The final week of The Bachelorette was surprises all around.
Deanna took Jesse and Jason home to meet her family. Jason did very well and overall made a wonderful impression with her family. Jesse really crashed and burned meeting the family. He had trouble expressing himself, and was extremely nervous.
The next day Deanna brings the bachelors over to meet the rest of her family, but surprise #1 both guys show up to meet her family together… Talk about awkward!! Jesse does better in being himself and opens up to the family more. Jason has a heart to heart with Deanna’s grandma who tells him that she thinks he is the one for her.
After the guys leave, Deanna grills her family for answers as to who they think is better.
After this Deanna and the guys return to the Grand Bahama island and have their final dates.
Surprise #2: The night they return, Deanna has a meeting with Jeremy who she let go last week. He told her, that it was partially his fault for not opening up and telling her everything he felt. He was so afraid of being hurt again. She told him that she just didn’t love him, and that she was falling in love with Jesse and Jason. It was tearful and she says she hopes that she explained it to him so that he understands.
Jesse and Deanna fly to a secluded island, and when they return to the hotel he gives her a book of feelings that shows how he feels about her. He is totally head over heels in love with this woman… sounds a bit crazy and can we like say valley girl speak like totally ruins it?
The last date with Jason is swimming with the sharks. Deanna and Jason are crazy, but he really shows her that she can depend on him to be adventurous but still be the pillar of strength in her life. They share a romantic evening recounting their dates together.
The final surprise: The final rose cerimony comes…
The first limo pulls up… OMG she’s sending Jason home… Complete blindside… I can’t believe she’s choosing Jesse… Jason heads up and they start talking. He starts to get on one knee to propose, and she tells him she can’t. That she is in love with someone else. She is so sorry, and all the time, only one solitary tear runs down her face. Hello, you showed more emotion talking to Jeremy who you let go last week than you are showing this man you are telling that you are falling in love with, but that you love someone else more… I feel like Jason has been cheated, and lead on by her with this. She sends him home, only to wait for the man she has chosen.
The second limo pulls up, and she just can’t wipe the grin off of her face. I’m still in shock… I did not see this coming in a million years. Jesse of course runs up to her, and they kiss. He proposes asking her if she will spend forever with him, to which she answers yes. She then says “I can’t believe I’m marrying the man with pink shoelaces.”
I feel so cheated by this season, and I really can’t see why she picked Jesse. I guess this is the same as I can’t see why Matt chose Shane… Maybe it’s just me, but I would want so much more out of a relationship than what both of these couples chose.
Anyways Jesse & Deanna are planning a May 9, 2009 wedding.
