Bachelorette...Final Rose!

I am a little sad that this will be my last post on the Bachelorette. Reality TV is funny that way. It gets you integrated into a strangers life, making you feel as though you have become their friend, and then, it is all over. We are left wanting to know the rest of the story, but we don't. Thanks to all of you who have been reading and posting your comments. They have not gone unread. So, what will life after the Bachelorette bring...how 'bout life with Big Brother which starts July 13th (Dave and I's 6 year anniversary!). So, set your tivos and come back for more. I don't think I will commit to posting every time it comes on, because it is a 3x per week show, but will most likely post after the evictions!

Now, on to the good stuff. Tonight is the "DeAnna's Hometown" dates, one last one on one date, and the final rose ceremony. The previews are showing the guys have the hometown dates together...are you serious? That is totally awkward!

Let's get started! I vote for DeAnna to pick Jesse!

Side Note: I am watching the show with Dave. He just said that it is so sad that one of the guys is going to loose...awwww! Dave is tapping into his inner woman!

I love how they show the guys coming out of their hotel room, standing on their balconies, all dishevelled. Right now they are giving a little recap of Jason and DeAnna's journey. He seems like a sweet enough guy, but I hate how he holds her chin when he kisses her. Jason seems like a sweet guy with a great family. My main concern for him is his history with his ex-wife and the fact that he has a son. Also, I wonder if Jason is really connected to Seattle. That is a long way from where DeAnna's family is. Would Jason be willing to move himself and Ty that far away from his family?

Now is Jesse's journey. I love that he called himself the skinny white snowboarder! He has really evolved as a man though this journey. I also love how they have grown as a couple, from friends to more! I appreciate that in him, and I also think his family is so genuine!

DeAnna's Hometown: Newnon. They will meet her dad, sister and brother. DeAnna was saying that when Brad came to her hometown, her family was really nice and accepting of him. Her family is not going to be like that with these guys. They are going to be tougher on them.

Jason is first to meet the family! He came bearing flowers for DeAnna and the family. It has to be hard for the guys to have to walk behind the footsteps of Brad. Jason is explaining that his ex-wife meet a man that she wanted to spend her time with and left Jason and Ty. That is a blow! Her dad has the same concerns as me, is DeAnna ready to step into a family? Not that Jason isn't a good guy or that he doesn't deserve love, but I don't know if D is ready for that. Jason had a one on one with her sister, then her dad. He is looking her dad in the eyes telling him that he "is in love with your daughter." He just asked her permission to propose to her! Her dad seemed surprised and said that no one has ever asked that before! He also said that, "if she chooses you, you have my blessing." Man! That was sweet, but I hope Jesse wins it. There is still something missing or off with Jason and DeAnna.

Jesse is up now...he just said "Rad!" I love this guy. He did get a hair cut. He seems really nervous, like really nervous, when he first met her family. Her dad seems a little turned off by his hair! My stepdad would be turned off by that too! Jesse is obviously not the typical guys she has dated, which to me is a good sign. Her type of guy didn't work for her in the past! Jesse is going to have one on one time with her dad. They seem concerned about his future with snowboarding. What is life like after snowboarding? As Jesse is talking to her dad about past relationships, his future with DeAnna and their plans, he is just so real! I love that! Her dad did say that if Jesse and DeAnna didn't come and visit, they would send the 6 ft 4 in nephew to hunt them down.

DeAnna and her dad are talking about the two guys. Her dad seems to like Jason more. He thought he was more genuine when he was talking about his feelings for her. DeAnna seemed visibly upset when she heard that Jesse didn't as for permission to marry her!

They did things a bit different. They got to meet her dad, sister and brother yesterday. Today, they get to come over again and meet the WHOLE family. The catch is that both the guys will be there...an attempt by ABC to get more viewers?? Don't really think that is very kind. Jesse looks equally as nervous as he did yesterday! When the guys see each other...Awkward! Jason is turning on the charm, Jesse is not as comfortable!

Ok, this show is 2 hours...I'm going to wrap it up!

D went back to the Bahamas to have the last one on one dates with the guys. Guess who shows up!!!!...JEREMY!!! I wished it would have been Graham. He had to open up and let her know his feelings, to which she tearfully rejects him again. Ouch.

Jesse's date: private island...lots of kissing!!! Jesse gave her a book of thoughts that had pictures of them from their dates and sweet little sayings. Girls, that is a good gift for our guys!

Jason's date: scuba diving...not lots of kissy kissy... Jason gave her a hand crafted board game. All the questions had to do with their times together and his feelings for her. Totally creative guys!

Both the guys shop for rings. The ring guy asked Jason if this was his first time, to which he answered no. Not good. When Jesse was about to go to the ring store, he almost threw up. How sweet is that!

Ok, this is my bachelor theory. Whoever gets out of the limo first gets the ax!

First out...Jason. The meet and have a nervous small talk. Then Jason gets down on one knee. D says, No, I can't
Crickets, crickets...

It seriously looked like a soap opera, seriously! D let him know that she was in love with someone else. Were ya'll scared of the look Jason was giving her? I thought he was really going to hit her!

Yea! She is going to pick Jesse! I was right!!!

Jesse's up! J: "...and the thought of not being with you kills me...I want to spend forever with you...DeAnna Marie Pappus, will you spend forever with me!?"

So sweet!

D says yes and the kiss and say I love you like 20 times.

Closing: D says with a hug smile as she is hugging Jesse, "I can't believe I am going to marry the guys with pink shoelaces!"

I love it.

Ok, I am off to watch, After The Rose!
