The Bachelorette ~ The Men Tell All

OK this show really answered a few questions for me.

They talked to a lot of the memorable guys. The two I was most interested in were Jeremy and Graham.

Graham said that he wished Deanna had asked “What are we doing to not be successful as a couple”, and said that he didn’t feel he wasn’t opening up, but that he felt Deanna took that for granted. He could have shut her down by refusing a rose, but by accepting, he allowed her into his life, especially with the home town date.

Jeremy said he still has feelings for Deanna and isn’t quite sure what happened. He said that everything he thought love was, Deanna portrayed.

Deanna explained that there were a lot of signs or flags with Graham, and that she just couldn’t see herself with him long term. She thought she was giving more than he was, which in watching I agreed with.

With Jeremy, she said that she realized in the Bahamas that she wanted the bond with Jeremy so badly that she tried to push what they had in common, with the death of a parent, into feelings that she just couldn’t keep forcing. I think her revealing this really answered a lot of questions as to why she let such a great guy go. I think that it would be awesome to have Jeremy as “The Bachelor” and give him a second chance at love.

After watching the sneak peak of the final show, I really think that Jason will be the last guy standing.

The Bachelorette

This week, Deanna took the final 3 guys to the Grand Bahama Island.

Her first date was with Jeremy. It was very romantic, and Jeremy told Deanna that he would like to tell her he is falling in love with her, but that he can’t because he already has. I think Jeremy is the perfect guy for Deanna. Jeremy and Deanna spend the night in the fantasy suite.

The Second date was with Jason. They went off roading, and Kayaking, and had a lot of fun. Jason told Deanna that he has mad him realize that he can fall in love again, because he is falling in love with her. Deanna and Jason spend the night in the fantasy suite.

The last date was with Jesse, where they went horse back riding, and walked on the beach. Jesse told Deanna that he is totally falling for her… OK that just sounded like a dumb blond speaking… Jesse pulls a joke on Deanna telling her he isn’t sure if he can go to the Fantasy Suite with her before he meets her dad. When she asks ‘Are you serious?’ he starts cracking up, and says No, he was waiting for her to ask. They spend the night in the fantasy suite.

At the rose ceremony, I was sure that Jesse would be sent home, but to my surprise, he got the first rose. The last rose went to Jason, sending Jeremy home. Deanna told Jeremy that she is stupid for sending him home, and that he is the perfect guy… I don’t really understand her reasons here. Jeremy is crushed by this, and I don’t blame him. They really had something, but Deanna says she doesn’t want to make the mistake of that the bond they have from both having parents who have passed away as love. I don’t think she really realized that there was more to the relationship than the similarity they had with this issue. Jeremy doesn’t know how he will deal with another person he loves leaving his life.

Anyways, next week Deanna takes Jason and Jesse home to meet her family. Right now I have no idea who she is going to pick, but if I have to make a prediction I think it is going to be Jason.
