Bachelor Jason Whisks Women to New Zealand

Former Bachelorette DeAnna Pappas is a No Show

Feb 17, 2009 Shelby Winchell

Jason Mesnick cuts the competition from three to two, and in a surprising twist, DeAnna never appears in this episode even though she appeared in the last week's preview.

Jason, from ABC's The Bachelor, says goodbye to his son and Seattle again to whisk the three remaining women to New Zealand for a romantic getaway. The women still vying for his heart are Jillian, Molly, and Melissa.

Jason Admits He's Falling in Love

"I've always wanted to come here," says Jason. His first date is with Jillian. He picks her up in a helicopter, and they tour Queenstown from up above. "I'm totally walking on clouds right now," expressed Jillian. The pilot lands on a cliff and the two enjoy a picnic, complete with wine and conversation. "I think it's safe to say I'm falling in love with him," admits Jillian. She goes on to say she wants to marry her best friend, but Jason says he wants much more than that.

During dinner, Jason says the conversation comes easy with Jillian, and that the two have a lot in common. While Jason contemplates giving Jillian a key to the fantasy suite, he says, "I think spending the night with someone is a real important part of the relationship. But I need to make sure there's a romantic connection there."

Jason does make the offer, and Jillian accepts. In the fantasy suite, Jason admits to the camera that he is falling in love with Jillian. "I think you are the most remarkable person I've ever met," says Jillian. The last thing the camera shows is the two making out passionately in a hot tub.

Jason Pictures Molly as His Wife

Chasing after Jason's heart next is Molly. For their date, Jason takes Molly bungee jumping. The two end up taking the plunge together.

That night Jason says he could picture Molly as his wife. Over dinner, Jason says he needs to see Molly's vulnerable side. "I want to let my guard down for you, I do. It's just not easy for me," admits Molly. She goes on to say that she wants to be with Jason, and that she's falling in love, but Jason never says it back.

Molly turns the table on Jason after dinner, and invites him to spend the night with her. Jason agrees, and the two spend the night together, in a different fantasy suite than the one he stayed in with Jillian. The two end the night in a bathtub full of bubbles.

Melissa Opens Up to Jason

Jason takes Melissa on Winston Churchill's old boat for a romantic date on the water. During the date, Jason admits in private that he's disappointed he didn't get to meet her parents and that he does have doubts. Once they dock, the two take a dip in a hot tub where they talk about previous dates and Melissa's parents. "I would have loved to have met them," says Jason. He says he could fall in love with Melissa without meeting her parents, but it could only go so far.

The bachelor wined and dined Melissa that night. "I felt like I needed to tell Jason how I was feeling," admitted Melissa. Jason says he could possibly spend the rest of his life with Melissa. Jason offers her a card to the fantasy suite, and just like his other dates, she accepts without hesitation. The date ends with Melissa admitting she's fallen head over heels in love with Jason.

It's Down to Two

Melissa and Molly both receive roses from Jason, leaving Jillian empty-handed. Jason says their lives are too different, but Jillian disagrees. Jason admits he wasn't falling in love with her. As seen in tonight's preview, DeAnna is suppose to appear in the final episode.
