It's with a heavy heart the I type the final Rose Report for this Bachelorette season. Deanna is the hardest working contestant in this crazy ride of any other Bachelor/Bachelorette. Wow..and tonight was 3 hours!!!!Two romantic hours of the finale...and the the After the Final Rose show.
I'm emotionally spent. What a season!!!
This particular show was rife with twists and turns. For the uninitiated, the finale show consists of the final two contestants meeting the Bachelorette's family, a 'final date', and the last rose ceremony/potential engagement.
As much as I thought Deanna rocked it for most of the show, I don't have enough digits to count upon how many times she brought up Brad and her heartbreak on the first show. Enough already. You were hurt..Brad didn't pick you...get over it..you got your own freaking episode with mostly lovely men...Okay..had to get that off my chest. Brad dissing her came up over and over with her family meeting with Jason then Jesse.
Well the first J to meet the Pappas' (dad, sister and brother) was Jason. Cute, enthusiastic, warm, loving attentive....so the Pappas' are diggin on Jason. Jason let 'em know that his wife dumped him and left him for someone else (cue sad Bachelorette music). All is good with the Greeks and Jason.
That leaves Jesse to saunter in his casual t-shirt and jeans...looking like he just rolled in from the skateboard park. So Jesse lopped his locks much to Papa Pappas' satisfaction. Awkard family meeting. But seriously...how do you tell the immigrant father that I'm dating a dude who snowboards for a living...I don't think my dad would think it was rad either...and I don't think Pops Pappas was duly impressed. Awkward visit...but Deanna seems more physically into Jesse.
The Double Date with the Greeks from Georgia
I thought Jesse's meet the family was awkward...but having both guys with the extended family was very odd..and holding hands with both guys on the couch??Questionable taste. Jason was chatting up the senior Pappas while Jesse was chillin with the sister and sister-in-law...but he got a nug with Grandparents. It was a very odd 4 minute segment.
Back to the Bahamas....
Seems like we just left the Grand Bahama but we're back again for the final dates...but guess what? We thought only two bachelors were left..but guess who never left the island??Nope... not Paul from Edmonton was sneaking in another bubble bath in Deanna's tub..but Jeremy..wondering why he's been snubbed. Looking cleaning pressed and freshly shaven, he announces to the camera that he must still talk to Deanna. Was the perfect dude walking around the island after she dumped his perfectly chiselled self. After he got out of the limo that last fateful episode was he wandering around the Grand Bahama's wondering: "How could Deanna dump me...I mean look at me. When people call me shredded they are referring to my abs and not my feelings. I gotta talk to this girl". So perfect Jeremy achieved what no jilted Bachelor has ever done....made a reappearance to state his case...perhaps his law degree helped him get out to the clause that states..when you are dumped the limo drops you off and you are never to be seen again, unless we want to ridicule you in a future "tell all' show. Figures that Jeremy would find a loophole. So what does he do?? he comes to Deanna's room to tell her she's making a mistake...then to be shocked and dismayed that she is falling for the Others. Clearly she must be nuts. Jeremy needs to hit another show and get Lost.
okay.back to the show.
Now if y'all didn't see foreshadowing in the final date...
Jesse gets the deserted island:Love is romantic.
Jason swims with the sharks: Love bites.
Decision Time at the Grand Bahamas.
Deanna is looking resplendent in her blue dress tinged with seafoam green, the green was also picked up in her dangly gold earrings. She did look gorgeous. Up rolls white limo number one..with Jason in his blue shirt and Georgia peach tie. Well love is the pits for Jason..because he is denied at the Bachelorette engagement stage...yikes..he even got down on one knee. Then Deanna pulls him up and tells him the usual...i care about you..but i care about someone more. Ouch. Yikes. Jason leaves. I'm sad for jason...but the guys I've been cheering for is going to pop the question....
Limo number two..with beyond adorable and with matching gorgeous personality...Jesse rolls up. Jesse the dude who impressed us on his first meeting with his amazing technicolour dreamcoat (and pink shoelaces)...did it!!! Deanna's going to pick him!!! And he has a lovely, heartfelt proposal of forever!! Sigh..Jesse you rock and Deanna is one very fortunate person. See...being dumped by hot Brad had lovely benefits....
Congratulations Deanna and Jesse!!!!! Wedding May 9, 2009!! See y'all in the Bahamas.....
Until the next installment of my favourite show ever....I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!
