The Bachelorette's Jason Mesnick

So DeAnna let a great catch go...
Hey Jason, if you want a slightly older women who just happens to already be married and has 2 beautiful kids I am available.
What I loved about Jason's appearance on After The Final Rose is how he carried himself.
He is a classy guy and there was never a time that I felt he bashed DeAnna or any of the other guys in any way.
I think we have already found our New Bachelor! If he wants to leave his son again for a long period of time.
Here is an interview with Jason Mesnick {SOURCE}
A moment with: Jason Mesnick, 'The Bachelorette's jilted suitor
Kirkland resident says: 'I don't have any regrets'
By MOLLY MULLEN
SEATTLE P-I
After the heartbreak of divorce, Kirkland's Jason Mesnick went on ABC's "The Bachelorette" looking for love, only to be heartbroken again. In Monday's finale of the reality/romance show, he got down on one knee to propose to bachelorette DeAnna Pappas, but Pappas brought him back to his feet and told Mesnick she was in love with someone else -- the show's other finalist, Jesse Csincsak. Now Mesnick says he's ready to love again.
Jason Mesnick of Kirkland proposes to DeAnna Pappas on ABC's "The Bachelorette" on Monday, but she told him she was in love with the show's other finalist.
On whether he would consider appearing on "The Bachelor":
It's just something I haven't even thought about. It's something, if offered, I would definitely consider. I have not been approached by anyone, though.
(Pappas was a jilted suitor on "The Bachelor" before she was asked to be the selector on "The Bachelorette.")
On where he is right now:
I've been back home for almost two months. When I got home, I got one day off, and I had to go straight back to work (he's an account exec). Everyone at home, all my friends and family, have been so kind, so generous.
On whether he has any regrets about appearing on "The Bachelorette":
I don't have any regrets. I can stand here today saying I wish she would have picked me because we got along so well. Seeing her with Jesse added closure for me. She didn't look at me like that. I deserve that look, and everybody deserves that.
On whether the contestants get any compensation:
Not a penny. We get to do some of the most amazing things in the world, though. It's not easy. I got picked up in a helicopter. I sat in Einstein's chair in the observatory, (went) diving with sharks. All these things you can't put a monetary price on.
On the number of crew members present during shoots:
I got to know some of the crew who I will be friends with my entire life. There are tons of people working on this show. People work so hard. Producers got there at 7 in the morning and didn't leave until 6 the next morning.
On what TV viewers may have missed:
The whole (marriage) proposal. The show made it look like I got down on my knee and she brought me right back up. I talked to her for a while down there. It was a lot longer of a process. I felt disrespected (by DeAnna). That is something I would never do to anybody. I wish they showed more of that moment.
On whether he and Pappas have had any contact since the show ended:
We've talked since the finale, and we plan on staying friends.
On his son's feelings about all this:
He met DeAnna only that one time. All he knew was she was Daddy's friend. Daddy has lots of friends, guys and girls, so he didn't know more than that.

My favorite recappers
The Bachlorette - Final Rose

So was anyone as surprised as I was last night?
I mean, up until Jason stepped out of the first limo I thought she was choosing him. Then I thought perhaps the producers were trying to trick us and perhaps he would be told he was picked and get to watch from a plane as they have done before.
Nope, I was wrong...
Poor Jason was sent packing. I don't understand why she let him get down on one knee. There was a big pause where she could have said something but she didn't and only stopped him after he was already down on his knee.
It was so cute to see Jesse and DeAnna when he proposed to her. Not saying that one was better than the other but honestly, I love Jason.
Jason, Mr. Romantic, sweet, honest, loving, safe, guy. But DeAnna want a safe guy? I doubt it. At least we know she isn't in it for the money! She let some pretty well off guys go Jason is an Account Executive and a Jeremy a Lawyer.
As for the After the Rose Ceremony, I was impressed with the way Jason carries himself. I love that he stands by his convictions. When he asked her when she knew he wasn't the one and she tried to say something about his son never being the reason, he said, "no...that wasn't my question." As if to say, if he was ever an issue there would have been no me and you anyway.
Ok...getting on to what happened leading up to the final rose.
We are in Georgia and DeAnna introduces her guys to her family.
Jason is the first one to met them and comes bearing beautiful flowers and a basket of wine or something. Cute. He asks her father for permission to marry her if she were to chose him. He tells her sister that he is in love with her and never felt this way before and DeAnna seems very content, proud and happy to be on his arm.
She worries about Jesse as Jason leaves because her family LOVED Jason. She is fear that they will not give Jesse the benefit considering just how different both guys are and she knows Jesse will be very nervous.
Jesse comes and IS very nervous. He isn't as forthcoming and the visit doesn't go as easy as Jason's.
After both guys leave, DeAnna tells her father that she feels "safe" with Jason and knows he shares the same family values that she does. Her dad thinks Jason's confession of love was more "heartfelt" than Jesse's was. DeAnna is disappointed to learn that Jesse did not ask for her father's blessing the way Jason did. Her father warns her that Jesse might not be as sure of what he wants as Jason is.
The next day the guys are going over to meet DeAnna's extended family but do not realize they will be doing it together. They both admit it is hard to see her holding the hand of the other guy. You think?
DeAnna's grandmother wants DeAnna to pick Jason. The sister and sister-in-law after chatting with Jesse find out how down to earth he is and that he should continue being himself. A "rad" free spirit.
Jesse asks DeAnna's father for permission to marry his daughter should he be chosen. Her dad says, he is honored to be asked and that Jesse has to keep his hair short if he is with his daughter.
Then they head to Bahamas for their final dates, where Jeremy is waiting to talk to DeAnna. He believes she's making a terrible mistake, but as kindly as she can, she assures him that as much as she cares about him, she doesn't love him and she couldn't bring herself to lead him on. She says it kills her that she doesn't love him back but she has to be honest with him.
She and Jesse head to a private island where they spend the day kissing. They head back to the room and he realizes it's his last chance to tell her how he feels, so he presents her with a "book of thoughts," in which he's written, "I truly believe you are my soulmate. I love you with all my heart." They kiss, but she doesn't tell him she loves him back, as she wants to be sure she's only saying that to one man.
The next day is her date with Jason. They go swimming with sharks! DeAnna talks about how exciting it is to see Jason live on the edge. At the hotel, he gives her a present to show how much she means to him. He made board game that has them reenacting all their dates, including their first kiss. One card instructs her to ask him something new and he says, "I love you D., I think you're perfect for me. I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
DeAnna is floored by how romantic he is and says, "He makes me feel like no one else does."
I think Jason has it in the bag and so does he.
He arrives the next day to a smiling DeAnna. They hug, smile, and he goes down on one knee to propose. She stops him and asks if she can talk to him. She tells him that "although I am falling in love with you, I love someone else."
*gasp*
DeAnna feels terrible about sending Jason away but believes she "can't live without" Jesse, and that in him, she has found her soulmate.
Jesse approaches, they kiss he goes down on his knee and says, yada, yada, ""DeAnna Marie Pappas, will you spend forever with me?"
Cute..
She says, "I love you, I've waited so long to say that. I can't believe I'm going to marry the guy with the pink shoelaces!"

