"It's like The Bachelor meets Punk'd," Jimmy Kimmel joked in his monologue of last night's tragedy of a finale.

If you missed it, Bachelor Jason Mesnick chose Melissa as his bride, then six weeks later, changed his mind and opted for the runner-up, Molly Malaney.

After suffering some jabs from Kimmel, Jason argued that he really did spend the whole six weeks, which included Christmas, following the final rose ceremony and up until the first After The Final Rose special with Melissa. But once the cameras were off, it seemed that their relationship changed.

"What really happened is the chemistry was completely different," he explained. "The relationship was completely different, the conversations, which were so great on the show, were completely different. How was I supposed to lead someone on and keep going if it really wasn't there? That's the honest truth."

Mesnick also said that he and Melissa were pretty much broken up going into the After The Final Rose special.

"She knew," he said. "The question was, are you really going to even wear your ring because we're not together? We could not see each other before that, so we had to have conversations on the phone."

Mesnick also claimed that he had to cruelly dump her on national television signed away his right to privacy when he became the Bachelor. He also claimed that he and Molly were dating but taking things slowley.
