chance and still loved her, and the two decided to give things a go.

Jason got a ton of heat for the public nature of his breakup, but it seems like he made the right choice. Now, he and Molly are married with a daughter. Melissa ended up getting married to insurance agent Tye Strickland and having three kids together, so it seems like everyone made out okay.
Heads up: Netflix has the entire season, including both episodes of the "After the Final Rose" special, and the special episode of Jason and Molly's wedding. Now, you can watch (and rewatch...and rewatch) the whole thing unfold all over again. Yesss!