The Bachlorette - The Men Tell All
I really love these shows.
Twilley discussing not really knowing what he wanted to do on the first night.
The guys discuss Jeremy and how much they hated him.
Jeremy takes the hot seat next to Chris.
Chris asks if Jeremy felt that he was two faced and if the guys statements are valid. He says no and that he listened to what DeAnna wanted and he come there to get to know her and that was what he was doing.
The guys discuss how Jeremy is a very genuine person but they felt he was harsh. They felt he was kicking them when they were down because he had a head up on them.
Ron states that he was not jealous. The crowd laughs and Ron tells him that he shouldn't be afraid to get out there and that they want him in the group.
They show Jeremy and DeAnna's relationship progression and then Chris asks about the end. Jeremy says he was shocked and "didn't want to go away."
He has a ton of questions and still gets that kicked in his stomach feeling when he thinks about her. He says, he was in love and that he created this space for her in his life and now there is a void there.
The next in the hot seat is Graham. We watch the progression of their relationship and he says they had some issues and that he was opening up more than we know. He felt that he and DeAnna were not doing what needed to happen in order for the relationship work. He tells Chris they had a special connection.
He is asked about the letter by and audience member and he says that he put what he felt about her in it.
DeAnna comes out and Chris asks Jeremy if he has anything to say. He dries sweaty palms and asks her when she knew when he wasn't the one for her because "you gave me the fantasy suite card and spent the night with me." Umm...what does go on in those private rooms?
She tells him that when she is on a date she only thinks about them. She didn't know he wasn't the one until she went on her dates with Jason and Jesse and she realized that she was falling in love with them. Stab!
When asked about Graham she says that he was always that guy that she couldn't have.
There was some light heartiness with the guys as they played some clips of bloopers. Cute and funny.
We hear from DeAnna that she is happy, that she is in love and that she is engaged.
For next week we hear both guys tell DeAnna how in love with her they are. If we are reading the way the edit the clip. We see Jason very happy as he kneels in front of D and Jesse not so much when they state the words "who will leave broken hearted?" Umm...only a few days until. I can't wait.

