Hey Y'all
Someone pass the tissue..I'm still snifflin' from last night's Bachelorette....That was the most dramatic Bachelorette ever!!
There wasn't a dry eye in the room.
The slippery slope into Deanna's heart
First, we had head to Colorado...Jesse electrifies the ski hill in his smashing blue number, in his stellar capable maneuvering of him (and Deanna ) down the mountain and then for a hat trick manages to make the most progress in Deanna's eyes of all bachelors! The icicle doesn't fall far from the frozen tree when you meet Jesse's parents. Jesse's mom and dad are the real deal...sweet, honest, forthcoming, open regular folk and just plum full of love for Jesse, for who they waited 12 years for his birth. (sniff). Jesse even has a snowboarding charity for less privileged kids. (sniff). And what about Jesse's dad's encouragement to open his heart (sniff) Jesse proclaims if he makes the cut, he's gonna kick it up so much the other guys won't know what hit them!!!!!! (go Jesse go)
Deanna takes the stand in her defence
In the next hometown round of romance we head to Dallas, Texas. Vroom!!! Jeremy races over to pick up Deanna. Vroom!!! They speed around town with Deanna precariously perched on the back of Jeremy's bike. It looked like an incredibly uncomfortable position. Deanna dismounts to visit Jeremy's well appointed bachelor pad. I think Jeremy and kung fu Sean could have had a neat closet competition. What was up with the flip chart paper on the walls?? For his bar exam??? what??? Did anyone get that??Even Deanna mentions that she wouldn't need to do any redecorating. So Deanna and Jeremy look at photos of Jeremy's mother and father and we all feel sad. Then Jeremy tells Deanna that his mom wanted him to be with someone she would be proud of ( feeling a bit sad and then a tad pressured for Deanna)...then Jeremy reads his journal that he wrote when his mother was dying...more sadness. I've never shed so many tears at the Bachelor. So Jeremy's brother interrogate Deanna. Listen bros...little Jeremy put himself in this predicament...so no need to be tough on our sister of the south. She's just keepin' it real(ity show). Then the brothers who didn't happen to get the good looks or six pack genes, go on to say that the last woman that broke was Jeremy's mother. sssnnnnnniffff....pass the tissue again...and make it 3-ply. Deanna and Jeremy apparently have this bond.....but is it in a romantic or support group type of way??? The jury is still out.
Can Deanna Ty the knot???
Pass a new box...this hometown date is where I lost it...okay my favourite male on the show is Ty..(then Jesse)....what an incredibly adorable child!!! And what a smart little dresser. Well first Ty and Jason have a beautiful reunion..and Jason reassures Ty that he is happy now. Gawd....this show is killing me!! Then Deanna gets introduced....and she produces a gift fo Ty... a little blue golf ball??? Okay Deanna...we know the show is all about you and your quest for true love forever...but get over yourself for a minute and buy the kid a decent present. If you can bring a bottle of wine to Graham's parents..then at least get this kid a stuffed animal, a toy car, a puzzle representing your search for how this will all fit together...but a golf ball??? Lame. Okay so at least someone springs for a loaf of bread and they all feed the ducks. Then off to Jason's family. How do you say Welcome in Greek... I dunno, but I'm sure Jason's family knows, they broke out the dolmades, tzatziki and ouzo to welcome our Greek bachelorette. They even opa'd around the living room. Love was in the air, food and drink at Jason's. They would rock as inlaws. There was even a good-bye game of leapfrog...then....the heartwrenching good bye to Ty. Man, who needs to watch the Notebook to bawl your eyes out. If Deanna doesn't pick Jason after this...I Ty would kick her Greek butt.
The B-baller with no cajones
I just can't Raleigh support for Graham. Deanna meets Graham at his old high school. Appropriate given that his maturity level is likely the same now as when he graduated in '98.
Wow...I coulda cried at this hometown...but not from sadness...but from frustration. Deanna is clearly in like/lust/love with Graham. Does she not see that he is not just that into her. How much does he not love her...let me count the ways....his body language in the living room with his parents, his inability to speak up in the woods when she asks him "if this is what it will be like when it's just him and her", his flippant tone and diction when he said "well good luck", his indifference when he said good-bye. What is she doing with this guy? Don't wait for the rose ceremony....turn him loose. Didn't Graham remind you of that guy that you liked but never liked you back....oops..this report is about Deanna....okay back business...
The Rose Ceremony..
Egad..who will she pick. Jesse looked hot even in a white suit (and I only thought Boyz II Men could pull off white suits...well him and my wittle nephew John in his baptism suit...but I digress)...Jeremy look pretty in purple...and Jason looked cute and earnest. Well and Graham wore jeans. He probably thought the plane ride home would be more comfortable in jeans.
First Rose..Jesse!! Score...I'm relieved for the rest of the ceremony.
Second....Jeremy!! Well of course he got one..he's perfect.
Third............Jason....superdad rocked it....Graham take your emotionally unavailable adolescent self home...but first..Deanna must (contractually) walk him out. Somebody pass Deanna a tissue...tears spill from her eyes? Why oh why Deanna?? She tells him she's letting go of the person she was falling in love with. I must say...she's there for the right reasons but falling for him for the wrong reasons. But she pulled herself together to let Graham go. Graham pretends like he's wiping something from his eyes, can't even face her.....then pulls something from his pant pocket...nope no cajones..but a note!! He's gonna pass Deanna a note...maybe it was junior high that his maturity peaked. He can't even manage to look her in the eyes to say good-bye. He's probably going to grab a slurpee at 7-eleven to drown he sorrows..then go shoot a couple hoops....Good riddance.
Next Week...there is a Men Tell All..then the FOD (Fantasy Overnight Dates)....and Jesse might say no to the FOD...Stay tuned!!
This is the best show ever!!! I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!
