What did Molly Malaney potentially give up to be with fiance Jason Mesnick? A starring role in the next installment of The Bachelorette! Also considered: Melissa Rycroft.
In this week's cover story, Mesnick reveals to Us that show producers -- a week after his ill-fated proposal to Rycroft -- "kept asking me if I thought Molly would make a good Bachelorette."
See who's getting married next
But ultimately, the Bachelor "realized I was not willing to let Molly go on TV and have 25 guys fight over her."
What about Rycroft? "Melissa is a great girl, but there wasn't any chemistry," he admits. "So I broke up with her after Christmas, about a month after we wrapped."

Mesnick insists to Us that when the pair taped the After the Final Rose special in January -- in which he dumped a visibly shocked Rycroft and begged Malaney to take him back -- they had already split in private, despite appearances to the contrary.
One key party still in the dark? Would-be Bachelorette Malaney, whom Mesnick was contractually prohibited from contacting until The Bachelor had completely aired. "And at that point, she already would have started filming The Bachelorette!" Mesnick says of his logistical dilemma.
Ewww: Hollywood's grossest kisses
He admits that the controversial After the Final Rose taping (complete with tears and a broken engagment) wasn't the ideal venue to rekindle things with Malaney and win her back. "Obviously, I didn't want it all on TV, but I had to take the chance if it meant getting her back. I'd rather have picked up the phone, trust me!"
Recently engaged to Malaney, the groom-to-be insists that he and Rycroft "were still on good terms after we taped After the Final Rose. Producers asked her to be the next Bachelorette, so we talked about that for weeks. We don't talk anymore, but I wish her nothing but the best . . . I never intended to humiliate her."

Veronica M."realized I was not willing to let Molly go on TV and have 25 guys fight over her." TRANSLATION? "I'm a petty, selfish, self obsessed tool who doesn't know how to treat women and my ego is so big I refuse to be humiliated so I will propose not out of love but out of ego and pride". SERIOUSLY, girls stay away from men like him. That behavior is poreport abuseposted October 28, 2009 12:01 PM PDT

FranSMolly was the better choice. Melissa was too much of a drama queen. She gave off asa being about, "me,me,me". I could see there was no chemistry between the two. Mel would do better with a flying monkey.report abuseposted October 28, 2009 10:08 AM PDT

I don't know if I believe him that they were already broken up. Maybe they did. Maybe he thought that it was clear to her by his behavior. Who knows. But it was his choice to take this whole drama to the TV screens all over the country. He should have known what everyone's reaction will be!!!report abuseposted October 28, 2009 9:45 AM PDT
