The Bachelorette - (DeAnna Pappas)

[SthrnZeta]

Team Jason! (cuz Richard was sent home)

[breathesgelatin]

Here's an interesting interview with Twilley where he mentions that he's in a fraternity (mention is toward the end):

Anyone want to do some research and see what GLO he was in? I think he comes off really well in the interview. Yeah, he's kinda out-there, but I believe he's perfect for somebody.

What are everyone's thoughts on tonight's episodes? I'll keep mine to myself for the moment 'cause I need to get to bed, but I'll come back later and comment.

I'm glad he's gone! Can I say who? I know that personally, I avoid this thread until I've watched the latest episode. Anyway, yayyy good riddance!

And OMG how cute were Jason and his son? Awww!

[AGDee]

I was so glad she sent him home. I was afraid she was going to be stuck in some dysfunctional ongoing relationship with him where she kept trying to pry him open. I think this was a case of "He's not into you", but I don't know why he stayed, if that was the case. I can't stand Jesse's hair. I don't feel like I know Jeremy well (although I missed the first half of last night's episode.. have to watch it on DVR still). I like Jason best of those who are left.

[srmom]

You know, I keep wonder what "professional basketball" team he plays for. I didn't think there was much of a market for short white guys who can't shoot baskets! He missed all but one shot! haha!

Jeremy seemed really nice last night. It made me cry when he talked about his mom dying.

[groovypq]

He's actually not playing basketball now, so I'm not sure why they keep putting that on his name. He played college bball at Appalachian State and was playing pro ball overseas. I guess "pro basketball player" just sounds better to them.

Jesse: AWKWARD on the not-kissing thing. I'm still not totally sold on him, although strangely he and Deanna do seem to have a lot in common.

Jeremy: is hideous to me. I know he's got a body but I find his face HIDEOUS and his personality dull. I thought the Sinatra date was blah.

Jason: his star is rising. I can see him as the final guy. He's open and honest without being lame like Jeremy.

Twilley: I think even he knew that getting this far was a joke for him... I really don't understand why he stayed and Brian went home last week.

Graham: the douche meter is rising. This week he seemed completely and totally fake to me.

Sean: I had mixed feelings on him this week. I really hated the life background story where we found about his Hummer, his ugly McMansion home, his ridiculous clothes closet, his facial products, his in-home tanning area and sauna, and what else am I forgetting...?? his general lameass conspicuous consumption. At the same time, I thought he was really sweet and cute on his date - if at times he did seem to be moving too fast. Maybe that's what turned Deanna off.

I am also calling nonsense on skipping the cocktail party because she already made up her mind. Why didn't we just skip this entire week, because she'd probably had her mind made up since the LAST rose ceremony. How much could a cocktail party really lead someone on?

Ready for the crazy drama of next week!

They should all dump her and leave her at the altar again.

You're talking about a show that called that other guy a Prince...

[breathesgelatin]

I found something interesting. Some pictures have emerged of the guys (along with some of the girls from Matt's Bachelor: London Calling season) that were taken of them all hanging out during the Men Tell All Episode weekend in LA.

DO NOT CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW IF YOU ARE NOT SPOILED FOR THE NEXT CUT. THE PERSON WHO DOES NOT MAKE THE FINAL TWO IS PICTURED IN SOME OF THEM.

Cool images, including Football Coach Brian in a Chi Omega shirt

Richard & Noelle from last season = my new OTP. Deanna, Richard is too good for you.

Chelsea, you look a mess.

Graham, you are fully the player I thought you were.

ETA: Link to tell-all interview with Graham from Charlotte Observer

^^ Wow, I so did not expect that... I couldn't help but click!!! Still Team Jason!!! (still only because Richard is gone - man he looked hot in some of those pics!)

Agreed, Richard looks awesome in those pictures. Deanna is an idiot!

I finally caught up on episodes last night, I've missed the last 2 or 3 weeks. Thank baby jebus Graham is gone, I NEVER knew what she saw in him. "Smokin' hot?" Ugh, not in a million years. And when they recapped their journey together, it was so sad to see that she was constantly chasing him, leaning in to him for a kiss, etc. If he thought he was just "playing it cool", he took it too far, he was being a d*ck. After the 3 great dates she had with the other guys, I was surprised she said "I'm sending away the only one I was falling in love with" when she walked Graham out. OUCH for the other 3. Graham doesn't deserve that much effort.

I love love love Jason, but after watching the last few episodes, I'm now suddenly a big fan of Jeremy too. I couldn't stand him the first or second shows, but he's really grown on me. The stuff about his parents really got to me, he's grown up, settled, and oh good lord does he have a good body. That's just gravy, of course, not necessary for a great relationship, but it doesn't hurt. Jesse has grown on me a little too (his hair looks better on him when he's in his element on the slopes -- he looked better overall in his element there), but they are clearly stuck in the "friend zone". I was actually surprised she kept him over Sean, I thought he'd snuck up in the pack too.

I'm torn whether I want her to end up with Jason or Jeremy.

I agree. Graham was just cold and reminded me a lot about my ex.

She had 3 really great guys left (Jeremy and Jason are my 2 top favorites though).

Jeremy is from Dallas, so if she doesn't want him, she can send him back my way!

And I wonder if that won't be his ace in the hole, she came into this wanting a "southern gentleman", right? As much as she may adore Jason, I'm not sure I see her in Seattle.

Plus, how great would Jason be on his own Bachelor show?!??! (if he could leave his son for that long again)

[SATX*APhi]

I don't believe Jeremy is being genuine at all. I made my guy watch with me last week and he said that Jeremy was being fake.

Jesse's morals and such are super cute but he still seems like a big kid.

I like Jason.....a lot. There's just something about him. He's my pick.
