Bachelorette DeAnna Pappas Bye Bye Graham 6-23-08

A big surprise that my wife guessed right last week is Graham was sent packing home. DeAnna was definitely more into him than he was into her. I am glad he went home because I don’t think he was going to stick around if he won the final rose. After watching the show, I thought Graham was foolish to let her go. There seems to be a mystery about that letter and I do hope we find out what it said. Again my wife was right that it was his to lose and he lost it.

I wonder if Graham wanted to be let go or if he wanted to stay but just couldn’t communicate his feelings the way she wanted him too. If he gave her just an ounce of an idea that he could be her special one, I think DeAnna would have kept him. Sometimes, I think it could be the editing which makes it look odd or out of sequence. From what I saw on their segment, she hugged him in a very clingy way when they first met. Both seemed genuinely happy together. The family get together went well. She said she was upset after talking to his mother, but I am not too clear why. Then they just sat around not speaking or had already said something and we, the audience, were watching an awkward moment. She described it being comfortable without having to speak and that she gets closer to him by just being together. But at the end of that segment, he says an awkward “good luck”. They weren’t really kissing or hugging at that point.

At the final rose ceremony, Graham didn’t dress up. She walked him to the car and she expressed it was difficult for her watching him sway back and forth, and knowing that she couldn’t give him the rose. Then he had a letter already prepared like he knew he wasn’t getting a rose.

Of the three guys left, she seems to have a good connection with all of them. It will be hard to figure out who she picks because she seems to describe being able to see falling in love with all of them. Her body language seems to be the same with all of them. I think the final 2 will be Jason and Jeremy. Jesse might be edited in such a way they may actually have a stronger connection than they show on TV. Did you notice all their names start with J. Anyways, I do hope she picks a guy that makes her happy and vice versa. I am leaning towards Jeremy at this point because they have that connection with their parents passing away from a terminal illness.

I am not sure if location will be a consideration, but I always think about it when I try to figure out who the final rose person is. Jason lives in Seattle with his kid and has a big family that lives there. I don’t think he would want to transplant his baby boy all the way to her hometown Newnan. Jesse lives in Colorado and loves to snowboard. I don’t know if there are mountains in Georgia for him to snowboard or teach snowboarding to kids there. Jeremy is an attorney and lives in Texas. It is the closest to Georgia and I have a feeling he would be willing to move for her. I don’t think DeAnna really wants to move away from her family. She doesn’t seem the type who can be away from her family and needs that physical closeness to them.

I’m happy to see that DeAnna Finally got rid of Graham. He was on an ego trip. Sort of reminded me of Brad.
I’m cheering for either Jeremy or Jason.
DeAnna doesn’t need to be with a “jock”. She is a very sweet person. Family is very important to her. Whomever she chooses, he must be her best friend. A marriage without the soldity of friendship is doomed. Love is grand, but best-friends last forever.

The final three men are truly wonderful. That being said I do not believe that Jesse is ready to marry and settle down right now where as clearly Deanna is. Wonderful, wonderful guy though… Jason or Jeremy would make a wonderful husband and clearly and ready to make that committment. Jason running to his son and clearly being so choked up touched me greatly. He is a wonderful father and a very kind, gentlehearted man.
Jeremy really openning up to Deanna about his mom and reading aload to Deanna what he had written when his mom died shows the depth and sensative hearted man he is. He clearly has fallen in love with Deanna- he wants her and needs her. Whew…

The bottome line at the end Deanna will chose who she feels most connected to. Any of these young men would do her mother proud….

Deanna – struggling to break free from defining real love as orgasmic/hot & from attraction to men who are emotionally unavailable, who provide conflict & drama. Graham’s unrevealed flaw drives women away. Even the sex isn’t worth 4 wks. Graham’s not arrogant. The poor man is cut off from his own feelings. Deanna is asking him to do what is impossible for him. He’s emotionally color blind.
There’s a great book on the five predominant ways people express love. Deanna defines love as physical affection, the feeling of ’smokin hot. Jason expresses love more in a service way. Jeremy’s love is more in verbal intimacy.
When D asks, after G leaves, will she be able to find love now, she is asking about her definition of physical lighting up (not even affection, more in heat and fast flame out). She seems to be wrestling with trying to find what love really is. Maybe she’s too immature in this regard to be forcing a decision?

I really thinks she has that with Jesse. She took the time to get to know him and as time progresses she really finds him hot. They have that friendship which is basically love set on fire.

Jason is so sweet and wonderful, I just think he needs someone local to him. I’m not sure if Deanna can give him what he wants.