The Bachelorette - Episode 7
3 Guys left....I personally don't think she can do any wrong no matter which guy she chooses but DeAnna is not to sure. DeAnna is going to try to put Graham behind her but I guess we will see.
Jeremy is the first date in the Bahamas and she is concerned that they have been very serious on their past dates. She hopes he can cut loose on their vacation.
They are on a secluded island, riding jet skies and just enjoying each other. Jeremy tells us that he can't imagine his life without her.
Sitting on a blanket, two people who seemed to have a bond suddenly seem so distant. What did I miss? DeAnna tells us that now that Graham is gone, Jeremy seems to be holding back. Huh? Jeremy has made himself perfectly clear. He asks her to tell him something about herself that he doesn't know and she has no answer. Ummm..I like my eggs over easy, my coffee light with milk and my men, strong, hard and ready! Whatever, say something.
They met for dinner and giggle a bit, tell each other how great they look and then she tells him she just wants him to be himself. He tells her that he was the most nervous he has been since meeting her. He says, he cares about her and is afraid to lose her. "I would tell you that I am falling in love with you, but that has already happened."
They head to the fantasy suite and DeAnna tells us that things just keep getting better and better. She would be happy to spend the rest of her life with him and she is on cloud nine.
Her next date is with Jason and she really wants to make this date all about him which is great considering she is on a ummm...date with him. She has strong feelings for him since the home town date and tells us that "he is always so excited to see me, he always runs to me". It almost sounds like she is talking about a dog.
They go off roading and DeAnna is happy to see Jason not play it safe. She was bouncing around the jeep, that crazy Jason.
They take a floating dock over to a picnic and enjoy discussing their food likes and how they both try everything once. Then they feed the fish and head on over to a kayak waiting for them. Neither have ever kayaked before so I guess they are kayak virgins, tee hee...
DeAnna and Jason both tell us that they feel the date brought them closer together.
At dinner Jason tells her that if she wants to talk about Ty they can, but he wants to talk about them. She says, they can talk about both and he says, "that's great, that's my two favorite subjects right now."
DeAnna doesn't want the date to end and hand Jason the card telling them about the fantasy suite. He doesn't even finish reading it, grabs her hand and says, "let's go."
Back at the suite he gives her a little box with the tiniest sand dollar to remember their time together. Then he tellsher that he is falling in love with her.
DeAnna tells us that she is falling for Jason.
Next up is her date with Jesse (hey wait I just realized she has all J's: Jason, Jeremy and Jesse), she tells us that she needs him to be like her boyfriend today.
Jesse runs up to DeAnna and tells her that she always looks so hot. He tells us that he is falling for DeAnna "so hard". He also says that he doesn't want the other "knuckheads to get a shot at that." At what Jesse?
They take a horse ride in the surf and then settle down for a picnic.
If Jesse says, "you know" or "ridiculous" any more I am going to scream. Ummm...hello branch out babe. Find some more words.
At dinner (love DeAnna's outfit), Jesse asks D the question. The one that scares him to death. "When do you want to have kids? Right away?" She tells him she wants to be a young mom and he says he wants to be a young dad.
Then they discuss location and living in a snowy area for Jesse. She asks about his future career, "what are you going to do when there is no more sledding?" He tells her he needs to get his priorities straight, find the girl of his dreams and be happy."
She gives him the fantasy suite card and he tells her that he doesn't know if he can go to the fantasy suite until he meets her dad. She is shocked, he laughs and says he is just kidding.
I am wondering what goes on in those fantasy suites. She has had 3 different men that she has made out with all day long before heading into the PRIVATE suite. Ummm...inquiring minds want to know.
We head into the rose ceremony and DeAnna tells us that after letting Graham go she had no idea she could fall in love with any of these guys. Now, she is falling in love with all 3. Hello!!
"Jeremy, is perfect and has all the qualities that every girl would want."
"Jason, is one of the sweetest guys I have ever met."
"Jesse, that guy who started out as my friend and has continually grown on me ever since."
OK, wait...I am watching this right now and at the moment, (even though I already know the ending) I am thinking how amazing Jeremy looks. Damn!
She hands out roses to Jesse, and then Jason which obviously leaves poor Jeremy. She walks him out and tells him that he is perfect and that she is stupid for sending him home. She tells him that she has a bond with him that she doesn't have with any of the other guys but didn't want to confuse that bond with being in love.
He tells her that he is in love with her and that this is one of the worst days of his life.
At the car he whispers that he is going to miss her and she tells him the same.
In the car Jeremy says he didn't see this coming and that he doesn't want to lose another person he loves again. He asks the car to stop. He gets out and walks around. Poor Jeremy.

