It's not that surprising. Ever heard of Myrtle Beach?

Agreed with everyone that single dad is cute. From the edit I couldn't tell, but it seems like he might the front-runner that the other guys are whining about moving in with DeAnna first? One thing I was waiting for is if Jenni asked single dad the kids question. LOL. That would be awkward if he hadn't mentioned it to DeAnna and then Jenni asked him point blank.

I reaaaaaaally like Richard the science teacher.

I sort of liked scruffy Brian, but to give her the benefit of the doubt he didn't seem to have very much of a personality.

A couple of the guys were playing the Greek angle. I loved when Eric (that's his name right?) clearly spoke better Greek than DeAnna did. LOL! But wondering if that will lead to a strong connection between them.

I thought the guy that got the very first rose was really not that hot. In fact I thought the hottest guy was the African American math teacher. But the black contestant alway seems to get cut right away. Exception: Marshana from last season.

My roommate was flabbergasted she kept the bar owner from NYC via Raleigh because she thought DeAnna would be scared off from bar owners after Brad. LOL. He was one of the hotter contestants though, and from the previews it looks like he sticks around a while.

My final comment: I don't see why she gave the Christian football player the benefit of the doubt and not Chandler. I guess the duck call was weird but I thought it was kind of fun and cheesy and totally not as creepy as the stuff a lot of contestants do on the first episode. She forgave the football player for the glasses guy (UGH - he was nasty) sabotaging him, but didn't forgive Chandler when the abs guy sabotaged him. Speaking of which, I don't remember if abs guy stayed or not...

I wasn't looking forward to this much but it does look like they're upping the drama both by design and by DeAnna's tempestuous personality. I'm in.

OK, I just read online that Jason (adorable single dad) knows Bevin from a couple seasons ago on The Bachelor (remember, she came in second to Tessa with Dr. Andy). In fact, Bevin was a bridesmaid in his wedding!

Speaking of Bevin, I heard that she got engaged (read it on Kate Brockhouse's - from the same season - blog):

Speaking of engagements, Jenni was sporting a mad engagement ring last night. Anyone have the scoop on that?

I didn't watch, but I just found out that I know of Chandler. He went to Elon and graduated two years after me. I've met him a few times at various parties. He's apparently going to be on Cash Cab soon, too. I heard he's trying to break into the business and is doing the reality show route to get his face out there.

Is he the one who got "misty" in his exit interview? My first thought after that was, "he's vying to be the next Bachelor". And he needs a haircut.

He looked the part of a total southern frat boy (including the shaggy "frat hair") but some things were off for me. His tag line said he was from Spotsylvania County but he kept talking about how he was from Virginia Beach. Then the crying thing, which I think was totally faked for the camera. A bit of trying too hard. The duck call was admittedly right on, though.

He is from here. There was an article in our paper about the guy. His twin sisters nominated him!

As for The Bachelor/Bachelorette series, if I hear Chris Harrison call it the most "dramatic/romantic" whatever, I am going to throw something at the tv. Drives me nuts!

I think they showed Jenni's update when they have that special edition of "The Bachelor - Where are they now?" or something like that. They showed how Brooke (from The Bachelor with Aaron) was now married, and how the crazy Miss Iowa was still single, but had a house and a dog, and how Heather from Texas did the Bachelor twice, and now she's married....

Oh Lord..that and the "for the rest of my life"...it's sick and nauseating. ENOUGH ALREADY.

OTW, I never watch the show although I know she's on.

All I know is that she is a Realtor in town. I canceled my paper subscription in Feb. when I thought we were going to sell our house. Maybe it I renew it, we'll get an offer, lol.

Wonder if she knows the hometown girl that won the Miss Hooters Swimsuit competition last year.

Aw, man, it figures. My DVR missed that episode for some reason, so I never saw it. I'll have to see if it's online. Jenni was my favorite!

I was really surprised that she kept him too. As soon as he said what he did, I figured he was toast, even though he's hot!
