It's been more than a decade since Melissa Rycroft was dumped on national television by The Bachelor star Jason Mesnick. On Monday night, the franchise's new spinoff -- The Greatest Seasons — Ever! -- takes a look back at the couple's dramatic breakup, something the 37-year-old called "totally embarrassing" in a new Instagram post.
According to People, Melissa recently admitted to host Chris Harrison that she never watched the season after her 2009 split with the single father from Seattle. Despite the emotional ending, the Dallas native had mostly positive things to say about her appearance on the reality show.
Jason struggled with his final decision during the finale, but eventually sent contestant Molly Malaney home and proposed to Melissa. Their engagement didn't last long. The show's leading man ended their relationship on the After the Final Rose special so he could pursue Molly — they got married a year later.
One day before the latest episode of The Bachelor: Greatest Seasons — Ever! was set to air, Melissa shared her thoughts on Instagram about her experience, along with an adorable photo of herself snuggling on the couch with her husband, Tye Strickland.
She added a lengthy caption and admitted she was embarrassed about the outcome, but said it was "totally worth it."