The Bachelorette - Episode 6
This episode takes us on the hometown dates.
First, DeAnna meets up with Jesse in his hometown of Brickenridge, Colorado where they check out some beautiful scenery. They had a great time snowboarding and DeAnna once again floored him with her "natural" ability to go for it. They were adorable as they skated down the mountain together.
They sit down and discuss meeting the parents. He tells her that his dad might whip his shirt up, rub his belly and say, "See this DeAnna, this is Jesse in a few years."
Jesse piggybacks DeAnna and rides down the mountain with her on his back. If you took the visual away from what she was saying it would sound like you were listening to porn. "Oh my God Jesse, Jesse, I can't believe you are doing this. Oh, oh, oh Jesse, this is big. Oh, oh..." to funny.
Jesse brings her to his place and she is surprised by a company that he created to help underprivileged kids. She wonders why he never told her that before but really when. He shares he with like a million other guys. I love that he didn't tell her because she is constantly getting surprised by him. This way if she eventually ends up with none of the guys which is the MO of this show, she will check out guys that she normally wouldn't be attracted to. Jesse has single handily opened up a whole world of otherwise "not her type" kind of guys for her.
His parents arrive and his mother is warm and his father is wearing an ice breaking, long wig.
They all hug, laugh and are instantly comfortable.
Sitting down to dinner they discuss the competition. Jesse talks about how hard it is to wait for your name to be called and getting the last rose is like she is saying, "this is for not kissing me buddy." Which makes me wonder if they have discussed the whole kissing thing and we were not able to see it because of editing.
His dad asks if D is a sharer, "do you tell your secrets?" She says that she is mostly brutally honest.
Jesse and his dad have an awesome, honest, open conversation about D. I love his father asking if when they look at each other, if she looks away. There are not many dads that I know would even know how to have this kind of relationship with their son, daughter or siblings.
DeAnna hears from both parents that they want him happy and with a women who will lift him up and basically make him the best he can be. They both tell her how important he is to them, how long they waited for him and the fact that he was called Jesse because it means "gift from God."
While talking to his dad, Jesse tells him that he would be open to a serious relationship but to not getting married in 2 weeks. Good for you Jesse. His dad tells him not to be afraid of it and tells him that he has to open himself up.
D asks his dad if he think Jesse is ready to be married and his father says yes but he is afraid of it. He gets teary describing how much he wanted Jesse and how he lives his life for him.
They finally kiss on the horse and carriage ride that Jesse planned for DeAnna.
After Jesse's date she heads to Dallas, Texas to hang out with Jeremy. He picks her up on a motorcycle and she is so excited and hot for him.
At his apartment she is floored by his perfect apartment, perfect dog, perfect closet, etc. She wonders where he isn't perfect. They look like a couple and he shares pictures of his family with her. His mom is beautiful and reminds me of DeAnna.
He reads to her his journal where he talks about watching his mother slip away and DeAnna and I are both crying.
DeAnna meets his brothers and his sister-in-law. I love when he was talking with his brothers and one mentions how she could be having this connection with other guys and Jeremy says that he doesn't do that. They he just concentrates on him and her and their connection. I think that is one of the most healthiest things someone can do, especially in this particular situation. If you can hold onto your self, your integrity, put yourself out there without worrying about getting hurt, you will be your true self and in the long run, you might possibly be the best choice for that person.
I adore Jeremy's relationship with his brothers and their closeness.
Jeremy tells her that he doesn't just want her, he needs her. If for some reason DeAnna choices someone else I hope that the network would consider Jeremy as the next bachelor.
Man, my tune has changed from say, here.
Her next hometown date is with Jason. I love how excited he got when he saw her. He was jumping up and down and grinning from ear to ear, like a kid waiting for a carnival to open up.
They go to the top of the space needle, kiss and according to DeAnna it was romantic. They discuss how many kids they want, 3.
Jason is going to see his son for the first time in weeks and it is the most perfect moment as he says, "Ty." Ty says, "'daddy" and they run toward each other. So adorable. DeAnna cries and tells us how perfect it was, like a movie. She says that she doesn't have to wonder what kind of dad he would be because she is getting to see it.
DeAnna meets the rest of Jason's family and fits right in. They are very nice, laid back and honest. They whole family seems to rally around each other and it appears that Ty is a very lucky boy having a family of adults who will drop for a game of leap frog with the cameras rolling.
Watching Jason say good-bye to Ty was very emotional. I give him credit. I could never do it. His entire family and DeAnna were crying as Ty held onto his dad and cried. So sad. DeAnna realizes that if he could leave the most important thing in his life to find love, that she could see herself spending her life with him.
I feel bad for her...I would never be able to make this decision based on the families. Jesse, Jeremy and Jason's families are all great.
Next up is Graham. Ahh, Graham. What can I say? I don't even know why she has kept him this long. He is so distant and indifferent that is a complete waste of her time.
Surprisingly he was very affectionate to her and they did a lot of hugging on the basketball court. He got her a jersey with his last name on it. He was very talkative and forthcoming.
His parents are a bit older but very sweet. His mom tells DeAnna how Graham doesn't have a lot of long term dates and that he doesn't let people in easily. She tells her that he is also a bit of a loner.
After the family meet, DeAnna and Graham sit outside on a bench. She tries to get information from him. It was so bizarrely uncomfortable that I felt the cameras should have been turned off. I am not sure what happened between meeting the parents and them sitting but they were so awkward. D asks if this is how he would be if they were alone and it was just the two of them (he has been saying that the reason he is the way he is, is because he is sharing her with other guys), he says, "this is how I am, so yeah." He was rubbing her back and so distant that it was creepy.
As we get to the next rose ceremony, I am sure of who should go but I am unsure of who she should pick.
Watching the guys walk in I am wondering if they already knew who was going home based on their presentation.
DeAnna gives Jesse a rose first, then Jeremy and then I expected Chris to come in to tell everyone this was the last rose (as if they didn't know). There was no Chris and DeAnna gave the last rose to Jason. I wasn't surprised. Her look said everything. She was dressed to kill and gave some evil looks over to Graham who swayed and grinned when he wasn't looking away from her eyes.
Graham tells her as they walk out that she did what she needed to do and that this was good-bye forever.
She tells him that she felt led on and he told her that if it is easier for her to think that, he is fine with that. She tried to tell him how hard this was and he head nodded and ahhh'd. She told him that she was letting go of the guy she felt that she was falling in love with. Which interestingly enough made him look away and put his hand to his head. What? What? Did something just get through to you? Why haven't you been listening? I don't get it. What is this cat's problem?
He stands and hands her a note in which he tells her he writes everything he knew he wouldn't be able to say to her. He tells her that it would mean a lot to her if she read it some day. He tells her that it is for her, not for any show or for anyone else.
Graham gets in the car and his eyes are red and rimmed with tears. DeAnna is crying and reading his note worrying that she is second guessing herself because she wants to be in love and that might not happen now. I think she needs to remind herself that she has 3 great, willing, open, loving, funny, caring honest guys sitting inside waiting for her.
First, DeAnna meets up with Jesse in his hometown of Brickenridge, Colorado where they check out some beautiful scenery. They had a great time snowboarding and DeAnna once again floored him with her "natural" ability to go for it. They were adorable as they skated down the mountain together.
They sit down and discuss meeting the parents. He tells her that his dad might whip his shirt up, rub his belly and say, "See this DeAnna, this is Jesse in a few years."
Jesse piggybacks DeAnna and rides down the mountain with her on his back. If you took the visual away from what she was saying it would sound like you were listening to porn. "Oh my God Jesse, Jesse, I can't believe you are doing this. Oh, oh, oh Jesse, this is big. Oh, oh..." to funny.
Jesse brings her to his place and she is surprised by a company that he created to help underprivileged kids. She wonders why he never told her that before but really when. He shares he with like a million other guys. I love that he didn't tell her because she is constantly getting surprised by him. This way if she eventually ends up with none of the guys which is the MO of this show, she will check out guys that she normally wouldn't be attracted to. Jesse has single handily opened up a whole world of otherwise "not her type" kind of guys for her.
His parents arrive and his mother is warm and his father is wearing an ice breaking, long wig.
They all hug, laugh and are instantly comfortable.
Sitting down to dinner they discuss the competition. Jesse talks about how hard it is to wait for your name to be called and getting the last rose is like she is saying, "this is for not kissing me buddy." Which makes me wonder if they have discussed the whole kissing thing and we were not able to see it because of editing.
His dad asks if D is a sharer, "do you tell your secrets?" She says that she is mostly brutally honest.
Jesse and his dad have an awesome, honest, open conversation about D. I love his father asking if when they look at each other, if she looks away. There are not many dads that I know would even know how to have this kind of relationship with their son, daughter or siblings.
DeAnna hears from both parents that they want him happy and with a women who will lift him up and basically make him the best he can be. They both tell her how important he is to them, how long they waited for him and the fact that he was called Jesse because it means "gift from God."
While talking to his dad, Jesse tells him that he would be open to a serious relationship but to not getting married in 2 weeks. Good for you Jesse. His dad tells him not to be afraid of it and tells him that he has to open himself up.
D asks his dad if he think Jesse is ready to be married and his father says yes but he is afraid of it. He gets teary describing how much he wanted Jesse and how he lives his life for him.
They finally kiss on the horse and carriage ride that Jesse planned for DeAnna.
After Jesse's date she heads to Dallas, Texas to hang out with Jeremy. He picks her up on a motorcycle and she is so excited and hot for him.
At his apartment she is floored by his perfect apartment, perfect dog, perfect closet, etc. She wonders where he isn't perfect. They look like a couple and he shares pictures of his family with her. His mom is beautiful and reminds me of DeAnna.
He reads to her his journal where he talks about watching his mother slip away and DeAnna and I are both crying.
DeAnna meets his brothers and his sister-in-law. I love when he was talking with his brothers and one mentions how she could be having this connection with other guys and Jeremy says that he doesn't do that. They he just concentrates on him and her and their connection. I think that is one of the most healthiest things someone can do, especially in this particular situation. If you can hold onto your self, your integrity, put yourself out there without worrying about getting hurt, you will be your true self and in the long run, you might possibly be the best choice for that person.
I adore Jeremy's relationship with his brothers and their closeness.
Jeremy tells her that he doesn't just want her, he needs her. If for some reason DeAnna choices someone else I hope that the network would consider Jeremy as the next bachelor.
Man, my tune has changed from say, here.
Her next hometown date is with Jason. I love how excited he got when he saw her. He was jumping up and down and grinning from ear to ear, like a kid waiting for a carnival to open up.
They go to the top of the space needle, kiss and according to DeAnna it was romantic. They discuss how many kids they want, 3.
Jason is going to see his son for the first time in weeks and it is the most perfect moment as he says, "Ty." Ty says, "'daddy" and they run toward each other. So adorable. DeAnna cries and tells us how perfect it was, like a movie. She says that she doesn't have to wonder what kind of dad he would be because she is getting to see it.
DeAnna meets the rest of Jason's family and fits right in. They are very nice, laid back and honest. They whole family seems to rally around each other and it appears that Ty is a very lucky boy having a family of adults who will drop for a game of leap frog with the cameras rolling.
Watching Jason say good-bye to Ty was very emotional. I give him credit. I could never do it. His entire family and DeAnna were crying as Ty held onto his dad and cried. So sad. DeAnna realizes that if he could leave the most important thing in his life to find love, that she could see herself spending her life with him.
I feel bad for her...I would never be able to make this decision based on the families. Jesse, Jeremy and Jason's families are all great.
Next up is Graham. Ahh, Graham. What can I say? I don't even know why she has kept him this long. He is so distant and indifferent that is a complete waste of her time.
Surprisingly he was very affectionate to her and they did a lot of hugging on the basketball court. He got her a jersey with his last name on it. He was very talkative and forthcoming.
His parents are a bit older but very sweet. His mom tells DeAnna how Graham doesn't have a lot of long term dates and that he doesn't let people in easily. She tells her that he is also a bit of a loner.
After the family meet, DeAnna and Graham sit outside on a bench. She tries to get information from him. It was so bizarrely uncomfortable that I felt the cameras should have been turned off. I am not sure what happened between meeting the parents and them sitting but they were so awkward. D asks if this is how he would be if they were alone and it was just the two of them (he has been saying that the reason he is the way he is, is because he is sharing her with other guys), he says, "this is how I am, so yeah." He was rubbing her back and so distant that it was creepy.
As we get to the next rose ceremony, I am sure of who should go but I am unsure of who she should pick.
Watching the guys walk in I am wondering if they already knew who was going home based on their presentation.
DeAnna gives Jesse a rose first, then Jeremy and then I expected Chris to come in to tell everyone this was the last rose (as if they didn't know). There was no Chris and DeAnna gave the last rose to Jason. I wasn't surprised. Her look said everything. She was dressed to kill and gave some evil looks over to Graham who swayed and grinned when he wasn't looking away from her eyes.
Graham tells her as they walk out that she did what she needed to do and that this was good-bye forever.
She tells him that she felt led on and he told her that if it is easier for her to think that, he is fine with that. She tried to tell him how hard this was and he head nodded and ahhh'd. She told him that she was letting go of the guy she felt that she was falling in love with. Which interestingly enough made him look away and put his hand to his head. What? What? Did something just get through to you? Why haven't you been listening? I don't get it. What is this cat's problem?
He stands and hands her a note in which he tells her he writes everything he knew he wouldn't be able to say to her. He tells her that it would mean a lot to her if she read it some day. He tells her that it is for her, not for any show or for anyone else.
Graham gets in the car and his eyes are red and rimmed with tears. DeAnna is crying and reading his note worrying that she is second guessing herself because she wants to be in love and that might not happen now. I think she needs to remind herself that she has 3 great, willing, open, loving, funny, caring honest guys sitting inside waiting for her.

