Deanna went on three romantic overnight dates on Grand Bahama Island with Jeremy, Jesse and Jason. The J’s have it on this season’s Bachelorette. Twilley, Ryan and Fred never stood a chance.

Jeremy and Deanna rode jet skis and had a picnic. Jason and Deanna kayaked and had a picnic. Jesse and Deanna rode horses through the water and had a picnic. Picnics were a very big thing on these romantic day dates.

Jeremy confessed that he was already falling in love with Deanna. Jesse told Deanna if she picked him she better be prepared to marry him cause that’s what he was prepared to do and Jason thanked Deanna for showing him that he could love again and he knew that because he was falling in love with her too, and then gave her a gift of a sandal/flip-flop necklace.When presented with the redundant, predictable note from Chris Harrison (the man with the lamest and easiest job in america), the boys each add their special blend of pizazz to the invitation of ’should you decide to give up your individual rooms and spend the nite as a couple in the fantasy suite… blah blah blah.’

Jeremy’s pretty straight-forward about saying yeah lets go to the fantasy suite. Jason frickin had me rolling on the floor as he got three words into reading it and tossed it in the air proclaiming, “do i even need to read the rest of this, let’s go!” and Jessie tells DeAnna, “i’m not sure I can go to the fantasy suite with you without having met your father first.” and then breaks a smile. kidding of course!Deanna had the least laughs with Jeremy and despite his perfectness and the perfect life she was sure to perfectly have if she picked him, DeAnna sent Jeremy home in a very sad good-bye… sad for Jeremy mostly. I felt for him. Seriously. and I’d be happy to feel him at some later date.

So who will Deanna pick? She is happy, in love and engaged as she sat talking and answering questions on the “Men Tell All” special immediately following the show. It’s Jason or Jesse and next week at this time we will know.

On The Men Tell All, Jeremy still seemed hurt by DeAnna’s dismissal and DeAnna didnt sugarcoat her justification to him asking, “how or when did you know?”. DeAnna tells Jeremy that when she was with each guy she was fully with them but after her overnight date with him, she realized she was already in love or falling in love with Jesse and Jason. OUCH. that hurt - even from my couch!

Meanwhile Graham took a bit of shit from DeAnna too, but quite frankly he deserved it. And she made it clear that even though at the time she sent him home she second-guessed herself she certainly wasn’t second-guessing herself anymore and happy she sent him away.

Fred, loveable Fred, got asked out by a woman in the audience and accepted. Find A Date Now! - Date.com


Ryan just babbled and made more dumb dialogue to fill space.

And tatoo trainer from NYC did a reinactment of his shirt-ripping tat-exposing exit from the show.

and Chris Harrison got to utter, yet again, these words, “when Brad Womack broke DeAnna’s heart and did not pick her … blah blah blah blah…..the drama the re-cap, is there no end to how many times we must here these lines?”

Last night’s much-anticipated hometown dates on The Bachelorette were not disappointing. Deanna Pappas visited her finale four men in their hometowns.

First, she met Jesse in Colorado where he taught her how to snowboard, something she’d never tried before and something he does professionally. Jesse was very cute and fun and continued to take his time before planting a first kiss on Deanna. The meeting with his family was nice and then Jesse took DeAnna for a carriage ride where he finally locked lips with her.



Second, DeAnna heads to Dallas Texas to see Jeremy. Jeremy takes her for a spin on his motorcycle where she has to grab him tight and hold on for the ride. To her (and my) delight this is a nice surprise about Jeremy. He may be more interesting than he originally appeared.

DeAnna then gets a tour of Jeremy’s perfect apartment to which she comments he’d be the first guy whose place she didnt have to redecorate. Yes, I could move in there too. Very Pottery Barn meets West Elm.

Jeremy shows DeAnna photo albums of his parents who have both passed away and then reads to her from the journal he wrote whilst sitting by his mother’s bedside in her final days. Jeremy and DeAnna were not the only ones who needed a box of tissues, this Diva was balling her eyes out. They then sit down to dinner with Jeremy’s two very protective brothers and his sister-in-law. All goes well despite the hard time his older brother gives DeAnna…all out of love for his brother.

I know, I know, up until now I have said I thought he was a bit creepy but after his shirt came off last episode and after watching last nite’s show I retract my comments and will step in line should DeAnna toss him aside.




Third, we’re off to Seattle where Jason introduces DeAnna to his 3 year old adorable son, Ty. The reunion between Jason and Ty hugging and rolling around brought tears to DeAnna’s eyes. Jason is a cutie-pie and he is even cuter with his son. DeAnna shares the day with them and then meets the rest of his family. Jason gets some tough love and good advice from his mom. After dinner, the entire family and DeAnna play leap-frog in the front yard. Jason’s parents even prepare a greek meal in DeAnna’s honor. They adore her.

Lastly, Graham welcomes DeAnna to North Carolina with lots of hugs, kisses and carressing but it isn’t long before he becomes withdrawn and silent and shuts her out. Graham’s inability to communicate is reiterated by his mother who tells DeAnna that she wonders about his readiness to be in a long term relationship as he has not seemingly had one. This just enforces what DeAnna had already feared about the only guy in the house whose clothes she wants to rip off every time she sees him. After a sometimes good, sometimes bad hometown visit with him, Graham and her are sitting on a bench alone and Graham can’t or won’t express what he is thinking about. This will prove to be the moment at which the fat lady sings.

During the elimination ceremony DeAnna says nothing and makes no thank you speech as she has before handing out roses. She gives one to Jesse. She gives one to Jeremy. She gives one to Jason. She then escorts Graham out to say good-bye and bursts into tears telling him that he was the one person she was falling for and he disappointed her and she couldnt risk standing alone at the end when he rejected her as she fears he would. Graham hands her a note to be read off-camera. As Graham gets driven away, DeAnna questions her decision and states that first and foremost she wants to fall in love and now she’s not sure that will happen.

I give DeAnna kudos and props for sending home the guy we all know we would chase till they squashed and broke our hearts. Graham and her had amazing chemistry and that had to be hard as hell to send him packing. She followed her head for the sake of her heart and hopefully it will pay off.

On the other hand, has to be difficult for the remaining 3 guys watching this in hindsight to see that even that far along in the season DeAnna didnt seem to be falling for any of them.

Suave Coconut Hair Conditioner, that is!! I found several posts last week online recommending this stuff for help with frizzy crazy hair. Once the humidity kicks in I start to look and feel like Rosanne Rosanna Danna. So I caved and coughed up the 1.89 at my local Duane Reade and having just used it can honestly say, OMG my hair feels like hair not sandpaper. Not sure it’ll have the same effect on repeat use, but so far I’m diggin it and the luscious coconuttie smell. Suave Naturals Conditioner, Tropical Coconut
