Melissa Rycroft

Personal emails between Jason Mesnick and Melissa Rycroft in January reveal one pissed-off Bachelorette, but one who saw her engagement's demise and her fiance's feelings for Molly Malaney coming.

In the first of several emails, Melissa Rycroft expressed anger at Jason following the After the Rose special (taped in mid-January), in which Jason dumped her and asked for a second chance with runner-up Molly.

Melissa Rycroft may have seen it coming, at least in part. Yet she was still far from pleased with Jason Mesnick, writing:

"Last night didn't go NEAR how I thought... I still can't believe how you can't give reasons other than 'It changed.'... You know as well as I do that you didn't give 100% to me or the relationship. I don't understand how you can walk away form something without giving it your all. But I am walking away knowing I did."

Jason gives Melissa an engagement ring and a lot of false hope.

In the initial e-mail after the taping, Melissa Rycroft seemed well aware of Jason's feelings for Molly Malaney prior to his TV confession:

"And getting confirmation about Molly in front of people like that was a complete classless move if you ask me - how could you do that to me after I repeatedly asked you about it? I'm not stupid, I knew about Molly... and you lied to me about it. I can't even tell you how much respect I lost for you... but it makes this whole process from here on out much easier for me."

Monday night's stunning "After the Final Rose" special of The Bachelor, in which Jason Mesnick dumped Melissa Rycroft for runner-up Molly Malaney, has sparked outrage, big ratings and plenty of unanswered questions.

Did the producers know? Did they script this whole thing? Did Molly know what was coming? Did Melissa? Why did Jason pull the switch?

Jason Mesnick's short-lived engagement to Melissa Rycroft.

The Bachelor host Chris Harrison is speaking out about the finale in an attempt to clear up some of the rumors going around. Here are his thoughts ...

They were shocked: "When we left New Zealand, we were high-fiving, thinking this is great, 'People are going to love this guy and love the story.' I talked to Jason Mesnick when we got back, and things were going great. And then the next thing I hear, the producers are saying, 'He wants another shot with Molly.' And I just said, 'You've got to be kidding me!' We were all blown away."

This was not staged: "People think we wanted to pull this stunt, but we didn't!" This isn't good for us. I mean, the ratings were insane and all that, but we would have much rather had him end up with Melissa and have them get married. In the long run, that's a better story for us and for the fans."

Former Bachelor and Bachelorette contestants are slamming Jason Mesnick for dumping fiancee Melissa Rycroft for Molly Malaney on Monday's season finale.

On his Facebook page, Andy Baldwin wrote: "Andy is glad when he was the Bach. He was a man and didn't sell his soul and cave. Such a sellout."

Later, Baldwin posted another message re: the shocking Bachelor finale: "You do NOT break up on national television. That is the opposite of a gentleman."

Navy Lt. Andy Baldwin starred in The Bachelor: An Officer and a Gentleman in Season 10. He chose Tessa Horst but broke up with her a few months later.

Elsewhere, Trista Sutter - the only star to wed the person they chose on the show - was also shocked that Mesnick (who has a son, Ty, 4) would propose to one woman, introduce her to his child and then hook up with a new woman."

"How could you go from being engaged to someone, to kissing someone else on the couch?!" she fumed. "He doesn't deserve to walk away scot-free."

"What disappointed me as a mom is that he introduced both girls to Ty ... Melissa was around, and now she's gone. What is Ty going to think?"

Jason Mesnick has narrowed The Bachelor field to 12. But we have reason to believe that one of the remaining dozen women has the inside track to his heart.

Ex-cheerleader Melissa Rycroft (below) certainly has Jason's attention thus far. But according to a video that has surfaced online, that's only the beginning ...

Some Canadian guy with a great accent, a love for The Bachelor and way, way too much time on his hands believes he has evidence that Jason Mesnick picks Melissa during the final rose ceremony - and ABC's own promo gave it away.