The Bachelorette - Episode 5
Geez..these guys are dropping like flies. DeAnna has been kicking guys to the curb so quickly that the Producers already have to air a "DeAnna Tells All" one on one interview with Chris and DeAnna just to beef up the episode.
Last night Bachelorette episode starts out with Chris telling the guys they should pack up their bags because they, along with DeAnna are headed for Palm Springs.
When they arrive the first date box arrives and it is for Sean (Mr. Redneck). It tells him that they are going to take their relationship to the next height or something like that. He is sure that if he nails this date he will be in the final four and then a slam dunk on the hometown dates.
DeAnna and Sean take a tram up a mountain and Sean basks in DeAnna's fear as she holds on tight to him.
At the top they have dinner and then head down for some place warmer to discuss how a hometown date would go. He tells her and then adds that "she is the missing piece to his jigsaw puzzle". I am not sure about DeAnna, but I wouldn't find being compared to a tiny piece of cardboard romantic, but then again, I'm not "red" or "bluegrass."
After they kiss on the hamock, Sean is sure that he is in like Flyn.
The guys get the second date box and it is for Jason, Graham, Jesse, and Twilley which means that Jeremy will be getting the second solo date.
A separate helicopter comes for Twilley (who is in desperate need of some alone time) and DeAnna. The guys joke about Twilley who has trouble opening the door (really guys, how many people have experience with a helicopter door) and motion sickness. DeAnna was nervous that he would hurl in her pretty little lap but he managed to take deep breaths, thus eluding a very embarrassing an unromantic moment.
The date takes DeAnna and the guys on a wild, all terrain ride on some sand dunes. Jesse domineers the guys and his bike, making DeAnna all wet because he is the only guy who can keep up with her. They are so fierce! Grrr.
After the date they head to the pool where DeAnna takes Jason aside to ask him what a hometown date would be like. Did she ask Twilley? I don't remember! He tells her that she would meet his parents and his son Ty.
Jesse interrupts and wisks DeAnna to a different location where she tells him she was attracted to him and his wild, fearless riding. Oh hum. She leans in for a kiss but Jesse doesn't bite. What the hell? He tells her that he respects whatever she choose to do about her hometown picks. Well, that's good considering that he really doesn't have a choice.
Jason is telling the guys that Jesse interrupted his DeAnna time and Graham gets a bug to go interrupt Jesse's time. So juvenile. Whatever.
Graham walks and Jason tells Twilley again about DeAnna's attraction with Graham. Twilley asks if he thinks Graham is a "sure bet" bet and Jason says yes.
Graham and DeAnna cuddle in a hammock and DeAnna tells us that Graham gives her butterflies.
On the next solo date with Jeremy, she takes him to Frank Sinatra's house. They sing in Frank's studio and dance.
When DeAnna asks about a hometown date he says they will meet his brother, nieces and nephews. Then he confesses that both his parents have passed on and that his mother would have loved her.
She tells us that she could definitely see herself falling in love with Jeremy and that he makes her feel loved.
When the guys arrive at the house for the cocktail hour with DeAnna they are met by Chris who informs them that DeAnna has decided to forgo the party because she "has made up her mind, she already knows her final 4."
DeAnna enters and uses the Brad card again telling the guys that she was led on and doesn't want to lead anyone on.
She gives roses to Jeremy, Jesse, Graham and Jason, sending home Twilley and Sean.
Thank God because Sean annoys me.
Sean feels that he learned something about opening up to his dates in the future. So funny because earlier episodes he felt that a lot of the other guys burned out early because they opened up and now he was coming up along side. Dudes and all their weirdness.
I personally can't wait to see the hometown dates and to see who she is yelling at in the preview about how she "just wanted him to be THAT guy." I am assuming it is Graham but with DeAnna crying in every episode you never know which guy put her over the edge this time.

