So instead of keeping Jeremy to "not lead him on" she keeps Jason, the guy who's son is waiting for him at home.

I don't understand this line of thinking. Shouldn't that be a consideration that Jason should be more concerned about than DeAnna? He decided to go on the show. He decided to be away from his son for a couple of weeks.

I don't get it either. Do divorced dads not deserve to have a woman in their life? The way some people talk they make it sound as if Jason should give up on the idea of romantic love just because he has a son. He should be looking out for his own interests, too.

To me, it's more that she was SO concerned about leading Jeremy on...when she obviously did that to Jason too. I definitely think it was his choice to be on the show, but Deanna's concerns seemed to only pertain to things that had happened to her in the past (with the infamous Brad leading her on, etc.) and not so much to anything else.

Wait, in response to the post above....I never said anything about Jason not being allowed to find love, etc. I think it's fine he went on the show, but she should have realized that she was hurting him as well as his child by keeping him there when she already knew she was going to pick Jesse. My point is: Why so much concern for Jeremy's feelings and (seemingly) less for Jason's?

According to her, she didn't know she was going to pick Jesse until the morning of the proposals. She was right to keep Jason there to the end if she thought he could be the guy she would pick. Re: my comment, I wasn't necessarily directing it at you...there seem to be a lot of people on the "he spent so much time away from his son" bandwagon.
