Sneaky ABC Planned DWTS/Bachelor Crossover?

5, 6, 7, 8....and kick!

I'm being played by ABC.

Is ABC messing with us? Is this all a big conspiracy? Some would like you to believe it is. Let's look at the facts:

- Ratings are down across the board and the networks are struggling.

- It was obvious love at first sight between Molly and Jason. Melissa was just a pawn.

- The public dumping of Melissa seemed rather staged.

- Jason reported he was contractually obligated to "be an ass" on the reunion show.

- Melissa has already attracted a lot of sympathetic viewers and is sure to have a following.

But you know what I find the most puzzling? How is Melissa at all prepared to compete? Yes, she has a background in cheerleading but last I checked there is no cha cha in cheering. Heck, Jewel had enough time to fracture both legs before filming began and Nancy O'Dell (who also leaked the Bachelor emails - suspicious) suffered injuries as well.

Those ABC execs sure are crafty. They'll do anything to boost ratings. What's next: OctoMom and her 14 kids? Anything's possible.