The Bachelorette Episode 4 Recap
I don't know about you guys but, I am really feeling Jason.
He really stood out to me in this episode.
Jason, Fred and Robert are living in the mansion with DeAnna this week.
For the first one on one date this episode the guys have to write and perform a song for DeAnna.
Jesse wins the sing off by getting down on one knee to seranade her.
DeAnna treats him to a spectacular evening complete with a personal marquee reading One Night Only, Just For You Jesse, Love DeAnna. I don't know about him but the whole one night only thing would have made me nervous. They also enjoyed a private show with Natasha Bedingfield.
Over dinner DeAnna asks him if he ever cheated on anyone. Jesse states that he hasn't and would break up before doing something like that. He also tells her he was sure he would be the last guy to fall in love but that he is falling for her. She tells him that she is usually not attracted to someone like him, but the more she gets to know him, the better she likes him. Cute. He gets the rose and is smitten and so am I. I love a guy who will dance.

The group date includes Brian, Twilley, Sean, Jeremy, Graham and Jason. They are told to start their engines. She takes them to a stock car racetrack where they will be driving. I love Jason's reaction to the cars. Cute. The guy who goes the fastest wins some one on one time.
Sean ends up winning and tells DeAnna on their one on one time that they are "a bit red." What, he called her a red neck? Come on dude. Are you trying to win this girl over?
After talking, Sean is sure that he's gone from last place to first.
Love this part, DeAnna gets behind the wheel next and outdrives them complete with peeling rubber as she takes off. Sean after watching proclaims, "That's my wife!" Yuck.
Jeremy takes DeAnna in the bus to talk to her alone. He informs her that he is definitely falling for her. She asks him about his reaction when he didn't win, and he admits he hates to lose. He says he misses not living at the mansion with her and she assures him she's been thinking of him.
Graham breaks up the chat and asks to talk to her. They walk away and Jason tells the other guys that he reads body language and has noticed that DeAnna has a different feeling for Graham. "They are very touchy feely." They are, she can't keep her hands off him.
Then the part that made me want to slap him for her...

