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.

I'm sorry, but I just have a hard time believing that she didn't know she was going to pick Jesse until that last morning! Totally my opinion, but, a woman who truly thinks she is going to get proposed to by the man she loves will have a sneaking suspicion of who really "floats her boat, revs her engines, gets her spark going, etc" before the morning of the "engagement"

I don't think she really LOVED either one of them. The only one that she seemed to have that "animal attraction" to was Graham. The whole - "we were friends first, and then it turned to love" - over, what? 3 months, tops, seems like a bunch of hooey to me. She wanted to "be in love", she wanted to "be engaged", well, now she is...on national TV!!!

I give it 2 months 3 on the outside.

After watching Shayne and British Boy (what's his name), I give them negative 2 months. I think they are DONE - it didn't even seem like they liked each other any more. Doesn't matter what they said, body language said it all. She nearly sneered when he spoke or touched her....

I would watch it if Jason was the next bachelor. Would he do it remains to be seen. I don't think he'll have much trouble finding women but it may be harder to weed through them now is all. Jesse seems like a good guy so I can't fault DeAnna much on picking him. I liked the ring he picked better than Jason's. Did I see her picking him in the beginning though? Absolutely not. I was so sure it was going to be Jason, but that's why it's such great TV. Here's to season...14?

ETA: And eew to Shayne and the Brit. I soooo do not like her at all. And I definitely don't seem them being the next Trista and Ryan.

Notice the D&J's wedding date - May 9 - falls right into sweeps? I foresee another televised Bachelorette wedding.

That is exactly what I said to my husband when she said the date last night! LOL. And I love how they kept building it up as the "big announcement". After all the speculation going around, I thought they were building up to something big like her being pregnant. So when all they did was say they'd picked a date, I thought, "so?"

LOL, me too. I was like, that's the BIG announcement? Dooped again by Chris!

I am so expecting the televised wedding! YAY! I will be there if it happens.

I do think Jesse was a bizarre choice, but based on the character of his parents I am trying to believe that it could possibly work. I was pretty much spoiled for the ending (some sleuths at television boards had figured out it would be Jesse by evidence of re-shoots for the proposal), but I still don't get it, especially after the particularly awkward family date (though I guess sister-in-law Crystal was digging on Jesse). But seriously... teaching her grandma to do "nugs"?? uh, yeah.

I was glad Deanna admitted she has some compassion for Brad now, having gone through it.

I like Jason's ring better... and Jason FTW for calling her out about Graham. The look on her face was priceless. I didn't really like Deanna during Brad's Bachelor series, and I liked her even less for most of this series, but I did think she came off the best she has tonight. Jason was clearly crushed, but I thought she was at least kind and compassionate to him - unlike she was with Jeremy at the "Men Tell All."

I was hoping we might hear who the Fall Bachelor will be but I guess they haven't started filming yet.

Maybe Jeremy will be the next Bachelor? He's easy on the eyes and I think he took a real pummelling too.

Yeah, but him and Graham were being kinda d-bagish at the men tell all...

I don't buy that either. At the "After the final rose" show she gave him the same BS she told the other guys:

"Oh my heart is breaking and you have no idea what this feels like!"
"And I didn't know it wouldn't be you until after the one on one dates"

She could have at least used a couple of new lines.

And, when Jesse proposed and she said "I love you" she also said "I've waited so long to say that to you" If she'd been holding back on saying that for *so long*, then she knew a while ago, right?

I watched it again last night on my DVR since my cable, internet and phone all went out <grrr>. After Deanna's dad told her that Jason had asked for his permission to marry her, then she asked him if Jesse had asked too after his day with her family. She seemed really upset that he had not. Then the next day, he just happens to do it? It doesn't seem like something he would think of on his own and part of me wondered if she had told him that he should. That's just speculation on my part, but she really seemed to want to prop him up to her family.

I thought the same thing re: the I love you and the permission thing. When I watched it, I noticed how Jason had asked her father on day one. I know that Jesse was nervous and all when meeting the immediate family, but I figured he would have asked if he knew that's what it took to win DeAnna's heart. And when DeAnna found out that he hadn't asked... and then he just so happens to ask the next day?? Yeah, I'm not buying he did it on his own.

At at the "After the Final Rose" show, DeAnna's papa said that he knew that she had already picked Jesse. He knew based on the home visits... so I'm not buying her BS, either. And she is a big B*...

*on soapbox* I know that Jason joined the show on his own volition, but I think that she had a hand in keeping him and his son separated. Furthermore, she shouldn't have led Jason on for that long OR his son, for that matter. Once she went to Seattle, it made the situation very real for Jason and Ty. If she were a smart and compassionate woman, she would have cut him loose before then. I know that Jeremy had his parents die, and she said that she didn't want to lead him on anymore knowing his pain. But what of Jason's pain? And Ty's pain? They both had a woman walk out on them. And she basically brought that pain to the surface again by keeping him until the last minute. *off soapbox now*

I'm fully convinced now that Jason dodged a bullet, she irritates me more every time I see her or read anything by/about her now. I think she did find her "soulmate" in Jesse, I think she's much more of a flake IRL than she seemed to be at first on the show. In fact, now I feel a little sorry for Jesse. http://www.deannaandjesse.com/

Awwww, Jason ... he's just so durn cute. "Sleepless in Kirkland", lol. http://tvwatch.people.com/2008/07/25...orettes-jason/
