Who is DeAnna? And, why is she coming back? Is she one of the crazies?

DeAnna is the bachelotette that Jason fell for but she chose the other guy... I guess she comes back to say she made a mistake and wants another chance.

My pick, from day one, has been Melissa...

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Thanks for clarifying that.

I'd imagine that sort of thing would happen a lot with this show -- they develop these relationships simultaneously and then HAVE to pick one . . . it just seems dreadfully hard for them to decide. Uggh. I could never do it, not on either side.

 

[Dreamgirl]

I so badly wished I could post with you all in this tread but I DVR this show and usually don''t get to it until the weekend

I haven''t read anything in here since my last post....

I wish I could talk about it toooooooooooooo.

I am amazed at how well the girls seem to like each other this time. I think they should ALL live together. I love Stephanie but she is a bit too formal...''Sophia and I have so much fun together, much like you and Tye." Who talks like that? But I still was very impressed by her attitude. I agree that Naomi is next to go. Not sure who I think the final rose will go to. Can''t say any of them really wow me and there was some kind of drama about Melissa''s family not wanting to meet him in next week''s previews. Can''t imagine marrying into that.

I could especially if it stayed like that, lol

I really like Stephanie too, I bet she won''t have any trouble finding her man now.

I agree, the girls do really seem to like each other. Oh and I don''t think Melissa''s family didn''t want to meet him, they just didn''t want to be on national TV. Not sure I blame them really, especially if they didn''t want their daughter doing the show or something. I can''t wait to watch next week and find out though....

Yes, that was my impression too. I think they just didn't want to be on TV, and I don't blame them one bit, especially the way these episodes get picked apart. Heaven forbid they make the wrong choice and invite the happy couple to participate in a dove burial, or something like that (is that what Naomi's family does

), then they'd have to deal with the analysis afterward!! Some people just aren't comfortable being in the spotlight. I can't begrudge them for that.

uhhh....he didn''t just fall for her, Deanna let Jason go down on one knee and propose to her before she flat-out rejected him!!!

I''m also looking forward to the drama that ensues when she comes back!!!

 

[ChinaCat]

That''s harsh, I didn''t know that about Deanna. I didn''t watch that one.

I did notice how much the girls all actually seem to be friends and like one another. Nice to see.

 

[Diamond*Dana]

I liked Stephanie, but agree that she is a bit formal. I was surprised he sent her home over Naomi though. I just don''t see those 2 together. I like Melissa, and I also like Molly. I think that it will be down to those 2.

When is Deanna coming back? I am excited for that one! Not because I liker her, I did when she was on The Bachelor but not after what she did to Jason, but I am really craving some drama with that one

 

[BlueSki231]

I loved Stephanie.. but if he wasn''t feelin it, he wasn''t feelin it.

I think Deanna will be back for the finale. I''m reallly looking forward to seeing what happens with that...

When is the finale?? I missed last weeks so I am soooo out of the loop!

 

[Dreamgirl]

I watched it the other night! So now I can post.

I really loved Steph. I thought she was so sweet. I had a feeling however, that he wouldn''t pick her because there isn''t as much of a romantic connection as with the other girls. I really hope they make her the next Bachelorette because she deserves so much happiness!

I can''t believe he picked Naomi. I can''t stand her. She''s all wrong for him.....

I also don''t think she''s ready for marriage let alone be a mother to Ty.

I also think Jillian isn''t right for him either.

I really love Molly. I think she''s sweet and exactly what he''s looking for. But when it comes down to it, I think he will pick Melissa. He seems to have the best connection with these 2 girls.

And lastly, I think DeAnna only comes back to possibly give Jason advice and not to get him back......what do you think? You know how those previews just love to mess with your head.

Sorry I said so much but I usually watch what I DVRed over the weekends and then it''s too late to post!!

Naomi is....ick!! She looked like a man with that hat on earlier in the show!! She has some growing up to do.

haha! My words exactly.

 

[musey]

While I'm not that big of a Deanna fan, I didn't think the let-down was so bad. She did not handle it as gracefully as she should have, but I think that was a function of her being torn between the two guys still, especially seeing him and feeling happy (obviously, from her reaction to him when he came up to her). It's hard in the Bachelorette format because even though she picks the person, he's the one who proposes... where on the Bachelor, it's the guy doing everything, so he can do a little song and dance with the "you're great.... but" for the let-down girl and a "you're great... so marry me" for the 'winner.' But with the Bachelorette, there's this weird "when do I start talking to him" thing. You know?