DeAnna gives Graham a hug. He assures her that he is trying to be more open. She says, "you're going to kiss me right? or you are going to give me a kiss" and he says, "I don't want to be one of a bunch." Is this guy kidding me??? What the hell? Who does he think he is? What is he trying to say about her by making this statement. I was appealed and hoped that she would finally see what a tool this dude is.
DeAnna, shocked by this pulls her hand back. She is on the verge of tears (why do we like guys who make us cry?) He tells her not to get mad and she says she's not mad, she's hurt.
She tells him that all they have are these moments together, so he shouldn't just blow them off. "It takes away from me and you," she says, but he answers, "Sometimes I don't feel like it's just me and you here." Umm..duh asshole, you signed on to date her along with 25 other guys. What a friggin tool!
At the end of the date, DeAnna gives Sean a rose.
The next date is for Fred and Robert. Robert again with his kissing science is sure that whomever DeAnna kisses, she'll keep, since he's sure that she won't kiss two men in one night. Umm...ok.
Jesse and Jeremy decide to throw a party. They invite DeAnna and the guys at the mansion to hang out with them.
The guys set up a kiddie table for the dudes at the Mansion complete with kiddie chairs and name cards. Robert is not pleased see that his name card reads, "Bobbie." He also refuses to wear the chef hat they give him and throws a chair before heading inside to sulk. A-hole if you want to win the girl. Take what they are giving you and run with it. Put on the damn hat which sets up apart from the rest and show her you can roll. Dick!
DeAnna feels like she doesn't belong, most of the guys are bonding, Graham is avoiding her and Robert took off.
DeAnna goes to Robert and he admits that there is talk that DeAnna's already chosen her final three. I love that these guys have chosen for her. She doesn't even know her final 3 yet.
Robert feels that DeAnna's getting angry today was a sign that she cares about him.
For Robert and Fred's date, they head to a house in the Hollywood Hills. I am totally grossed out when a red, sweaty faced Robert asks DeAnna if he can kiss her after telling her that you can tell a lot from a first kiss. She gives him her cheek and he is smitten, believing that they have a strong connection.
Fred asks DeAnna to leave a small area of her heart for him. She seems surprised by Fred so I was surprised when she sent both guys packing.
She informs Robert that she cannot give him the rose, and that she has to tell him goodbye. In the limo, Robert says, he is "destroyed," and that he was "100 percent sure" he was getting the rose. Fred now thinking he is getting the rose looks a bit surprised when she says, "she was led on by Brad and that she can't bring herself to lead him on." She fights back tears as she says that this is very difficult for her as she considers him one of the best guys there.
Since it was Fred, Robert and Jason at the mansion when she arrives home Jason is waiting for her. He gives her a big hug when he opens the door for her. He's glad that he can be there for her, while Graham realizes he's missing a golden opportunity that he's not the guy to comfort DeAnna tonight. Bwwaahhh..
DeAnna and Jason cuddle under a blanket outside and kiss. In voiceover, she says there's no one else she would have rather been with. Jason realizes he now has a huge advantage over everyone else. He gives her a kiss and holds her hand as he escorts her down to the cocktail party.
After he's questioned by the other guys, Jason reveals that he spent most of the night after DeAnna's date trying to cheer her up and Jesse is jealous

Since Fred and Robert were already elminated she only has to send 1 guy home.
She hands out roses to Jason, Jeremy, Twilley and Graham which leaves Brian. I must admit, I am not a Brian fan but I would take him over Twilley anyday.

The Bachelorette Episode 3


This past Monday's episode was good and I think DeAnna sent the right guys home.
I am not sure if I missed something but I don't understand the guys jealousy over Jeremy. Get over it. Has he done something that I missed? Why do they hate him so much other than him being the front runner?
Paul, Graham and Jeremy move up to the main house. It should be interesting because DeAnna has an obvious something for Graham and Jeremy which tells me that Paul will be totally left out.
Back at the house the other guys are questioning Jesse about what is going on in the main house since he was there last week. He tells them that they are pooling, hot tubing and hanging around a bikini clad DeAnna.
Richard (Science Teacher) gets a one on one date with DeAnna. He is a little stressed because his bags will be packed before the date and if he doesn't get a rose he will be going home. This is a make or break date.
The date seems to be going well until he mentions that he has never brought a girl home to meet his parents. He is only 27 so I am not that shocked about this but she seemed to be.
Creepy or not, Richard has a whole calculation involved in his trying to get a kiss, "I will use the 80/20 rule. I am going to lean in 80 percent and see, blah, blah." I must be getting old because I had no idea there was a whole scientific calculation to getting the first kiss.
Poor Richard, DeAnna sees that he is feeling it but she isn't, so she lets him go. Telling him in "Brad" fashion that he has all the things she is looking for but she isn't feeling what she needs to feel.
The guys at the house watch Richard's bags being removed and are shocked.
The guys and DeAnna head out on their group date to enjoy some bull riding, and square dancing.
Jesse stayed on the bull the longest and also was the first to DeAnna's rescue when she faked a fall from the bull. Looking at the tape again Jeremy was the first to make a move to go over to her, Jesse was just quicker.
She took some one on one time with Jesse as a reward and he again surprises her with some sweet talk (farting and poop talk).
Later, DeAnna and Ron take some time to talk alone. He talked about how Jeremy is not a strong. Ron, said he is a "guys, guy" and Jeremy is not. What the hell is a guy's guy?
When he gets back to the guys he discusses how his and DeAnna's talk was about Jeremy. Since he has the guys as backup he decides to call Jeremy out and show him how all the other guys agree with him.
Jeremy and DeAnna sit and talk about the other guys while Graham and Jack sneak up on them to break up the conversation. Neither guy has had one on one time.
Robert melts DeAnna with some sweet talk and she presents him with a rose.
The second one on one date is DeAnna and Jason. A helicopter picks them up and brings them to the planetarium. Jason really wants to tell her about his son Ty.
The guys sit around discussing Jason and what will happen when he tells her about Ty.
Jason toasts DeAnna and tells her he hopes she finds what she is looking for. She asks if he misses his family and he says yes, but the person he misses most is his son. "The most important thing in my world is my son Ty." She tells him not to be nervous and he says he knows it's a lot but she assures him it's ok. He shows her pictures and she is excited and says he is very handsome.
Jason asks her about her mom and she opens up about her mom's cancer and how it affected her and her life. She says she has never dated anyone who cared to ask about her mother. She gives him a rose sealing him a position for another week.
Next, the guys go on Ellen and Ellen gives a rose to Fred because of how he opened up to her.
Ron tries to redeem himself to DeAnna but fails. Jeremy saves DeAnna from having to listen to anymore of his crap. Ron heads inside and he and the guys talk about Jeremy. Ron distrubes me.
Jeremy asks DeAnna if she would ever leave her home to move to Dallas. She tells him that if she was to chose him or whomever she would be willing to move. Jeremy tells her he is emotionally in it and he is there for as long as she keeps him. Ellen told her that she felt he was ready to commit right now!!
The guys ask Jeremy if he kissed her he says he doesn't like to talk about that but yes he did kiss.
Graham gets one on one time with DeAnna and she talks to him about his relationships or his lack of them. He tells her that he has some concerns about her going through the process and the whole kissing thing. Yada, yada.
DeAnna presents Jason with a certificate for a star that she had named after his son. Sweet.
DeAnna hands out roses to everyone except Paul and Ron (I am so happy she finally sent Ron home. He needed to go last week).
Poor Paul. He is young and I feel so bad for him.
Ron doesn't feel rejected. "Sometimes the tree gets knocked down before it even gets to bear its fruit." "If DeAnna choses Jeremy, "it is doomed for failure". "DeAnna didn't reject me, she chose other guys."
Yuck!!

