Most dramatic rose ceremony…EVER
For once, Chris Harrison wasn’t kidding. Last night, Bachelorette DeAnna Pappas chose snowboarder Jesse over puppy-dog-eyed dad Jason in the finale that I don’t think anybody saw coming. (Um, except for me!; D. you totally owe me seventy-five cents.) I guessed correctly that DeAnna would choose excitement and somebody her own age who could (theoretically) give her all his attention instead of going with the safe choice of a family she allegedly wanted with a man who’d always put her number two. Don’t cry for him, Jason-lovers; I’m putting down money (D.? Anybody?) that, by this time next year, he’ll be engaged to a woman who fell in love with him through her television.
I found Jesse extremely sexy and liked him and DeAnna as a couple more than I liked her and Jason; I think Jason is too good for DeAnna and that there’s somebody better suited for him out there. Still, was it just me, or did DeAnna and Jesse seem insanely fake during the After the Rose? (And Shayne and Matt didn’t seem too solid, either.) Bachelor couples squeezing every last drop out of their “relationship” for the camera? Well, I never!

I was so upset! I knew she’d pick Jesse but I had hoped she’d pick Jason. He’s so great! And you’re right, he’s too good for her. I think Jesse is way too young and not ready to settle down. And I agree, they seemed way fake during the after show. Made me want to vomit!

I had read so many spoilers from people that were at the “After the Rose” taping last week, so I knew she picked Jesse and not Jason.
I totally agree with your summations.
I LOVED Jason and really liked Jesse.
In the end, Jason is a bit too good for her and she and Jesse are better suited– wait, didn’t you just say that? I’m being redundant!!! LOL
Anyway, I still watched with baited breath.
I do hope they are in love and it lasts.
That would be a refreshing change from the past…

I think DeAnna and Jesse looked ABSOLUTELY smitten — though one has to think that they’re still in the honeymoon phase, haven’t yet lived together so perhaps it won’t be all sunshine and butterflies forever. For the time being, though, they do seem genuinely happy — so nice for them
I totally cried when he proposed too…I’m such a sucker!

One more thing (just because I’m obsessed with this like MAC lip gloss)…
I wish:
1. She wouldn’t have let Jason get down on one knee.
2. She would have let him go a bit earlier. I mean, I guess she still thought she “loved” him until the end, but come on…..
I agree, he’s going to do just fine.
I LOVED LOVED LOVED him! But, he was not the better one for Dee.
P.S.– I’m the one from the CATE Reunion!

Double or nothing they break up before their “event” wedding!

I can’t believe people are predicting (and wishing) for this couple’s demise. Imagine that kind of scrutiny in your own relationships…shame on you if you wish them anything but a happy life.
