The guys she picked were the guys i'd probably pick. That was sort of nice. I'm sure a few idiots slipped in. Like snowboarder guy (ick, shower already). And I think karate guy made it in too, somebody PLEASE cut that mullet. Ick. And I'm glad goofy actor guy didn't make it in, he skeeved me out.

I was also shocked she picked the mullet-karate-master. One thing I love about the Bachelor/Bachelorette is the frickin' preview they give you the FIRST EP that shows basically everything that's going to happen. Based on that, it looks like karate guy sticks around for a while. At least long enough to go on a one-on-one that involves riding horses through the surf. Based on the preview, I think snowboard guy goes home next week. There weren't many shots of him. I sort of understand why she kept him though - a genuinely different guy that didn't make a total jerk of himself. I was surprised she kept Paul (is that the name of the guy with the DeAnna speedo?).
The whole "three people move into DeAnna's house per week" thing is going to make for an interesting dynamic. I can see that it's going to cause drama. *Gets excited* The show definitely needed spicing up.
The thing that surprises me is DeAnna's apparently insane emotions. We already have her telling one guy she can't lead him on - it's not apparent to me if that's at two-on-one date where she can only choose one to stay, or she's just telling some guy this before the rose ceremony. Also the scene where she apparently walks out of the rose ceremony crying. And most dramatically, the scene where she bitches out all the guys. I'm sorry, but unless something REALLY major goes down that justifies her behavior, if I was one of the guys, that would give me MAJOR pause about her.
I also noticed they're not plugging a proposal very hard. In fact the only person we got shots of in the finale was DeAnna herself. HMMMM. The weird aspect about the Bachelorette is that the Bachelorette chooses but then in the end it's the responsibility of the guy to choose the ring and propose or whatever. It just seems like an extremely awkward dynamic. And also stuck like 40 years ago or something.