The Bachelorette Recap Episodes 1-2

DeAnna, the luckiest girl on the planet, get to be top dog and chose between 25 guys who all want to be "the guy."
The guy come out of the limo individually and meet DeAnna, who looks stunning.
Not a single one catches my eyes except Jason (a single dad) because he seems very sweet, shy and appears to feel unworthy.
Too many guys to write about so basically she sends off whatever like 6 of them. I don't remember nor do I care.
Episode 2 we see the guys heading to their "primitive guesthouse." DeAnna will invite 3 guys to stay up at the house with her. The 3 first impression roses she gave out are the lucky dogs. This week it will be Jeremy, Jesse and Richard.
Most of the guys seem like frat guys. Get a bunch of dudes together and they act like, well, guys.
It is also interesting and a bit disturbing to hear them discuss whether she is ready to kiss any of them yet.
Her first group date is with Jason, Ryan, Twilley, Sean, Paul, Fred and Richard, who'll be joining DeAnna at the Magic Castle in L.A. A magician asks DeAnna to join him and she selects Jason as her assistant. They both get into a small box , the lid is closed, and when the magician opens it back up, Jason and DeAnna are gone. The other men look like shocked little boys. Where did our toy go?
Jason and DeAnna end up somewhere else in the castle and he feels her out about kids but doesn't divulge his little 3 year old secret waiting at home.
The second date is a solo and she invites Graham (who is one of the guys she for some reason she has the hots for).
They go to the beach, kite fly and talk about his lack of serious relationships at 29. She gives him a rose anyway but hopefully she will red flag this for later.
He tells the guys he kissed her which shows he has no tact either. I'm grossed out by him.

The next date is a group date for Chris, Robert, Brian, Jesse, Ron, Jeremy, and Eric. They head over to Dodger Stadium. The guys compete for some one on one time with DeAnna and Jeremy wins.
They hang in the dug out and DeAnna tells Jeremy (She has a strong connection with this guy too but I am not sure why), that she still doesn't feel she knows him any better even though they are living in the same house. He says, he's guarded, and becomes emotional as he revels that both his parents are dead, and that playing baseball makes him feel close to his dad. DeAnna has never dated anyone who's also lost a parent and feels a really strong connection to Jeremy after his revelation. Jeremy gets his second rose and the guys are pissed.
Back at the rose ceremony, Ron asks pointblank why DeAnna didn't distribute the roses more widely. She admits that it seems unfair that Jeremy got a second rose after he'd already spent a week in the mansion, but, without going into details, she tells them it's because Jeremy opened up to her more than anyone else did. I am shocked that Ron feels he has the right to question how DeAnna divides up her roses. LOSER!
DeAnna tells Jeremey that the other guys have been giving her a hard time about giving two roses to the same man. Jeremy doesn't mention that that they've also been giving him a hard time. He explains the Greek phrase he told her on the first night, which means, "I came here to meet you." A kiss on the cheek turns into a real kiss and Jeremy feels he's falling for her already.
Rose ceremony, annoying, anticipating music is cued and DeAnna sends home 3 guys in the end.
DeAnna Pappas - The New Bachlorette
We already knew DeAnna Pappas. She is the beautiful girl who was rejected at the end of The Bachelor last season.
Interview with Brad Womack with Ellen after the Show
Anywho, the producers saw what a piece of ass she was and decided she would be the next Bachelorette.
Interview with Ellen where DeAnna found out she was the NEW Bachelorette.
Here is a little clip from someone on You Tube that introduces all the cats she gets to chose from.
Seriously, how lucky is this girl. I don't see any that are "my" type but I hope DeAnna has the same kind of luck that the first and only other bachlorette found with Ryan.

Good luck DeAnna.