Here's a video that's way too long, but it starts happening at around 1:30 or so.
The Bachelorette Finale - Deanna and Jason

All that happens is that they have a little greeting and some cute small talk, then he kneels. So she didn't really have a big role in him starting to propose to her.

Here's the "after the final rose" thing (you can skip forward to about 0:40):

After the Final Rose, Jason Speaks to DeAnna

She already seemed really remorseful then. Who knows if she knew at the time that she'd made a mistake, but it sort of seemed like it... especially given that she didn't make an actual decision between the two of them until the morning of the final ceremony.

It's hard to imagine him wanting to go back, after you've been hurt like that by someone... it's just so difficult, if not impossible, to get over it. But who knows. He said he loved her during that season, and maybe he did... and if he truly did, maybe it's something he'd consider.


All that said, I'm fully on team Jillian! I like both Molly and Melissa as well, and they were early favorites for me, but Jillian is my fave

Though I don't think he'd pick her in the end from what we've seen up to this point, because they don't seem to have much 'spark.' She does seem great though, and it you can be friends with your SO the way they are with each other then you're doing pretty great IMO!

I just saw this on People.com - The Bachelor’s Stephanie: Jason and I Were Just Friends

Thanks for the links to the videos Musey. I just re-watched the finale and I don''t think that we can really fault Deanna on the fact that Jason got down one knee. As soon as he started to get down there she started to tell him to get up. He just sorta went for it without giving Deanna a chance to let him down nicely.

I really feel duped by the whole Deanna and Jesse thing. I actually thought that they were going to eventually be getting married. I never believed that the Navy doctor/Tessa would work out or the British dude/that annoying blond actress would either but for some dumb reason I truly believed Deanna and Jesse would make it.... Oh well.

Can''t wait to see who he chooses. I really hope it works out for his this time.

Me either! I would do the same thing. I like my privacy and have NO desire for fame in anyway.

Well it''s down to 4 girls! So 4 or 5 weeks probably...

Good point Dreamgirl.. they may have been messing with our minds - Deanna could just show up to give some advice and not really stir things up, who knows...
can''t wait to find out though!

***kind of a spoiler alert having to do with DeAnna***


Ok, so I picked up the latest issue of US Weekly yesterday while I was out at Target. And in it, it says DeAnna is now dating Ace from the Real World Paris (also from Georgia). So I am pretty sure they just edited the whole thing and she is really just there to give him advice. Although, I wouldn''t take what US Weekly says as fact, but just thought I would share!

Sorta what I was thinking about the whole thing. In the first episode they pieced together a montage involving Deanna showing up, the girls acting shocked, and then a scene of him doubled over in tears on a balcony. This all led me to believe that he was crying over Deanna but I agree that they are just messing with us and she doesn''t really make a come back and that shes really only around to give some advice about making the final choice.

Can''t wait to watch tonight!!

 

[steph72276]

I know, I can''t wait!!!

I need to catch up, can''t wait for tonight!!

Does anyone else get annoyed with how many times Jillian says "like" in a sentence?

"And I spent like every summer here for 20 like years when I was like growing up."
"Theres this like loch ness like monster out in the like lake and this like one time when I was like tubing with my like cousin I like touched it with my like foot."

She sounds like a 16 year old girl, not a 29 year old woman.

Did you notice that when shes being interviewed for the in between stuff she doesn''t say it as much? She actually speaks eloquently and just like (crap I was trying to avoid using that word...) her own age!

Has anyone noticed how often Jason refers to someone on the show as "the most amazing person" he''s ever met? I think he said that about Nikki, Steph, and others.

like, totally!

Can I just point out that Jillian''s date aired until 9:37 (subtract a couple of minutes for recap and a commercial), then Molly''s date aired until 9:51. It must have been pretty uneventful for reality tv! I didn''t check the clock for the other dates because I decided to log onto PS and I apparently can''t multitask...

I was going to say that I would chalk it up to nerves and/or excitement. I know that it happens to me sometimes, and during or immediately after speaking, I''m like "Crap! I just said like 10 times!" I *feel* like a 16 year-old when I do that but I feel like I can''t control it!

 

[Clairitek]

I find myself growing quite a dislike for Jillian but I don''t find myself truly rooting for anyone else. For some reason I just can''t get behind the two of them together but he seems realllllllly into her.

 

[meresal]

I LOVE this season!!
